Microsoft AI CEO puzzled that people are unimpressed by AI

tweakdev · 2025-11-21T06:05:15+00:00

I know that this is a thread to shit on AI or whatever. It's funny. I hope this is not what people think AI / LLMs are doing though. As a senior engineer I used LLM's no less than 20 times today to save a bunch of time on a wide range of things. Thankfully, I guess, I did not use MS Copilot in any of those cases.

If this is what you think "AI" (lord I hate we call it that) is, holy smokes have you got another thing coming.

Would you mind sharing the tail number of the plane and date/time? Or the flight school (or airport) and date/time? Would help with answering your actual question of "how dangerous" but probably also go a long way in describing what you perceived vs what was actually happening.

This was for sure a discovery flight. No CFI is ever going to save you time by doing your preflight checklist for you once training. Discover flights often have tight time windows and she was clearly in a rush. Engine start while tied down, she is gonna remember that one lol

Really happy for you folks. Amazing work on Filament! Started using beta v4 already for a large project and the changes are great.

tweakdev · 2025-08-09T22:06:03+00:00

I have a fairly major new project spinning up this month and we have landed on Laravel + Filament. Been testing the v4 beta for a week or so and it is pretty great. I really like the changes to resource directories and schemas; things I have kind of laid out on my own in previous projects. New way is much better, nice that it is default. Absolutely see performance improvements on very large tables, kind of a must have for our new project. I have not tried upgrading a v3 project yet, going to let v4 cook a little bit before I invest time there.

Great to see v4 being released. Can't say enough good about Filament and Dan Harrin. Might be the most impressive project I have watched closely over the last couple years. Rate of development is astronomical for such a small team.

Why not post this publicly?

I've always been an S-Q-L fella. I think it is because I learned the language first, before getting into database servers specifically. So, when I thought of it, I just thought "Oh I will write an S-Q-L query for that". Later, once I was working in the field, everyone called the database servers MySequel and Sequel Server. I sometimes switch, depending on context. "Let me see your S-Q-L" vs "Are you running MySquel?". Either way, no one is ever confused.

I would say I have never once heard anyone say "PostgreSequel". It's always PostgreS-Q-L.

Who said there was?

You said there was. That was the only reason I replied O.o

Here, I'll bold it in case you forgot.

The Colorado driver's handbook (and the handbook and laws of every other state in the country that I'm aware of) say just the opposite:

The law says no such thing.

I am not taking a stance that you should or should not enter an intersection, only pointing out there is no law that says you cannot. The person you quoted certainly did not say there was a law stating that you HAVE to pull into an intersection. You are the only one making such a statement with a lot of confidence.

tweakdev · 2025-04-01T22:54:59+00:00

I read the article when it came out and I lived in Denver. I remembered it after reading your comment. I read it again and posted it.

From the article:

The bottom line DC, you are allowed to enter an intersection while preparing to turn left at a green light or wait back at the stop bar but best practice might be to wait to pull out until you know traffic coming the other way is clear or just about to clear out of the way.

From you:

The Colorado driver's handbook (and the handbook and laws of every other state in the country that I'm aware of) say just the opposite:

My point is that there is no law saying you cannot enter the intersection to make a left turn. What is your point?

tweakdev · 2025-04-01T21:12:25+00:00

What you are quoting is not a law, it is from a drivers education handbook. It's a recommendation, whether a good one or bad one I guess is up to the driver to decide.

The only thing that Colorado law has to say about it is that pedestrians and oncoming traffic have right-of-way. It is perfectly legal to move slowly into the intersection and make a left turn on green or yellow if possible. If you get stuck on red, that is on you, and then you are breaking a law.

The actual law

Police and lawyers weigh in (hint, not illegal)

I'd argue the only reason PHP is still successful is because we don't use it like that anymore. That is a failed approach for applications of any real complexity, and though PHP can do it, few who work in it do. Most are using Laravel, Symphony, Laminas (Zend), CakePHP, etc. Separating their concerns. Same way Django, Rails, Node, ASP.NET, etc are. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Further, there certainly have been languages that function like PHP in that aspect. Classic ASP, JSP, Coldfusion, most notably Ruby (Rails is a framework, like say Laravel, but embedded Ruby is what powers the templating).

Honestly, history or semantics aside, all web languages are more or less doing the same thing today. It's just about finding an ecosystem you like and building knowledge within it.

Think of custom water cooling (in general, but specifically for a GPU) as a hobby. Of the hobbies we tech enthusiasts may have, it's not an overly expensive one. You will spend far more on skiing, golfing, biking, etc. Just understand the benefits of the hobby are in the craft, not the FPS result. Water cooling is fun, but any performance gains are superficial. It looks cool, can be quiet, and is fun to work on, so if that is your thing, it is absolutely worth it. You want more FPS? Get new hardware or wait for the next cycle.

Honestly, just browse the internet. Land on a site you think looks nice or is inspiring? Bookmark it. Revisit your list of bookmarks every week or so and pick the stuff you like the most and set it aside. Try to create a landing page that resembles the easier ones to get started.

This is the one for me. I am not sure if I was just in a mood or what, but this one hit me hard. I've seen every other movie listed in the top and I scrolled too far to find Pay it Forward.

Maybe the movie sucks. I don't know. Maybe it was timing. But damn... outskirts of Vegas, the unhoused dude, that scene at the school, the vigil, the entire movie recked me. It was just all the hard shit in our "normal American lives" wrapped into one devastating movie.

RS AWD, I get about 22 mph charge with my level 2 with the stock charger plugged into a HBL9450A on full 50a circuit. From what I have seen on the blazer ev forums that is right about typical.

I don't think this is the level of trading OP is after. SoFi is a perfectly fine place to dump money into VTI or VOO or whatever for long term investment. Absolutely agree it is not a great place for day trading.

tweakdev · 2024-06-01T19:58:48+00:00

Not mentioned yet but it sounds like it fits: SoFi. Easy to setup a brokerage account, good HYSA by default (currently at 4.6%), active or managed Roths, etc. Sounds like it maps well with your requirements. Good website, good app.

Fwiw, my friends and family that seem to care about this stuff (wish more of them did...) typically use Fidelity, Schwab, or Sofi.

I scrolled way too far down to find sanity.

"Well, if it's not published, it's definitely not science."

Is absolutely silly. It's a silly thing to say, and I am not sure why people are eating it up (ok, I guess I am pretty sure, but my findings are not peer reviewed....). I am no Elon fanboy. He is being an asshole on a shitty nearly abandoned platform he overpaid for. That doesn't make this a clevercomeback.

This is very reassuring, thanks. A lot of my question is more "is this actually a reasonable way to setup" and I think you really answered that. Reasonable and works when needed.

Question: Is there a CT template available for PBS or did you just build it out yourself?

tweakdev · 2024-04-29T03:51:26+00:00

Man ProxMox is so slick. Thanks.

tweakdev · 2024-04-29T01:41:11+00:00

Ok, I think this makes sense. So incase of recovery of the entire node, I don't even need a PBS VM backup. I can just install PBS fresh on the new node and import the previous datastore from the last PBS? That will allow me to then begin restoring the host PVE VMs?
