I doodle incessantly. Like whole pages that are 20% notes, 80% doodles. I had a teacher in middle school who got mad because it seemed like I was constantly distracted (true) and had me stop, but then discovered it was 10x worse if I was not doing something with my hands. Meanwhile my most recent boss looked over at my pad during our first in-person meeting and said, “ah, so you have ADHD too?”

I love Technology Connections, but i do have watch at 1.75X or else it’s too long form for me.

My desk is littered with post-it notes and papers, as the act of writing something down is usually what helps to “lock” it into my memory for a time. Unfortunately due to the ridiculous number of to-dos I usually have at any given time it makes me look like some kind of crazy note-hoarder.

Keyword blocking keeps me on voyager on desktop. Unless I’m making a new post (which I don’t like the voyager interface for) and then it’s back to the web UI

In Florida it’s about 50-50

I’d be into it. But I wouldn’t be devastated if it didn’t happen.

Yes! Slip the sound board guy your discman and $20 and get a perfect recording. I remember a few times where there were a stack of discmans and walkmans (Walkman?) recording.

The main findings from the Economic Index’s first paper are:

• Today, usage is concentrated in software development and technical writing tasks. Over one-third of occupations (roughly 36%) see AI use in at least a quarter of their associated tasks, while approximately 4% of occupations use it across three-quarters of their associated tasks.
• AI use leans more toward augmentation (57%), where AI collaborates with and enhances human capabilities, compared to automation (43%), where AI directly performs tasks.
• AI use is more prevalent for tasks associated with mid-to-high wage occupations like computer programmers and data scientists, but is lower for both the lowest- and highest-paid roles. This likely reflects both the limits of current AI capabilities, as well as practical barriers to using the technology.

Interesting, not really surprising, and nowhere near as entertaining as when Pornhub does it’s annual introspection.

The “innovation” in the article is passive tech for fiber to the room (FTTR), specifically made to be low cost and easier to implement. It’s also how your computer might get that 50Gbit - it’ll have to be wired in with a fiber connection. It’s not happening over WiFi (or even Ethernet)

Neat. AI slop about AI slop.

Kinda funny how when mega corps can benefit from the millions upon millions of developer hours that they’re not paying for they’re all for open source. But when the mega corps have to ante up (with massive hardware purchases out of reach of any of said developers) they’re suddenly less excited about sharing their work.

No need to limit it to only people on social media…

Could even be his twin - that joke is from 2007, if little Bobby was in kindergarten then he’d be around 22 by now and could be trying to land his first job out of college!

😂

Yeah in that context I guess it makes sense.

I never understood people posting porn to microblogging sites. What’s the point of this? There are literally millions of other places to get porn already, it’s like what the Internet was invented for.

Yeah, the company that made the article is plugging their own AI-detection service, which I’m sure needs a couple of paragraphs to be at all accurate. For something in the range of just a sentence or two it’s usually not going to be possible to detect an LLM.

I think he’s pragmatic in the “whatever tool gets the job done” sense, but not in the “this is the job we should be doing” sense — if that makes any sense :)

I have a hard time understanding facebook’s end game plan here - if they just have a bunch of AI readers reading AI posts, how do they monetize that? Why on earth is the stock market so bullish on them?

Just have kids of your own. Then suddenly you’re consumed by their baby->childhood->high school->college playthroughs, which can keep you from staring into the void for another 20-30 years.
