You don’t need Google’s permission to host your own web application. Browsers and the internet are awesome. The Google play store is a nuisance and I look forward to the day when I can have a Linux distribution running on my phone with everything I need.

Damn, what EV do you have? I have a '23 Bolt and I only see about a 30% reduction in efficiency in below freezing. The performance of mine in winter was fair, and even in blizzard conditions in Chicago at 20F it still got the job done. But yea, the heater will consume a lot of battery regardless. Charging is my only concern, and that’s solved by the fact that I have a supercharger not too far I can use once a week early in the morning for cheap $0.35 per kWh.

My EV doesn’t freeze and die in winter and can be parked outside on the street for a week without me needing to leave the apartment. Just imagining riding a horse in an extremely cold spring rain hurts to think about.

Fucking “boat mode”? 😂

There are no guardrails.

We CAN set the guardrails, I do it constantly. This technology is very powerful, it’s up to us to use good practices, it’s up to business leaders and developers to ensure that precautions are taken.

My main recommendation, and hard limit that will never change: Do not let the AI make core file changes without human-in-the-loop permission every time.

If you let an AI agent delete files outside of your project directory on your computer without you needing to click “I approve” with the ability to review it, you’re setting yourself up for a huge mistake. Never give AI agents access to anything outside project scope, and keep project scope tight.

That’s a crazy decision to make. I own my car outright thankfully. In the future once my car is used up and completely in the green as an investment to commute to work, I’m going to consider leasing a very modern electric vehicle for 2 years.

The developer is to blame. Using a cutting edge tool irresponsibly. I have made mistakes using AI to help coding as well, never this bad though. Blaming AI would be like blaming the hammer a roofer was using to hammer nails and slamming their finger accidentally with it. You don’t blame the hammer, you blame the negligence of the roofer.

Reputable second hand sellers guarantee that the device works properly before shipping. If I needed a laptop, I would get a low grade one on eBay for cheap. I would probably get a used Dell Precision 5570 Laptop with an i9/A2000.

Why is it sad?

It’s great to see the “cutting edge”, but as for the AI bubble and data center growth, we’re now at the point where models are reaching saturation. You soon will not need a powerful frontier model to do the task for you, all you’ll need is a small distilled quantized model. The majority of AI usage in the near future will involve smaller efficient models provided context to do very specific redundant tasks like digitizing text, doing price comparisons, or harvesting data.

Why would anyone buy a new laptop when the second hand market is so available? It’s all just novelty. I wouldn’t touch this, all I can think about is what it’ll look like in the second hand market in about 3 years.

Interesting, I tried it with DeepSeek and got an incorrect response from the direct model without thinking, but then got the correct response with thinking. There’s a reason why there’s a shift towards “thinking” models, because it forces the model to build its own context before giving a concrete answer.

The matrix protocol is actually easy to use, it just takes a bit of effort to get into. Once you’re in, then it’s as easy as Discord, I haven’t had any issues and it’s been a great learning experience. https://joinmatrix.org/

Yea I’ll do it today, I need to send a couple messages to friends who I only have contact with through there though. Basically if they want to continue communicating where to find me.

I’m absolutely deleting my discord account once they update it with the age verification. The matrix protocol is a reasonable alternative https://joinmatrix.org/

We’re at such a weird time, low job growth, but productivity is still increasing due to technological automation. We need a new New Deal.

I stopped paying for health insurance a couple years ago, one of the best decisions I’ve made.
