those are milk duds?

exactly this. I’ve moved around a bit and the only places I’ve had to wait any significant amount of time have been near cities in red states.

really wish we just had universal vote by mail

yes I have indeed shopped at Costco lol

right now not a chance. it’s okay ish at simple scripts. it’s alright as an assistant to get a buggy draft for anything even vaguely complex.

ai doing any actual programming is a long ways off.

people look at this stuff as a yes or no and that’s a major misunderstanding.

I work in tech, and I can tell you 100% you could not just give a job to AI and call it a day.

I cannot even imagine this type of response generation ever being capable of that without developing some sort of true intelligence if for no other reason than to turn bad prompts by people who do not understand what they want or what is possible into functional projects.

that said, but I do believe is possible is that it makes like 5 to 10% of the job a little bit faster. programming is like 10 to 20% writing code and 80 to 90% understanding what that code should be and why it isn’t working that way yet.

Even the code you get from it is generally wrong but sometimes useful.

best case scenario I could see right now is not that it replaces jobs but that it makes people more effective, kind of like giving a framer a nail gun instead of a box of nails and a hammer except not that big of an efficiency gain.

ultimately this might mean you do the job with 8 people instead of 10, or something like that.

if it reduced the total number of jobs because it was a tool that made people more effective - did it take the job away?

SLAY THE SPIRE!

I definitely spent a frustrated 45 minutes trying to figure out why curl wasn’t working when it was supposed to be supported in PowerShell.

then I hit tab a couple of times and noticed curl.exe was an option, that works exactly the same as I had expected with original syntax.

they do this to a lot of things though a lot of common commands end up being an alias to a powershell command with a specific option set that doesn’t always line up

oh great I’m sure the training for this will not result in a bunch of things getting “reviewed” and no one being responsible for mistakes at all…

honestly any insect that primarily feeds on blood would be good to go.

• mosquitoes
• bed bugs
• tics
• fleas

screw all of those things

agree with one and two and younger me would have agreed with your third point but I think I don’t anymore.

yes cut is the simpler and mostly functional tool you need for those tasks.

but it is just so common to need a slight tweak or to want to substitute something or to want to do a specific regex match or weird multi character delimiter or something and you can do it all easily in awk instead of having to pipe three extra times to do everything with the simplest tool.

honestly I got one of these and ended up going back to brushing my tongue. maybe I am like more thoroughly brushing my tongue than other people or something but it never was as clean from a tongue scraper as from brushing

basically a better newer Kinect for my kids. something that’d let them dance or play or see themselves in the game without a controller
