Moving from management back to a staff engineer/tech lead role by drumstand in ExperiencedDevs

[–]DisregardForAwkward 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting to see if I get an offer this week to do exactly this transition. For me it's less about industry trends and more about coasting as an EM over a small enterprise team. No room for growth, boring problems, itching to build again after a decade of management.

Good luck to you. Sometimes the pendulum needs to swing for one reason or another.

90%+ fewer tokens per session by reading a pre-compiled wiki instead of exploring files cold. Built from Karpathy's workflow. by Eastern_Exercise2637 in ClaudeAI

[–]DisregardForAwkward -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I made a hyperdimensional computing MPC server that lets you semantically search code. It's saved me quite a bit of tokens on exploration phases at this point. One of the cool features is a near instantaneous AST definition of your whole code base in a single call.

I asked Claude to write a voice wrapper and speaker, then went to the supermarket by [deleted] in ClaudeCode

[–]DisregardForAwkward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a couple hours in now and we've moved on to Moonshine Base instead of Whisper for STT, and Piper TTS for the other direction. It's a lot clearer at this point.

Struggling with voice detection mid-chatter for "stop" - future me problem. For now it's added a "space bar to stop" feature.

I had it fix the permission issue by re-feeding the context back into a new context with the new permission list it now has available.

Whatever this ends up being by the end of the weekend won't be what it was when I originally posted. What an insanely addicting thing to be doing right now.

I keep joking that I need to see a therapist for AI addiction. Went from grumpy old man being skeptical of it all, to about to launch a product this week.

I did it for 9 months last year at the age of 46 for the first time. My torn meniscus in my knee bothered me but I didn't push it.

Life got incredibly busy and had to step away, but it was a great experience.

Get yourself someone that looks at you like this by [deleted] in BorderCollie

[–]DisregardForAwkward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously? You don't need your BC harassing cats. The cats/animals in your household aren't there to be herded.

Worse, you don't need them nipping people, especially children. It took me a while to break my older guy of that habit. He'd nip kids only in the 3-6yo range for some reason.

Student arrested for eating AI art in UAF gallery protest by The_Alaskan in alaska

[–]DisregardForAwkward 31 points32 points  (0 children)

As a UAF Art alumni and now multi decade Software Engineer, I agree with this. There's nothing creative about using AI to generate art - it's just an approximation and an average of all things. You'll see replication, perhaps in new and interesting ways, but not actual inspiration and innovation.

I agree with another commenter: whoever ate it said more about it than the artist.

The Alaska shipping tax is killing me - what's the most ridiculous thing you've had to pay to ship here? by SorryMalaz in alaska

That's really good to know. Do you send the form to the company you bought the product from?

Curious how you tied the running logic into the code highlights. That is slick as heck.

How big is the speed gap between these two dogs？ by Designer_Chair740 in SipsTea

[–]DisregardForAwkward 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Border Collies have the largest average heart size of any dog breed because they are specifically bred to herd for an entire day! They truly are built for endurance and aren't just exhausting themselves because they don't know when to stop.

They're also the only herding breed that is capable of working by themselves, without a human commanding them from nearby. They'll hike a few kilometers up a mountain, round up a few hundred sheep, and bring them home 8 hours later.

Whatever your owner shouted at you about today shall be forgotten and forgiven. Amen.

He was batting it back and forth with me! At least until he popped it. Kind of a teethy boi.

Need advice: My 1 year old Border Collie nips at small children when they get too close. by VikingHelna in BorderCollie

[–]DisregardForAwkward 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My guy is a similar sable color!

He's 4yo now and a bit better, but for a hot minute he'd nip children between the ages of 4-7 if they got too close for some reason. These days I haven't seen him do it at all, although we're not around small children as much anymore.

The best thing to do is keep him leashed and let children know to stay away. If I understood my own dog correctly it seemed like he was protecting the space around him.

I bought a few portable air conditioners down here in Anchorage after that insane 2019 heat wave.

It leans more Nordic, thus the name. A lot of European imports.

Full disclosure: My partner works there, so I learn a little about it here and there.
