In the next few decades we may develop AI that can automate ~all cognitive tasks and dramatically transform the world.

lol

Stack Overflow has a whole network of Q&A sites. There’s places to post and answer puzzles, code golf, ask physics or political questions, etc. Lots of useful stuff not many people know about

This is a huge reason for the question decline! All the easy stuff has been answered, the knowledge is already there. But people are so used to infinite growth that anything contrary = death lol

People also blame ai, but if people are going to ai to ask the common already answered questions then… good! They’d just get hurt feelings when their question was closed as a dupe

Alarm clock

They can vibe as much as they want, but don’t ever ask me to touch the mess they create.

If you’re into game dev or retro games in general, Dev Game Club is a small podcast where the hosts play old games and discuss their design + influence on games that would come later. I don’t think they even have a patreon lol

We try to clean ours every time and got a few little boat things to keep the mess down. Looks brand new half a year later

to do - go for a walk

to watch - Silo

to listen to - The Magnus Archives

Who benefits if the US has the best AI?

Investors!

If the pod was bought by Wondery or the like, they’d be responsible

I had to set up a few of my subscriptions to skip the first and last 30s because of this, it’s very annoying!

Yes, podcasts have had dynamic ads since 2013. The provider inserts them when you download

This is how I have it set up in pocketcasts as well, it’s a nice setup!

What ads? I haven’t noticed any and I use it every day, their faq says

Pocket Casts does not insert ads into episodes.

Pocket Casts is mozilla public license btw

The thing is, most humans are laughably bad at architecting software without actually writing it first

That quote is hilarious to me, I guess they haven’t stumbled upon design patterns yet? I don’t even know who this blog is supposed to be for, there’s no name attached so I’m half guessing it’s more AI slop

Hell, I hate editing bash scripts I’ve written. The syntax just isn’t as easy

I agree with your points, except if the script ever needs maintaining by someone else’s they will curse you and if it gets much more complicated it can quickly become spaghetti. But I do have a fair number of bash scripts running on cron jobs, sometimes its simplicity is unbeatable!

Personally though the language I reach for when I need a script is Python with the click library, it handles arguments and is really easy to work with. If you want to keep python deps down you can also use the sh module to run system commands like they’re regular python, pretty handy

I think to make sure they don’t clash with existing identifiers

Had a link in college, it worked perfectly on our 5GHz network and let anyone play their PC games in the living room. Many hours of Ultimate Chicken Horse were played!

It’s great on portmaster! I’ve mostly played it on my rg35sp :)
