AI used well makes you faster, not lazier. Feed it stack traces, let it draft scripts, use it to learn. But stay in the loop. The moment you stop looking at the output, you're a spectator, not a professional. Here's a few examples that work for me.

Responsible Use of AI to Gain Personal Efficiency
I've been warning about the dangers of AI a lot lately. And I stand by all of it. But I realized that I've been painting an incomplete picture. Because AI, used well, is genuinely useful. So let me try the other side for a change. The key question isn't whether to use AI. It's how. And the answer, as always: it depends!

London Pub is one of Norway's oldest and most famous LGBTQA+ pubs/nightclubs, so it makes a bit more sense than “just some random pub”.

Pardon the sudden intrusion, but I just want to inform that it is possible to create a Google account without signing up for Gmail. It's just "conveniently" shoved in a corner in the webpage.

I keep reading diatribes about how you must trade off quality for development speed, so I thought I'd write my own diatribe :-). This speed vs. quality dichotomy is absolutely false. Buggy code is hellish to work on. 1/7

If I remember correctly there was some really cool twists with Valen, Sinclair, a the War Without End. Really good stuff. Too bad they messed things up with rapidly wrapping things up at the end of season four, just to change their minds and renewing for another season after all 🤦‍♂️

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

Nothing wrong with wanting to talk to people. Everything wrong with framing their not wanting to talk to you, as some kind of failing on their part, and speaking with disdain about the expression you feel they've pasted on their face. The concept of consent is still kicking some of y'alls behinds.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

My 2028 (or thereabouts) prediction; “US 2025, The Fall of a Nation” (or something very similar) will be the best selling book or documentary of the year. Alternative titles: “How the end started” “The destruction of a democracy” “Fast Forward Fascism” “‘Merica uber allés” “How the West was Lost”

If you focus on now, you will tomorrow have a better yesterday. But, if you are aware of yesterday and already think about tomorrow (or next year), you might also make better decisions today.

Time – the forgotten dimension
Over time your mental model evolves. With your next bit of information your model improves one step further. But that's not the aspect of time I want to talk about. The system at hand gets older, time passes by, bits and pieces of the system change. That's the aspect of time I want to talk about. Time is a very important dimension in your mental models.
