That's what they do when they can 😉 Reality is problematic, as you also observed. I am a member of a probably-insane group trying to improve things via openEHR, FHIR, goat blood, black magic.. you name it. Sorry if you already know this stuff. I didn't mean to lecture.

It is 2025 and the first key you press when Windows displaying the lock screen is not typed into the password box that is displayed in response. I curse for every redundant key stroke I have to perform.

Indeed. I work in healthcare, and it is such a strong phenomenon: when it comes to processing information, clinicians work via "unite and conquer," engineers work via divine and conquer. Chaoes ensues.

There are two ways to write code that works but you have no idea how. Stochastically, using an LLM, or deterministically using an ML variant.

I say a lot of bad things about the javascript/css driven Web UI stacks, but then I go back and check out how Uno/Blazor/Avalonia is going, and you know what? JS won. It does not matter if we like it or not. For the Web UI, JS won.

AI has also given politicians a golden, shiny can to put things in and kick down the road. Just say that all the holes in your policy and logic will be filled by AI.

I think the model ExpertsExchange tried can have a second chance: being nice and attempting to help with answers in exchange for a share of the revenue. No one thought we'd pay for search 5 years ago, and here is Kagi, which I'm happily paying for.

Re all that being said about StackOverflow dying, yes LLMs played a part, but how the moderation was done and the culture that formed mainly around moderation, which then extended to comments and discourse in general also played a part. LLMs do not judge or patronise.

Re the so called Brexit reset (which is not, at all), the so called wins are not diluting Brexit as some suggest. They're just plastering over the massive harm it has done. Using the e-gates? Give me back my freedom to live and work in any EU country, and I'll accept a 2 hr wait every time.

Ok, now people are using AI to write their emails, which takes mere seconds for the LLM to spit out. I then have to spend an hour to respond to all the horseshite it produced. I'll have to start asking people not to do this.

If it can not deliver the wild promises thrown around, it may replace 90% of the CEOs making those promises too. Just saying 😉

Why do we have to pay for access to European Standards? Are they not funded by European taxpayers? Assume it is to ensure non European parties do not have access them for free, but isn't the point of standards to ensure as many parties as possible align/comply with them? Why hide them then?

A sensible tear-down of the impossible promises policies which became mainstream globally. However, similar to others it fails to be infuriating because it just refuses to mention how much of the intractable problems that feed these policies are down to Brexit. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

I've been using Kagi for a week now instead of google. No problems, no disappointments re usefulness of results compared to google. I am paying for starter, but I know that I'm not the product here and that, to my surprise, matters a lot to me now than it would just a few years back.

A great test of one's willingness to remain sane is the "but it wasn't done properly" brigade Regardless of how obviously spectacularly bad the idea was, it failed because it wasn't done properly. He jumped off a cliff and died? Well, he obviously didn't jump properly, isn't it?

The thing about software is, no matter how absurd an idea coming from another dev sounds to you, there's always at least one other dev to find it sensible and plausible and at least one other to say they did it and it worked. Just remember life is a blip and move on.
