So AI AMP....

Reading this, it sounds very like what Ingvar Kamprad did with IKEA - although the structure is slightly different, the intent feels the same.

I work at Inter IKEA, which is actually a franchisor - the structure is a family run foundation sitting at the top, below the group that owns the concept and value chain, then the retailer licence to hold a franchise (https://www.inter.ikea.com/en/this-is-inter-ikea-group/the-i...)

Basically medical science too. My wife was able to diagnose her own anemia that the doctors kept missing, and has since been able to have iron infusions.

The human doctors kept ignoring the signals, kept putting it down to 'diet' and 'exercise' (even though she does plenty of both)

7 years ago we got a Polish Hunting Spaniel, and did our first trip to Poland. Since then we've been back several times, and each time you really see the different - new and upgraded road, city buildings being renovated into new housing and commercial areas - also noticed the costs going up too.

But also you start to notice that definitely a lot of people who left Poland are coming back, and with that skills and new economic opportunities.

I think this is something we'll start to see which is something like a Mandela-Effect, but from LLM results. When we had deterministic search - everyone could see the same result, but now using LLMs knowledge becomes a training and seeding issue. Two people can confidently be given completely different information, so in both cases perceived as true.

If this wasn't a tech CEO, we'd probably be looking at an active shooter/bomber situation

Played this and Rick Dangerous 2 a lot on the Amiga 500, fun game.

I think the risk is this; when non-technical users who've never shipped software in their life can dictate to a machine and get "instant results" it going to bring back managers not understanding that you don't just ship code. Especially these days where one bad dependency can mean downtime or worse.

We travelled Peru by bus for the majority of our trip (only at the end taking the plane from Cusco to Lima at the end). Amazing way to see the country

FWIW I tried it with the VSCode preview in two monorepos we have - one frontend and one backend GraphQL servers with complex types - absolutely no issues (except one breaking change in tsconfig with baseUrl being removed) and fast compile times.

1M Pixel was at least art

Second Life - at least you can play around virtually in that 'real estate'

This? Just seems like you get a jpeg.

Stop giving this man air to talk absolute bullshit

Yesterday I had a pivotal moment where I realised - I've allowed myself to become lobotomised by relying too much on AI agents. I wrote about it - maybe others are feeling like this too?

Reminds me of the extension I released 16 years ago to remove James Corden from the web https://thenextweb.com/news/shaved-bieber-becomes-a-meme-rem...

In 1999/2000 I worked on my own Thief levels using the dromed editor - it was both really fun to work with, and utterly frustrating - in a time before open source engines - there were so many small annoying bugs in the editor that would cause it to crash, so you SAVED often and even learned to version files as it was easy to screw up.

But the geometry that could be created was stunning - from courtyards to cathedrals, levels allowed clever use of light and shadow.

Well... Scott Adams was on Art Bell Coast to Coast AM a few times, so that tracks.

I'm still on Sequoia, almost 100% of the reason is how bad OSX26 looks. There's absolutely nothing compelling me to update right now

https://teskooano.space - mostly it's just a learning exercise in building a 3D engine and simulation, but also has a lot of work around custom UI - the source is available on GitHub.

His one technical skill is building PowerPoint decks...

Why? It's his website, he can put what he likes on it. Your rational is...?

This is something that actually drives me a way from using "a thing" - that some team post something "open source" - but in reality it's a product and there's a pricing tab on the website.

I think we've overloaded the term for sure. I'd prefer honesty - "hey we have a new product/service/platform! We've opened up our customer tooling source code and made it free and available for anyone to contribute too"

To me releasing open-source to specifically try get people to sign up to a paid product is a sales tool.

Looks like the SSL is incorrectly deployed as I'm getting a net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID that is refusing any access

Yes? At least this is what I've found. The only major social media account I have now is my Mastodon account. Not using X/BlueSky/Threads - I find I have more time to myself - my book count this last year has gone from near-zero to at least one book a month now.

Damn, I did not have "Ashton Kutcher destroys European liberty" on my bingo card

This - I've been very honest with my manager that I won't play "the game" in this organisation - I don't really have to, there is plenty for staff engineers to tackle to have a long career without the yoke of management.

This article resonated a lot with me - I have a 25+ year career and until my most recent role I'd usually switch companies every 2 years.

My current company I'm now on year 4, and 3rd year leading a team building an internal platform for the business - for me it is a dream role - management mostly stay out the way, strategy comes from top down but our team make all the decisions, and after a slow start it's now paying off with several teams using us and helping drive through real requirements, and not the imagined ones from a few execs.

This has lead to constant positive feedback from all of our 'customers' who would never have been able to consider running their own content delivery pipelines - we're solving their real problems. Regardless of any politics, this is what gives me the energy to turn up every day.

I've found glasses like these work well (https://www.amazon.nl/Antireflectie-Gepolariseerde-autorijde...) - if I drive in Germany I can't do without them - they really help block the glare without making it unsafe to drive.

I'm a 44 year old man and I would love this - for years I've tried to dabble with music with much lack of success - but this looks really fun to play with. Great job.

This explains why John Titor needed to come back for those IBM parts

For some reason it shows half the text in English and half in Dutch
