For AI written content I have a very low tolerance. I bounce right away when I notice I'm reading generated content, especially if it tries to be an essay or anything else than direct answer to my question at hand.
When it comes to books, I avoid anything written by an author debuting after 2022 unless there is a strong recommendation by someone close.
As for genres, it has made me read less purely technical books. My assumption is that I can learn enough of the subject as I go by chatting with a model.
That's funny, I actively seek out books written post 2022, because I enjoy the injection of AI related humor and commentary that some authors include.
Similar to how movies now include texting dialogue sometimes, it's now part of art to imitate life. I imagine modern film has couples who met through AI now and so on.
Generated content in of itself doesn't really bother me at all. I prefer to judge based on editorial effort.
It's pretty easy to tell when someone accepted the first one or two-shot attempt versus carefully crafting a particular narrative and vibe. Even if they didn't technically contribute a single word to the final output.
Judging content based on how it was produced feels like judging a sculptor based on the material they chose rather than the craftsmanship that went into projecting what was in their mind onto the material.
One guys stops reading post 2022 books and civilization will end?
Everyone has their own standards. There are people not reading post 1900 books for a while and we still have new books. Let people live by their own rules ffs
No! The civilization won't end because one guy stopped reading books but it might be very very bad for the civilization if people stopped producing original work because AI disincentivized it.
Curious if you feel that mainstream publishing has been infiltrated by AI content? I’d imagine the old school publishing houses are going out of their way to filter out AI chum. Especially in fiction.
>The feedback was simply: "What do you even need funding for?"
Not clear from the text, but what was your plan using the funding on? If you did not have a plan, what did you expect? VCs want to see how adding more money results in asymmetric returns.
I wonder how long he waited for the CPAN nologin case. I remember requesting a CPAN account 3 years back and it took ~2 months for someone to look at and accept.
Past experiences include Cisco (bad incentives, they make a lot of money from certifications and licenses), TP-Link (broke the case physically when pressing a button, was left without updates after some time), Ubiquiti (could not handle the load of my home network. I had the edgerouter-x though which is weak)
I was quite happy with Ubiquity for a while, but their cloud push and constantly moving and hiding features in their UI is driving me mad. Power isn't the issue since I got the UDM-SE. Mikrotik came up as the next router I'll be buying. I just want consistent CLI configuration at this point. Stop moving my cheese and forcing features I don't want.
Why would your customer invest in your system instead of going directly to stocks/ETFs?
The people holding 10k€+ in cash/ bank savings account that I know are old, tech illiterate, afraid of investing, and oblivious to the effects of inflation. They simply store the money somewhere so they can use it later at a short notice.
With these people you have way too much friction with the Coinbase way. Even if you succeeded in convincing them they deserve yield, it will be hard to compete with investing tools that are integrated into their banking apps that show higher profits than you.
You’re right that tech-lilliterate retirees aren’t our customer. Our early adopter is 25-40, digitally comfortable, has money sitting idle not because they’re scared of investing but because they want liquidity and simplicity without decisions.
Stocks/ETFs are a different risk profile you can lose 20% in a quarter. Our yield comes from overcollateralized lending (150-200% collateral). It’s not risk-free, but it’s fundamentally different from equity exposure. We’re filling the gap between “savings account earning nothing” and “invested in markets with real volatility” — liquid, passive, stable yield. That gap doesn’t really exist in European fintech today.
This. In my experience the people actively disliking it have only ever used Jenkins 1 or somewhy only used freestyle jobs.
There are numerous ways to shoot yourself in the foot, though, and everything must be configured properly to get to feature parity with GHA (mail server, plugins, credentials, sso, https, port forwarding, webhooks, GitHub app, ...).
But once those are out of the way, its the most flexible and fastest CI system I have ever used.
>Development fits into the gaps of the day instead of requiring dedicated desk time.
I find myself planning and jotting down things into a notebook while juggling adult/parent responsibilities. On little longer gaps I research. Then when the occasional longer gap happens I'm ready to start cracking on my desktop. I've been only dabbling with AI but have found that writing prompts by hand in the notebook and using the desk time to execute them works well. This also keeps me in the free tier.
