Al is a pretty good guy but he can’t be everywhere. Maybe he can use some A.I. to help!

Yes, and that’s exactly what everyone forgets about automating cognitive work. Knowledge or skill needs to be intergenerational or we lose it.

If you have no junior developers, who will turn into senior developers later on?

Hyperbole, I think.

It was off, it’s LTT. It was intertainment with some interview.

Still, L.T. had fascinating things to say, and a refreshing down-to-earth outlook on things like data storage (keeps no files really, just uploads to git and lets others worry about whether it’s worth saving or not), a.i. (important, somewhat inevitable, overblown hype, horrible business practices), and how he geeks out playing with hardware designs for things that are completely out of his expertise so it’s low stress (e.g. guitar effect pedals but he doesn’t play).

Idiomatic usage of ‘intuitive’ regarding interfaces breaks down into

1. ‘familiar’, so, confusing intuition with knowledge, or

2. ‘discoverable’, which is more accurate and describes things like icons and tooltips and menus, where the rules of usage become more or less apparent with exploration and logic.

It’s like living on a busy road. People adjust, while life degrades.

The article addresses this. Data must be fresh to be valuable. Yes old data can be useful, but can it be sold? That’s the main vulnerability to surveillance capitalism that hiding exploits.

Consider this: every record I play has a faint recording of the room, every time it has been played, since no turntable or cartridge is perfectly isolated, and, being diamond rubbing against vinyl, will leave some trace of the room sound behind.

It’s the underlying crux of the entire series, and even Foundation too. The Zeroeth law requires a massive war to develop it and still doesn’t solve the problem.

Usually just air quotes right. Well since people caught on to the ‘echo’ dog whistle of 3 brackets some racists moved to quotes too. I was just checking, so nvm, don’t let them try to steal that the way they did with the ok hand gesture.

No no, after initial degradation, the battery health levels off and stays around 90% for a long while, generally.

My ICE vehicles are maintained but don’t have the new car fuel efficiency either. I wouldn’t be surprised to find they have lost 15% since they are pretty old.

Recent research shows that batteries are likely to outlast the body of most EVs, if the battery is not abused.

Also, people overestimate the typical daily range used with the primary or secondary vehicles, but even short range EVs cover the average daily drive for most.

Just for Leafs and some of the short range compliance cars like Golfs that don’t have active thermal management of the battery. The old SparkEV batteries are following the expected curve mostly: about 10% loss in the 8yr warranty period, followed by relative plateau of slow degradation mitigated somewhat by its overprovisioning. Hyundai and Kia etc. batteries should be fine, for example.

Telemetry is just as much a problem though.

I bought glasses recently and, like the dork I am, loudly complained about trying to find a pair that didn’t have advertisements in the form of logos on the arms. Since they aren’t discounted as compensation for fluffing their marketing department, and all that.

Clerk said ‘yeah they actually charge more for the stupid name’ and shoppers laughed so people mostly know but comply. The supply chain is perverse, ok. Life is full of struggle so the small ones slide.

Ah, OK then someone needs to tell you that the 3 quotes lately has been used by white supremacists as a dog whistle for jewishness, especially referring to economic control.

A chicken is a vegetable that can count and ask for hugs.

Krill were my first choice, squids might be up there too, but the word ‘species’ instead of a more broad taxonomic term is a special limit.

Mushroom = sex organ of alien invaders

I don’t understand your nonsense… you must be a fish.

Cuttlefish are molluscs. Smart mussels then!
