  • About 26 miles from the hospital I was born in, or 35 miles from my family’s home at the time. I haven’t gone far, but each move has a been a little bit further.

    Who knows, by the time I die maybe I’ll live outside the local metro area!

  • You could call it senility but it’s also completely in character: lie, make shit up, and take no responsibility for anything, including and especially things he’s directly done.

  • I’ve used cursor quite a bit recently in large part because it’s an organization wide push at my employer, so I’ve taken the opportunity to experiment.

    My best analogy is that it’s like micro managing a hyper productive junior developer that somehow already “knows” how to do stuff in most languages and frameworks, but also completely lacks common sense, a concept of good practices, or a big picture view of what’s being accomplished. Which means a ton of course correction. I even had it spit out code attempting to hardcode credentials.

    I can accomplish some things “faster” with it, but mostly in comparison to my professional reality: I rarely have the contiguous chunks of time I’d need to dedicate to properly ingest and do something entirely new to me. I save a significant amount of the onboarding, but lose a bunch of time navigating to a reasonable solution. Critically that navigation is more “interrupt” tolerant, and I get a lot of interrupts.

    That said, this year’s crop of interns at work seem to be thin wrappers on top of LLMs and I worry about the future of critical thinking for society at large.

  • At this rate we’ll have church in state in no time!

    Most frequent (and white) churchgoers already lean heavily Republican. There is interesting nuance in the data though (how frequently people attend, evangelical or not, etc).
