- Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises 1 day ago:
Last job, year ago as of today, worked at small software dev. We were all talking about AI’s usefulness.
No one, not a soul from the CEO down misunderstood the applications. Yeah, it’s great for getting over a hump. Stuck? Meh, maybe the LLM will kick out a useful path I hadn’t known or considered. Got around a problem with PowerShell and Google Calendar, made a neat integration, far faster than I could have figured it myself. All I got was a couple of lines of code, all I needed, wrote the rest myself. Kinda like stealing code off any given site, but faster. Wonderful tool, really!
End of story. AI isn’t writing end-to-end working code, as some leaders think. It’s a damned useful tool for getting around roadblocks, so yeah, you can code faster. We were all amazed. But no one thought it was intelligent or would replace us. But in the end, we’ll need fewer dev hours. Sorry. That’s simply true for competent firms.

Nice! 56th and Marion is my old hood, grew up there. By the time I left Tulsa the place was known as a place to pick up cougars. LOL, I was too young but I tried one night!

😆 Yep! Still there? I threw my 17th birthday party there. Teachers, parents, everyone knew. Terrible opsec. We got busted and kicked out. TWICE.
Gods, I had completely forgotten that. What a night!

Can’t do it. The state guard is an executive branch function only the governor can call on.
OTOH, one would think they could round up armed men of some kind?

It took Hurricane Ivan knocking out the whole region before we could see #1.

Exactly. I was out in the woods plenty as a kid, camping and whatnot. Wasn’t until my mid-30s when I truly saw the Milky Way. That was in deepest Mississippi.

Individual stores don’t make much, it’s just that there’s a shitload of them (7,877) funneling franchise and advertising fees to the top.
The Taco Bell franchise cost can be significant, between $575,600 – $3,370,100.
an average Taco Bell owner can make an average of $80,000 – $90,000 a year
That ain’t jack. I made $83K at my last job sitting on my ass WFH.
Take ALL the CEO’s pay, $3,784,756, smear that out across every employee (175,000), they’d get a lousy $22 Christmas bonus. CEO pay ain’t the problem, it’s just a convenient and visible target.

Hell, when I was an Oklahoman teen you just had to know which store to buy at. Need cigs? Hotel at 51st and Harvard got a machine.
And that’ why we were healthy! You had to ride to get your buzz on! (I’m only partially joking.)

You sound like a fit for Habitat for Humanity. Getting a mortgage on a new home through them was maybe the most impactful change in my life. Pick up the phone and call and ask. It’s free. At least check out their website for your area.

Y’all missing the point.
Best I got is put $1 of gas in the truck. Walk the hood, spy out trash I can sell, go get it in the truck, sell on Facebook Marketplace or a garage sale.

- Comment on Man carrying home his gardening tools arrested by armed police in Manchester 3 days ago:
One note, and not one to say we don’t have a gun problem. But when you tear it down, half the gun deaths are suicides, much of the rest is gang related, remainder being family and friends killing each other. The notion that there’s random shootings all over the place is false.
Notice what we report on! Brown people killing each other barely rates a blurb in local media, if any. AR-15 involved? ALL the reporting. Guy went bugshit in Maine, killed a bunch of people, no reporting on the weapon. (It was an AR-10, basically an AR-15.) Random violence gets headlines.
Most gun violence sites rate any shooting on school grounds as a “school shooting”. I could pop one off at midnight at the local high school. School shooting! Cop shoots a kid. School shooting! While horryfying, it just doesn’t happen as much as it’s made out. We had plenty of guns when I was a kid, no school shootings until Columbine popularized the sport.
I feel this gets the point across. You might notice the MotherJones numbers, hardly a conservative site.
Maybe I’ll contradict my earlier statement; America doesn’t have a gun problem, America has a culture problem. I can illustrate using a local anecdote.
Local guy sees someone breaking into the empty trailer which is on his lot. Motherfucker thought it was A-OK to hide inside the treeline and shoot the guy the next night. He felt within his rights to hunt another human being. People on NextDoor.com were defending the shooter. Well, the cops disagreed, that’s murder one.

Well that’s an eye-opening thought! Yeah, we teens didn’t give two shits about religion, youth group was for meeting girls and boys. And it worked! And now you got me thinking, the adults had to know.
Maybe the idea was that we could get our hormones on without actual sex. Not like I was railing Jenny in the Methodist rumpus room. That came later.

Women will seriously try that! Astonishes me every time, like, have they never seen a rifle shot in a movie?!
OTOH, the women I’ve dated who escaped Mississippi could all shoot like Annie Oakley.
