I’m a computer scientist and software engineer. I’m only a few years out of college but judging by the trajectory of the current AI models, looking like my job won’t be replaced soon. I think the next year or two will solidify whether the gains in AI are tapering off or if it’s still possible for meaningful yearly improvements to AI.

Do we think Trump could put the monopoly lawsuits against google at risk?

New business idea: AI executives for your company as a service

OK, but wow, even barely pop-up windows are still infuriating

I had a linear algebra professor that taught on PowerPoint, would go so fast you couldn’t keep up with notes, and if you used your phone to take a picture of the board, she would stop the class to explain to you how the slides are her intellectual property and you couldn’t take photos.

Or releasing wicked porn

Yeah, I went through a Rogan phase years ago back when he endorsed Bernie. He definitely was a little controversial even back then. I stopped listing as he got more controversial. I tuned back in briefly for the Trump and Rogan interview just out of curiosity. I was shocked to see how far Rogan has fallen.

For context, I’m a Gen Z man. I’m really disappointed the way my fellow Gen Z men are going.

I’ve gone on my own political journey being raised pretty conservative and becoming liberal as I met more diverse people. So honestly maybe Rogan should have always been a red flag, but I did look up to him for a while. I really wanted him to be a progressive voice, but it’s blatantly obvious now he is just as bad as the rest.

For me, there are just a few communities that are missing (or too inactive) here. For example, r/homekit. That being said, I haven’t made much of an effort to post, so I’m part of the problem.

“The American experiment endures”

Matter has been pretty good to me lately. Had to solve an Apple Home Hub issue, but it’s pretty rock solid now. My only complaint is switches could have less latency (I want near instant), but at least they are working consistently. I’m using Matter over Thread, not Matter over WiFi.

Chegg wasn’t much better from what I remember. Right before my Discrete Structures II Final, my professor found most of our assignments posted and answered on Chegg. Instead of getting angry, he explained problem by problem everything the “Chegg experts” got wrong.

And that doesn’t even get into planted incorrect answers. I’m pretty sure our computer science department would deliberately answer relevant chegg questions incorrectly. If you use that specific incorrect answer and work they know you cheated.

ChatGPT solves all of this and I bet it does so with about the same quality as Chegg. I’m not saying I don’t think AI dumb. I’m saying Chegg was also kinda dumb.

I refuse to download TikTok, but I would occasionally watch a post my friends would send me on the website. Now they force you to download the app, as far as I can tell.

What would you name your pet

SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN

Is it though? My understanding is it’s more complicated than “simply better”. You need to account for property tax, home repairs, lack of mobility, housing market, etc.

I’m not an airport or ubiquity user, but from what I’ve seen I would be surprised if there is anything airport can do that ubiquity can’t.

Interesting. I’m targeting 2065 retirement, so I’ve got a long time. But I guess that fund could suffer from the same issue? Or maybe I should assume the same fate based on past events.

Any tools you recommend? Also, how sure are you that the cost savings actually make it worth the effort? My gross expense ratio is 0.08% (I think I’m looking at the right number?)

I do like the automatic set it and forget it. Especially with scheduling transfers into investment accounts. I could probably get into rebalancing short-term, but I think long-term I would get bored and forget.

I like to go a step further and do a target-date retirement fund. I think Vanguard funds are based on index funds, but they will reduce how aggressively they invest as you approach your retirement date. And the fees are very low.
