wtfffff that gave me sinister chills. Right up the spine. Wow!

This will change when out of control billing gets noticed. Then us devs will, I presume, get token rations.

I can see my new Thursday afternoon "oh chit" moment being that I didn't complete my weekly task because i torched all of those tokens M-W doing task/ticket grooming using the hot hot model instead of the dodo model with jira mcp connector :D

I'm reading something a bit strange and wonderful: The mountain in the sea by Ray Naylor -- a fictional peek at octopus intelligence.

Question for some of y'all: Those who are listing 3 or more (sometimes way more!) books -- do you read them in parallel? I'm a dyed-in-the-wool serial book monogamist and can't fathom having like 8 or 10 storylines in my head at once.

No judgement, just curious and somewhat awed :)

What happens if the momentum of us AI-addled outlives the tribal knowledge on the sidelines?

I genuinely fear your scenario -- "AI was good enough for long enough to let the artisans with the knowledge die off" -- now it's idiocracy. :)

Although is this different than people who know how to build and operate a steam engine? I am not certain.

I'm a recent transplant. I really like it here.

Voting for flock cameras right now though? That seems impossibly tone deaf to me.

I would have thought the politico playbook would be to stay quiet on the issue, then sneakily swap in a flock alternative AI camera company while loudly heralding how awesome you are for removing the flock menace. Boiled frogs applaud. On to the next 15 seconds of outrage (datacenters I assume :) )

I don't need a degree in sociology to want the dude who broke into my car removed from society.

If he finds the experience improving, so much the better, but it is not my primary concern.

I applied the article's premise, irrespective of the excuses proffered: "failing to provide a public benefit"

I'm guessing Oakland PD is sitting up a little straighter today.

This comment thread has made me and my LanTronix Spider feel super old. :D

Somewhere, deep in a storage tote, a UW SCSI cable I paid 50 bucks for at Fry's shows a glimmer of hope.

We have owned two. Trouble-free EV and trouble-free motor. The over-engineered little electrical actuators (for trunk, for gas-door opener) were our maintenance costs. The US only offers a single, dreadful tire in the correct size (Bridgestone Ecopia), which is the true achilles heel of the thing. The tiny tires seem to be made of discarded twix wrappers, are super expensive, and get destroyed by potholes and road hazards.

They're lovely little city bugs and just a pleasant place to be inside.

Because mayonnaise can never be load bearing?

My EQS has carplay and android auto, and I am a staunch google maps user. That said, I use the MBUX mapping most of the time. It does a good job -- and not just long drives where I need the EV charger logic -- day to day, it's plenty fine.

I don't see the blast. The endless non-job-related spam from "who wants to be hired?" posts is real, though, and actually creepy IMO. Looking at you today, pivotpaper.us

Apparently I am not on reddit enough, since I have no idea what a snowclone is.

I also enjoy Seinfeld and I have never 'got' McSweeneys. I just assumed I was a philistine to that brand of... comedy. :)

My gh actions were straightforward and moved to forgejo runners with zero drama.

can we not?

I can't tell if I've just been in the bay area too long or what, but honestly, funerals could stand to be disrupted :) They could be better.

RIP Tim.

Really? when you hear "steam" you think "the pioneers in exposing underage kids to gambling" ?

I can't even picture gaben with a wispy moustache to twist evilly. I think that would look ridiculous on him. :)

Your "bad guys" are my "people are apparently and inexplicably mad that steam doesn't do their parenting for them" guys.

As a Joe Piston, the starlink pricing constant-whipsaw has been really annoying.

I love the tech. It's truly game-changing. And there is no competitor right now.

I bought my mini dish for $400 or so. I've paid $250/mo, $65/mo, $250/mo again, now $200/mo, and on standby for $5/mo and now $10/mo. Don't get me started on the speed-limit and bandwidth-metering games they've played along the way.

I literally have no idea from month to month what the thing will cost. It's still awesome. But there are thousands of butthurt pilots who bought the dish at 65/mo (and many made 100W PD power upgrades, self included, for another few hundred) and got raised to 250/mo immediately.

It's not so much the cost anymore as the principle of a completely unhinged vendor. Bezos' version will have a bunch of ready buyers if he can stick to a price for longer than a Ketamine high.

This title could have stopped at the fourth word.

That Eggenfellner dude on zuckbook has been spamming a continuous stream of his dream twin highwing and it looks nice. I hate his spam but love his mockups, I want it to be more than a paper airplane so badly. :)

:) Baron. some 300hp effective little turbines with non-ridiculous fuel burn would be a "shut up and take my money" moment for me.

Calling my airplane a MAGA airplane is a good way to get my wife to argue for a boat instead. :)

I actually hope the turbotech holds up under actual use. I'd love to toss my IO-550Cs for Jet-A.

This is my experience too. In our auto claim, the dealership expressed relief that we had "US PayPay" for our insurer. No (or less) nickel and diming apparently and smooth payment.

I have had VASTLY better free health coverage (OHP, Portland OR via Providence) than the current Kaiser dreck I and employer pay significant sums for.

Healthcare is not a flex, and it my experiences on the west coast, it's an inverse correlation to wealth. :/

I share your take, but I think from the other side of the coin -- I am frequently finding interesting topics [flagged] by the time I click through, and it's mildly infuriating.

I feel like I have mourned the death of MSPub at least once before.

I've noticed myself and several colleagues have all taken to making little SaaS's for sport -- I'm not sure WHY we've all done that, but it's totally a thing.

Maybe if there was a monthly "Show us your (project/vibe/slop)" thread, it would provide a centralized spot for it all, then you could ignore it, once, at leisure, instead of the filters working overtime. :)
