Man goes to doctor. Says he is CEO of AI startup but has no idea how to become profitable. Doctor says solution is simple. Advanced model GPT-4 is in town. Ask it how to profit, and it will surely know the answer. Man bursts into tears. “But doctor” he says “you are GPT-4”

My spouse and I have started managing our lives with Notion. Having lists for purchases, home renovation, party and travel planning, friend contact info and allergies, recipes for meals we like. Works amazingly. Especially for a scatter brain like myself.
Then again I'd still be fighting making my own environment rn if I didn't submit to their build system. Mixed feelings.
Loh and behold I got the RP Pico W today and got it working. And yes, I did fight cmake for most the time doing it.
Me: Ok, this time I'll do exactly as the tutorial says to not waste any time fighting for a development environment. Also me: CMake? Ew.

I added a text in my linkedin bio to say a special phrase so I know they read the bio and so far none is playing by the rules. Suggests how automated this recruiting bs really is.
EU planning carbon tax on import, to more aggressive carbon policy locally without being penalized by foreign competition. Also brilliant, though less certain it'll work out in practice all things considered.
New Zealand bans smoking for everyone born after a certain date. Brilliant.

Since the election I've had ideas like "if I were the government I would pass policy". In a just a few days two of these came true elsewhere, suggesting it's not all crazy.

Feel like there is a mutually beneficial agreement in there somewhere... Sharing the risks somehow.
This is in particular obvious when people go unemployed while companies whine about how there aren't any people with the proper competences. Relying on students taking on all the risk.
Overall feel like most companies neglect training. In part because there's always a fire to be extinguished instead. But also because any employee may quit before profiting from it.
In general, even if you work at a big company with onerous policies, you have more power than you think. Don't be afraid to stand up and do the right thing.

That was the situation before we started mobbing. But the dev team decided that they needed to work together as a Mob. The manager kept assigning tasks to individuals but we told him that we would just ignore it and go from the top. A cohesive team has a lot of power.

First experiment will be collecting temperature data in a storage unit. See how close it gets to freezing.
Ordered myself a Raspberry Pi Pico W(ifi). Ridiculously cheap. Have had a beer more expensive than that.

Eff me, should be "Men of paper sheets with text on". Anyhoo swedish has two distinct names for those things and the season cannot decide which it is. Recall seeing the same thing in other shows. Movies or intra episode even. Must be shitty automation.
Having an AI make an initial architecture and implementation, and continue develop from there will become reality. So will shipping it prematurely because budget (or agile bs) and hope for the best.
Read something about how automatic (and basically free) translation ruined quality of any translation. Feeling it when Supernatural cannot settle whether "Men of Letters" is "Men of Characters" or "Men of text written on pieces of paper" WITHIN THE SAME SEASON.
