I've been looking since March 2024. Having no reasonable options in sight, have reopened https://informationr.us/

1. Much of what Hollywood has been putting out is crap.
2. Politicians increase taxes constantly, resulting in less disposable income for potential movie-goers.
3. Ticket costs increasing - Not much can be done there, theaters do it to compensate for the loss in sales.
4. Streaming is a thing. Why go to a theater to sit in a sticky, uncomfortable seat when one can wait a little while for the movie to hit $STREAMING_SERVICE and watch it from the comfort of one's own home?

In this job search, Linked In and Dice- but MOST of my LinkedIn devolves down into one of the above quickly. The number of scammers on Linked In is truly awesome.

Ditto. I'm in ERP. So Claude's knowledge may not be as complete there as say C++, however, It's still decent. Decent enough to help me work thru issues.

I had it write a simple program for copying some settings and setting up some outputs. Stuff that's documented but is a pain to do, mistakes happen...I figured it was a good test. I worked with it for about 4 hours, starting with nothing. Explaining the changes needed and the need. Wrote a beauty of an ABAP program. Simple, complete, documented. $10. If I had to use the offshore resource. it would have been 2 or 3 days. And maybe close to what I needed? Definitely more than $10.

I'm more interested in Saving our on site, employee programmers than the offshore contractors. I'm going to have to train them correctly on using it. It can code, but stupid is a stupid does. You can hurt yourself good if you're not careful.

God, Enlightenment. That's a name I haven't heard, in a long, long time.

The ultimate endpoint of vibe-coding. No AI code is copyright-able. it's all GPL by default. That sounds like a great idea. I would support that.

You can compile it, use it, copy it, sell it, improve it, release the source...keep going...If people want to compile and use it themselves..so be it.

I was actually in college in the 1990s, but yes, a middle schooler today with python on a raspberry pi and a pretty simple GPS module could do this.

I didn't say it wasn't abhorrent or alarming. I'm presenting the scenario that this task of "defend this three dimensional coordinate box" doesn't require AI.

Yes, it did. The beacon signals weren't that good back then, neither were the sensors. I had the same problem in the fake robot battles I was involved in.

The answer turned out to be a solution not from Defense industries, but from Genie Garage Door Openers.

The robot doesn't care. The robot's job isn't foreign policy. The robot's job is "here's a box defined by this coordinate cloud, defend it"

Like I said, I programmed it for a fighting robot back in the 1990s. It ain't that complex, and with today's drone factory ships, the Navy can now output this level of AI in killbots at a rate of 10,000 a day.

Kill decisions are simple in comparison: Stay within your predefined geofence, kill anything that moves that isn't transmitting Friend beacon. We don't need AI for that, I coded a form of it in both Basic and Forth back in the 1990s.

And if they don't, some other startup will.
