One of our dogs was rescued from Lassen. Wolf-looking husky white swiss sheppard malamute mix. Found wandering near livestock. The fence out rule adds new color.

You assume he's capable of enjoyment?

This is such a great thread because it tells you instantly how to answer the supposedly intractable regulation problem: liability, potentially joint liability, for the person who set up the AI system.

Right, the ability to produce more software more quickly doesn't automatically let operate/measure it in production at the same rate. I'm at the point where I delay writing software for some projects if no one can say who owns operations. I always volunteer (and explain what we'd be giving up).

Yes. I want more of the feeling that I watched something significant, probably missed several layers of dream logic, but was still entertained.

My strongest memory is going to the general convenience store near my office in Berkeley and buying a cheap radio because I needed to have NPR on all day to understand what had just happened.

Nice metaphor. We should assume there will be generations still to go and many false starts.

I need to read HN because I need to know what everyone else is reading. But I really want something a bit more... realistic? Is that the right word?

I mean when I ask AI about things I know deeply that are also hard, it's often wrong. I can't imagine it's different in other domains.

I mean, that's their job? At big company scale, if something isn't legible and replaceable, it's a risk. If you want autonomy, respect, and creativity, you can't do that ... unless you are also very good at politics.

Yeah, I'm getting regular pings from people who have no idea what I'm good at and who I know want unreasonable things from the role. Just no. This is a battle between labor and capital and you can't convince me I'm not labor.

A hate that this is considered radical. Treating people how you'd like to be treated is ethics 101.

Right? And imagine if instead of doing nothing, they'd taken a contrary position. I'm stuck running engineering on top of GitHub because all of the alternatives are bad and migration is expensive enough to matter. But if you sold me on future beyond "because AI"...

I too need an SRE shaped person. I know what part of my job is SRE-shaped and know I need to delegate because it's not what I should be doing (startup life) but despair of finding someone who is a combination of hands-on, system-thinking, and reliable.

I don't know. Out of all the worthless politicians, I don't think Warren is doing nothing.

A Texas school district has banned HOW LONG TIL BLACK FUTURE MONTH, along with over 1500 other books. Mine was kicked bc it's labeled for adults, which is true. But so are every one of my books, which are available in most schools. That's the only one with "Black" in the title, tho.
