You missed the point.

A friend of mine made a tea-timer app for the iPhone. Where you enter what tea you are making and it sets the correct number of minutes. Today, people would ask ChatGPT before they go on the App Store to search for something like that. That's the point. Not what YOU would do, but what the general public does. And for Jane Doe, ChatGPT has replaced a lot of these specialty apps.

Skills are great until they aren't. The problem is exactly what you say: You can literally create a skill by telling the LLM to create a skill. Which is... why the f do I need to make a skill if the AI already knows how to do it?

Properly created skills, that include reference material, specific instructions, and expert knowledge the LLM doesn't have or that's buried somewhere under 10 layers of reddit posts is genuinely useful. But most skills aren't. I'm constantly underwhelmed by hyped-up skills that, when I look at them, turn out to be bland, basic instructions.

Srsly? Get a room. Just make sure that the hotel owner knows he's going to have this reaction afterwards:

No room for iSCSI HBAs?

That's not a good idea. Though I doubt you understand what ICMP actually is. Hint: The P has nothing to do with feces, placing it well outside of your understanding.

"full os" doesn't mean anything. I think you're talking about real vs protected.

China, India and AI data centers are the cause of all of this. But the little people of the world will be told to not use their air con or drive personal autos.

Not age, experience.

Anybody who is any good, can easily make Senior in 5-6 years, and Principal in under 10. So what age, exactly, are they discriminating against?

Why wouldn't it be OK to pay more for somebody who is experienced, than somebody who isn't? An experienced worker is more productive, and can coach and guide younger workers. That's worth more to the company. They're also more expensive. Age has very little to do with it.

they can't even call it an iPad "Mini" any more!

Don't worry, nobody will ever pay you for labor, let alone use it -- it would have to be valuable for either to happen.

You guys are literally talking about killing people like Steve Wozniak. And the reason for it? A number, that he didn't even decide, rather a market did. And before that even brought him to billionaire status, they were worthless for an entire decade after he had already left Apple. You guys are literally using Mao's playbook here, and he did exactly this to people exactly like Woz for no reason other than they were especially good at what they did, and they got paid well for it. After Woz was worth more than 200 billion, he literally gave most of it away.

But you guys can't think at this level. All you two understand is a desire for power, and a desire to kill anybody who stands between you and power. That's why you're so susceptible to manipulative assholes like Mao, Pol Pot, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Guevara, Castro, Kropotkin -- all born into wealthy or otherwise affluent families, by the way, and you guys have already bought into all of their crap hook, line and sinker.

When the music stops, do you own the asset, hold an enforceable claim against someone who does, or merely possess a token whose value depends on everyone else believing the first two things are true? Turning the difference between owning an asset and holding a token that claims to represent the asset into a shell game.

California has at least two desert biomes I can think of off the top of my head, namely Mojave and part of the Sonoran, though they don't call it that there. Desert also doesn't mean "low water", see for example Antarctica, which is a desert biome. Likewise, "low water" doesn't mean desert.

The misstep made by GP is that pistachios only really grow in arid regions which are usually desert, so you kind of have to grow them in a 'friggin' desert'. The problem is growing them commercially in regions without much ground water to begin with.

Sometimes heavy is defined in terms of response time, in particular real-time or near real-time processing. That's why in computer science complexity can be measure in terms of space or in terms of time.

In my 20s, when I was doing minimum wage work, where what you're saying is often but not always true, especially if you work for some old short lady who can't reach the top shelf. You haven't had enough variation in either the kind of work you do, nor have the environments you've worked in and the people you've worked with had much variation to realize this, hence you only understand naive, broad statements like the ones you often make. That's why you've also never been paid very much despite being in a unionized state, and you always think you deserve more than you're worth because you don't understand the idea of things being valued but hard to find generally carrying a higher price tag, where labor is no exception.

You'll never see this in your lifetime, but for anybody else reading this, if you ever work highly technical / highly skilled jobs, especially ones where you're being asked to do things that literally nobody else has ever done (at least, not publicly) the manager doesn't necessarily need to be able to do that work. This is even more the case when you're doing multi-discipline work, where often your manager is paying you more than they themselves get paid.

This is why you make $20/hour working in a salvage yard, where somebody like me brings in ten times that amount. And no, that's not an exaggeration, in fact it actually understates what I have already brought in this year.
