@icanzilb Now considering buying a ricksaw?

Truly amazing stuff

Lake Tahoe isn’t sure where it’s power will come from after the next ski season

The area’s longtime power supplier, NV Energy, will cut off the region next year. It has said data centers are driving “unprecedented” demand.

Allow me to introduce #MLL coding, the counterpart to #LLM vibe coding. MLL (Manual Labor of Love) coding allows one to spend more time doing a thing, and lets one get better, faster, and 100% understood code.
@jasongorman @samir same as you, no worries. Either by CC, DC, Paypal, Wero (iDeal) or something else 🤷‍♂️

It really bums me out that I keep seeing blog posts from technical people like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical implications of LLMs, I'm interested in evaluating whether they can be useful for my work."

Like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical concerns of breaking into my neighbours' houses, I'm interested in evaluating whether this can be useful for acquiring other people's valuables."

Curious why AI companies are buying software companies for their software developers.

I thought LLMs do all the programming now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Developers: "We were spending all our time putting out fires in production."

Big Tech: "Would a flamethrower help?"

Fijne pi-dag!
