Quick PSA. Looking at you, local orgs and small businesses.

Stop using AI for your flyers & logos! They look like shit, everybody thinks so! Seriously, you’re losing business. Just make it yourself or hire a real artist.

Cognitive scientists believe that regular use of AI assistants prevents various neural connections—and thus certain brain functions—from maturing, thereby causing permanent damage to learning abilities, the development of neural networks, and the connections between different areas of the brain.

Post-mortems get written, but they rarely produce code changes, & the lessons learned in one company rarely make it to another. SW has no =lent of the National Transportation Safety Board, that investigates failures, publishes findings, & issues recommendations the industry is expected to respect.

AI as a term goes back a long way, but it's always used in one of two contexts. Either as a reference to the whole research field, including computer vision, robotics, NLP, etc Or as a term used to raise money.

Has someone in the ocaml community tried to create a modular monolith directory for a web app without struggling with cyclic dependency? Anytime I have tried to do that, I have faced cyclic dependency issues that I end up using a layered directory approach.

let me expand this. I've worked in flight safety for almost 20 years. Every regulation and rule MUST be unequivocal, clear and direct language no room for interpretation or people will sway from whats correct and people will get killed. if an LLM release a rule it would end up reviewed / rewritten
