@SmartmanApps Good one "You must log in to continue".

@richaesthetic W hired a robot to be a teacher.

And the Qatari royal family has been unsuccessfully trying to sell it for five years.

CoPilot estimates reopening Alcatraz as a prison will cost around $150 Million and will have 300 inmates. That means each inmate will cost the taxpayer $500,000 per year. That seems expensive to me.

@shawnwildermuth That was a very interesting article. I also looked at the C# version of anonymoun/lamda functions. The notation is slightly different, but I don't see how they are different. Granted the javascript version has a difference about the scope of the implicit "this", and that could be important. I could not find anything on why that might be important.

A reminder: The reason so many firms on their websites constantly urge you to install and use their apps instead of their websites is that the apps typically give them access to VASTLY more data about you and your activities. Don't fall for it.

I have to disagree.

My biggest problem was always getting the stakeholder to define the desired result. The real skill with vibe coding is defining that result without getting involved in how it works.

We skilled developers are increasingly renting the tools of production and operation.

Nowadays, coding is sticking together libraries, that are every bit as opaque as any AI model.

LLMs are not AIs, they are documentation lookups.

The biggest problem with distance learning is that there is no enforcer. Children, by and large, generally do not have the discipline to learn. A good teacher can inspire students to where they become fascinated with a subject the way children become fascinated by their video games and socialization apps.

Learning is like vegetables and the internet algorithms are like candy and junk food.

@jerry I have several mic stands with those 5/8" pins. I found a reducer to 3/8" and 1/4" for camera accessories. That makes them compatible with the Ulanzi, Neewer, and Smallrig world. I bought a OM System tough tg-7 for my macro work instead of a $900-1200 macro lens for my Sony. I love it. Wireless mics work for conversational video but get overdriven when recording a band. The mic on my FX-30 works well enough.

@jerry An excellent design IMHO. I might have put 4" casters on it instead of 2". I love the microphone threaded extension on the top of the tripod. An excellent position for either a light or shotgun mic. It looks like you already have small mic on top of the camera body.

@rocky.lhotka.net I might have gotten it too. I'll try unistalling Power Toys and see what happens.

@harriet But cheese requires less maintenance.

@khalidabuhakmeh I find their explanations in Visual Studio to be a great help in writing good commit/push messages. I usually edit them with a short title.

@mattblaze What makes you think you can speak freely just because you are a US citizen?
