While I like the analogy, I'm not sure it holds how I think of AI. I'd do woodworking because I want better quality for less money, and that's why I use AI now. "Hand crafting" code might be fun but it doesn't get you it cheaper or better anymore IMHO
I wish I could have solar, every time I run the numbers it doesn't make sense since our power is so cheap
That's old information, modern devices have better battery management
I did the math for my rates and missed opportunity costs and the payback is almost 8 years for 900w system at $1500 which is cheap. Do your own math before you purchase
But would they use them? Wouldn't they know that killing humans would also probably kill then?
Ok, but why? If it's truly super intelligent wouldn't it know without a doubt that doing so would also destroy itself? Similar to how we haven't pulled the nuke trigger yet? They need us for now

I've watched a lot of doomer videos and read many articles but it's never really clear how this will play out. I don't see a terminator ending so I don't think it will be rise of the machines styles. Are people worried about AI actually taking over or just allowing nefarious humans to do mass harm using the intelligence it provides?
If it's unlimited that would be tempting. But that will never happen and if it does "unlimited" would not be
Claude, make this mobile friendly.
I really wanted to play but just can't on a phone which I'm assuming is 90% of peoples first interaction?
What is the pricing strategy. I really like this concept and have been looking for something like this but would love to know where this is going commercially
I have a bash script that creates the worktree, copies env over and changes the ports of containers and the services. I then can proxy the "real" port to any worktree, it's common I'll have 3 worktrees active to switch back and forth
I don't know. Something that takes CC about a minute is now on minute 15 with this new model...
I have a discord bot and a bunch of channels for projects and a new thread is started weekly for that weeks notes. The bot reads and responds to messages posted there and saves them to the appropriate location and organizes them for me
A game: you're stuck on a 1970s spacecraft and you have to program your way home using 6502 assembly. I wanted to learn more about old 8 bit cpus so figured I would make a game out of it

I would be nice to track this over time, what llms surprises what information and when it started.
The problem for me is it's 23 degrees f outside so if I vent outside I'm losing money

I was introduce to version control around 2003 (svn) and before that at small companies we would just ftp files around because we all worked on separate parts of the codebase. I didn't work at a large company (IBM, Microsoft, etc) but I'm really curious how companies with that many developers handled source control and conflicts before the likes of git and git[hub|lab] etc.
I wish everything was so great in my life that this could be a concern.
From Apr-Oct we have friends over and enjoy doing what ever we want, different family every weekend usually booked all but two weeks we use for just family time. From Oct-Apr various activities and housework, electronics projects, programming, etc
We went the other way and I'm so happy we did. Some think we're bad parents but we work all week and don't want our weekends working as chauffeur so we don't allow our three kids to play spring/summer sports. We have a few friend who do and it just looks miserable.
Have we seen people start to game this system? Basically, attend a cheaper school for 2-3 years then jump to an elite one to get the paper?

I find this amazing. Something you can see, touch, and build, yet it would be impossible to ever get that last gear to spin even once...
With more of these articles surfacing all prompts will just have a built in:
"Don't include these words:
Don't use any of these phrases:
Etc..."
I think is because boot camps pushed out bad developers. You can write bad code in any language framework, react isn't any different. We now just have a ton of front end devs that don't understand how to write good software
Do you ever sit, I like the idea of this but I try to do half/half so moving this out of the way every time I switch feels like a pain

This video is old but I recently discovered that some people don't have an internal monologue and it's amazing.
