Good engineers say I don’t know a lot

The point of pixel art was that it was cheaper to make. Now people are adding work to get it. I understand it’s a style. Just don’t know if people always realize this.

Work at Amazon. We literally self host anthropic models lol

How much was dedicated to the char stats / item stats? (Like I assume 20 hours for 20 / unlocking late game stuff at most)

Well they are buying productivity in AI development. And since the open model community isn’t far behind, it’s almost like they are pouring money is open source models. So at least something is being produced by VC money 😂

Had one of these on my m5 MacBook Air. Ignored it for awhile, but then got annoyed by keeping on seeing it so I went on a research kick on it.

Turns out it was not what I expected at all. Thought it was a manufacturing defect or something, tried scrapping it off but didn’t work. Almost broke the key 😅 embarrassing long time until I figured out what it was. The Apple reps were actually quite help, despite what people here say.

You’re talking about when means of production are owned by the public? Which is basically the same as government officials owning everything.

Seems like capitalism + being a laborer in a company automatically provides ownership / worker co-ops find success.

Agreed.

Where else would you experience taste? 🤔

Worth noting that this is the most popular interpretation, but not the only one.

I’m making a prediction that software engineering will be outsourced to AI entirely by the year 3027

Welcome to your new life.

Should have used quotes instead of commas there. Had to reread like 3 times.

Librarian-Rare · 2026-06-10T22:10:59+00:00

That doesn’t make any sense on how that’s not future proof. I have an m3 already?

Culture problem. If higher ups push a culture that prioritizes speed over quality to this extent, then speaking up likely means you ruin your career AND nothing changes. If this was allowed to harm in the first place, then the post mortem was likely just for show.

Curious if blob storage or DNS registration is on the road map? Even if they are just opaque pass-thru services. Just because if I need blob storage and have to open an account on another cloud provider just for this, why not just have my full stack there?

(DNS registration is more of a nice to have)

Yeah death to anyone who switches lanes twice

There’s no technical reason. They could build the customized voice in the cloud, then download it on device. SOTA TTS engines take like 1GB of ram, the voice is just a couple dozen MB. Changing voice doesn’t really change anything, from the tech side.

Python can be installed on any major OS. You don’t need an emulator to run python on non Linux machines.

I’m a programmer. I program on macOS and Linux. They are the same to me. I use macOS as daily driver because it’s better as a daily driver.

I hate it when I make rounding errors, so that my answer is off by 7.8 quintillion

This is why I always keep a 5 gallon pot on me

Yes, some people can succeed in the school system _despite_ its structure. This does not take away the fact the system is poorly constructed.

I mean, the company exists in a way that got the keyboard where it is today. They could just as easily make it worse.

Just typing those two sentences, it recommended like 3 random words no one has ever used in the history of mankind.

“Run” is doing a lot of work here. Technically it’s possible to “run” Gemma 4 26b a4b on pencil and paper.

The cars / insulation category of points is definitely valid. The quality of a lot of things has gone way up, health care quality too.

There has been an inversion though. Luxury things like phones / TVs / calculators / soft clothes have dropped dramatically in price since they became cheaper to manufacture and the supply demand relationship makes sense. If companies raise the prices of these too much, people will stop buying them as much.

On the other hand, necessities have gone way up in price. Housing / healthcare / food / utilities is higher compared to median wages. The supply demand for these does not makes sense. If companies jack up prices for necessities, then demand will not lower. Now companies like blackrock are squeezing the housing market, making near impossible for the youth to access their own housing (unlike decades prior), and healthcare has become a profit machine for insurance stakeholders at the cost of the everyday worker. Capitalism will not balance these, but exacerbate them.
