I used Claude to code something. The thing is, it happilly creates the code, which looks quite professionally, and is soooo positive about itself. Then you try to run it, which ofcourse doesn’t work. Next you feed it the error messages and it very very happilly fixes those bugs, all while being very fond of itself. After a few rounds of that, the code actually runs and does something.

Now I can get that it doesn’t work from the first try, ours won’t be 100% correct either, but the mistakes it makes tend to be because it mixes information of different versions of libraries.

And why is the damn thing so fond of itself? Everything it does it find “perfect”.

The trick is to start an online business using AI and earn enough money to offset the extra hardware cost caused by AI use.

If your accound is permabanned, can you even buy any Reddit Gold?

it’s a question of whether you can restore a botched system with a few commands and in a realistic amount of time.

A few years ago my employer was the victim of randsomware. We’re speaking here about a massive network and all sorts of databases and services build on top of those, spanning decades and many different technologies. Basicly several thousand employees and a decade long focus on working digital and automation. Data restoration was not an issue. I haven’t heard of anyone losing data.

However, restarting all the services was not as easy. Many of these depended on each other and there were some circular dependencies that have grown organicily over the years. Took about two months to restore core functionality (mostly SAP and email) and many more months to restore all sorts of support services that were required for normal day-to-day work. Two years after the incident the last applications were back online.

I wanted to make a reference to the Midas touch, but the Cheetos touch has a strong icky feeling to it.

but an open-hardware device running a FOSS AR system? Until these display my health, ammo and the direction to my next objective, I’ll pass.

Given the national climate, people were not only glad to have a Democrat come to their door,

To be fair, based on who’s going door-to-door these days, that isn’t that much of an achiement. Still, each time I read one of these victories, it does make me smile.

To be honest, I expect things to get a lot worse after the midterms. I think people still feel like it’s something they can do to change things, but after that I won’t be surprise to see a lot more of this from both sides.

Exactly, investigate everything even if it takes, say, 3 years.

Easy, just tape a lot of mops around your firebomb. That way, the mops absorb the sprinkler water and keep it from extinguishing the fire. Ofcourse you’d need asbestos mops as normal ones burn up by the firebomb. Another option is to pack a layer of those tiny cocktail umbrellas around the bomb.

Anyway I’m sure both are available from your local Acme store.

Don’t worry, after the immigrants they’ll have plenty of room to “help” the poor and the homeless.

Next they’ll exclude anyone whose current hair color doesn’t match their official one.

Well, it’s quite obviously actually. Alot of MAGAs are farmers and those are known for getting up very early in the morning. I’m just saying the line is long and they were first in line.

I don’t know, but if you don’t get the message after 30 seconds of hellfire…

There is one benefit to this. If you’re talking to a women at a bar and the people around you starting to move away, you know you’re crossing some lines.

None of us can be trusted to act responsible with a personal fire thrower.

Best to avoid at the gas station.

Remember when we burned people at the stake? Whatever happened to that?

Climate change and the rising cost of fuels is what happend.

I see a clear correlation between the decline of tar-and-feathers and riding people out on a rail and the rise of terrible business practices.

Morphine is fine, but please do not put the brain into a robotic spider suit and especially do not add a machine gun to said robotic spider suit.
