  • And those status reports will be generated by AI, because that’s where the real savings is.

  • So you treated it like a junior developer and did a thorough review of its output.

    I think the only disagreement here is on the semantics.

  • Yeah, I’ve added AI to my review process. Sure, things take a bit longer, but the end result has been reviewed by me AND compared against a large body of code in the training data.

    It regularly catches stuff I miss or ignore on a first review based on ignoring context that shouldn’t matter (eg, how reliable the person is who wrote the code).

  • I’ve had success with:

    • dumping email threads into it to generate user stories,
    • generating requirements documentation templates so that everyone has to fill out the exact details needed to make the project a success
    • generating quick one-off scripts
    • suggesting a consistent way to refactor a block of code (I’m not crazy enough to let it actually do all the refactoring)
    • summarize the work done for a slide deck and generate appropriate infographics

    Essentially, all the stuff that I’d need to review anyway, but use of AI means that actually generating the content can be done in a consistent manner that I don’t have to think about. I don’t let it create anything, just transform things in blocks that I can quickly review for correctness and appropriateness. Kind of like getting a junior programmer to do something for me.

  • “…on display.”

    The crazy is still there; the culture just expresses it differently.

  • Have you spent much time in Arizona?

  • Security isn’t the size of the app, it’s how you use it :)

  • Well, browse Google below the SEO dreck. Then follow the links.

    Or, find some niche hobby site and follow its links.

    Branch out from the world wide web… I still visit Hotline sites, the odd Gopher server, and other protocols of yesteryear.

    Browse a few sites in the wayback engine and find linked sites that still exist there.

    Or, go a totally different route and browse Tor or I2P.

  • How come this logic doesn’t hold water for people who live in poor neighborhoods or areas with gang activity? Or for migrant workers from Mexico?

  • That means you need to get out more.

    The old Internet is still out there; it’s just that it is as flaky and hard to navigate as it always has been.

    The “modern” Internet is just a select number of services that send each other traffic and run by the algorithm.

    Most of the Internet I use in my spare time is stuff that’s been around since the 90s and still has about the same number of users it had then. Some of it is even indexed by search engines.

  • I wholeheartedly agree.

    There are better emotions to feed, and they don’t tend to result in rejection.

    “Black pill” is a different thing from not dating.

    I never dated, just spent time with people who shared my interests. Eventually, I and one of the people who I shared interests with realized that we were often doing so exclusive of other people.

    We essentially went from just living our lives to everyone seeing us as a couple, eventually us included.

    Pursuing dating for the emotional high will let you down every time. Being real about who you are and what drives you, and learning to have healthy give and take relationships that don’t involve unrealistic expectations means you’ll end up with a more fulfilling life.

  • Er, “instead of caving to our unreasonable demands, they’ve responded in kind.”

    It’s like Russia and Ukraine. Trump, if you want to work with Canada, just remove the trade barriers.

  • If “fears US aggression” is code for “fears reprisals from the US if they try the same thing with Taiwan” then your first sentence is correct.

    The US military existing and being ready to respond has historically kept a whole bunch of other players behaving more peacefully than they would otherwise do. The problem is when you get an unpredictable administration in power, which is when other countries start testing the waters and the US military is used unwisely.

  • Meanwhile, some places have been trying out 4-day 8 hour days, and have found that they retain competent staff who have fewer accidents and make fewer errors, increasing company productivity while reducing wage spend.

  • Fully closing some streets to vehicle traffic also helps. It not only reduces collisions but also increases vehicle throughput.

    The change in Vancouver is specifically aimed at minor streets though, where other traffic calming measures are usually already in place. And the reduced speed is a climate measure more than a safety measure.

  • I’m waiting for the news that most of the fires are out… due to extreme flooding.

    Climate change hasn’t been kind to Manitoba.

  • Hardships not seen in generations. I saw the oil crisis in the 70s and my grandparents were born in the great depression, fought in WWII and went through food rations.

    Seems like the boomers just got an unusual reprieve from hardships that have otherwise been seen by pretty much every generation.
