Seems like it simultaneously last week and also a decade ago.
- Comment on AI search finds publishers starved of referral traffic 3 weeks ago:
All that ad revenue won’t be surrendered without a fight. Just wait, there will be ads you have to click through to read all of the AI summary.

- Comment on Salt Lake City, plans to implement AI-assisted 911 call triaging to handle ~30% of about 450K non-emergency calls per year 4 weeks ago:
Have you ever heard a 911 call? People don’t speak in complete sentences. Not everyone speaks English. They yell. They cry. They whisper. There’s background noise. Sometimes they need instructions on CPR or first aid. They may not know where they are. This is a recipe for disaster.

You’ll likely die before you: a) remember where you put this thing, b) manage to successfully thread it far enough so you’re not inhaling toilet water, c) survive the sewer gases. If the window is big enough get through, better to jump.
- Comment on I'm a businessman, I do business 1 month ago:
You have to be in it for the long run.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 1 month ago:
Beginners are the least likely to ask thoughtful questions. We include slides in lectures about how to ask a question, but when there’s an assignment deadline and you’re inexperienced, it’s more likely you’re going to just blurt out “help me!” rather than provide a detailed explanation that doesn’t require repeated prompting. It takes time to learn how to work through an issue yourself before asking. Students are often facing time pressure and that can drive bad behavior. Correcting them is important, just don’t do it in a way that crushes their spirit.
- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 1 month ago:
Ever ask a question on SO? I tell my students to search there but never, ever ask a question. The unmitigated hostility is not what new developers need or deserve. ChatGPT won’t humiliate you for asking a question that someone else has already asked.

- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 2 months ago:
Congress hasn’t passed much of anything lately. They just let Trump do his executive orders. But even if they felt like doing anything at all, the GOP has control and can count on a few Dems to follow along.

- Comment on We'll pass Trump tariffs back as higher prices for Americans: German firm 2 months ago:
That’s exactly how tariffs work. It’s always been how tariffs work. No company is going to lower profits if they don’t have to.
- Comment on Meta ends its fact-checking program in the US later today, replaces it with Community Notes 3 months ago:
There’s no way this can cause the Earth to be catapulted into the Sun.
- Comment on Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats? 3 months ago:
My theory is the people making the decisions don’t actually use the products they make and have no idea what it’s like to use them. They hear that another site is using AI, for instance, and decide their own site needs to use AI. But they don’t understand what AI does or why they should/shouldn’t use it, only that they have to have it. Boom, enshittification.
- Comment on The pannotype mystery: cracking the code of a forgotten photographic process. 3 months ago:
The looks like an interesting process. It would cool to see someone create new ones but it won’t be simple given the requirements.
