I tag my travel email as trips.

What I got out of this... Plan better next time, to not run out of gas.

Their stats are weird. Where is Android in the mix? Why break out OS X and MacOS?

First you complain about AI writing unmaintainable junk and then admit you know where the demons in your code live. You are defensive. One thing I have found coding very complex financial models and trading systems is that they’re difficult and many times brittle, getting others to write code is time consuming and frustrating. Getting AI to write the same thing is fast and not at all tedious, it just gets the job done, no complaining, no rightous arguments. AI can pick up a new protocol and build a complex system in mere minutes where a normal intermediate coder would take a week to get up to speed. When set up properly it makes me from 5 to 10 times as productive and costs far less. Offshoring is definitely dead, constulants gone and at least half the coders at most organizations should start looking for other work asap.

A college economics professor explained nyc rentals to our class and how people found them ending that they were following ambulances to see where people might have died. Shortage of space was his explanation.

Great idea. I am sure MORE government intervention will make this so much better. If I lived in San Francisco still I’d be getting a generator.

There’s a lot in a name.

Yuck!

Clippy was too stupid to qualify as an AI.

I used to own a house in California which I swore was peach, my coworker told me face it the house is pink.

“ and from an influx of Chinese competitors that have been able to undercut traditional brands.”

All you need to know.

It has been obvious for at least 10 years that the Yuan is undervalued allowing China to undercut and undermine all your local companies.

Admit to having drank the koolaide, it is the first step. I wrote an entire system with tech I barely understand (duckdb), next.js etc, made 7 to 10 iterations per day, and multiple new functions and integrations in hours all while doing my main job. What does the code look like ???. It works, I do not care. Can the AI modify it in under 5 minutes, yes. New features that would take minimal a week, got done in 2 to 3 minutes. Did the AI ever complain, no it did not. Anyone who thinks they will be hand coding going forward is completely fooling themselves. The AI tests better than most engineers. When asked it builds flawless test harnesses and even suggests better solutions. Never going back.

Is ok, the AI was going to replace them in a few weeks anyway.

I remember a junior dev who thought he was done when his code conpiled without syntax errors.

Whenn I lived in Atlanta the Krogers each had a nickname. There was disco Kroger because of its disco ball. There was murder Kroger that purportedly had been the site of a murder.

This I guess is Robo Kroger.

Hallucinate much?

There are four bullet points that answer the question why would you want this.

The one that really stands out to me is

“ 03 :: Predictable low fees

Transform your cost structure with near-zero transaction fees that are highly predictable and can be paid in any stablecoin.”

I question why some of large companies that are named here as partners would want this.

Serendipity.

I feel sorry for that guy who has zero wasted time and 0 hours of fun. What a crappy way to go through life.

You can read and understand the code in a minute. Very creative.

Before you know it will have a mushroom brain.

Fake it till you make it.

Oh the irony.

You cheapskate!!!

I’m paraphrasing an old girlfriend of mine because you gave her a substandard tip.

I’m not a big user of Uber but I need to say that the experiences there are mostly better than your grandad’s taxi (pay up for Uber X if you want a better experience). Mostly cabs were/are badly maintained and some seem downright dangerous with shocks dead, idiot lights on, smoking tailpipes and just general crappy interiors. I once got in a NYC cab where there blood all over the back of the drivers seat, got right back out. Cabbies are quarrelsome and grumpy. One guy picked me up at my house obviously drunk. I mentioned Uber to one guy who became very aggressive. Got out at the next light. Ah the good ole days.

Now for Uber. If you pay to upgrade to Uber X it’s a great experience. One time I got in the wrong Uber (not X). They said silver Nissan at station 4 at the airport in Atlanta. Got in the car and he was obviously going somewhere else than where I requested. When he realized I was the wrong passenger the driver became extremely agitated and aggressive. My bad for not checking his plate, his bad for not checking the passenger out. He was the driver so it’s really his responsibility since I may not know these things. Also I could not leave a bad review as I did not know who this driver was. Always always check you are in the right car.

All your injections are belong to us.

Serendipity.

I wrote some code in PHP for my own use and people I discussed it with were kind of off putting. It’s about the simplist way I could think of to get a web app running for my own consumption. Just php running on the command line.

Where was the pen testing?

Who is charge of security over there?

There need to be some answers, this is such an obvious and easily exploited security hole we need to ask what else is leaking from them?

Good that they fixed it quickly.

"iMessage" has dark mode. Anytime I send a picture it shows up in reverse when in dark mode.

I don't really care what other people prefer, software manufacturers with any more than a few users need to test all permutations. This is a minor annoyance but gives a clear indication that there isn't good testing even with one of the most used apps with a huge user base.
