What you're actually going to see is seniors inundated by slop and burning out and quitting because what used to be enjoyable solving of problems has become wading through slop that took 10 minutes to generate and submit but 30+ minutes to understand and write up a critique for it.

I think that's overly generous. OpenAI already has a track record of going back on what they say with the whole non-profit/for-profit thing.

I give it a year with how fast they're lighting cash on fire.

As someone who lives near a school I can say school buses are very much a necessity and they are getting modernized. I see an electric one consistently going through the neighborhood. And I much prefer them to hundreds more cars or pedestrians going through the neighborhood (people drive like maniacs through the residential streets here).

Essential as in "the essence of" not as in "necessary".

It wouldn't have been budget-neutral without a bunch of tax increases along with it which they don't have the spine to implement.

Yeah, the graphs make some really big assumptions that don't seem to be backed up anywhere except AI maximalist head canon.

There's also a gap in addressing vibe coded "side projects" that get deployed online as a business. Is the code base super large and complex? No. Is AI capable of taking input from a novice and making something "good enough" in this space? Also no.

Our pest control put in a bucket called In2Care that has a little net with some powder suspended above the water - mosquito lands on the net, gets the powder on 'em, carries it to the next site and that site gets neutralized. They're designed for commercial campuses but for ~$200/yr it's well worth it for residential also.

They do take a while to take effect, and they do take maintenance, but my experience so far is that they're super effective.

I have a cousin with DS. You have to be committed and have the means to raise a child with extreme needs. Many of them will live with their parents their entire lives and will not develop cognitively beyond their tweens (hence the Britney Spears anecdote above). The ones that do move out tend to have to go to a place that specializes in assisting them. They can also have pretty extreme health issues.

Yes, they can be beautiful people that bring light to others around them, but those others also don't typically get exposed to the behind the scenes struggles of the entire family to cope with this.

Some people are prepared to do this; I don't judge the ones that decide they're not. I would hate for someone to go into it not understanding what they're signing up for.

You can pop the handle off that Ridgid one and there's a hex bit you can hook up to your existing drill. It's admittedly a bit wonky to operate like that, but for a single family home it's mostly workable.

To add on to this I like things organized as: - things you need my action on - things you need my input on - things you think I need to be aware of that may need my input/action later

You haven't mentioned which hard skills you've already mastered.

* Abstract reasoning - everything in programming is abstraction

* Critical thinking - is the first way you've thought of to solve something actually an optimal way? how could you improve it?

* Problem decomposition - solve large problems by breaking them down into smaller component problems

* Multiprocessing/multithreading and IPC - at some point one process/thread isn't enough

* Networking fundamentals - may not contribute directly to better programming per se but will for sure help with debugging/troubleshooting

It's Go. 25% of the code is just basic error checking and returning nil.

From a consumer standpoint, yes.

From a company-who-abuses-best-by-dates-to-sell-more-product standpoint it's very controversial.

It's not about confusion/clarification it's about legal definition. Currently, because there's no legal definition around it, companies can throw any arbitrary date on a "best by" label on a product. And what we've found is that it's being abused as an artificially short faux expiration date to drive consumers to discard the still-fine-to-consume product and buy another one. This is good for the company who increase their sales but bad for pretty much everybody else because it increases food waste and the energy/resources that were consumed to create it.
