My clanker made my vanilla css with branding color variables. shrug.

Did your clanker reach 40k CLOC?

It puts the AI on its wrist or it gets the hose again.

> Guy, we used to just call this a bad coworker.

Not that long ago. People generating large quantities of AI output is a relatively recent phenomenon. At least when compared to labels like this.


its the same individuals in my experience. i don't see people who used to be good employees suddenly sending a 3000 word email, but i sure do see that out of the people who were bad coworkers 12 months ago and still are today.

low effort work though, that's nothing new... accelerating that low effort: that is new... but the low effort work hasn't been changed by ai: only illuminated more clearly.

It's not called that.


You will now be subject to the whims of a timer in the future. If that's not exhausting for you, go for it.


I'm not subject to the whims of anything except what I just asked for.

I can also cancel it just as easily, if it's exhausting. Which--I'm finding it hard to understand why it would be.

I don't schedule my life like that at all, I kinda wander around all day. But the idea of a reminder that I specifically asked for? It's the only kind of reminder I want, actually. It'll keep me from the actually-exhausting habit of checking my watch or wondering how long it's been.


I don't use a sauna. In my imagination some people might prefer to stop their sauna usage when it feels right. That doesn't require checking a timer.


That's certainly how it is for me; mentally I think sauna is an hour, of 5-15 minute chunks inside the warm room, but sometimes it might be more.

There are days when I walk in and immediately nope-out after a couple of minutes, and that's usually a sign that I'm getting sick.

But when it stops feeling good that's the time to leave, or stop for the evening.


It might be good to have at least two hobbies.


Someone who your estate can sue and get a settlement of a dollar value equal to your own estimation of your future life's worth?


People that want to be open about the source of their text will just tell you where it came from.

People that want to obscure the source of their text would rather that it was more difficult to sniff out LLM-generated text. And they're the ones picking which model to use.


Don't know about the research, but I've always assumed that drinking has some correlation with psychological pathology. I drink myself, and would self-diagnose myself as being happy. However, drinking, particularly heavy drinking seems correlated to problems.


Drinking is often (not always) an escape. So if a kid is drinking more than experimentally or e.g. occasional weekend gatherings with friends, it's a good sign they are having trouble coping with something. Same would go for smoking weed, etc. A normal well-adjusted person is not driven to get intoxicated frequently.


There are multiple extensions to ASCII. "Extended ASCII" isn't a single thing, but a category of single-byte character encodings which are supersets of ASCII.
