I have a small group of PawPaw trees in my yard, but I haven't gotten them to fruit in the three years I've lived here.

The big issue is they're pollinated by flies, and it's a bit of a pain putting the labor in to attract the flies and help them out.

When every interaction is valuable parasocial was been demonstrated to hook users and increase revenue.

Gemini 3.5 flash lite is all I use.

>A lot of people seem to be realizing that knowledge work is mostly pointless. AI might give us the pleasure of finding out what happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers.

The pleasure...

As a code monkey generative ai helps grow my skills daily, and all I have to do is read the code.

> How easily will a motivated 10 year old work around them?

Not very easily if they're implemented across their networks and devices.

> Fairly sure there aren't any of these where I live. People cannot and will not move for a different ISP (WTF :-) ).

For ISP you can use your own firewall, install the millions of filters etc.

> It's killed newspapers, so it should replace them. Social media should be legally liable for everything ANY user posts

You're absolutely of base, every media source I'm aware of leverages social media to continue driving traffic to their own sites. Do you have any idea how insane this is when you're dealing with a world of jurisdictions and different definitions of "truth"? You'd rather regulate the platform then the people who abuse it because... i'm assuming you just hate the platform is successful and doesn't behave how you think they should.

Is your argument the entire world should make your parenting easier or they should be punished?

Parent your kids.

There are countless services to block content you don't want.

There are dedicated ISPs and cell phone providers that block content you don't want.

Quit thinking that government regulation & registration are the only ways to prevent children from accessing objectionable content.

Removing internet anonymity as a rule will do far more harm than good. Just because the people you agree with are driving the boat right now, there is no guarantee they will be in charge for long.

Edit: once again the government nanny staters get upset when someone brings up personal responsibilities. Just because it's hard doesn't mean you have to have a government (under the threat of violence) make it easier for you. Has everyone forgotten that social media isn't a right or a requirement for existence? You and your family can just not engage with it.

Why?

I thought we all knew infrastructure was going to be the product, not the models.

Spoken like someone who hasn't really done drugs.

This might be taken as hyperbolic, but the EU seems to have trouble building anything.

Thanks for sharing. I made a post earlier on bluesky describing my random setup on 32gb M2 studio. I'd love feedback. I'm a monkey and if I don't see I can't do.

1. I don't want to use Jira. I don't think this is complecated enough to justify it.

2. That might not have been a bad idea. There is a registration link and the app is fully functional. If you don't trust that though you can spin up a local with docker in 3 minutes. (check the readme)

Just for my own understanding, you're not insinuating China isn't violating international sanctions to purchase oil at a discount?

Unless china is importing sanctioned oil from.... Iran, Russa, and Venezuela at discounted rates.

I think this has been the crux of many allegations against China. They don't operate fairly in global markets.

Depends, I just want to point out that the US is a net exporter of Oil. They also secured oil imports from Venezuela while at the same time in 2 strokes seriously hurt Chinese oil imports.

If the goal was to hurt China / BRICS and kneecap Iran it seems on point.

It's always hard to predict how the USA will vote when "war" is happening.

No

The real victims here are going to be the graphic designers who worked for firework importers.

> No parameters with their unpleasant ?&= syntax.

I'm sorry what? URL params are just a thing.

we're talking about the threat of regulation not "must abide by their laws" thing.

It's common in the EU that if you don't do what they say they threaten to put regulations that compel you, but it's still different. it's a threat not a reality. That's the issue my dude.

Of course they do. We gave the DHS (and any other government agency) far too much power and they flex it.

We have so many agencies that can regulate businesses to death without any congressional intervention that it would be beyond idiotic to stand against them.

Not to mention that it's been proven again and again that the American populations attention span is far too short to do anything meaningful about the aforementioned powers / abuses.

Maybe it's age, or the attention I've paid to the erosion of liberties post 9/11. but is this headline a surprise to anyone?

source or evidence of this?

I love that you're lamenting a CIA website closure as a step toward dystopia... 10/10

It could be as simple as budget changes.

My current boss is an ex CTO of IBM, and tbh he's proof that more people should have been fired for buying an IBM.

Unrelated to the convo you make some very valid points. I just absolutely detest that saying xD

This is what I want to be true, but as someone’s at the middle of their career I’m terrified.

You’re forgetting the companies that already had developers.

Whose job had been maintaining a single internal system but had never had the bandwidth to expand their focus.

Companies like that are the ones spending millions a year for large one size fits all SaaS products.

Tbh I think you’re fundamentally misunderstanding the issue (or I am).

It’s not about some single dude disrupting the saas market. It’s about largish companies who already have internal dev teams, slowly weening their company off these ginormous one size fits all saas products and building local, tailored solutions.

It’s death by a thousand cuts from the erosion of their highest paying customers.
