I'm not sure. I run a homelab tailscale/k3s setup with gitops, dozens of services, VMs, backups, etc, all vibed by claude, and works just fine. Didn't write a single line of code for this. I don't know kubernetes and never will.

Even 30 is quite enviable. I can only do focused deep work for 2-3 hours per day at most, the rest is simulating work to get paid - meetings, emails, etc, something you barely need to pay attention to.

I hate hearing about security because I saw orgs decimated by paranoid (and incompetent) security to such degree that nothing could be done there and I had to look for a new job.

Look cool! This might turn out to be a really nice tool to use when teaching SQL to my students. If you ever consider an educational license, of course.

I wonder how was it first discovered how beaver anal glands taste like.

Would love to join something like this in Brussels

This is a really interesting article, even though it seems a little biased towards the mother (which, post hoc, if absolutely fair). Would be very cool to see / read this from the position of the judge as the thing unraveled.

> you think you know what is or isn't other peoples problem.

I don’t think that at all. All I said was that if I absolve the driver of whatever responsibility he believes he has for me, then if something happens as I step out, it is indeed should not be his problem, legally speaking. He might not like it, of course - which is not my problem, to be honest.

edit: this is all linguistics, however. The initial issue was that the driver is unable to open the door even if we both assess the risk as negligible. Sure, he might not want me to suicide jump from his bus onto a highway - even if I believe I have the theoretical right to do that - but that is not the situation we're in. The point was that I should be able to say it's ok, looks safe, I accept the risk if something happens.

If your point is that the absurdity goes all the way down, I won't disagree.

I see it like this:

Me: I'd like to get out here please.

Driver: But it can be dangerous...

Me: Noted. Good thing that is not your problem.

And when I am hit by a camel while departing the bus, that is my problem also. But of course, most cultures do not support this line of reasoning - you need to be taken care of weather you like it or not. This approach is well tolerated by most people, but saddens and irritates people like me.

> and it spit out this 300 line response. Can you read it for me and see if it’s right?

If I get a request like this on a day when I don't feel sufficiently quixotic, I say sure and just put it through an LLM myself - if they don't bother to re-read it, why should I? This does not have a great promise for a future of work, of course. Also, in my teams, I explicitly tell people not to do that.

But how is that possible? How can one survive without income barring homelessness, begging, prostitution, and other not so utopian options?

That was quite a while ago. I can't recall exactly anymore, but the yearly battery cost was probably indeed quite low, ~20 euro maybe? They just didn't fine people often enough.

I mean that if fine / E[N_f] < battery_cost / E[N_b], where E[N_] is an expected number of rides before a fine / battery expire, then I save money per ride. In your example, you just pick the values such that the relation becomes '>'.

Until the tragedy of the commons kicks in.

I lived in a city where police can fine you for biking in the night without the lights on, but police catches people so rarely that, per ride, the mathematical expectation of a fine was lower than the cost of batteries.

AI might write a report in 30 seconds, but the suggestion box will be emptied at the same speed as in 1960s.

I see this as a balance between effort and impact. I don't know anything about politics - maybe this is how it should work - but I do know corporate IT bureaucracy. In many cases, the activation energy required to move the needle on rather trivial things just isn't worth the effor; so you look for workarounds, forgotten corners of the infra, or other rogue ways to actually do stuff. When an IT department says to me - great idea, formalize these 20 pages of requirements, death by powerpoint style, and put it in our suggestion box - I just pass on that. I suspect politics is even worse than the run of the mill corporate IT, and many people feel the same in regards to politics.

Honestly, given how much claude-based prose I was recently reading, I am worried I will soon begin to write in this style naturally.

Healthier - perhaps, although I do prefer when my dealers use the same product they sell to me.

I was a manager of 12 for several months and that was really difficult. I got a severe burnout, even though I had no IC responsibilities. I cannot imagine how could I dedicate enough time to my team if I did.

> Other languages draw those boundaries in different places. For example, in Russian, light blue and dark blue are separate basic color terms (goluboy vs. siniy), so asking a Russian speaker to collapse those into a single category would feel just as wrong as collapsing orange into red or yellow does to us.

I don't know. I am a russian speaker and for me light blue (goluboy) is simply a type of blue.

Scandinavian cultures are not uniform also. Danes can be very direct; Swedes - not so much.

What is reasonable hardware in your case? Doesn’t this model require 50+ Gb vram?

I probably wasn’t clear in the above comment - but what I tried to say is that the thread disincentivizes pro-Israel comments; I am pro-Israel as well and prefer not to engage.

Getting downvoted by all the emotional people here is not worth it; this thread does not welcome a polite discussion especially from the pro-Israel side. Like in any social media with a voting system (terrible idea, I might add), the vocal and active majority wants to disentivise the disagreement.

In Belgium you get 500/100 for 65 euro, which is even worse.

Gitea also, I think.

For some of us, there’s no uncertainty about other’s judgement - it’s just the op experience all the way down.
