Yeah, I used my psp as my original navigation system. You had to teather a stand alone Bluetooth GPS to it, and download your routes ahead of time. But it worked, and I used it to travel across the country.

These boots taste great.

I wept a bit for Stephen Hawking. He was a rare, special human. When I read what was written on his grave, there next to Newton and Darwin: “Here lies what was mortal of Stephen Hawking 1942 - 2018” I wept a bit. Still do. Did a bit more just now writing that to be honest.

I think that’s exactly where they were aiming with the small finger stuff. They want kids in factories again.

No, you don’t.

It’s can’t be reached by any client, only clients on machines logged into your tail scale network.

They’re super conservative. I rode just once in one. There was a parked ambulance down a side street about 30 feet with it’s lights one while paramedics helped someone. The car wouldn’t drive forward through the intersection. It just detected the lights and froze. I had to get out and walk. If we all drove that conservatively we’d also have less accidents and congest the city to undrivability.

This is hard to quantify. I use them constantly throughout my work day now.

Are they smarter than me? I’m not sure. Haven’t thought too much about it.

What they certainly are, and by a long shot, is faster. Given a set of data, I could analyze it and pull out insights and conclusions. It might take me a week or a month depending on the size and breadth of the data set. An LLM can pull out insights and conclusions in seconds.

I can read error stacks coming from my code, but before I’ve even read the first few lines the LLM has ingested all of them, checked the code, and reached a conclusion about the necessary fix. Is it right, optimal, and avoid creating other bugs? Like 75% at this point. I can coax it, interate on the solution my self, or do it entirely myself with the understanding of the bug that it granted me. This same bug might have taken hours to figure out myself.

My point is, I’m not sure how to compare smarter vs orders of magnitude faster.

You put your flesh under there!?

I get what you mean, I do the same, it just sounded weird.

How do you open a jar? Oh, I just use my hand meat.

Is comic rack still the standard software for comics?

And can reproduce the whole business in a weekend with the help of AI. There are no moats anymore.

If your dust analogy stands, why do you clean your ass? The poop is just going to come back.

I’m obviously not suggesting you stop cleaning your ass, but rather reassess how you see necessary regular menial tasks.

Nobody likes them, but they are what they are. Regular and necessary. You can even start to like them by meditating on task itself, and by expressing gratitude towards the conclusion, which in this example is a nicer cleaner space to live.

That’s often what I ask chatgpt for. "For a béarnaise what’s the milk flour ratio? "

I’m a capable chef, I want to get straight to the specifics.

False.

I use them hundreds of times daily. I’m 3-5x more productive thanks to them. I’m incorporating them into the products I’m building to help make others who use the platform more productive.

Why the heck should I not use them? They are an excellent tool for so many tasks, and if you don’t stay on top of their use, in many fields you will fall irrecoverably behind.

Tell me you’re not using them without telling me you’re not using them.

Who else is going to aggregate those recipes for me without having to scroll past ads a personal blog bs?

Alcohol.

I married her.

Like I said, their little ceremonies.

I’ll go out on a little limb, it might be sales specific. My company is 100% work from home. All the engineers and product and design work remote, maybe come into the office once a week just because.

The sales team however is strongly encouraged to come in as much as possible. I think it’s a morale thing. Sales teams become these weird cults, maybe necessarily. It’s really hard to pick up the phone and make a call when you’ve been rejected 5 times in a row. The teams little ceremonies are designed to help push through that.
