I asked a few of my friends that are ML engineers this question and all of them said to run the LLMs in the cloud with their infrastructure because it was going to be way faster. If you just want to tinker around I would look at @JSR_FDD's comment.

I finally kicked off my browser based game with the help of codex cli this year. It has been like having a junior developer that takes decent direction. There have been some missteps but "we" have made a lot more progress on it than I had the last three years. And it let's me spend my time optimizing the things I like doing.

I feel like most first intro classes in Computer Science is learn the coding language on your own. At first I was like why? Why don't they hold our hands while we do this. But since I have had some space to look back it really is a pretty good representation of our industry. You are going to need to learn new languages. So getting thrown in the deep end is a pretty good precursor for what work is going to look like.

This has only recently been a problem for me. There is a nice gentleman with my same name who picked up the gmail address without the dot. He lives in Arizona. Has a library membership. Plays in a softball league. I am not sure how much of my email he gets. I haven't set up a filter yet but I will eventually. I like seeing what my doppelganger is up to some times.

I think a real time ranking system for students at a university that is visible by all is just going to be targeted for greedy or ambitious people looking to convert it into jobs or money. If I am in the top 10 percent of the rankings in Rocket League sure I can make a few grand streaming, but if I am in the top 10 percent of rankings at a school I can get a better job than the rest. What are the bottom 90 percent's motivation for helping people improve at that point?

The two hobbies you suggested get easier the more you spend. Surfing has a cap pretty quick in that if you spend more you aren't going to be suddenly amazing or get a huge leg up in the competition. You can catch some waves quicker with better gear, but experience is how you get good at it. It is only getting into the water and practicing that gets you better at surfing. Photography has many things that will allow you to take better pictures. Sailing gets expensive at the start and continues as you go. Surfing is a 1 to 4 items purchase sport that is relatively cheap to keep at since you don't need to upgrade.

Time to document. We have an unwritten rule that you got to check the confluence page before asking someone in person. If the answer is there then you gotta get that person a beer or lunch pending on the issue.

I think we should just limit games like junk food to moderation so that we can keep working on productive things. The trick is pulling yourself away from it. The plus side with junk food is that your stomach will rebel if you eat too much where as your mind rebels only after you have stopped and realized you have played too much.

A bunch of studies came out saying that students are better with more sleep and generally waking up after 7 is best so we get this law. The problem here is that I am betting that the kids still get home before their parents from work and now they will have to start after their parents leave for work so it will put an economic crunch on dual working parents.

Isn't this what Slack is trying to do for the workplace? A messaging system that provides reference history?

What does that help prove though? That I have a good memory? There are better data structures in pretty much all standard libraries out there for your flavor of language. I am sure that my 2nd year CS class didn't go into the nuances of the coding of the linked list. If I remember correctly it was just make sure you can write one by the end of the week and turn it in.

When I thought about this, the next part of the chain to be automated will be automated trucks. So then we need automated distribution from the trucks to the stores. The stores already have self check out. So the whole food chain for plants will not need a human involved.

The trick is that then he is the throughput of his team into all the systems. So he can see if someone is having trouble with a bit of the code i.e. they haven't finished a part of the project. The Senior Dev can then pair code etc to help out. This will assuage the admin monkey syndrome when an answer comes up.

But the answer is brilliant cause it also gives him the ability to see what his team is working on and how they are working on it.

Marco Polo = 9 mil per season and 90 mil for the 10 seasons. So while they have losses they aren't as high as you think they are. I think they are thinking that they can take the loss if they can get enough people to watch it over time. Counting on people to either rewatch it (ala reruns in normal TV) or tell friends who then have something to use their subscription for.
