Land of the Free.
- Comment on The Copilot Delusion 1 week ago:
Healthcare is, sadly, tied to employment here in the US. That’s why the distinction between “full-time” and “part-time.”
I cannot go part time for that reason (even if it were an option in our industry to begin with).
I’d much rather be able to scale up and down my work hours, as needed (given life circumstances, current money needs, energy levels, etc.). But that’s a pipe dream.
- Comment on The Copilot Delusion 1 week ago:
I want to do this, too, but computers is how I earn money.

It would help if I’d actually read the article.
A full night’s sleep, and I’m rethinking my comment. I was hasty.
- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 2 weeks ago:
Ok, so, apparently, I don’t know what I’m talking about. I did watch one YouTube video though, and suddenly I felt like an expert on China.

It’s more than that. They want training data for their LLMs. With enough training data, they can train these models to do office knowledge work themselves, removing the need to employ cubicle drones at all.

If only we can somehow figure out how to bring back something like the web of the ’90s

Not much for good paying work in podunk towns.

- Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 1 month ago:
I have fond memories of self-hosting a qmail setup for a long time, then eventually migrating to a postfix configuration, back in the day.
Keeping up with spam filtering finally did me in.
- Comment on Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill 2 months ago:
Vasalgel is a better, proven, effective, safe, and easily reversible option.
Why hasn’t it been approved yet?
- Comment on Your Doctor's Screen Time Is Hobbling Health Care. 2 months ago:
In this particular use case, no. The LLM not only transcribes, but it summarizes, drafts, and categorizes as well (ICD-10 codes, cross-referencing medical history, etc.).
Very useful for overworked and under-resourced healthcare workers.
- Comment on Your Doctor's Screen Time Is Hobbling Health Care. 2 months ago:
AI is a mixed bag, and a whole lot of hype.
But voice-to-text auto-generation of patient notes during dr visits will be a huge win for the medical profession. Data entry by doctors and nurses will be cut down 10% (just review what the software transcribed, make edits, and sign off).
- Comment on Trump says U.S. will 'get Greenland,' military force may not be needed but not ruled out 2 months ago:
Yes, the executive branch under MAGA control will abide by rules and norms, obey the law, respect institutions, and heed court rulings. Checks and balances are holding strong!
We are safe from Fascism, so don’t worry!

I regret nothing.
- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 2 months ago:
Black comedy/gallows humor is a thing.
You don’t need to be so uptight. Nobody’s actually advocating for the murder of children here.
- Comment on Divided and conquered 2 months ago:
Some are dumb, some are evil. Some are both, but none are neither.
- Comment on Reddit could soon punish users for upvoting violent content. 2 months ago:
Reddit is now Fascist media. They will surpress talk of armed resistance, if (god forbid) it comes to that.
