I’ve had success with:

  • dumping email threads into it to generate user stories,
  • generating requirements documentation templates so that everyone has to fill out the exact details needed to make the project a success
  • generating quick one-off scripts
  • suggesting a consistent way to refactor a block of code (I’m not crazy enough to let it actually do all the refactoring)
  • summarize the work done for a slide deck and generate appropriate infographics

Essentially, all the stuff that I’d need to review anyway, but use of AI means that actually generating the content can be done in a consistent manner that I don’t have to think about. I don’t let it create anything, just transform things in blocks that I can quickly review for correctness and appropriateness. Kind of like getting a junior programmer to do something for me.

“…on display.”

The crazy is still there; the culture just expresses it differently.

Have you spent much time in Arizona?

Yeah; the lawsuit actually is about discriminatory stops.

Then Trump will grab him on the way out.

Security isn’t the size of the app, it’s how you use it :)

Well, browse Google below the SEO dreck. Then follow the links.

Or, find some niche hobby site and follow its links.

Branch out from the world wide web… I still visit Hotline sites, the odd Gopher server, and other protocols of yesteryear.

Browse a few sites in the wayback engine and find linked sites that still exist there.

Or, go a totally different route and browse Tor or I2P.

How come this logic doesn’t hold water for people who live in poor neighborhoods or areas with gang activity? Or for migrant workers from Mexico?

That means you need to get out more.

The old Internet is still out there; it’s just that it is as flaky and hard to navigate as it always has been.

The “modern” Internet is just a select number of services that send each other traffic and run by the algorithm.

Most of the Internet I use in my spare time is stuff that’s been around since the 90s and still has about the same number of users it had then. Some of it is even indexed by search engines.

I wholeheartedly agree.

There are better emotions to feed, and they don’t tend to result in rejection.

“Black pill” is a different thing from not dating.

I never dated, just spent time with people who shared my interests. Eventually, I and one of the people who I shared interests with realized that we were often doing so exclusive of other people.

We essentially went from just living our lives to everyone seeing us as a couple, eventually us included.

Pursuing dating for the emotional high will let you down every time. Being real about who you are and what drives you, and learning to have healthy give and take relationships that don’t involve unrealistic expectations means you’ll end up with a more fulfilling life.

Meanwhile, some places have been trying out 4-day 8 hour days, and have found that they retain competent staff who have fewer accidents and make fewer errors, increasing company productivity while reducing wage spend.

Fully closing some streets to vehicle traffic also helps. It not only reduces collisions but also increases vehicle throughput.

The change in Vancouver is specifically aimed at minor streets though, where other traffic calming measures are usually already in place. And the reduced speed is a climate measure more than a safety measure.
