That title took me a minute to parse

  1. I've been on stable investments for some time, CDs have been high enough to justify missing out on stock market madness
  2. holding cash, maybe half of my portfolio is easily liquified, and I have a mental model of reasonable dips. I think if the economy truly tanks having cash will be huge
  3. it's uncertain how long a downturn would stay in effect, I'm prepared for about 3 years
  4. looking into emigration, there are more stable countries about
  5. passport renewal
  6. vpn

It's a privilege to even be able to prepare for this storm, most Americans don't have the means

Who, specifically, made this choice?

For me when somebody apologizes a lot it feels as though there is a subtle belief that I am the type of person who would be annoyed by the things being apologized for. As though their apology implies that I am an impatient or otherwise short fused person.

It’s important to me that I am patient and forgiving so excessive apologies subtly make me feel like I may be projecting some impatience. Ironically the very activity of constant apologies does lead me to be slightly impatient, quite the conundrum.

Is this an ai honeypot or something? That article and that summary are completely different, the title and the article match though.

Had an old roommate flame me in his journal, he'd rushed out leaving the page open and I saw my name when I went in his room to drop something off.

He said some incredibly valid shit about me being condescending and it changed my outlook on my whole life. Nobody lies to their journal.

After your post I went and tried it today, in my tests on a medium sized repo cline actually killed it, very similar performance to cursor. Roo code was slightly better for me compared to cline, both roo code and cursor landed some acceptable changes in an existing repo with the same prompt, about 300ish lines of code. I used anthropic for everything for an apples to apples comparison, will try out gemini this week.

I'd love to see somebody do a price breakdown of a full month of constant use for both systems.

That's an interesting question, they do have quite a few premade prompts and domain experience which cline may or may not have exact matches of

I find claude-code a more interesting example of a cursor killer, but the unlimited context size ramps up costs tremendously.

What's the cutoff? Mctiernan wasn't poor.

I really liked Nathan Stark (Ed Quinn) on Eureka, honestly felt like he was a better character than the main protagonist. He wasn't a direct antagonist but he was written as a rival iirc

A few friends got emails today about Mass General moving forward with layoffs this week. Anyone you know affected already?

 

Artificial Superintelligence, AI systems that are more intelligent than humans across every domain, may or may not be coming soon

What could we do to prepare now for a future where it has arrived?

I have been considering:

  • starting local community groups
  • updating my investment strategies to be more resilient to market disruption
  • diversifying personal income streams
  • staying up to date with the latest news and learn to better use the latest tools/technology
  • upgrading personal skills towards the harder to replace industries

It's a bit difficult to imagine a truly "safe" way of life. Barring UBI and more progressive taxes it seems like it may be quite challenging for the average person to exist comfortably.

Some industries that are already impacted at the level of technology we already have

  • programming
  • ui design
  • creative writing
  • technical writing
  • customer support
  • graphic art
  • data analysis

I think almost every other industry is at risk of significant disruption. A capitalism based society will always stray toward the cheapest option, "if AI can take customer support calls for $1/day and customer satisfaction doesn't dip, why would I pay a person $150/day?"
