Wait what? US population is 345 millions. How do you even celebrate Halloween that requires three pumpkins per person? Plenty of people don’t even have a porch.

I mean what is the progesterone saying

Musk rambles:

It’s a difficult thing to quantify exactly. I certainly feel comfortable saying that it is getting ten times better per year. Four years from now, that would mean ten thousand times better. Maybe a hundred thousand.

By better he means costlier.

So I went on Wikipedia and apparently Ornithogalum adseptentrionesvergentulum and its genus Ornithogalum are part of the Asparagaceae family which is known as the asparagus family, not to be confused with the Asparagus genus, of which it is but a subset. Gotta love when they fuck with people like that.

No it’s not.

The Archangel of Architecture has risen to smite this blasphemous construction out of existence.

Pick GDP, manufacturing output or whatever metric and look it up: Russia is not even close to the US. China is the one playing in the same league as the Americans.

As for open source being dominated by the US, the stats for Linux development don't give that portrait at all.

I see, thanks for the clarification. That’s an unfortunate shift.

 

So nocturnal

 

I’m a dev. I’ve been for a while. My boss does a lot technology watch. He brings in a lot of cool ideas and information. He’s down to earth. Cool guy. I like him, but he’s now convinced that AI LLMs are about to swallow the world and the pressure to inject this stuff everywhere in our org is driving me nuts.

I enjoy every part of making software, from discussing with the clients and the future users to coding to deployment. I am NOT excited at the prospect of transitioning from designing an architecture and coding it to ChatGPT prompting. This sort of black box magic irks me to no end. Nobody understands it! I don’t want to read yet another article about how an AI enthusiast is baffled at how good an LLM is at coding. Why are they baffled? They have "AI" twelves times in their bio! If they don’t understand it who does?!

I’ve based twenty years of career on being attentive, inquisitive, creative and thorough. By now, in-depth understanding of my tools and more importantly of my work is basically an urge.

Maybe I’m just feeling threatened, or turning into "old man yells at cloud". If you ask me I’m mostly worried about my field becoming uninteresting. Anyways, that was the rant. TGIF, tomorrow I touch grass.

 

I'm not surprised of their reaction to the new law C-18, but I'm pretty worried of its impact on the information reaching citizens and democracy.

 

I heard about this today. I thought no animal could be as silly as humans but here you go.

 

that chaos

 

Love their last album. The kind of music that draws power from vulnerability.
