I mean it’s already happened. Original sources on the web have died out tremendously over the past couple years because no one is being driven to random peoples’ webpages by search engines anymore. Try to use any search engine, even non-AI ones, to find new bits of info that isn’t AI slop is very difficult because it just isn’t there anymore. Why make the effort if no one is going to find it?

Would be hilarious if it’s Anthropic

There are plenty of rails, they’re just different ones. Like criticizing dear leader or Tiananmen square.

While that’s a good amount of money, it isn’t “fuck you” money. You’re still gonna need a job.

“For cause” at my company is gross malfeasance, not merely performing well below expectations. It’s the employer again putting themselves first: problematic employees are “harder” to get rid of than the status quo of letting them stick around indefinitely. Sucks for everyone else who has to work with them. Every company should cull a small number of people every year.

I actually think a few % a year is healthy (1% feels right to me). I work at a company where we never lay anyone off and it’s led to a bunch of deadweight in the company that make work harder for everyone else. You gotta have some mechanism to let low performers go.

10% is way too high though

The law wouldn’t apply to free games or games that are only accessible via a subscription.

Boy this feels rife with potential loopholes…

“What a great observation! Now why don’t we both kick back with a nice relaxing glass of Coke Zero?”

I’m fine with just cooking him and throwing the meat away

If VSCode is just hijacking the in-IDE commit UI, is bypassing it as simple as committing from the command line?

And all this shit is insured

I do a lot of “disconnected coding,” think scripts that do a long and complicated calculation, triggered manually by a few users, and aren’t online services. In these cases vibe coding is pretty great: if something doesn’t work the first time, I can iterate easily till it does. Very few consequences in getting it wrong other than time. My hand is also very firmly on the wheel and I have a lot of time to think about changes to fix issues or make things better.

Now for an online service with very specific requirements on how it handles inputs and produces outputs, at scale, with security issues, and millions of people using it…yeah I’d be pulling my hair out too if I had to vibe code all that.

He was vibin’ before it was cool

For years, we’ve been warned that the robots are coming for us. Now they’re asking us to come for them.

Some gold quotes in this one

I don’t even get how it would work in practice. If me and another person are staring at the price tag of a block of cheese, and I’m rich and they’re not, does it laser beam a price into my eyeballs and a different, lower price into theirs? Cause otherwise when I take the block of cheese to the register and suddenly it’s double the price, I’m putting the cheese back cause I saw the lower price.

I guess the question is, what distinguishes a “dead” cell from a “live” one if it is not in decay? What makes this Mantis impossible to revive?

Real question: if the amber prevents the mantis from decaying, and its cells are still intact, is it actually dead? Do we know that for sure?

Also throw Switzerland onto this plot and suddenly there’s a massive correlation

Por qué no los dos?

Yeah I honestly can’t think of why one needs more than 1 gigabit other than what you mentioned (or torrenting). Even 1 gig feels like overkill for us and I do much more internetting than the average person.
