  • Absolutely agree.

    From what I understand of out pilot, most of what the users ended up using it for was pregenerating scripts that are effectively “copy > paste > tweak” dozens if not hundreds of times but can’t be automated for one reason or another and then quickly checking the script for errors, as opposed to your pm/eng use cases, but I believe your sentiment holds true.

    I don’t use LLMs because I personally do not like them, so I don’t really know where someone might think they fit best inside a workflow. But I can very easily see my self spending half an hour trying to get the perfect result by prompting rather than spend 10 minutes doing it myself because I tend to basically put on blinders once I start a task.


  • I don’t use AI tools when I code (my work IDE is way too old & I prefer it that way), but elsewhere where I work they did a pilot of people trying Cursor for a number of months.

    What they found was that it was useful as a first step in the process, but almost always required being checked by hand afterwards. Another thing was that “code efficiency” changes fell between 10% faster and 30% slower, averaging overall ~20% slower. But almost all participants reported feeling like they’d improved by 20% faster. It made them feel like they were working faster than they were, even though it seems to have been actively hindering them.






  • Just weighing in as a reformed Marvel fan and lifelong Star Wars fan: I started keeping local copies of that shit almost a decade ago and recommend to anyone I know to do the same. You never know when a streaming company might decide that it is no longer worth the bandwidth to host it, or if the rights will be transferred to a new service that I won’t already have (i.e. all ot them). If you genuinely enjoy almost any media in the modern era you need to have a local copy, because if you don’t some corporate entity may just decide to make it lost media on a whim because it becomes only moderately profitable.



  • I used to play this game so much in high school. Like, for at least an hour a day (when I should have been paying attention in class). Never had an undo button, made it to 16384 once. I have never even considered using a snaking pattern, I always did one side & top (so all rows increased or decreased in the same direction, as opposed to in alternating direction). That is so smart.

    I might be wrong in this, but I’m pretty sure it’s exceedingly rare for Iran to directly fire missiles at Israel, it’s usually Iran-supplied proxies doing it (such as Hezbollah). It’d be like making the argument that anyone at war with a US backed nation/faction has a carte blanche to attack America
