@gazebo_c@chaos.social The Expanse? Not exactly similar in style, but a longer series with a few twists and turns.

Learning so much about Australian culture thanks to #taskmasterAU, like "TAFE!" 💪. And apparently 'bogan' is Australian for red neck? Truly spanning the cultural divide!

@tychotithonus@infosec.exchange it's the way of the road https://youtu.be/PiEClc6HiRs?si=ZfNZIIOqmKzklZWj

@ludicity@mastodon.sprawl.club Nice try libby. Although that might be good too!

@yaelwrites@mastodon.social I definitely find this "claude thinks this..." comments annoying when the team is trying to debut something odd. But at least in that case it's obvious. It would be even more annoying if they were just shuttling the convo back and forth with an LLM. Sometimes I feel like this is happening and I don't know how to call people on it politely. It feels like it would be very rude to ask "am I talking to $person or claude?".

@Viss@mastodon.social I feel like this could be a monthly toot TBH

Beginning my @ludicity@mastodon.sprawl.club story arc with my own ranty blog: https://deliverator.mataroa.blog/blog/new-blog-who-dis/

@onewheelgeek@social.lol this looks awesome! I had looked for something similar, figuring surely someone had built something better than a wall full of clocks set to different time zones. Thank you!

@Natasha_Jay are you me? Coming up on 40 laps 👴

@mttaggart users are truly the worst

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange bit of a terrifying read. As a user of azure for $dayJob, but not really technically tied to it, wonder how bad the dead bodies look on the AWS side of things

@beyondmachines1 "instead of complaining about the toxic atmosphere, why don't you do something about it? Be the change you want to see!"

@seanfobbe@fediscience.org disappointed the reg didn't get comments from the companies on the obvious double standard here. Or at the very least point it out 😞

@lkanies

This seems like a reasonable article, but I still feel like I'm on crazy pills reading some of it.

Design and planning becomes the bottleneck when agents write all the code

Have these people not read Fred Brooks? Design, planning and coordinating with other people has ALWAYS been the bottleneck.

@dk awesome

@bob_zim @cwg1231 I don't want to rain on the formal verification parade. I think it could be an important piece of the puzzle! But I don't think it's a silver bullet. Plus it doesn't solve the human communication piece of things, which is where this thread started.

@bob_zim yup, definitely part of the whole thing. Canada (or is it just Ontario?) has rules about having "engineer" in a job title. Some people complain about artificial gatekeeping, but words are supposed to have meaning. I don't think we've actually figured out what "software engineering" means, let alone have a means of doing it and validating it.

@hazelweakly I fully admit to HATING the mandatory "arts" courses (English lit, sociology, history, etc) I had to do as part of my uni degree. If I were doing it now I would probably have chatgpt'ed my way through most of the essay writing. Which is what I worry is happening with the next generation 😬 I'm at the point in life/career where I realize these were actually really useful. how do we actually illustrate the value of these subjects to future generations? For me I know part of the issue was time management - trying to focus on reading a book and reflecting on it while also juggling all the "engineering" course work. Separate them into their own year/semester?

@TheZeldaZone@mastodon.social there's another related thread for this 😆 https://retro.social/@ifixcoinops/112847682153491798

@ilikepi@hachyderm.io @meredithw@wandering.shop @kboyd@phpc.social this sounds like something @scalzi@mastodon.social would have fun writing? 😀

@meredithw@wandering.shop new book idea: the pathologist starts murdering the authors to get some peace and quiet.

@jasongorman@mastodon.cloud have you tried yelling at the goat? Threatening it's family? Electroshock? I'm sure there's a way to make this goat work, why else would it be worth so much?

@jschuh@infosec.exchange excellent write up, but how do you get this level of information in a click baitey headline? 😜
