We're screwed, aren't we? #slop

The war in ME literally took away two weeks of my life. Yes, I'm aware it took away someone's lives in their entirety.

I was helping deal with the AWS UAE data center outage for 10 days and they are missing from my life. It shocks me that these days just disappeared.

I look at the calendar and each time I find myself surprised that I jumped from the end of February straight to the end of March.

Time travel sucks.

Will the world ever go back to polite discourse in public or has the Overton window shifted permanently?

"Was used to mostly watch YouTube" for used laptops is the equivalent "a granny was only using it to drive to church" for cars.

Ne, nepažymėjau. Aš net nupirkau iš guru.lt (pirkau iš to kaip jie anksčiau vadinosi).

Kam tas GDPR? Galiu ir aš nebesilaikyt?

I have someone who blocked me after calling me a communist here, and I was also called a fascist here.

It's a hard life, you know, having to make these choices. Who gets to throw me in a gulag? Who gets to murder my family?

Anyone have any advice on how to make the best choice?

Despite what you might have read on the internet, the world has more colors than black and white.

I was about to engage with a post on LinkedIn. But I clicked a link. Then clicked back. The post is gone. I guess I didn't really mean to engage 🤷‍♂️

Will be coordinating the ME cluster outage. You?

Reading the reviews of Civ 7:

> The Diplomacy system’s logic is nonexistent. While I was defending myself in a war I didn't start, other civilizations began denouncing me as a warmonger. The "Grievance" system clearly can't distinguish between an aggressor and a defender. This triggered a diplomatic death spiral where the entire world turned against me for having the audacity to survive.

No parallels to real life. None whatsoever.

Disabled the Christmas lights automation.

I declare that the spring is officially here.

There's so much irony in this, but I recently had a very efficient hack to improve the performance of an LLM agent...

It was stuck in a loop debugging, building, rerunning, grepping the result, etc.

I told it to stop and add debug logs to the app.

It got unstuck and solved the bugs instantly.

monolish (n) - a thing that's actually a monolith, but you need to call it something else, since monolith is a bad word, even though it's not a necessarily a bad thing, but you can't really call it a "monorepo" either, even though you'd like to, because it's actually a monolith.

It's probably OK if LLMs make us worse developers. But I do hope LLMs won't make us worse persons.

@dcoderlt@ohai.social o tau nebūna instinkto prieš boostinant pagalvot "čia turbūt feikas (kurio būstinimas gali padaryti daugiau žalos, nei naudos)"?

It doesn't feel like anything, but I moved the screen off time to be 15 minutes earlier and the kid's mood improved immediately.

I guess it should really be another 15 minutes earlier, to have enough of a buffer?

Reviewing a large PR, generated using an LLM.

Two conclusions so far:

1. For now, I'll still have a job as a quality gate. That's assuming quality matters. It might not, judging by how willingly we eat up slop, tiktoks and Temu products.
2. I might start hating my job. It had better pay well.

Went for a ride with the family.

Electricity is a very weird market. Why does the price change by 50% every 15 minutes? And you thought bitcoin was volatile.

If I were a Ukrainian watching the Olympics opening ceremony I'd probably kick the telly as the speakers keep on talking about peace, unity, etc.

Good thing that's probably not happening, cause Ukrainians probably don't have electricity to watch it.
