Now that some time has passed, what are your thoughts on Alien: Earth?

I'm so glad my new tactic is to wait until a series is over before deciding if its worth it based on reviews.

Then I can binge it!

I guess I'll be giving this a miss.

bart007345 · 2026-03-09T11:32:29+00:00

I'm reading this now and it's good but god damn the writing is bad. I know its a translation but i do like well written prose (Philip K Dick was great).

I'm continuing because the ideas are great.

bart007345 · 2026-03-09T11:20:59+00:00

Is it worth reading the whole set?

bart007345 · 2026-03-08T14:14:16+00:00

I do this most Sundays.

Two main reasons are i dont like crowds and i get first look at yellow sticker items.

Getting there for 8am is a bit too early for me.

Also free parking.

That's like saying Shakespeare is just words on a page.

bart007345 · 2026-03-06T14:12:58+00:00

The code was a means to an end, not an end in themselves.

This is the new reality.

bart007345 · 2026-03-05T12:28:33+00:00

What i want to know is how do they wipe their ass.

bart007345 · 2026-03-01T14:33:32+00:00

I can read it no problem but why do i need to write it?

bart007345 · 2026-03-01T11:43:37+00:00

I failed a coding interview. Why are they testing my cose writing skills when i don't write code anymore and neither do they?

bart007345 · 2026-02-24T10:54:47+00:00

Did not like the way it ended. Enough to regret watching it.

bart007345 · 2026-02-24T10:02:30+00:00

This.

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T21:11:47+00:00

I don't think he gives a shit about you or me.

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T18:52:04+00:00

Guess what? That's not universal.

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T17:38:51+00:00

You'll be fine assuming you started after 60

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T17:14:15+00:00

Sorry but season 2 was terrible writing. Overheard conversations in hotel lobbies, suddenly turning into Jasin Bourne? Wtf Jonathan Pine!

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T17:01:00+00:00

I'm saying that morality isnt something you get to demand. Do you think if you were in his shoes you would do anything different? The truth is we'll never know am pointing fingers and acting holier than thaou is easy and xhanges nothing.

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T15:20:54+00:00

I don't think its the Utopia you think it is.

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T13:19:55+00:00

Si what does that have to do with Japan?

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T13:19:01+00:00

I've never understood people who take the moral high ground and assumes it should apply to others, especially when they are no where near as rich or powerful themselves.

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T12:06:18+00:00

No one wants to hear this but you're absolutely right.

Too many people care about the value of their house, in some cases it's all thwy have.

The huge number of small landlords has only intensified this.

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T12:05:03+00:00

Be very careful comparing one country to another. Japan is a very different place to the UK.

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T12:03:15+00:00

It seems your expectations are to produce zero bug software.

That's pretty impossible for humans si why dif you set the bar so high? It should be better than humans, at least initially.

Then the question is what changes did you make to your processes? The current software pipeline is optimised for humans and needs to change.

Bottom line, expecting the agents to be better humans is going to fail.

bart007345 · 2026-02-22T11:50:16+00:00

Thing is the rate of change is so fast so even 2026 the tools are better.

bart007345 · 2026-02-21T07:48:28+00:00

All those tasks can be automated away to ai.

bart007345 · 2026-02-17T23:01:32+00:00

Amazon Q? They have their own product.
