Mother of god.

Isn’t radicle attached to some crypto nonsense?

Edit: I felt bad saying this and then not confirming it, so here you go: https//x.com/radicle/status/1483497327545495555 (I also feel bad about linking to that cesspool, but that’s where the announcement was).

Plus GitHub will now be reporting directly to MS’s AI division.

My dude, I worked home renovations for many years. Nice try to discredit me rather than my argument though.

I’m not an expert on it, I’ve only watched a few videos on it, but from what I’ve seen they add structural elements between the layers at certain points which act like rebar.

There’s no framing of the walls, but they do set up scaffolds to support overhangs (because you can’t print onto nothing)

I mean, “to 3d print a wall” is a massive, bordering on disingenuous, understatement of what’s happening there. They’re replacing all of the construction work of framing and finishing all of the walls of the house, interior and exterior, plus attaching them and insulating them, with a single step.

My point is if you want to make a good argument against LLMs, your metaphor should not have such an easy argument against it at the ready.

I hate the simulated intelligence nonsense at least as much as you, but you should probably know about this if you’re saying you can’t 3d print a house: https://youtu.be/vL2KoMNzGTo

I mean it is a train wreck of a movie but I also very much enjoy it.

The 1993 SMB movie was delightfully awful.

It sure does feel like that.

They aren’t as good as the original by any means, but I also enjoyed all three.

The first one was mind blowing, and the next two were good in their own right.

That fucking ballroom is proof to me that he doesn’t plan on leaving at the end of this term.

There is no way that selfish greedy fuck would spend the money on this if he didn’t think he would be around to use it for a long time.

Also yes.

I worked Bay Area tech as a dev for several years; the thing they are really really good at is manipulating young people (mostly men, really) into thinking that if they aren’t living work then they are bad people. All of your free time should be spend thinking about work, building things for work, “leveling up” your skills to be better at work. Family and friends are not important, only work. The gaslighting and emotional manipulation is cult-like.

I once had the founder of the startup I was working for tell me that he had no idea I cared about the company after I gave a presentation on how we could pivot our product to be more effective. He then asked how he could get more of my time for the company. I was working 60-80 hour weeks already.

I’m an EM now and those experiences shaped how I run my team: work is work, not your life. You do your work so that you can afford to do the things you actually care about, and that is how it should be.

2. Final Fantasy 7
3. Expedition 33

This is confirmation bias, you know it’s possible so you’re discounting downsides.

Yes, a connector can fit in the watch, but the internal footprint of the connector is comparatively huge. All the other components of the watch would need to be designed to fit around a large connector essentially directly in the middle of the device internals.

If that’s really important to you, more power to you. I don’t have an issue with it existing. I do have a bit of a problem with pretending that compromises aren’t being made in features to accommodate it.

A standardized magnetic pogo pin connector would meet my needs quite a bit better, personally.

Just stay out of the public schools and you’ll be fine.

So how much stock do you think this guy has in AI?

I think about this a lot.

Savagery.
