  Same, I use it to put me down research paths. I don’t take anything it tells me at face value, but often it will introduce me to ideas in a particular field which I can then independently research by looking up on kagi.

  Instead of saying “write me some code which will generate a series of caverns in a videogame”, I ask “what are 5 common procedural level generation algorithms, and give me a brief synopsis of them”, then I can take each one of those and look them up

  It appears to me that we actively made the problem worse by removing shelter options from the market. It seems like you USED to be able to pay a small fee to sleep somewhere with a roof over your head, and now your own options for shelter are $1800/mo in rent, or sleeping on the street

  I believe that hiring is down but I have yet to see any evidence that it’s due to AI adoption. This is a narrative pushed by the media because they REALLY REALLY want it to be true

  Bullshit, I don’t believe it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember, kids! Unregulated capitalism is not your friend!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  As compared to today, where we humanely let homeless people sleep under bridges instead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The AI-powered collapse of the American tech workfoce⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have yet to see any evidence that AI is displacing tech workers. The articles which claim this always correlate the release of AI to layoffs in the tech market without looking Amy deeper. The more likely culprits I’ve heard are overhiring during the pandemic and less deficit spending due to high interest rates. AI is straight up not capable of replacing a software engineer yet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is America headed for an age of dumb phones?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You think we should bring back dumbphones because it will help us use social media less

  I think we should bring back dumbphones because it would make the devices more interesting and creative

  I am become the Joker

  Serious question: What do you use a 10GbE adapter for? Are there ISPs which offer 10gigabit bandwidth? I suppose it would be useful on a LAN

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speak American⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  America has one of the largest Spanish speaking populations in the world, so in future web applications I will use the American flag to indicate Spanish, for the lulza

  O’er* the land of the free

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“It’s Compiling!”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even C++ has gotten better if you use precompiled headers and parallel compilation in MSVC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft bans words like "Palestine", "Gaza" and "Genocide" in all company emails and fires the employee who protested Microsoft during event.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think anyone with half a brain would realize that disrupting a company event and calling your boss a “genocide profiteer” will definitely get you fired. Which, I assume, was the point of their protest. But you can’t talk about politics at work and act surprised when there are consequences

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“It’s Compiling!”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this has gotten a lot better though. I used to work on projects that took 10 minutes to compile and now the build tools I use are nearly instant

  Windows has a terminal interface already!

  I’m in the South so when I was a kid a imagined the bears eating grits. It wasn’t until I was older than I learned that porridge isn’t grits

  I think most people just leave it in the plastic bag, but personally I have a bread bag that breathes so the crust doesn’t become spongey

  I have never in my entire life seen an actual bread box, I thought they were a thing from England or something
