Starting to think the real risk is not AI replacing junior staff, but senior staff quitting because they just can’t take this AI bullshit any longer and just opt for early retirement.

@selea you said preferably rack mountable, but everyone's suggesting N150 mini PC?? Check out Dell PowerEdge R430, used...not going to be more expensive than a new mini PC, and often comes with free DDR4 RAM

@joeress You’re not missing anything.

I’ve used Claude professionally since about Oct last. I’ve manually written very little code since.

But I spend an inordinate amount of my time reviewing the output and issuing more prompts to fix things, and then reviewing again.

I was impressed at the start, but now I view it as a random bug generator. And it’s making me lazy as a coder.

So where’s the upside? I’m not sure there is one :-)

@ehmatthes For the electric guitar, I plan to only use an audio interface and DAW software on the computer, and a pair of Sennheiser headphones. I'm a total noob when it comes to electric instruments. My budget is about $1000 CAD for the guitar itself. Maybe one day I will pick up some amps and speakers second hand

If you are in the Toronto, Canada, area on Thursday 12 March, why not spend the afternoon (15:45-17:30 EDT ) at a panel discussion on the history of academic computing in Canada? Hosted by York University, APL is likely to feature – their “York APL” implementation helped spread APL’s academic use in the 1970s. Reserve your place at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/computing-at-york-the-beginning-tickets-1983888703517 #Dyalog #APL #HistoryOfComputing
Computing at York: the Beginning

Exhibit features York computer artifacts, archival photos, and vintage hardware, highlighting early campus computing and its evolution.

@ehmatthes I used to play classical guitar when I was a kid. Never got used to acoustic guitar due to steel strings. Now in my 30s, I want to pick up an electric guitar, so I can play in the evening without disturbing my family.

The number of infosec folks who are gung-ho about dropping openclaw agents onto their private machines (because *of course* corp does *not* allow those on corp devices) is astonishing.

And by "astonishing", I mean "seriously concerning". As in: we're fucked, this cannot end well.
