I would definitely hate to be burdened with an IQ. Such a terrible thing to be born with

A pal posed the theory that Matt Wordpress acts like he got ejected from some polycule and now I can’t unsee it
I’m temporarily-boating up to Boston
It’s the parable of the drowning man turning away all help because god will save him, all over again (except it’s floods and mudslides and forest fires)
Yes we do AGIle: we ask ChatGPT what our customers want and then ask it to write software to fulfill those requirements. Every two weeks it writes up some imaginary sprint retrospective meeting notes. Planning poker doesn’t work so well, this iteration isn’t so good at bluffing yet.
The industry called it “field engineering” previously, and “customer support” prior to that; renames happened every time the execs heard how this portion of their business is only a cost center and can easily be done by chat bots (to which the customer success people would say, good luck with that).
Ok but is the orange wallpaper better in HD?
Eh, it’s destroying a common good to extract resources (landscape / minerals, electricity / numberwang). I say the shoe fits.
Cold fusion only needs another 10 years to bake, but then it’ll be awesome.
Hm, I don’t really see the sneer. They wrote a nasty bug, got notified and had a patch out for it within 36h. The remediations look reasonable too: better privacy, less firebase, actual security audits; even the bounty program is probably the right call (but they result in so many shit reports, it’s probably a wash).
I gotta admit I’m kind of partial to them and their browser? It’s the non-Brave one that ships with an Adblocker by default, has much nicer UI than the existing ones, and the sync thing isn’t half bad (if it doesn’t sync security badness to all your instances, ouch). Sure they sound like a cult but I guess that’s how browser dev gets funded since the 1990s.
I live like 15mi from there, I would prefer the containment bubble to stay intact. But the tech bubble is welcome to go blow up any moment
They added sleeps to training jobs? Sounds like they deserve a raise for improving energy efficiency instead…
