Spoilers, near the end.

Does it get any more young adult than ::: spoiler spoiler We surrounded the entirety of federation space. And then every federation ship showed up to help. :::

Yeah, I don’t know that the writing clears the bar to achieve subpar.

Better than Starfleet Academy? The only redeeming thing about that show was Paul Giamatti. Mostly a teen drama.

Yeah, I don’t plan to leave in two years, so I’m motivated to not say “oh fuck” when I have to maintain the thing I built later.

Plus, you know, I don’t want people to groan when they have to work on my code.

It’s almost like there should be a human in the loop to guide and review what the ai is doing.

The thing works a lot better when I give it smaller chunks of work that I know are possible. Works best when I know how to implement it myself and it just saves me from looking up all the syntax.

People have trouble with the middle ground. AI is useful in coding. It’s not a full replacement. That should be fine, except you’ve got the ai techbros and CEOs on one end thinking it will replace all labor, and the you’ve got the backlash to that on the other end that want to constantly talk about how useless it is.

Why can’t GM make cars this cheap? We’ve gotta kill the damn unions that prevented this from happening here.

That’s the part I get, but what does having the corporate spyware running 24/7 accomplish? What kind of telemetry would they even get out of that other than ip/location, which isn’t all that interesting.

Can you explain this disabling sleep mode thing? What does having the thing awake while it’s closed even accomplish?

Same on all counts. They paid for the tow and the repair.

They did leave my 12v battery completely drained for a week in winter though, and then wouldn’t replace it. So I expect that battery won’t make it the normal 7 years before it needs to be replaced.

Did the whole solar + EV setup a year ago, and it’s been great. Even producing a little less than I expected, with the rising bills the breakeven date might hit under 10 years even though I originally expected 13.

It’s a diverse investment that’s extremely safe. If you can even get near neutral on the financial side, the security and convenience benefits are great.

But ci/cd though

Right. There’s not as much money in renewables, so there’s less lobbying.

Ignorance, fear, or are you just following the kid’s trend of anti-ai, pushback against corporate desperation?

It’s not realistic to expect no AI assistance in coding in 2026.

It’s also not a stand-in for a human. There’s a huge field of gray where it’s unclear how much of it was fully vibe coded vs how much is carefully hand reviewed and/or written.

I’ve been a professional developer for decades and I’ve done both. Obviously I’ve hand coded stuff for many years. The fully vibe coded stuff is personal, to test and learn the capabilities of the tech. My professional stuff I watch much more closely, and I’m much more targeted in what I’m having the AI do.

That said, if I were gonna use this I’d actually review the code. I’m not recommending this guy’s stuff, but you can’t rule it out on the basis of ai assistance alone.

They’re not problems that need to be solved. If we cut fossil fuel use by 90%, there’s hardly any impact on these uses.

Yeah, but it might take years for these slop companies to actually collapse under the weight of their own tech debt. Do you know how many quarters that is!

It’s a teen drama mostly aimed at teens, but with a sex scene.

Watch episode 6, skip the rest.

I thought they did pay those back.

Some of that likely came out of him being a shitbag in various ways where he lucked into the right circumstances for that attitude.

The world isn’t black and white. He should get some credit for Tesla. And he should get credit for the current ways he’s dismantling Tesla and the US.
