looks like they did? https://capybara.info/

funny, I like it for the opposite reason. If I am buying a lot of groceries and want to pack them into my shopping trolley nicely, but there’s a line of 10 people behind me at the cash register. So I need to rush to put everything in as the cashier will just put more and more stuff on the conveyor to the point where other peoples groceries end up mixed with my stuff, because there’s only two lanes and the person right behind me only had 5 things, so the cashier is already handling customer 3 while I’m still packing.

With self checkout, I can decide the speed I want to pack at, make sure I don’t put fragile stuff at the bottom, can take it nice and relaxed. there’s 6 other terminals, so it doesn’t feel like I’m the one blocking the line. Just an overall less stressful experience.

also Gergely Orosz/pragmatic engineer has a pro AI bias and got VERY focused on AI recently, to the point where like 90% of posts are AI focused.

I hate this timeline

I think you misunderstood, i thought it funny that meta is putting expensive GPUs into what amounts to chicken coops. Not that the article was wrong and there’s actual chickens inside

Are these just industrial chicken coops?

You know, this kind of thing:

This is one of the big issues i have in my job. I’m on a dev team but a majority of the people around here are research data scientists. And a shitty 1000 line python script with zero regard for quality, that only really produces a bar chart as output and is never used again after 6 months is all they ever work with. And LLMs are amazing for that. But these data scientists don’t seem to understand that not all software is like that. So it’s really hard to have a real conversation about it.

And wouldn’t you know it, these are some of the same kind of people building this stuff and pushing the vibe coding narrative.

That’s true of most of the tech bros, though. They’re all losers that haven’t built anything themselves and that have been successful despite themselves, not because of themselves, just because they have money and fail upwards
