- Comment on After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes 3 days ago:
Wonder what the turnover rate in executives is. I bet it is about 8 years.
- Comment on After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes 3 days ago:
This 1000x. You think that senior dev got to that level hoping one day all they’d have to do is evaluate randomly generated code? No! They want to create, build, design, integrate, share. Cut out the middle, useless step and get back to the work these professionals have dedicated their careers to.

How in the glorious fuck was this not a thing from the start? In a system this big and this critical all code should be reviewed by cognizant individuals. Anyone who thought an LLM would be perfect and not need code reviews has their heads so far up their asses they can see through their pee hole.

False. Wasps don’t have souls.
Hornets on the other hand… I’ll see you in hell.
- Comment on Causes of death, or track list for latest black metal album? 6 days ago:
In 400 years our list of conditions will seem similarly naive and simplistic.
Been to a doctor lately? We can’t cure shit. We’ve got a few meds that can help balance systems or mask pain. We can cut shit open and rearrange it. We can zap some shit with radiation. But actually fix anything? Nah. Maybe in another 400 years.
“Oh, look, they treated obesity as a disease. And heart disease? Hahaha that’s funny. Hearts are so simple.Cant believe cancer is its own category. Everyone knows what causes that and how to treat it.”
I will say the improvement in infant mortality is amazing. At no time in human history have infants had a better chance of survival than now(ish). So maybe I’m just cynical and disillusioned with the current state of my medical care.

Take. My. Money.
- Comment on Stereotyping is wrong. 2 weeks ago:
When politics felt like shades of policy disagreements I could see it. Now it is either you support democracy and human rights or you’re supporting pedophiles and genocide. Not much common ground anymore.

You can find all sorts of gore on the Interwebs. This one… This one terrifies me.
- Comment on AWS suffered ‘at least two outages’ caused by AI tools, and now I’m convinced we’re living inside a ‘Silicon Valley’ episode 3 weeks ago:
You’re my hero-of-the-day™ for putting quotes around AI. Thank you for all you do.
- Comment on Can people irl be as mean as some people online? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I should have specified “people” in this context are coworkers. So, on the same page.
- Comment on Can people irl be as mean as some people online? 3 weeks ago:
Filters are generally stronger when paychecks are involved. That said, there are definitely people who don’t trust others they’ve only met virtually. On the flip side I’ve found people who I’ve met in person are then more apt to share their more extreme views with me online even in a work setting. It is a fascinating psychological and sociological phenomenon.
- Comment on Wendy's closes US restaurants and focuses on value to turn around falling sales 4 weeks ago:
Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and BK all started enshitifying until they realized they were hurting themselves. Even if they all revert to good, inexpensive food they are still left with the biggest problem that I’ve noticed: they have shit employees.
They cheapening also affected wages. Which means everything from line cooks to drive thru people to their store managers ended up being ridiculously inept. Maybe this is old man yells at clouds, but for me to step into one of these restaurants again there has to be attention paid to improving service. Drop the kiosk in favor of a friendly face who wants to help me get a meal I will enjoy. How about making the food semi presentable instead of apathy wrapping in wax paper. And of course I had better be able to walk away with lunch for $8 after tax.

Ahh, yeah, maybe. Looked like exposed copper to me but it might be covered.
All good then!

Top right… Wire that comes from the top of the left breaker probably used to go to the right breaker is hanging in mid air. That’s the one most likely to change someone’s life.
- Comment on 'Scowling Void of Pure Nothingness': Critics Destroy $75 Million Melania Trump Documentary | Common Dreams 5 weeks ago:
These dumb shits don’t get it. It was never supposed to be good. It was a bribe. Even wasting a second watching it to do a review is a waste of human effort.
- Comment on Pope Leo XIV brings not peace but a sword to AI oligarchs and a slop-mad world in new address, says it's 'Turning people into passive consumers of unthought thoughts' 1 month ago:
Pretty sure that’s their whole game. More projection, I guess. sigh

Beautiful. Fuck dog and parent… never had a graph make me well up with tears.
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 1 month ago:
Don’t you dare suggest FreeCAD.
I have a Hope/Hate relationship with FreeCAD. Sometimes I can get it to do something useful and I get hopeful. Then I try to do something simple and ruin the entire design and have to start from scratch and I curse the developers lineage for all of time. I want it to be great, and it is closer than it has ever been. But it isn’t a replacement for professional design suites.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 1 month ago:
You’ve convinced me that we need more users given the high number of current posters who like to criticize others with insults reminiscent of a bratty 5th grader. We need to dilute that voice.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 1 month ago:
That’s a very capitalist take. Remember how good things used to be? That’s how good the Fediverse is now. We don’t want it to grow or die. If it grows, great. If it doesn’t, great. Quality over quantity, imo.
- Comment on This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again 1 month ago:
OpenAI marketing > MIT analysis, apparently

Had someone unironically suggest that if Trump takes a third term that it would open the way for Obama to run again.
Anyone citing the old order of rules, laws, and fairness is delusional or under informed.

The temu tacti-gear is a nice touch. Can’t even SS properly.
- Comment on We used to have TV repairmen who would come if dad couldn't fix it with the tube from the grocery store kiosk. Weird. 2 months ago:
Shout out to Bosch… I have a 10-year old dishwasher from them and the drain pump stopped working. It was so easy to replace and readily available. I was actually happy to have it break, all told.
A lot of enshitification has happened in the last decade so no idea if their products are still like that, but when the time comes to get a new one I’ll certainly be giving them my first look.
- Comment on Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it? 2 months ago:
If they had a secret/method/process they’d use it to get rich instead of fleecing people.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 2 months ago:
the impression I get from the media
I think this is the issue the OP is trying to point out. There are many more silent, responsible gun owners than nuts.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 2 months ago:
They say every gun enthusiast has their scenario they’re planning for: home invasion, civil war, post apocalypse/disaster, mass shooting event, mugging, etc. When I think about what my scenario might be there isn’t a single one where I don’t end up dead, with or without a weapon. There is no number of weapons or amount of ammunition that would change that for me.
I struggle with that reality when I think about my own relationship with guns, but I can’t help thinking that “prepared” is better than “helpless”, even if the outcome is the same.
