While she's not wrong, saying it to graduates....Not the best idea.

It will be transformative, and not everyone will benefit. Some are getting screwed right out of the gate. The demise of the Newspaper industry seems an app comparison. That was just a little slower in its disruption. And journalists could migrate to new media outlets. But now even that is at risk. And it's not just them.

If everything that can be affected is, many entry level jobs will be gone. People with valid entry level skills can be replaced. And there are corporations already laying off people, prematurely in my opinion. The economy doesn't work if people can't make money for their work. And if the people don't have money, bad things can/will happen.

I'm currently safe in my position, currently. But I'm not taking that for granted. My experience helps me at the moment, but, you get an AI in here, let it read all our docs, and explore the system...who knows?

The best I can say to the kids currently in college, get in front of it. Learn how to use it appropriately, use it as a tool and it can help. To me just like a hammer, using it correctly, it's helpful, in correctly, you can hurt your self, ruin a project. But putting your head in the sand, and pretending it's nothing, that will hurt you.

I really think Roblox is missing the point.

Sure, age-verification might impede underage use of their product, but there are a lot of adults that understand the age-verification movement to be an invasion of their privacy. Whether or not this is true, "perception is reality".

With independents and the Big 4 there's plenty to read. And there's nothing like walking into a physical book store. It's a needed thrid space, in a way.

I invest in you, you buy from me, They invest in you, you buy from them.... and still prices go up and services go away.

The real problem is that given his rank, he would be in a position to hear things sooner than others further down the food chain. Anyone paying attention to who is doing any betting could have (or should have) asked what they might now that would cause them to place the bet they did. In this case, it boils down to an OPSEC violation, and that's illegal under any circumstance, punishable by UCMJ if not actual civilian law. The fact that the FBI are involved tells me that this guy will probably be facing UCMJ violations too (if he's lucky, court martial if he's not), and may not be a Sergeant Major any longer when the dust settles.

Curious, then, that if such a law was already passed that recently that the likes of Pelosi (and surely other members of both parties) still managed to get around it.
Congress (as a whole) acts as if their shit doesn't stink. It's high time they get reminded that it most certainly does.

I can think of four reasons ticket sales have dropped.

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?

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.

Sounds like the rules of the road were followed. This can happen and does happen daily.

Lucky kid!

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.
