That's a lot of asterisks for a gotcha. We need universal healthcare yesterday. We are barbaric.

Sure, but it's hard to imagine, say, Robin Williams or Tom Hanks bringing the same energy to the role. I also have to imagine that after the first season, the loop closed a bit, and the writers started writing JLP with Patrick Stewart in mind. Few people are as synonymous with a role as Patrick Stewart with JLP.

In your analogy, it is more like you know a great hot dog place in Chicago that has been around for decades, then the original owner dies, his kids take over, and it is bought out by private equity. The hot dog obit would be as much for the original creator as the hot dog itself.

No it's not.

If you drove a Volkswagen and wore Hugo Boss in the 1940s, people would rightly wonder if you were literally a Nazi.

If I see you driving a new Tesla, especially a Cybertruck, I just assume you are fine with pedophilia and fascism.

I robbed the bank illegally.

But the car I bought with the money was totally legal.

wait, are you saying you don't allow comments? Is that not bonkers?

Devil's advocating here... is human code deterministic and reproducible? If I am assigned some non-trivial task, and write it twice with a week in-between, the code is not going to be identical, though it will meet the requirements. Or, if you give 3 different senior devs the same task on the same day, they will all be different, but still meet the requirements. What is different about asking an LLM to write code?

If I am reading a blog post written by an MD about medical advice or whatever, then their next post is extolling the virtues of alchemy, it IS going to make me question everything else they have said, regardless of their professional credentials. Like, maybe you are able to encapsulate and separate the real from the pseudo-science, but it at least welcomes closer scrutiny.

yeah, I'm going to need a citation for this

Yes it is.

If you do local sync, can you work with the files directly? I.e. if I don't want to upload to garmin connect, can I just tell Claude to use an API or reverse engineer the files? I've had a venu 4 for a few months, and finished my connect+ trial, and want to setup my own analytics.

I did a college visit there in 1998, and finding the Onion on campus was a deciding factor in realizing I could live there for 4+ years.

Interesting, the calendar2 has a header that says "Designed to Delight", and the new apple page says "Delight Up the House". That CAN'T be a coincidence...

"One X, Twelve Y"

If you don't care enough to write it, I don't care enough to read it. Will be checking out the Hyman book though.

I'm so curious about this; it is nearly universal that software engineers threaten this. I constantly tell my colleagues that I am quitting to start woodworking in a cabin in British Columbia.

My theory is that we are comprised of people who love building and making things, yet at the end of the day we don't have anything tangible to show. Like, my parents (nearing 80 years old) barely understand what I do or how software engineering works, though they are computer-literate. Going back 2 generations and it is incomprehensible magic. But, if I built a cabin or a cabinet or a wooden spoon, I could have a meaningful conversation about it with someone from the last Ice Age (language barriers aside). Maybe it is just staring at a screen 8 hours+ per day leaves the ancient part of the brain wanting.

I would agree with you, if we taxed the ever-living fuck out of AI companies to enable UBI, so that the people replaced with robots did not end up homeless.
