Bingo.
Maybe not outright fired, but absolutely open them up to career limits based on what you described.
All of Amazon’s code undergoes code reviews already. Accepting a PR is already spiritually a sign off.
This is just explicitly a threat, explicitly trying to find someone to hold accountable because you can’t hold ai accountable. What are they gonna do, fire the ai? Sign here to be the fall guy. Fuck off.
I like the project, but it seems like as soon as buddy got access to real-time e-ink he just never looked back.
As well, I get the UI appeal of negative space, but my god it costs a fortune in e-ink.
As everyone is noting here, this project shows a pattern of “money is no object” in every decision made.
That doesn’t mean it has to be, though. My gut tells me you could slash the cost in (at least) half while retaining like 90% of the utility.
Your right to privacy ends where your actions that impact the public begins.
Allowing elected officials (allowing, not even MAKING) to sign NDAs with private companies provides cover to do shitty things and get influenced by lobbiests.
I see it supports many cameras, but you need to pull them apart and use a serial hookup to flash the firmware… but for the wyze cams and a few others you can flash them directly with an SD card.
I liked how cheap the wyze cams were but desperately wanted to get them offline. This was my silver bullet.
Generally speaking (by theory subscription), moral evaluations of an action consider the state of the agent.
“Is this a good technology?” And “Is Sam Altman doing good?” Are two radically different questions with radically different answers.
For non cloud cams, someone posted here a while back about thingno firmware, takes cheap cams off the cloud. Works great on a wyze cam and was a gamechanger for me. Sttrroonngglllyyy recommend
It’ll only be available for the super rich, will expand to other augmentations/engineering, and will result in further reinforcing social mobility boundaries.
I appreciate the sanity check, but just to throw a monkey wrench into your model…
I think the square-cube law will bite you here. I expect power/mass isn’t constant. Mass grows faster than cross-sectional area which is key in muscle performance.
I’m my professional experience working with both, Java shops don’t blindly enforce this, but c# shops tend to.
Striving for loosely coupled classes is objectively a good thing. Using dogmatic enforcement of interfaces even for single implementors is a sledgehammer to pound a finishing nail.
Whoever is demanding every class be an implementation of an interface started thier career in C#, guaranteed.
Kids certainly have the capacity.
Windows 3.1 had some BASIC games that you could run. A snake game and one where monkeys threw bananas at each other. It was a great “fuck around and find out” platform. I could write simple programs from scratch well before 10, learning entirely through experimentation.
I think that’s fair comparison.
The difference was that investment followed realizable value for PCs. Or cell phones. Or iPods. Or “the cloud”. The horse and carriage were in a sane order.
The internet itself might be an even better comparison, with VC dumping money into anything without an understanding of how to get a return.
If ANYONE had reproducible guidance on how to get positive value out of these systems… they’d be booming like NVIDIA. It’s another “during the gold rush, sell shovels” model.
Raises an eyebrow that we’re not seeing it.
I think these companies are sitting, waiting, and praying for an emergent use-case to reveal itself. They’re spending money to be prepared to corner a market that as-of-yet doesn’t exist.
A crazy number of devs weren’t even using EXISTING code assistant tooling.
Enterprise grade IDEs already had tons of tooling to generate classes and perform refactoring in a sane and algorithmic way. In a way that was deterministic.
So many use cases people have tried to sell me on (boilerplate handling) and im like “you have that now and don’t even use it!”.
I think there is probably a way to use llms to try and extract intention and then call real dependable tools to actually perform the actions. This cult of purity where the llm must actually be generating the tokens themselves… why?
I’m all for coding tools. I love them. They have to actually work though. Paradigm is completely wrong right now. I don’t need it to “appear” good, i need it to BE good.
If this does what it says it’ll do, this is ABSOLUTELY the answer
“Well, it’s all website-driven, and people don’t really care about domain names these days; it’s all subdomains on sites like Vercel.” Shut up. People love their ego domains.

If you’re just running a few services, and will only ever be running a few services, I agree with you.
The additional burden of starting with proxmox (which is really just debian) is minimal and sets you up for the inevitable deluge of additional services you’ll end up wanting to run in a way that’s extensible and trivially snapshotable.
I was pretty bullish on “I don’t need a hypervisor” for a long time. I regret not jumping all-in on hypervisors earlier, regardless of the services I plan to run. Is the physical MACHINEs purpose to run services and be headless? Hypervisor. That is my conclusion as for what is the least work overall. I am very lazy.
Easily can have multiple LXCs, and being able to take snapshots for backup is probably a nice thing to have if you’re just learning.
And if they get more hardware, moving VMs to other clustered proxmox instances is a snap.
I’m agreeing with Pete Hegseth? WTF is happening right now?
I mean, listen to your gut instincts, which is that you’re being foolish because he is a fool.
If your system demands trust, it’s a bad system. If your system has a written set of rules that don’t actually cover your requirements, it’s a bad system. If the “tests” you imagine post-hoc aren’t part of the system, you’re just opportunistically trying to shift the blame.
You made a deal, set the parameters, and what… Expected the for profit company to ignore their fiduciary duty to shareholders to maximize profit? What is this, your first fucking day of capitalism, Pete?
His response to this is engineered to shift blame, and he’s coming out swinging because ultimately he is to blame. It’s barely more than a political catchphrase. He literally invoked “America First”.
To refine that even further, he doesn’t appear to imply that the dev isn’t WORKING hard enough, only that they’re not being OPTIMALLY PRODUCTIVE.
What he’s trying to do, really is float and normalize the concept of baking tokens into HR math in terms of a “golden ratio”… which happens to be 2:1.
So, when a company goes all in on ai, and they cut thier workforce in half, they’ll need to add in 50% for tokens. 50% of the original staff, at a new 150% cost, puts the company at 75% pre ai workforce cost. This is the “guidelines” they’re trying to normalize.
