Ain’t nothing quite like a robot on a bike

I think so? I’m not an expert on the setup or agreement, just worked under that situation. I assume there’s a privacy agreement and some level of uptime commitment

Lots of startups. At least that’s been my experience. Github org with private repos

Encouraged to use it, had a vibe coding hackathon, released a new product six months ago built on a ChatGPT integration

Not living for TV.
What’s the takeaway from Andor in this context?

It’s an important distinction that while tech (generally speaking) isn’t a grift, there are a lot of grifters in the tech industry, those are the tech bros the comment you’re replying to mentions. They don’t see tech as a tool for their users, they see it as a vessel to extract money from investors until they get enough users from whom to extract money so they don’t need investment money any more

That’s the kind of effort in thought and learning that the article is calling out as being lost when it comes to reading and writing. You’re taking the time to learn and struggle with the effort, as long as you’re not giving that up once you have the AI running you’re not losing that.

Because he’s 4 and has been rioting all day long

Watched a junior dev present some data operations recently. Instead of just showing the sql that worked they copy pasted a prompt into the data platform’s assistant chat. The SQL it generated was invalid so the dev simply told it “fix” and it made the query valid, much to everyone’s amusement.

The actual column names did not reflect the output they were mapped to, there’s no way the nicely formatted results were accurate. Average duration column populated the total count output. Junior dev was cheerfully oblivious. It produced output shaped like the goal so it must have been right

As convenient and amazing borrowing e-books is, it’s important to remember that it costs your library more because they have to renew a license on it regularly. As opposed to physical books that they buy once

He at least learned the ‘right’ lesson from the famous robber barons like Rockefeller, Carnegie, etc: when you make a fortune by exploiting everyone you can then you should spend that fortune to whitewash your name for future generations.

To keep it accessible we need to remember that most people have only heard of one or two distros

I can count no more

My org is encouraging it…

Yep. “We want more people to watch Shorts” -> A/B test cramming more into the home screen -> “More people watched Shorts with X change, roll it out to everyone” -> “What’s the next idea to get more people to watch Shorts?”
Someone gets the idea that more views on Shorts is what they need and start optimizing for it. On and on until another metric becomes more important and they optimize for that.

At my workplace eng management won’t shut up about AI and vibe coding.

I love this idea!
The translation isn’t as direct as the lines in the image imply though. “Watashi wa” becoming “I” hides that “wa” is a grammatical marker for the topic, kind of, of the sentence. More complete it’s like, “I, as the topic of this sentence”. You end up with a direct in place translation of “I, as the topic, a hotel’s across the street, as a location, a shop, as a setting, exists, saw a suit, to which, wearing as a desire, is true”
