The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

Exactly. There are times they, Big Pharma, fuck up, but on the whole, it's been pretty great.

The fact that everything reverts back to pre-ozempic fairly quick actually make me think it's ok. Nothing permanent looks like it's getting changed, good or bad.

Discipline has nothing to do with it. Some people's body's are just different. Willpower isn't the same, even the cravings aren't the same. I'm not going to come down on anyone anymore for losing to it. It's possible that the lucky who don't need it simply don't have the same cravings, so the willpower isn't needed. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. But we can't say. My willpower is good for 2 months, then the body stops listening. GLP-1s have let me push past that for a year. that is amazing to me. I know it's not me doing the heavy lifting, and that sits on my mind. But my heart, knees, body in general is feeling much much better.

It's like a Blood Pressure medication or any lifelong pill/shot.

I'm more eager for the pill version of Zepbound, since I already take daily meds, adding 1 isn't a big deal. The shot is easy, mostly painless, so it's not an issue. Just different from my standard procedure.

Seems like everyone reverts rather quickly. So the internal systems haven't changed; we are treating symptoms at this point. Once they can figure out the mechanism to lock in the change, that will be the most impressive part. However, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I did something similar with writing an app for my iPhone. Wasn't anything earth shattering, just little bowling game.

I tried to stay with the agent, and even reviewed what was done, offered my own corrections. It was fun to a point. Kind of like turning on cheat codes to a game.

Yeah, you can complete it sooner, but it's lacks that "I did it!" feeling. I need that. not everyone does, sometimes it's just they need the $ at the end of the line.

So to each their own I say. But if I have to maintain it, I should have an input into it's creation (vibe coded).

My tech debt right now is more than enough, from 30+ years of ERP code, I don't need Vibe code on top of that.

The state laws could be unconstitutional due to interstate commerce. However, the Feds should regulate it thoroughly. Enviromental, National Security, etc

There should be a national level effort like the Manhattan project. Companies should be working together under goverment oversight, and working toward a common goal. Maybe that will keep a AI apocalyse away for a bit. maybe protect us from it?

I know my opinion is in the minority. The future is starting to scare more than usual.

Comment Linus is correct I believe... (Score 1) 31

At this stage, we're all learning. (not that we ever stop), Vibe coding can be great for learning if the dev is taking time to understand what's being done. But I fear too many are taking the easy path and just writing a prompt and shipping. That's not safe for any environment, let alone production. Some time in the future it may be better. We'll have the proper guide rails for AI, the proper testing paths, and overall reviews. Right now isn't that time. If you want stable, efficient code, which you definitely do for Production and kernel maintenance, AI isn't ready. It's not any more ready than self-driving cars. Can they do it? Sure, would you trust them in every situation? probably not. That "Probably, not" is what gets you killed. Or Panics the kernel, or crashes the DB....etc.

Linus is a smart guy, I might not agree with everything he implements, but for the Linux kernel, I can say I never felt like he went in the wrong direction.

I'm sure this discussion will continue. It's not a once-and-done. But as newer and better coding systems come online, they'll need to be tested and verified, and eventually we may get something that passes the test. It's already miles ahead of where we were only 10 years ago. I can't predict how we'll be next year.

They'd make my life a little easier, in some respects. Shipping to EU now is a bitch. They want it all done "in continent", so selling US book version to EU markets requires a shit ton of devotion. It can be done, I've seen it recently. but it's a lot of work.

Digital? damn, no freaking production or change of ownership issues. Just 1's and 0's. Royalties, stay, billing gets simpler.

The only problem we have now is digital is growing and while the actual process is simple, the volume of it, becomes fun.

either way though I get paid. As long as people keep reading and writing. Thank you, Johannes Gutenberg!
