Some of my favorite things to use AI for when coding (I swear I wrote this not AI!):

- CSS: I don't like working with CSS on any website ever, and all of the kludges added on-top of it don't make it any more fun. AI makes it a little fun since it can remember all the CSS hacks so I don't have to spend an hour figuring out how to center some element on the page. Even if it doesn't get it right the first time, it still takes less time than me struggling with it to center some div in a complex Wordpress or other nightmare site.

- Unit Tests: Assuming the embedded code in the AI isn't too outdated (caveat: sometimes it is, and that invalidates this one sometimes). Farming out unit tests to AI is a fun little exercise.

- Summarizing a commit: It's not bad at summarizing, at least an initial draft.

- Very small first-year-software-engineering-exercise-type tasks.

I'm living a pretty okay life, I need money for certain things and helping my friends and family takes a lot of money. I think the guy in this article and some of the people in this thread have their perspective warped by the amount of money they have. (This has been proven time and time again: https://caldaclinic.com/the-psychology-of-wealth-and-how-it-... )

Try making some friends with people who aren't as wealthy as you and try to help them out, maybe they need something that is out of their reach, maybe their family needs expensive medicine or something. Anyways, my TL;DR is make friends, spend your money on others and stop hoarding it because it won't make you happy.

We have the ability to mathematically determine the readability of books based on the words in them: https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2013/09/24/guide-to-re...

As far as what rating a book has as to who should be allowed to read it, what do you think? If you are a voracious reader, would you be happy having certain book topics restricted based on your age? Or maybe what your parents thought was right? Maybe they didn't want you know about certain topics. Be careful what you wish for.

I was trying to read the paper and it talked about putting shapes together, and I was sad to see that there were no graphical representations of what it was talking about. This is my only hope is that someone would build an accurate graphical representation of these 3D or even 4D shapes (using movement lines I imagine!).

Also a common trope on Car Talk, RIP Tom Magliozzi.

That sounds like Type 1 diabetes. Your pancreas doesn't generate insulin in Type 1, and in type 2 your body has insulin resistance, which makes the insulin that your body makes ineffective at regulating your blood sugar.

I'm glad that everyone is hitting this guy hard, I see these articles all the time and they all stink of entitlement and definitely the guy writing this has something to gain by having this opinion.

I didn't see a conversation on this in the comments, maybe I missed it, but I think one of the reasons why you don't see as much creative control over web pages is spambots. Lots of things that I've put up on my own personal web page that let anyone add things to it also allowed spambots to invade. And since most software to repel spambots needs to be rather advanced to work effectively, you see instances where the user content part just keeps locked up until it's closed completely.

This is a problem that big companies can solve, but it's much trickier for one guy with a web page to solve.

I think you might have missed the point of the article. Trust doesn't matter in an unbalanced power dynamic. If your direct superior can punish you for disagreeing with you on anything, then it stands to reason that you will submit to their will regardless of the outcome (this is where bad decisions are made because alternative points of view are squashed before they even get a chance). This seems to be the reason why more egalitarian organization results in better outcomes, the better outcomes are possible when trust is given to people, not trust is forced upon people.

Jailbroken androids for the enterprise! What could possibly go wrong?

Just wanted to point out that there's a pretty interesting project called Geyser[0] (along with a plugin called Floodgate[1]) that allows Java and Bedrock Minecraft users to connect to the same Java server. This might be an avenue the author could take to allow the tailscale auth here to work. In my implementation I'm using PaperMC[2] as well.

It's a personal site, but it's very silly. :)

Wife and I had an unlikely pregnancy ourselves. We tried for possibly 8 years with no luck, finally we gave in and started the process to do in vitro with entailed lots of tests and everything. Then, the day before we were scheduled to start the process (during xmas no less) and lay down a lot of $$$ for the procedure, wife takes a pregnancy test and shockingly, it indicates positive. Kid was born healthy and happy. I hesitate to call him some kind of xmas miracle kid, but I mean.. the context and everything really drove the point home. :)
