Boss said, last year’s performance met expectations, so we are all not getting any bonus.
What?? Hold on. It’s a performance-based bonus. This directly translates to a bonus-based performance, effective immediately.
Fuck the company, I don’t work for peanuts.
Respectfully disagree with you.
I’ve been taking music lessons for years, to find that I don’t have the ear nor the rhythm for it.
Ten years of dance classes, I love the feeling of floating over the floor with an English Waltz. But ask me to stop counting in my head, or improvise rather than trained patterns, and I fall apart, just rocking in place.
Painting too. Aquarels, not acrylic. I don’t have the imagination nor, again, the fine motor skills.
The Arts are not for me.
I am a man of electronics, mechanics, computing, soldering, Lego, woodworking, sailing, geometry, 3d modeling. And I can teach and plan and organise.
It’s all practical, tangible stuff. That is who I am.
Buuut the thinking is that open source algorithms are not intentionally made to be so fucking EVIL.
Likely, but you did not let poor code pass. That is valuable.
And is this stolen robot body in the room with you now?
Yeah but we pay way less for housing and health.
Proper/healthy cooking. Sports.
Maybe you have too many pancakes? Let me take care of some of those for you ❤️
I see myself as a project manager and executive producer. I know I don’t write that code, and I couldn’t even if I tried.
But I am skilled at directing and verifying, and this has allowed me to create (not code) a fairly complex WordPress plugin for course bookings with online card payment processing etc.
I have made a few manual tweaks here and there but that code is 98% Claude. And you know what? It works. That is good enough for me.
Oh man, you just got my hopes up long enough for me to finish reading that sentence. Sad sigh.
You are ice cold metal, my friend 🤘
Unpopular opinion: LCARS is utter garbage UI.
Sure it looks cool in the TV series, and its brand recognition is spectacular. But actually using it? Horrible.
Then use… a camera??
In light of recent events, other countries should drag Trump to the ICC and thence straight to the gallows.
For the longest time, writing was more expensive than reading. If you encountered a body of written text, you could be sure that at the very least, a human spent some time writing it down. The text used to have an innate proof-of-thought, a basic token of humanity.
Now, AI has made text very, very, very cheap. Not only text, in fact. Code, images, video. All kinds of media. We can’t rely on proof-of-thought anymore.
This is what makes AI so insidious. It’s like email spam. It puts the burden on the reader to determine and sort ham from spam.
