It breaks my heart to see American conservative toxicity rubbing off on Canada more and more as I age.
It feels like all I can do is warn my kids against the propaganda they'll face growing up, and hope things reverse course as Canadians become increasingly disenfranchised with the government to the south.
Some quotes that resonated with me:
In any previous era, the quality of a piece of work was a more or less reliable signal of the competence of the person who produced it. A novice essay read like a novice essay; novice code crashed in novice ways. AI has severed that relationship.
The skills of producing work and judging it were deliberately distinct, but accomplishing the work itself used to teach the judgment. The first skill now belongs, in large part, to the machines. The second still belongs to us, though fewer are bothering to acquire or utilize it.
The slowness was not a tax on the real work; the slowness was the real work. It was how the work got good, and how the people producing the work got good
The current generation of agentic systems is built around the premise that the human is the bottleneck — that the loop runs faster and cleaner without the awkward delay of someone reading what is about to happen and deciding whether it should. This is, in a great many cases, exactly backwards
We tried training our AI on real-world bike-lane-respecting telemetry, but there just wasn't enough data!
Downvote and move on. I'm trying to figure out why so many people are actively campaigning against this artist.
I get what you're saying. To me, this reads like someone who takes pride in forming assumptions (and biases) about a team before speaking to any of its members. A fun game for them, perhaps, but less fun for the folks they are trying to pigeonhole.
I guess there's a fine line between collecting information to have a productive, data-driven conversation, and doing it to avoid having a conversation entirely.
Also seems like they're more interested in connecting with the boss than the developers themselves, which is probably something you need to do as a contractor, but yeah, it does alienate other developers.
Some tricks I've used in the past when huge sets of episodes are scrambled or misnamed and you need to start from square one matching them:
I came to make sure grandson was mentioned. Their Soundcloud tagline is something like "the soundtrack to your revolution".
Seems like it's actually gone bad :(
My phone decided my 128GB SD card is corrupt today, so no photos for you. Reminder to back up your mobile!
Inside Number 9. I don't hear much talk about it, but for me, it's up there with Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, etc. for a series of short stories with twists.
I for one can't browse the steam store without the steamdb plugin anymore, since it shows not only the current sale price, but the price history.
This will pair nicely with that.
