As a manager of 4, I now get 20x the AI slop PRs I have to read through and try to convince the developers they're doing it wrong. AI use has made my job way more exhausting and while productivity increased, it's fairly obvious that understanding has not. Even my most senior team members turn their brains off and become meat proxies.

I have to keep reminding them "I don't care what Claude found, I care what you think about it and how you're personally going to own a fix for it".

They run Claude it makes a PR and even if you pay close attention, no one knows what a PR someone else wrote as well as the person who wrote it.

I used to be near a local shop (i moved and need to find a new one) I could get some from, otherwise I've ordered from Amazon or Newegg in the past.

Thanks for the reminder to order new batteries for one of mine and one of my parents UPS's.

Let's be fair, You always have to kill the buzzer. Like, it's the first option I look for on a UPS. And I have ripped them out of lesser ones. I know the power is out, I don't need a buzzer/beeper. And I've got the thing monitored with automatic shutdowns.

Dang, I'm old.

Have a plan for something you'll do if you can't sleep. Nothing exciting, and nothing overly interesting or complicated.. do laundry/fold clothes, organize something, etc.

And consistently hold yourself to a steady bedtime and routine.

What kinds of things do you do using it as a daily? OS?

I dabble with my home lab Kubernetes cluster and various linux machines. I've got a 486 with a 17" Trinitron, Model M keyboard and my original serial "burled walnut looking" logitech mouse. It's got a BlueSCSI in it now. I also have an LC III I'm working on restoring. Both have network cards so I am able to do all my Linux-y things from there!

Happy clacking!

Honestly, I'd give him cash because I'm sure Uber would find some way to take their cut. Say it's to cover credit card charges or processing fees or something.

I wouldn't qualify it as a Gen Z thing. As a Xennial, I have a quite a few Gen Z coworkers and most of them actively talk about recipes and meals they're making and they are not just slapping some Mac and Cheese together and calling it. Some of the meals they're talking about cooking are fairly advanced. At least two have dedicated pizza ovens and make their own dough. A number of them are cooking involved multi-course meals I'd never have tried until I was in my late 30's... Hearing their recipes and such I'm fairly impressed on a regular basis.

I think it's more related to experience and available time and CASH. One of them has fallen a bit back into hello fresh, a few times a week, but they just had a kid, so no blame there.

I average about 7 yrs between phones. But that's mostly due to software needing more ram or storage than I've got available and finally giving up.

The GKC is definitely a point of confusion, but I'd argue it's better to have it... it's currently the only way to resell a game that can't fit on a cartridge.

Profit could be defined differently than just money. If I can use tools to make more food easier and faster, so my village can eat and better prepare for famine, is that profit?

If so, AI efficiency gains would mean we would need to employ fewer people to keep outputs the same. This could mean more unemployment or more companies doing different things, likely overlapping causing competition but potentially more waste.
