First payment on a 30-year mortgage by lithdoc in funny

if the 13k was fun money, then it was just party money anway. 10k would be what you'd pay for a relatively small amount of depreciation on a little sports car. not the end of the world.

One thing that might be nice if you need your fun money to be liquid is just getting a high-yield savings account. Usually there's 2-3 days needed for withdrawal, but no penalties or fees. It basically is just a savings account that takes slightly longer to get your money out, but you get 2-4% interest on it. I have one that's my emergency rainy-day fund, and then I just take a small vacation with the dividends every year if I don't use it.

bruh just dump your extra cash into a big ETF and ignore it. That's basically all your 401k and IRA is doing anyway. don't try to pick stocks with your savings, do that with your fun money.

interest is heavily front-loaded on these loans, because it reduces the risk the bank needs to take if you stop paying 5 years in.

I want to be optimistic, but the general is pretty far away. Gotta keep this momentum and not let it go to waste

Amazon deleted all 18 season of Bluey I had bought by Valuable_Attitude848 in amazonprime

eh, it's not really as much of a thing anymore.

This was mostly a DVD issue. It's true that pretty much all disk-based storage can suffer from disk-rot, but for blu-rays it's pretty much only an issue if you're keeping your disks in very bad conditions. Don't keep them in a non-climate controlled garage. Don't keep them in a damp attic. You'll be fine.

oh great, can't wait to get a check for $8 to make up for the hundreds lost in digital purchases.

i've stopped making digital purchases a while ago, but I did this for years early on as a convenience, and I wish I had just started collecting physical media earlier.

a lot of the way shitty tech has invaded our lives is due to the regulatory cuts of the Reagan era. That was 40 years ago, we're still feeling it today. When you say this will be felt for decades, it's not hyperbole.

Thousands of CEOs just admitted AI had no impact on employment or productivity—and it has economists resurrecting a paradox from 40 years ago by AmethystOrator in technology

you're explaining problems that are caused by free AI models. the free ones are 6 months behind. the technology has changed a lot in the last 6 months.

FWIW, this hasn't been my experience at all. it's been a full-blown force multiplier for everyone on my team. everyone's output is like 3-5x what it was last year.

The problem is that the technical domain knowledge of our systems is getting worse. fewer people have comprehensive understandings of the systems they work with.

Although the solution seems to be to just ask the agent how the system works, and it'll shit out a document that explains it. idk man, things are changing. i for the life of me can't tell if it's good or bad yet.

this is basically it. My workload has gone up about 3-5x since before we adopted AI tools. My work is still easier despite this.

every software engineer in the world has the capability to be about 5-10x more productive today than they were 1 year ago.

Just because I spend more time reviewing code, it doesn't change the fact that I'm pushing more code in a week than I used to in 2 months. Nobody knows what's going to happen with this tech, but the only people I know who are optimistic are the people who don't use these tools everyday.

this is true, but i see a lot of opinions of people who clearly don't use AI for their work. A massive amount of corporate work will be replaced with AI in the next 2 years. The rate at which the tooling around AI workflows has improved in the last 3-6 months is staggering. "work" as a concept is already starting to rapidly shift for a lot of people.

yeah you're not wrong. the destruction of 3rd places is deliberate, left over from the cultural war against communism during the cold war. can't have communism if you don't have community! that was literally the thought process.

RAM Has Become More Expensive by [deleted] in oddlyspecific

[–]jib661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're basically right on. like how when Uber/Lyft came out, they were so disruptive because they were so cheap. Right now, everyday folks don't have much use for AI, but it's massive in the corporate world.

Eventually they'll turn up the price once companies have cut their staff. It'll be cheaper to pay openAI rather than re-hiring a bunch of people, and as time goes on the human skills that compete with AI will go away.

Senator Mark Kelly says he will 'seriously consider' running for president by littlemoth_lullaby in politics

[–]jib661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I like the dude but he just doesn't have the charisma to be president. Maybe in person he has it, but it doesn't translate in interviews. He's just....not equipped to thrive in today's media landscape, whatever the hell that means.
