My idiot cat loves vacuums. Dives in front if them like they’re security taking a bullet for some VIP.

She wants to get vacuumed. Makes hair management pretty easy since she’ll enthusiastically let us vacuum the source.

That is roughly the premise of Beavis and Butthead

I actually think it’s morally correct to strip stone toss or Scott Adam’s names from thier works.

The minute I saw his squint I just instinctively got into a staring contest. Didn’t read the words. Last frame, eyes are closed. I won.

Great comic. No idea what it was about.

To refine that even further, he doesn’t appear to imply that the dev isn’t WORKING hard enough, only that they’re not being OPTIMALLY PRODUCTIVE.

What he’s trying to do, really is float and normalize the concept of baking tokens into HR math in terms of a “golden ratio”… which happens to be 2:1.

So, when a company goes all in on ai, and they cut thier workforce in half, they’ll need to add in 50% for tokens. 50% of the original staff, at a new 150% cost, puts the company at 75% pre ai workforce cost. This is the “guidelines” they’re trying to normalize.

Id never seen this image before but it’s the clearest and most intuitive illustration of the effect I’ve seen.

“Brigading” implies off-channel coordination. I don’t think that’s really what you’re suggesting is happening here.

Not IT, but my dad said they lost a chemical engineering hire over this once, like 25 years ago.

In pretty much the opposite direction, my hill is that “right”,“wrong”, “blameworthiness” and “praiseworthyness” are concepts that people are in general allergic to critical thought towards, and they are EXACTLY the concepts that people should be approaching in order to have a better life and to make a better world.

Bingo.

Maybe not outright fired, but absolutely open them up to career limits based on what you described.

All of Amazon’s code undergoes code reviews already. Accepting a PR is already spiritually a sign off.

This is just explicitly a threat, explicitly trying to find someone to hold accountable because you can’t hold ai accountable. What are they gonna do, fire the ai? Sign here to be the fall guy. Fuck off.

When people type 70wpm andit it requires thier full attention, it seems intuitive that this is a bottleneck. I just don’t believe that’s the typical state of affairs for most devs. Most management, sure.

I’m not saying there aren’t some code that get written that is braindead simple and have a lot of keystrokes (builders come to mind) but modern IDEs will generate them for you. We already had a plethora of deterministic code generation tools at our fingertips.

After overshooting and dinging the meat cooler, popping my 3 year old out of the cart and me squatting down to have a heart-to-heart:

"Look, buddy, I’m not blaming you. You’re still learning. We learn every day.

But the navigator is a crucial role here. I need you to to call out the distance and sharpness of the turns so that I as the driver can execute the maneuvers"

Him, nodding in agreement “Executing the maneuvers”

“That’s right buddy. We’ll work on it. What’s next on the list?”

“Beers for the boys”

“That’s right, buddy.”

I like the project, but it seems like as soon as buddy got access to real-time e-ink he just never looked back.

As well, I get the UI appeal of negative space, but my god it costs a fortune in e-ink.

As everyone is noting here, this project shows a pattern of “money is no object” in every decision made.

That doesn’t mean it has to be, though. My gut tells me you could slash the cost in (at least) half while retaining like 90% of the utility.

So…

Everyone ok with “Poochie”?

I think you can use home kit ones locally… which really broadens your options

It’s absolutely mind boggling to me.

Like, even if you accept the premise.

Like, let’s riff. Let’s “yes AND” this.

Jesus comes back. He descends from the sky, bathing in a heavenly glow. Lands himself right on the deck of the Ford.

“Hey guys, you did it. I’m here. What’s up?”

“Jesus, Lord and Savior, we’ve done your work.”

“Ah, this vessel is one of mercy and service… feeding the hungry, healing the sick?”

“Uh, no, it’s a weapons platform. We just blew up a school full of kids, actually”

“…”

“Also to build this ship a ton of money was spent and a bunch of kids are hungry and homeless and we could have helped them but we didn’t”

“…”

Like… motherfucker. If there is exactly one moment of your life that you’re praying Jesus DOESN’T come back, this should be it.

The difference between now and 18 months ago is that the shape of the dems had already formed. The groups on the different tracks were already tied down.

Who is the 2028 candidate?

There is time now to pressure the dems to pull Palestine off thier leg of the track.

It isn’t the trolly problem… yet.

Because I don’t understand correlation vs causation, I can only conclude that the monetization of X caused a steep decline in knife violence

This hits.

I stepped into a similar implementation. Took like 6 months and 10 people to support…
