I think the waters of “AI” have been muddied enough that you would have to give a specific definition of what it means in this discussion.

The treks to and from building C wore me out.

They have succeeded in ‘flooding the zone’ with a never ending stream of bullshit that there is never time to actually take time to figure out what they are doing and build a system to check that behavior. They just introduce a new grift and prioritization paralysis forces inaction.

I see we are putting Tahani on team insufferable.

I just get my brain worms straight from the source, Bluesky.

Figuring out how to leverage the productivity that we have to improve the productivity of those that are struggling to survive isn’t done by making our poorest suffer.

I really hope in the days and years after whatever this is that well of co-operation hasn’t been ran dry.

All these are nuanced issues that take a positive and corporative relationship to improve. Tariffs are an antiquated regressive idea centered around a zero sum view of the world.

This is why I just pay papa Bezos gobs of money. 1’s and 0’s comfort me.

They complain about gentrification because they know that plot that is currently housing 10 families is going to be demolished to house 5 wealthier families with no plan for the 10 families displaced other than ‘not here’. If developments targeted all parts of the market they would see support.

I don’t think I have a single woman between me and the CEO at my company. I’ll be on calls with 15 people… and I’m the only woman. But sure, women are taking over white collar work.

So the estimate of the 5 year lifecycle might be optimistic. Wild.

They do be boobing.

> It can’t always comply with every rule – for example, it can’t sign commits. When a repository includes rules that the agent can’t comply with, the agent is automatically disabled.

Easy win right there.

Excuse me, recovering cyclist.

AAs for that is some stone age tech. Most have rechargeable lithium. CR2032 are also very popular in bike stuff.

Deflation is bad if you want to be able to sell things. I as someone that can no longer buy things don’t give a shit what’s good for the sellers.

Burn it all down.

@katie.bzky.team is a god damn treasure and anyone going after her is wrong.

Years might be a bit too conservative there. I can agree that a lot can be gained from body weight and iso exercises but the neural drive stimulation you get from even moderately weighted movements is pretty important to improving performance. 10-15 reps is probably better for a beginner than 3-5.
