Saw a woman on TikTok who said she quit corporate at age 46 to become a beekeeper because “I would literally rather get stung by 10,000 bees than write ‘per my last email’ again” and you know what? I respect that

Being a computer scientist who refuses to find anything about LLMs interesting right now is a bit like being a geneticist who refuses to find anything interesting about the recently opened Jurassic Park

Long term rationale for expenditure is so hard to find. If you’re accustomed to forecasting that labour day-to-day, having a comparatively significant hit to the bottom line of today by introducing that conveyor is unjustifiable. It’s hard to rationalise the long-term savings in short-term costings

Has anyone done any market research on the affect of AI usage on open-source projects? Is it a loud minority that would avoid a dependency that uses AI, or is this the overriding opinion?

I have a horrible habit of typing my response into the message box, but not sending it, then still marking it as responded mentally. Do not expect a response from me. For reasons unclear to me I wrote it but did not press send.

Yeah I’m planning to keep my combi boiler as well. The UK does have a £2.5k grant for air-to-air heat pumps now but it’d cost me more than that to figure out what to do with my radiators and how to heat my running water!

Feel this. I plough on until my brain says “I’m selling myself short” for whatever reason that may be, and then go elsewhere. I have a surprising income for someone my age (something I’m privileged & grateful for!) and I’m just in it while it’s fun and while I know instinctively I’m making my worth.

Looking forward to going back into the workshop tomorrow.
UK weather map showing Ireland and Britain shaded in deep orange and red under an ‘Extreme Heat’ warning. Overlaid labels replace temperature warnings with swearing: ‘FUCK’ over Scotland and Ireland, ‘HOLY FUCK’ over northern England, ‘FUCK SAKE’ over Wales/Midlands, and ‘FUCK THIS’ over southeast England. Caption at bottom reads ‘Mon / Tues’. Basically the entire map is panicking.

Make It Myself xkcd.com/3233/
Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour of work to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.

It's Bounce House season.
A bounce house with razor sharp teeth and tentacle wings flying off the ground. A family runs away in terror. The father shouts, "it's taking flight! The son shouts to the family dog, "Sparky! Wait for us!" Sparky shouts back in perfect human language, "Nope!" The text reads: Never use a bounce house if it's windy. Wind speed should be no more than 15 to 25 miles per hour. Make sure your bounce house is properly staked and anchored on a flat, even surface.
