You know…morons.

This thread is calling out a legitimate problem, but things aren’t that bad.

Last year the market grew by 9%. This year it is projected to shrink by 11%. That’s huge, but not 80-90%.

Pycharm with Claude running in a separate terminal works well for me. I tried Antigravity a while ago, until a previous update broke my workflow.

My use-case focuses on finding and organizing information. I do have a bunch of python and bash scripts, but they’re all quite short.

I used fear/anxiety. Adderall works much better, and I have greatly reduced blood pressure.

Why does “piece of crap” have racist undertones?

Well, by comparison to the current administration. I would much rather have the shrub back.

Came here to say this.

The plugins for Obsidian are much more useful. I think that Joplin is more like a simpler version of Obsidian. Both are solid choices, and both work well paired with a command-line LLM.

Same here, except I never got very deep in Notion, and tried Amplenote as well before settling on Obsidian.

I just block people who hurl unprovoked insults.

… Because

A sweeping win for New Mexico could energize Torrez and thousands of other plaintiffs currently pursuing cases against tech companies. Conversely, a limited order could be a significant blow. The outcome won’t directly impact other cases, but it will almost certainly color negotiations over potential settlements

The sandman, the brakeman, and me by Monsters of Folk

They’re a super group of Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), M Ward, and Jim James (My Morning Jacket). They only did one album, but it’s brilliant.

Yes. I have one, and I love it. It’s a Periboard-535DL.

Bottles and Bones, Califone What Sara Said, Death Cab for Cutie Fake Plastic Trees, Radiohead

Those come to mind as great, “poetry with music” songs, but there are many more.

Resistance is futile!

Unless you’re one of those 10%.

I wasn’t being disingenuous and I just validated my assumptions.

The cost of compute per million instructions has continued to decrease. The cost of storage on HDD has also continued to decrease, albeit more slowly. The cost of NAND storage has increased due to the supply crunch that Google helped create. Average pay at Google has gone up 5% over the past two years, but this is offset at least in part by mass layoffs. License fees for music have remained stagnant.

While a lot of those things are arguable one way or another, depending on whose numbers you look at and what specific details you want to focus on, one thing is not. Google’s profits have nearly doubled in the past 3 years. There is no reason for a price increase beyond corporate greed.

I I received the email today telling me that they were going to raise the price of my family plan by $4 per month. I’m guessing that their costs have not increased in any way, and probably have decreased. I assume it’s just another squeeze tactic from the company that used to not be evil.

This is a good answer. AI tools won’t make someone who has not yet developed programming skills into a good programmer. For someone who has a good grasp of implementation patterns and the toolkit for a given tech stack, they can speed things up by putting you into the role of a senior programmer reviewing code from multiple newbies.

I’m finding that for it to work well, you have to split things up into very small pieces. You also have to really own your AI automation prompts and scripts. You can’t just copy what some YouTuber did and expect it to work well in your environment.

In most measurable ways, it was much worse. Crime, mortality, institutionalized racism, war, etc. It looks worse now because every action and word by the people considered newsworthy is magnified and judged by thousands of opinions, many of which originate in troll farms, and many which are intended to be deliberately divisive.

Yes, the US government is infested with fascists. Yes, wealth inequality is worse than it ever was. These are real problems, and worse than they ever were before. (Though I wonder sometimes about how much damage was done by Reagan, and whether denying basic government protections to the poor was just more acceptable then.)

It looks AI-generated to me.
