Is going to be earlier and waking just before things start heating up an option? Here in rural northeastern Japan, we do that to beat the heat of the day for work outside (getting up right around 4 or a bit before when days are their longest) and a lot of folks are asleep by 20 or 21.

Needs barbs, probably, and something better than tape.

Medical transcription has been a thing for years, so I find it interesting I don’t recall hearing about it until now with AI. I guess it’s not as popular a topic.

What he says, however, is a reason I don’t like using AI for writing code or design work; I want to learn, know, and remember every part of the systems I have ownership in. Having AI do everything removes that.

Arrest, try, and hang those guilty of giving the information. Arrest, try, seize the assets of, and jail anyone who used that information. In an ideal justice system, this would apply to all forms of insider trading and betting. I’d also like to see the people running that marketplace dropped into a lava lake, but that’s another matter.

The documentation I mean here should be in the repo and checked as a part of the PR process. I don’t mean it should be a manual, I just mean a readme should at least describe what the service does (it has such a generic name in my case that it’s not self-evident and is so broad in scope I don’t know what happened). The functions also have terrible naming and no comments to describe what they do. So, as a guy just coming into this team after re-org with no idea what all this stuff does, I was completely lost. They also changed which services which teams owned, further making it difficult to get knowledge.

I recently got moved to another team after my company restructured. Several repos have zero documentation. Most of those don’t even have comments on the functions. LinkXxxx(some args) like Xxxx to /what?!/ It’s also an over-engineered mess with multiple layers of abstraction. I can’t wait to finish figuring out what everything does and re-write (and document it) like a sane person. This code presumably had no AI involvement which I’d argue is even worse since real humans made these shit decisions. Don’t get me starting on their testing (and mostly lack thereof)…

Worker suggested using AI to write some documentation. Another coworker did. I immediately spotted a bunch of hallucinated shit. Good times. I want to know in my head what a thing does, how it works, and how it fits into the architecture. I can’t do that if an AI is just deciding stuff; it’s like a quiz back in school where I would memorize shit for about one week before 99% of it left my brain forever.

Oh yeah? Well, I’ve pooped at a significant fraction of the speed of sound

Well, that settles it. There goes my vote for 2008 Clinton.

Unscrew it. Throw it away. Keep your spices away from light and air.

I was thinking of giving piefed a shot. Any further reading on this?

Edit: Why on earth is this so downvoted? I was thinking of switching from mbin to piefed, saw this, and asked for elaboration. FFS.
