I think it’s more to do with phones - people are just more likely to do most tasks on a phone rather than a laptop.

NASA+ remains available for free, with no ads, through the NASA app and on the agency’s website.

It could be that Netflix can promote it on the platform to garner more interest.

Yeah probably, but your partner might think you’re a bit crazy for doing that.

Yup, all three balls.

It is really not a big change to the way we work unless you work in a language that has very low expressiveness like Java or Go

If we include languages like C#, javascript/typescript, python etc then that’s a huge portion of the landscape.

Personally I wouldn’t use it to generate entire features as it will generally produce working, but garbage code, but it’s useful to get boilerplate stuff done or query why something isn’t working as expected. For example, asking it to write tests for a React component, it’ll get about 80-90% of it right, with all the imports, mocks etc, you just need to write the actual assertions yourself (which we should be doing anyway).

I gave Claude a try last week at building some AWS infrastructure in Terraform based off a prompt for a feature set and it was pretty bang on. Obviously it required some tweaks but it saved a tonne of time vs writing it all out manually.

I feel like it’s more the sudden overnight hype about it rather than the technology itself. CEOs all around the world suddenly went “you all must use AI and shoe horn it into our product!”. People are fatigued about constantly hearing about it.

But I think people, especially devs, don’t like big changes (me included), which causes anxiety and then backlash. LLMs have caused quite a big change with the way we go about our day jobs. It’s been such a big change that people are likely worried about what their career will look like in 5 or 10 years.

Personally I find it useful as a pairing buddy, it can generate some of the boilerplate bullshit and help you through problems, which might have taken longer to understand by trawling through various sites.

Maybe the adults are actually just as short as the baby

It’s kinda funny that they’re “legitimate interest”, as that infers that the other ones aren’t legitmate.

Yeah but passenger airliners aren’t equipped with parachutes. I think what you probably mean is in an emergency evacuation then the passengers will be left behind while attendants jump down the slides.

Not sure yet, we’re still waiting for the first frame to finish.

Spent far too long thinking how annoying that guys hair cut is.

Everyone strives for 5 9s, but musk aims for two 8s.

There’s a great podcast called “The Lazarus Heist” that goes into North Korea’s activities in stealing huge sums of money. Well worth a listen.

It’s baffling to me. Maybe I’m just used to using “modern” frameworks, but the only way this could be an issue is if you literally check if the string value equals “null” and then replace it with a null value.

lastName = lastName.ToUpper() == "NULL" ? null : lastName;

Either that or the database has some bug where it’s converting a string value of “null” into a null.

i’ve even received them as gifts (very expensive ones) but i just threw it in the trash

Wouldn’t it have been better to tell the gift giver that you’re really happy that they thought if you, but for security/moral reasons you don’t want to install it? At least they could have returned it and got their money back.

2 of those 3 things are correct

In the UK, unless you’re self employed, you don’t have to do anything at all.

You might just receive a letter saying HMRC either owes you money or you owe them money.

Not sure a Renault (now Alpine) is a good example of fastest 🤣

I really miss that livery though.

It’s not even a $5 one-off fee, it’s a $5/month subscription!
