Learning is the point. The struggle is what produces the knowledge and skills. Using LLMs for everything shorts out that process.

Another embarrassing reason to be from this state, among many others.

As many of us people who study or work in tech tried to tell y’all, move fast & break things was always about POWER, not progress.

Nah. He uses interviews as marketing. He invested millions into Trump's campaign and destroyed key parts of the government. Every interviewer presses him on it until he stops doing interviews. No free passes.

No. But that won't stop companies from getting rid of them anyway and blame it on AI.

Yup. Can confirm based on my upbringing. If you are poor, disabled, immune compromised, an immigrant, or in a minority group , and not in the church, they don't think of you as human. And they will cheer on your death as removal of evil from the earth as they support laws to harm you.

Copilot in VS Code is the same. Spitting out huge chunks of lines every time you stop typing for even 200ms.

And yet they fail to realize that ethically training a base model that was unethically trained still makes it unethical.

In a video recorded early last week, 14th Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden honored the work performed by the Library's staff, the heart of the institution. As the caretakers of our nation’s collective history, the staff will continue to serve Congress, the American public & users across the world.

"That's illegal!", said all the Democrats on Monday morning news shows. Bonus points if they use a really strong tone and slam the desk a few times. That will show them.

Lifestyle creap isn't just about money. It's about society telling you about all of the things you 'have' to do. When, in fact, you don't.

Just saw a post on Linked by an influencer announcing the launch of a new service. The only review of the service is the exact same influencer giving a testimony based on one of his other businesses. Remarkable.

Are there even any companies out there at this point making interesting software that DOESN'T have annoying AI baked into it?

Sorry, the Wi-Fi is down. You can't play any arcade games right now. Truly just amazing progress we have made.

On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house. It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

Wrote about how, for all of the "fears" about LLMs "hallucinating," the Trump administration (and Trump specifically) is way worse in hallucinating answers every single time. www.techdirt.com/2025/04/29/t...

Taylor Swift has better OPSEC for her albums than the current administration does for attack plans.

I wouldn't click the links either. In this example I would call my State Department (or equivalent) and learn the requirements from the people who negotiate this stuff. Stop letting tech companies control access to information you can source yourself.

Can't believe we left behind the idea of buying software once and using it forever.

Microsoft Access was my first exposure to relational databases. Personal, portable, shareable, with a fixed one-time cost. The TI-82 was my first exposure to programming that wasn't web development. Personal, portable, shareable, with a one-time fixed cost.

I've been playing around with jellyfin (jellyfin.org) as an alternative to Plex Media Server. So far it's been really easy to set up and a solid alternative on mobile. Still need to test Roku.

How do we feel about the accuracy of Chrome Lighthouse? Worth anything? #dotnet

Turns out the defined process group command is essentially a Docker CMD and will supersede the Docker ENDPOINT. Confirmed this by launching 2 worker machines and 1 web app machine.

Messaging that is both informative and vague at the same time.

So you can define multiple processes in a single fly.io process group and then scale them independently. Although I'm still a little fuzzy on if a worker VM is also running a defined web app in addition to the worker process. Need to experiment. fly.io/docs/apps/pr...

Currently experimenting with a #dotnet app on fly.io utilizing SQLite + their managed LiteFS service. It's a promising way to scale SQLite in a mostly read only environment.

Hey 👋 I'm a dotnet and cloud C# dev. I post occasionally about interesting stuff I am learning. Currently getting back into the foundations of front end web development.
