I use Firefox when I want disposable tabs / containers.
then majority of stuff - Safari. private window work stuff set to chrome - since I can resume the session unlike safari.

I build things.

then majority of stuff - Safari. private window work stuff set to chrome - since I can resume the session unlike safari.
there's coding - writing code to do something could be a game, utility to move files around. what have you. inherently the nature is a closed domain. AI is perfect here - the impact if something goes wrong is close to 0 or null.
then there's software engineering - which is both an art & science. u r dealing with rules of thumb. nothing is ever coded / written down. but a feel to whether something feels right or not. the domain is unbounded. the impact of something going wrong is catastrophic in all dimensions. coding is a delivery mechanism for software engineering. but not the actual work. using A.I here is useless.
but we keep having these pieces - I guess that's just shallow the industry is.
the tech might gets fixed later.
unfortunately - as you pointed out the outcome of the cases being a coin flip at the supreme court is the tragedy in all of this.
e.g for a lot of small business - they generate invoices - feed that into a RAG system. Then have an agent etc do follow ups. for agents then the smaller models are enough.

if you want hosted setups - FusionAuth, Stytch etc.
if you work in a mainstream language/framework - some excellent libraries eg in ruby authentication-zero, in js - BetterAuth, Django-all-auth.
for AWS as well - use their solutions where you don't need to read a lot of docs.
before it was Germany - but then nazism took hold. & researchers left starting from 1925/30. Slowly now Germany is recovering their place in science.
such a tragedy - with the dismantling of NIH etc - smart people might say, the U.S made progress without the NIH. The issue is the US was able to invite a lot of immigrants, then even raid those ones with blemished records e.g during Operation Paperclip.
100 years of work, going to waste. It will likely take another 100 years to recover.
e.g a lot of video game studios even the AAA ones could be co-ops. same as a lot of SAAS software companies. Linear - just announced a tender offer. I don't see a reason - why linear couldn't work as a co-op.
I wish everyone in our industry read 'No Silver Bullet, & Grug-brained Developer'.
a lot of complexity - is about what can we do now, with what we have.
the application Layer i.e having a good graph RAG & connecting it up together is the missing piece for most.
not only are they making it hard & unbearable for families of US citizens & PR holders to be together.
while at the same time - discouraging talent to come to the US at a crucial time when talent is at a premium due to A.I development.
last the backwards energy policy of banning renewable energy.
but in Main Street US - guess what the dentists are using ? guess what the auto-shop is using, the auto-dealer ?
mostly desktop software running on on-premise hardware, with some using cloud version but just being a small population overall. most of the software has no APIs, & no web version.
it's not sexy, nor fun. actual FDEs are needed for those industries, if anything A.I will unlock so much lost productivity.
Just like that we are witnessing an open burial. It's now in everyone's interest to keep the valuations in the 'A.I' economy as they're though it's apparent they're not justified.
whether it's the cost to develop models, cost of hardware, cost of serving ie inference.
more impactful work has to be done on the native legacy desktop app scene. that's where most of major companies big or small do their work.
agents automating websites is kinda easy. automating legacy desktop apps that's another issue though there's RPA.
one feature I can't wait from the DuckDb team are real-time materialized views.
just one launch base will transform the Louisiana economy.
but nice product overall - just like s2 lite.
those r the versions or the truth the gvt wants you to see.
city buildings at human scale i.e 4-5 stories like in most European cities. shops / retail etc at retail level. then offices / apartments occupy the other levels.
make places walkable & dense. then have public Parks etc. then shit like niteclubs etc - should be relegated to basement level. same as parking.
biofuels won't work. they take too much land and are inefficient in terms of producing.
politics vs reality. they could correct though by selling US treasuries - but that would make the world economy sneeze which might result in pneumonia.
then that the debt has been accelerating with either party in power - means this is a problem that won't be solved politically by the current actors i.e both parties.
From Google etc ...
