Nice fairytale. You could make similar stories and replace AI with "stimulant" "SCRUM" or "learning touch typing and emacs"
There is a point in there for sure. But I'm yet to meet a Luddite IRL. It's the extent of AI use that differs and where people want to use it. I think AI can fold into "tool to solve problems and make impact" and we can focus on solving problems again and AI can be a part of that.
I’ve read some blog posts by Geoff and there’s a useful idea here but it’s surrounded by so much storytelling.
To dig up the lede: LLMs are proving useful in some instances, consider staying abreast of developments here to find ways to do a better job as time goes by. The exact nature of “better job” and the timeframe along which that reveals itself are left as exercises for the reader
My current employer is chaotic and disorganized and lacks the necessary communication to operate at its true potential; however, I do not see pure, raw Agile fixing anything. In fact, I think in our circumstances, pure Agile would just be more rope to hang ourselves with.
I remain unconvinced that the reason Agile exist is so BAs, "Scrum" masters, PMs, etc. can all justify their paychecks while bringing little to nothing of value. If I can program a computer, I am certain that I can also self-manage myself/a team. Software development is not a complicated from a business process point of view. I am not sure why all these "methodologies" need to exist.
- big bang release for the S2 app, lazy approach, do it incrementally instead!
- sonos threatened, a couple of years ago, to no longer support older speakers, what a joke
- why is there a different S1 and S2 app? is there a terse explanation of this somewhere? i really don't get this, it feels like either laziness again, or an indirect way to push people toward refreshing their hardware
The S1 and S2 split was primarily due to deciding against bricking older devices with limited system memory (32/64 MB of storage as well as memory which could only hold so much code). So, S1 is effectively a deprecated system to allow you to continue using those older players but no longer receive system updates (and music services, from what I recall, are in a "YMMV" status).
what? I mean I understand what you're saying, but literally what?
the whole point of technology is to surprise and delight customers and abstract these details away! I don't care about megablaaadywhowhos of storage or gigapoops of transfer. why are you threatening to brick my expensive hardware, and why then are you bifurcating the apps?
it's laziness and laziness at best
abstract the details away and give me the same delightful experience regardless of my hardware
I listed the largest positions accounting for majority of $ invested and majority of portfolio.
I definitely have other bets which did NOT work out; FSLY -90.58%, ZIZTF -76.81%. These were smaller bets, I'm still bag holding hoping Nightingale turns it 'round @ FSLY.
I recently exited AAPL in May, which turned out to be a poor move.
I'm definitely NOT great at picking stocks and I probably do overestimate my ability. Look at my horrible FSLY pandemic trade.
Taking direct control and responsibility has been a good learning and overall financially rewarding experience for me.
One downside of rolling it into an IRA is that you'll pay more in taxes to do backdoor roth IRA conversions every year. I think it's better to leave it in 401k if the fund options / fees are acceptable.
There's also Ubuntu Touch which I hope gathers steam. I installed it on an old Pixel 3a I had lying around mostly for fun, in much the same way I did for GalliumOS install on an old HP Chromebook.
GalliumOS is great but sadly it's no longer maintained. I think you can get most of the same benefits with a vanilla distro, but you have to be willing to do the tweaking yourself.
I installed Arch on a CB3-111 last week, and it seems to work fine. I will probably make it swap to zram, and see if I can install a better touchpad driver, but the other limitations aren't things I can fix, most importantly:
- only 4GB RAM
- no meta (windows) key, so I'm using alt as the meta key for i3
- function keys are labelled as media keys, so I have to remember which one is F1
But neither GalliumOS nor Arch are a practical solutions for schools today, unless there's an easy way to lock them down and have central management?
