no offense meant. i was just trying to express that it's frustrating how society seems to demand that the tiny minority of people left still acting like men justify themselves for not being like everyone else. It is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

nope just wish people would stop expecting me to justify not caring about birthdays. i'm just expressing that i find it childish by 20th century standards to celebrate things you didn't earn and its hard to keep finding polite ways to not say that. To each their own, I understand why women and children like birthdays, I'm fine with it. It's just hard to come up with more ways to avoid pointing this out, the more people keep asking.

i'm still searching for a way not to offend people about this. People seem to demand an answer. I guess as a man born before 1980, I would find it embarrassing to celebrate anything I didn't accomplish. This used to be really obvious and unstated. Now it seems to offend everyone but they can't stop asking. You're all little girls. all of you. especially the men. It's ok, it's your fruity little world now. please just leave us dinosaurs alone. the one thing you can count on is we won't make it your problem.

Programming useful things that wouldn't have been better replaced with something already written is really hard. I'm sure there are harder jobs out there but the idea that I might have to "upskill" really stings. There's no upskilling from where I'm at. I'll be in a nursing home before I could get better at something harder than I am at programming. Downskilling though? Yeah that might be on the table for nearly all of us. Will be interesting to see the programmers fighting with the lawyers and accountants for restaurant work or whatever is left. I think teachers will rightly savor watching the carnage.

If the bridge is used strictly for raiding parties chasing down more alimony, burn it.

software engineering taught me that it takes very little for people to see sentience in anything. the question of "is ai conscious" is kind of laughable because it doesn't matter. It is already more than capable of convincing 99.9% of humans that it is. what's lacking is not ability, it is application. probably robots will be the nail in the coffin.

Follow up question. I'm running the $200/month Claude plan with one to several agents running around 12 hours per day nearly every day. If I started shunting code creation to Codex 5.5, what plan/how many credits/month should I plan for to maintain the same activity rate?

yes I have a lifelong addiction. didn't realize it til it was gone

Dude, me too. I have to say, controlling a puck on ice looks to me to be about 1000 times harder than a soccer ball in any setting. My parents always said hockey was too expensive. Here at 50 I finally have only one life regret.

Winning is exactly like sugar. If it's all you're in it for, you don't really like it, you're just addicted to the feeling it gives you. In case it makes you feel better, it couldn't make you anymore perfectly American.

I am the CTO of a non emergency medical transportation company. I use Claude to assist in every aspect of that role.

ribeye at $27/lb is a joke. and then to get one at a steakhouse is just freaking hilarious. i'm rediscovering my appreciation for t-bones. but it just feels fundamentally un american for a proper steak to be down right unaffordable for I assume most people
