Your role is to emulate a program that iterates over all URLs that fit this regex…

Doesn’t matter. They want to normalize employee and customer experience. Think I’ll go with the anecdotes of my friends who managed retail locations for big box stores rather than an HN rando with a confrontational rhetorical style, as if projection is correctness

Your experience is a reflection of their desire to normalize rather than customize

Data is only useful to a point. Generate all the stats you want. Millions of other stats attenuate the usefulness of any given stat, except for those of broad application. Getting super granular is programming equivalent of bike shedding and yak shaving.

CVS leadership are influenced by BS assertions of data scientists. Ground truth doesn’t matter to upper management living across the globe from the problem.

Onsite management is handed a recipe to implement, told someone is showing up to install locks in everything to, not because a specific store might need it but to normalize business operations with their paranoia.

Forgot re-creation/preservstion of existing content I paid for by translating footage into physics, color, and geometry models, map them to my clients render pipeline. Level 1-1 of New Super Mario Bros is pretty much completely translated. No copyright problems if I don’t distribute it :)

Like I said, most of my money is wfh design of branded gadgets. Not really the sort to care about the reach of others; if content industry collapses because people don’t need to spend money on it, meh. More interested in advancing computing. Pour money into R&D of organic computers, rather than web apps running on the same old gear with more HP under the hood. yawn

I want bioengineered kaiju sized dogs and drug glands that stoke hallucination I’m on another planet.

Humanity is a generational cup and string. Time to snip the 1900s loose.

Personalized metaspaces, game worlds, content without paying a rent seeker copyright holder.

Education and research without gatekeepers in academia and industry complaining about their book sales or prestige titles being obsoleted

Whole lot of uses cases that break us out of having to kowtow to experts who were merely born before us trying to monopolize exploration of science and technology

To that end I’m working on a GPU accelerated client backed by local AI, with NERFs and Gaussian splatting built in.

The upside to being an EE with MSc in math; most of my money comes from engineering real things. I don’t have skin in the cloud CRUD app/API game and don’t see a reason to spend money propping up middle men who, given my skills and abilities, don’t add value

Programmers can go explore syntax art in their parent’s basement again. Tired of 1970s semantics and everyone with a DSL thinking that’s the best thing to happen to computing as a field of inquiry ever.

Like all industries big tech is monopolized by aging rent seekers. Disrupt by divesting from it is my play now.

Given Hollywood edits together a bunch of 5-10 second sequences, game over once planning AI that can compose minutes of 5-10 second sequences matures.

Bots gonna bot. So far they’ve not caught any of mine I setup this last year.

Each bot sticks to a context, simulates some time wasting doom scrolling at random to look human, posts affiliate links otherwise with AI generating the message payload in response to a Tweet by its mark.

I love how easy the internet made it to fleece potato brains

Disbelief in specific magical thinking of ancient people and belief in the magical thinking of ancient peoples are not all that similar.

Though I see how they can look that way when you intentionally omit details about the claims of either side, as human discourse is reduced to Tweet size comments of negligible value.
