""The problem with treating politics as a doughnut, where the centre is consistantly defined as the hole where policy doesn't belong is that it leaves the parties of the Hole to just react to wherever the dough is.""

The claim "you won't be replaced by AI, but by a person using AI" is nonsense. The Block layoff victims were some of the most productive, #llm pilled people in the company, but it didn't save them, because that's not what layoffs are about.
The layoff script goes, as always:
- overhire
- lay everyone off
- pretend it's because of
Sharing content to Mastodon is getting easier with the addition of a universal “Share to Mastodon” button for the decentralized social media platform.
Announced on Monday, the widget allows users to share content on any Mastodon server by connecting your Mastodon account and redirecting you to the server that account is on.

I'm currently debugging why a pair of cumana 5.25" floppy drives doesn't step on one of my Model B's; it's got a switchable 40/80 board on it which is where my current suspicion lies; a Cumana CU1585 (?) board - which I reckon is something like below. The step line seems to be stuck at about 1.4v.
Alas neither chip is socketed so it's a bit of a pain (The whole build is a pain, the board is soldered to the end of the floppy ribbon, and squeezed into a gap behin…

I was unreasonably giddy when I stumbled across the real-time discussion of implementation of a feature I use regularly in Shotcut — the proposal, the math, the initial implementation, and then how it evolved into the feature I use.
There's something so cool about seeing people nerd out about stuff and seeing development happen in the open.
I'm trying to type the word `part.revision` in our wiki because this is a database field I'm trying to document.
It keeps #autocorrect ing this to `part. Revision` because it thinks I'm actually starting a new sentence and am too stupid to add the space and capitalize the first word.
The most common strategy for "AI-proofing" your career is to get good at using AI tools.
This is futile, because no one is using AI tools to make things that are *good.* The goal is to check the box on the project plan at a predictable pace. As long as the box is checked, quality is not a factor.
To AI-proof your job, get out of the project game.
