Humans use em dash as well.

I hate that I have had to remove it from my writing style because people assume it’s AI generated. But I think that ship has sailed. I’ll have to do without now.

If those devices ran off POE they would be divine. Trying to keep walls looking clean in our custom build and usb power is a drag.

Chatblade cli is also worth checking out. No loading fees and you can pipe code results to files.

It is quite interesting the various anecdotes in the comments that all seem to have different opinions and contradict each other. All of which of course can be true--including the article. One thing can be linked to another and there still be outliers of course.

For my story. I moved within walking distance of my office 20 years ago. Since then, I will never do any sort of commute. It completely changed my day. I since changed to remote work, but if I have to go into an office again, I will move within a couple blocks of wherever that office is.

Interesting, I have switched over to using chatblade CLI client and had not noticed a degradation in results.

Guess I better start trying some queries in both for a bit to compare quality.

I was also was ready to add a credit card but have also moved off gmail.

The concept sounds great though, I have to imagine there is another product out there, or will be soon, that does not require gmail.

I really like the idea of Blendle. I signed up and paid for a few articles. I actually want to use it, and spend more there.

The issue has nothing to do with the cost, or quality--instead, it is just really hard to make it part of my browsing routine.

I realized I just don't sit down and read news anymore. I obviously get into articles throughout the day from links people share, but I never sit down and think--yeah, I want to read "the news" now.

I’m an ex-ORM advocate.

In short, you are very very unlikely to ever change your database.

DBs are full of useful features that an ORM hides.

Instead, I now pick a DB that has the features I want and then use the hell out of the features.

I remember a pre-ORM time of so many manually created db side configs, stored procs, views, triggers, etc. that a DBA would have to manage. I think these unmanageable messes were one of the catalysts to getting people on board with ORMs.

To avoid going back that far. I make sure all config is part of code. Managed by migrations. Or otherwise checked into a repo and managed by a CI/CD pipeline. Now I get to use a full featured DB again. Actually use all its features. And things don’t turn into unmanageable messes.

I am so glad I don't have to make predictions about the Apple AR. Whether it succeeds or not, I think its future will be fascinating.

I find the Apple AR most like the iPhone launch, not in that it is a probable success, but that the iPhone at launch was more a platform for apps and a blank slate. It wasn't really until app developers took the platform and ran with it that people even knew what exactly it was capable of.

I think the Apple AR is in a very similar place. It has an extremely capable processor, and a platform for building apps. Now, will the collective consciousness of app developers find the use cases I can't live without, or is the platform too flawed and too expensive. I really can't say, and I can't believe anyone that says they are sure one way or the other.

It will be interesting for sure, and I'm tempted to try to find an niche app to write myself.

The plugin spec allows for user authentication--But it seems to be in process.

Due to current UI limitations, we are not allowing plugins with User authentication into the plugin store. We expect this to change in the near future.

For now if you get development access you can run it on localhost and just make it available to yourself. So something early access could be a GitHub download and make your own copy for yourself kind of thing.

ETA: I do like the idea of some email integration. Assuming one is fine with ChatGPT knowing your email contents.

I'll add a few first:

- Weather integrations. Questions such as "Where is a good place to travel to this weekend?". "What day this week should I go hiking". "Where is the cheapest place to fly to business class that has weather above 70 degrees and a beach" (if kayak plugin ever works)

- Sports and fantasy data. "Who should I start next week?"

- CI/CD integrations. Possibly ask about failures and why the failed. Why the test failed. Could it come up with a fix?

Exactly this. Our group regularly maxes out instance types in a region for some of our simulations. Have to overflow the requests over to other regions in those cases. Unfortunately the load is not consistent enough to pay for the reserved capacity.

Especially if my clean plastics will get mixed in with a bunch of dirty plastics and then rewashed in with that batch. I don’t know the answer either but would love to find out so I can be a better citizen about it.

With most rental cars giving you unlimited miles, I'm very much of the opinion that when you factor in mileage and wear and tear on the car plus vehicle depreciation due to the long miles on the road trip--that renting a car for long trips is the way to go.

Especially when compared to owning a second care with an ICE just for the occasional trip.

I don't expect a random guy to deeply understand the technicalities, but I do expect a journalist to do more investigation than reaching out to a large corporation for comment.

Regardless of what is "expected" I stand by that it would have been interesting to dig in to the details. Hopefully somebody does. I doubt apple will, but I think there can be lessons learned from understanding how it happened if someone were to research it.

This article is missing so many technical details. Would have been so interesting to dig into the "why" and "how".

If you like seeing options, you might be interested in having the Copilot pane open while you code if you are using it. It shows usually about 4 solutions in the panel that it is thinking about for autocomplete, and you can click which one you want.

Not necessarily better than SO but I find it nice to see options.

It is a radical shift. But so many so is the current internet a radical shift from its initial inception. People wrote blogs and articles long before ads. And now most people still do write them for free, it’s just that their content gets gobbled up by blogspam sites.

I definitely see a shift in the internet with things like this, I’m just not convinced it’s for the worse.

Meta-Meta question: Why is "actually worrisome" part of "more capable"?

If worrisome is because of job prospects for an existing career, my advice is to embrace new tech, not fear it. Just keeping up with things even if you don't use it right away is usually enough to stay relevant. Things don't really evolve that quickly, and so as long as you don't resist change completely things usually work out.

Heck even if you hate change, and don't want to change at all, there will be plenty of old legacy companies with the old fashioned manual reports needing a person in a chair to type out the SQL to make them. Just like there are still (good paying) jobs for those COBOL experts today.

Was a startup founder. Sold it. No current intention of doing it again, but may change someday. No option really addresses past founders.

Further, Electronic clearance delivery already sends instructions to the airplane electronically for their in-flight clearance. An electronic delivery of their ground clearance could be hooked up to navigation to highlight that route on the ground as well.

For those thinking about preventative solutions, there are some existing, all very expensive of course.

The simplest is placing a row of red lights in the ground at all intersections to runways. When an airplane is cleared for takeoff and until it is airborne the controller presses a button and turns all these lights red. Pilots are instructed that regardless of clearance, a red light over-rides that, and to never cross it. These lights are installed at JFK, but apparently NOT at the intersection inquisition. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runway_status_lights).

JFK also has Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE). Which is essentially ground radar including transponder/ADS-B replies. Many have automated alerts when it detects a potential runway incursion. Not known if any such system alerted the controller.

There is obviously room for more to be done in this space.

I can give a little context just from my experience renting an apartment there. The large Jeonse where it is the price of the property is not necessarily required. Usually it is still usually rather large, and the higher the jeonse the less the rent is. So you are correct that a jeonse the cost of the house itself would usually mean $0 rent, whereas a more "normal" 1 years worth of rent jeonse would yield you a "normal" rent.

The huge deposits are not held in escrow (though they should be), but as I found out after having to sue to get my Jeonse back, there are ways to protect it if you act in advance:

1) You can register a lean on the property when you first move in in the amount of your jeonse. 2) Do NOT vacate the property until the Jeonse is returned.

That being said, people are mostly just trusting and I don't know of anyone that actually follows those steps. As a foreigner you are especially vulnerable since they know you likely have a flight to catch on your move out week and won't hold the property hostage. That being said, the legal system for these kinds of debts was swift and we got paid quite quickly once a lawyer was involved.

The whole state of Jeonse is quite extraordinary. It has a huge effect on people being able to move away from home, and I would guess a large effect on homelessness overall. It is wild that you have to pay $30,000 USD to just move into a 1 bedroom apartment. I had a small studio near a university and it was $12,000 USD just to move in.

If I do it again I will definitely be prepared for filing a lien and for a fight at move out.

I have seen two extremes of this. The one side is forced conformity, and the other side was complete chaos. To the point where each project was written in its own language. Imagine changing teams to help on a project and step 1 is to learn a new language and deploy methods.

I feel like there is a golden middle where the team has decided on maybe 3 languages, one typed, one scripted, one cutting edge. And a few different deploy scenarios, and you can pick amongst them.

I don't know actual numbers, but a lot of people have them and don't know anything about them, or even that they have one.

I only have 3 data points, but every time I have used the convection feature at someone else's house, they had no idea it was a feature, or what a convection oven even does.

Edit to add: These were all in newer homes, so could be a more recent trend?

Agreed. I have put a hard stop on subscribing to any software. Even Jetbrain's products, I'll just purchase outright every few years to get updates.

All those subscriptions add up. And when I buy a product I expect to use it for a very long time (decade +). If I add up those subscription fees it feels incredibly expensive.

I have successfully weened myself off of all my software subscriptions. On a yearly basis it was costing me $1000+ for software. At this point it doesn't matter how good of software it is, I'm moving on if it doesn't have a purchase or lifetime option.

I can't see Stripe giving front line employees the ability to resolve Risk Management issues.

From the Risk Management employee's perspective, nobody gets in trouble for saying "no". Saying "no", or outright rejecting an account is the safe move for job security. And so, support tickets into these departments languish for absurd amount of times (months) at many companies.

Ha! I can easily say I have given $0.

I quite dislike the twitch subscription and beg for donation model.

I think tone affects whether one wants to engage in disagreement. If I disagree with someone but they have an incredibly incendiary tone, I want nothing to do with a discourse.

If someone disagrees but has a rational tone, I am more willing to voice my disagreements.

For me, tone effects my engagement with opposition, not whether or not I oppose something.

I would argue that without the "mean" tone, people might stick around twitter and have a discourse about their disagreements, and with the "mean" tone people are more likely to just bail and complain outside the platform.

Obviously we don't have a control group, so we have nothing to compare what twitter is doing right now against something else directly.

Whether it is softcore porn or "playing video games", I don't doubt it is work. It might not be as hard as writing a database, but neither is as hard as digging a trench on a construction site.

They are being paid to be entertainers. A majority of people streaming don't get any noticable viewership even though they "play video games" every day. The people getting paid are entertaining (to some segment of the population), and put on a show while they play video games or sit in a hot tub. Video games and the hot tub are just the backdrop to the entertainment.

If feel like a quick experiment, I suggest one try watching a 2 viewer stream for 30 minutes, followed by a top stream for 30 minutes. I would wager that time will move quite slowly waiting for 30. minutes while watching the 2 viewer streamer playing the same video game as the top streamer. And while you might not totally enjoy streaming in general, I would guess that watching the top streamer will be a lot easier to endure a 30 minute watch.

Should entertainers, actors, and athletes be paid so much? That is a whole other topic, but I see no reason to separate out streamers from any of these other types of positions that are paid to entertain us.

You might not find the star athlete of some sports team interesting or worth watching, but millions of other people in your area do find it worth their time and money. Same with streamers.
