Ai detected. Not good. Not readable. Slop.

The season three issues are addressed in the article. I’m looking forward to what they have in mind for season 4.

What a nitemare to read. I stuck with it but wished after I didn’t. Reminds me of a 2.5 star movie that I watch to the end but am so annoyed as the credits roll.

Yes there is a dissonance, using LLMS just took their dot point notes and spread them thin. I personally would prefer just the notes and some personal anecdotes to tie the notes into a cohesive whole. This, this approach here, is not better.

I can see the Signal Messaging app icon in the product shots. Does it have first class support for Signal in addition to What’s app that’s being predominately promoted.

Seems to be running Lineage OS, so I’m a little hopeful but looking for certainty as WhatsApp is profile so significantly and Signal is not otherwise mentioned.

During the press conference he finished with a light joke that was something like “after all it’s meant to be Street Easy not Street Hard”. I assumed that was an app, your post unintentionally closed the loop for me!

Agree AI modified listing make no sense to allow; regulation here is making up for platform failure.

I don’t read it that way. I think they are just cutting the edges of what are “the core tools” of the stack in different places.

This projects ability to introduce conventions cause there is a framework underlines its potential value.

If folks that are experimenting across any of these tools start to choose to begin from this framework first; then there’s really opportunities for this to grow. Either way I’d suggest that’s a good focus for them to measure success.

Coming from Rails, which I’m sure informes part of the philosophy I really like this.

One design value of Rails is “Convention over configuration”, or what I sometimes explain as smart defaults over having to decide everything.

I see this is an area this project can help with; thought through folder and naming conventions; wrestling with issues at the seem between common tools. Making doing things the right way way (like database migrations) becomes the easiest way to do it; most of the time.

A bundle of smart conventions and ways of working that cuts down yak shaving and sometimes solves arguments as the project can be; well we thought on this a lot more than most of you and we’ve gone with this approach to stick these together and if you only half care now you can get this done for free for your apps.

Interesting manufacturing story that does sound pretty crappy.

To bring it across to Andon and Lean, Deming literally addressed this as one of his 14 points of quality management that Lean manufacturing follows:

Point 11. Eliminate numerical quotas for the workforce and numerical goals for management.

What’s important here is not that there are buttons in a factory but rather the culture that goes along with their usage.

Point 8. Drive out fear, seems relevant here also.

Sorry you experienced this.

I’m pretty sure EVERYONE is covered under the public system, a levy is added in the car rego fee that is the funding mechanism. You don’t need to be a driver to be covered.

In Australia we have very strong consumer protection law, here it’s expected (by the bank usually) the landlord has at least a minimum “landlord insurance” that covers all that stuff.

For anything not covered, where a tenant does damage thats what the bond is for.

Renter insurance should be optional.

Actually I’m surprised that landlord insurance is not already occurring, imagine a building with 100 apartments, I’m sure the bank would ask the landlord to have a single cover over 100’s of little crappy policies.

If renter insurance is required by regulations, this is likley another good target for policy change.

Americans really do get screwed in so many ways.

If they don’t make a statement on it, I’d be very cautious in trusting this team.

Wow. Your comments come across as rude and underdeveloped. I’d posit that if our planet was to significantly change is rotation speed that we would all sense it. That we are accustomed to a predictable constant is not the same as that we wouldn’t feel it if it changed.

My first statement would be that surely the challenge you are experiencing is pretty similar to what Ford has reported around its recent AI adoption.

A core principal from Toyota Lean Production and Demings TQM, is that a critical way to increase quality is to address waste coming upstream, including the waste of fixing defects.

The argument that “AI runs so quickly” reminds me of the American manufacturing technique of making a machine lunch out widgets whether they were needed or of not to maximise throughput. As any lean practitioner knows this leads to multiple additional wastes including excess work in progress and wasted movement.

How do you see this principal lines up with current AI arguments?

So refreshing to have this NOT read a few pageS IN; words to the effect of.. “and the I asked Claude to build most of it for me then set to tweaking a few parts at the edges before asking Claude to write up this blog post”

The software that most accountants use is leaning into AI as hard as it can and unlike coders, accountants are being sold the benefits but can’t directly see the shortcomings and don’t have the programming know how to engage with the technical nuance.

Like many other sectors quality is gradually turning to slops as people “let the AI do it”.

If it helps clarify, Apple have also let their OS quality go too. Years of under investment just shiny new veneer.

Linux has continues to improve and in my opinion is ready to be “the free default” OS on PC’s and standard laptops.

Would love to see many more manufacturers read this as the slight taht it is from Microsoft and to follow Lenovos lead in making windows a paid add-on, going with a big Linux distro as the default.

Maybe instead of hardware they should just stick to the knitting and deal with their quality issues around both the OS and the Office suite right now.

Great to see! Signed.

Please stay off the AI. Leaning hard here sends the opposite message to what you’re intending. Seems the event is trying for say people matter more, lean into that.

Pretty interesting resource. Anyone else have other similar resources. Pls share any links to website or documents.

I’m personally pretty keen to find an alternative to the proprietary format that is PDF.

Anyone used this format, I can’t remember Harding of it before I came across this today. Beyond being not as widely spread any special drawbacks or benefits worth mentioning?

It has already enshitified. These changes are text book.

- Inclusion and Transparency values made more shitty

- Always free commitment removed. What? It’s right there “always”.

- Shittily hacking old blog post to become nonsensical

- Loss of confidence

- Stalling improvement cycle, no more repairs, just things quietly breaking and going bad.

Just found comments below highlighting likley use of AI to write the critique article. That it. Im not reading this.

Have some self respect people.

A recent example from yesterday:

I hope I’ve made my points clear in the description. Any one else finding this really annoying?

Just started reading.. I swear if I start to get the sense this article is written by an LLM, I’m going to loose it.

I found this an interesting read until the second to last sentence:

“ Zig built the foundation, Claude erected the building, human reviewers are still en route.”

Wait?! Was this article also written with AI? Surely the author wouldn’t be so err pompus and dare I say somewhat hypocritical.

If you can afford to pay that bit more for quality product, from the article plus a few comments here; seems that people really like Makita.

- hasn’t enshitifed

- makes quality tools that last

- much more repairable (saving you even more in the long term)

- single company, not a conglomerate, no weird vc influence.

For most tools you won’t need upgrades, just build out your collection as you go.

The second part of the article moves into a very confusing to read user experience.

That said, maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see any mention of pandoc that is known to do markdown > pdf rendering “client side”.

This wasn’t AI written by chance?
