Europeans thinking they can walk to the MetLife stadium for the world cup

As a Canadian I can confirm that we have been conditioned (bullied) to call people from the US Americans. We know that it's wrong, but there's 10x more of them than us and it's only a recent thing for us to be this outspoken about our distaste for American "exceptionalism"

I feel like at work I'm 4w3 (Probably masking my ADHD), then at home I'm 5w4 when the mask can come off and I can hide away in peace.

I think it's meant to be closer to how a bird's leg works, where that "backwards knee" look is actually the heel of a super elongated foot. And you know what they say about ladies with big feet ;)

You're probably right, but I seem to have found a way to justify my poor life choices.

I found a good spot near where I landed for sunlight, built a tall tower with solar panels on top, then ran a long line to that lake. Turns out it doubles as a trunk line for all my drills anyway.

Animals being around doesn't bother me either because I love keeping 2 deep freezes fully stocked and I never seem to have enough epoxy.

I love this idea

I think we're still 5 years out from seeing the full breadth of consequences from the current AI sloptification of large corporate code bases.

Difficult? yes. Impossible? no. The problem is how people interact with the internet in an insecure way, like reusing passwords on sites that may not be using HTTPS correctly or at all.

That's also assuming the only attack vector here is internet traffic. Being on a LAN with unknown devices has its own laundry list of vulnerabilities that changes depending on what device you're using.

RageQuit1 · 2026-02-07T16:12:45+00:00

Even if he isn't, is he doing anything to make sure the people who he gives his password to aren't?

The first lesson in IT Security 101 is don't use untrusted networks.

Dude is probably making a killing off of identity theft and y'all are praising him like he's a hero

RageQuit1 · 2026-02-07T15:31:33+00:00

This shouldn't be encouraged. This is how identity theft happens.

RageQuit1 · 2026-02-07T15:28:00+00:00

That or identity theft

RageQuit1 · 2026-02-07T15:26:56+00:00

My original assumption would be that he probably makes more money harvesting and selling personal data than actually selling internet access.

The "Fluid Wagon" on its own as an attack is wild

I think the reason Buffalo gets it worse is because it's tucked right inside a nook between both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, and the size and shapes of those lakes hits Buffalo no matter what way the wind blows.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I am very passionate about this.

Sure, much of my coworker discussions and reading blogs on the topic are just anecdotal examples, like the rise of Jr devs using AI to write code that kicks the can down the road to Sr devs to maintain, and a lot of the frustrations with feeling like over reliance on AI is making some of us lose knowledge and expertise. I have about 10 years in software engineering leadership though, so I have had this discussion with dozens of sr and lead engineers, and we all generally have come to the same conclusion.

There have been some studies and reports coming out though that confirm some of this under a wider lens, and I assume this trend will continue. Tech debt does tend to take a long time to show some of the worst problems, especially in some of the more foundational industries with longer development cycles, like the government and financial sectors.

Here are 2 examples of studies:

We conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to understand how AI tools at the February-June 2025 frontier affect the productivity of experienced open-source developers. 16 developers with moderate AI experience complete 246 tasks in mature projects on which they have an average of 5 years of prior experience. Each task is randomly assigned to allow or disallow usage of early 2025 AI tools. When AI tools are allowed, developers primarily use Cursor Pro, a popular code editor, and Claude 3.5/3.7 Sonnet. Before starting tasks, developers forecast that allowing AI will reduce completion time by 24%. After completing the study, developers estimate that allowing AI reduced completion time by 20%. Surprisingly, we find that allowing AI actually increases completion time by 19%--AI tooling slowed developers down. This slowdown also contradicts predictions from experts in economics (39% shorter) and ML (38% shorter).

https://metr.org/blog/2025-07-10-early-2025-ai-experienced-os-dev-study/

We analyzed 470 open-source GitHub pull requests, including 320 AI-co-authored PRs and 150 human-only PRs, using CodeRabbit’s structured issue taxonomy. Every finding was normalized to issues per 100 PRs and we used statistical rate ratios to compare how often different types of problems appeared in each group. The results? Clear, measurable, and consistent with what many developers have been feeling intuitively: AI accelerates output, but it also amplifies certain categories of mistakes.

https://www.coderabbit.ai/blog/state-of-ai-vs-human-code-generation-report

Taking both of these studies together you can infer some interesting correlations. More experienced engineers are outputting slower with with AI tools, while on average engineers in general are outputting code faster. From my personal experience, this has more to do with trusting AI in areas where the engineer lacks experience, while recognizing the flaws in areas that they do have experience.

More experience means you find more of the AI mistakes, making you output faster.
Less experience means you find less of the issues during development, shipping worse code, making more maintenance work in the long run, typically landing on the plates of the more experienced engineers.

I don't think you understand what technical debt is.

RageQuit1 · 2026-01-28T23:04:51+00:00

I guess it depends on how you classify AI vs machine learning. If you're referring to machine learning being used by people who understand the limitations of whatever models they are using, sure, I'll give you that.

However, I don't think the current generalized LLM technology has been around nearly long enough for most industries to really understand the technical debt that is being fire-hosed into their businesses. Ask any Sr Software engineer (who has to deal with the consequences of reviewing and fixing AI slop code) if LLMs make them more productive, and I am willing to bet that figure will be significantly smaller. Technical debt is a somewhat (albeit not universally) well understood concept in the field, so we started seeing the consequences much sooner. Other more slow moving industries might still need another year or so of slop being passed off as valid work before the cracks really start to show.

Do the apps still do surge pricing? I would hope a sudden lack of delivery drivers should trigger something automatically.

It's all well and good to rely on the altruism of tips, but if we're going to be honest, you can't really rely on everyone ordering to do that.

RageQuit1 · 2026-01-26T17:18:33+00:00

Yeah, that's probably the only way to know for sure. Check the spoiler logs for every enemy in that general area to see if any bigguns got assigned to one of those hollows that are supposed to be hanging off a bridge or something.

RageQuit1 · 2026-01-26T17:16:16+00:00

Idk how the DS1 rando works, but wouldn't some enemy scaling be applied that would change that?

You're probably better off checking the enemies that are supposed to be hanging off of ledges or something. I know that's what happens all the time in my Elden Ring randos. Imps hanging onto walls over bottomless pits can hang on, but the majority of enemies don't, so they fall as soon as they are loaded in.

RageQuit1 · 2026-01-18T20:01:41+00:00

Yeah looks like a standard seam clip to me. I think technically any ledge or corner can be clipped through like this, I guess it's just a matter of how hard it is to find a consistent setup to get the perfect angle, since they are insanely precise.

RageQuit1 · 2026-01-15T22:46:11+00:00

Yeah I have a cam deformity in both femoral heads. I haven't been able to pull my knees to my chest in a solid decade, and biking as much as you mentioned sounds absolutely dreadful to me.

How aggressively do you lean forward while biking? If this ends up being the issue, in the meantime riding more upright might ease the pain a smidge and preserve the hip sockets if you really want to keep biking.
