    For me last phone I thought: “I’ve never dropped a phone so the glass or screen protector broke, and I don’t care about scratches. Why bother? It’s much nicer and thinner without.”

    Guess what, I dropped it on some gravel week #2 of having it. It still lived a long life, but with a very ugly crack in the bottom right corner. Lesson learned.

    Plastic screen protectors suck though, you’re right. Wouldn’t get one that’s not glass.





  • Sorry, I realise this is half-joking and not at all the point of your post, but I find it interesting…

    Otoh, I really don’t want to learn chinese, meh

    It’s unlikely to become the lingua franca over night, especially since Chinese already speak English (well, the ones you’re likely to come in contact with). Maybe your grand-children will learn it in school though.

    Apart from the characters and pronunciation, the latter of which is probably quite easy if taught at an early age, Chinese is quite straightforward. There’s no regular vs irregular verbs because there are no inflections at all - no cases, no tenses, no plural forms. Just plop the words down in the right order and you’re done. And as a second language, I guess we would only use pinyin until quite late in school.












  • I sure hope so, but I have little faith tbh. Cloud providers have done a great job selling serverless solutions that are tightly coupled with the provider. Wise companies have limited themselves to the basics - load balancers, servers, maybe some serverless container solution or kubernetes. The latter can move pretty much anywhere with some, but not a whole lot, of effort. The former, have fun rediscovering the quirks of your new provider’s equivalent of lambdas or whatever (or at worst, rewriting the whole thing).

    I think there is a skill set that’s required to use AI efficiently. You need to know what kind of problems they’re suitable for, be able to recognise when it’s going in circles or hallucinating and you need to be able to troubleshoot and understand whatever it’s outputting. Personally I’ve found it quite useful in many cases.

    A team with one creative and one gets things done is not too bad. I’d take the headline with a grain of salt since AI are known to not always get things done and sometimes will lead their pilots around in circles for no good reason, but still, they don’t really need to be creative to beat most teams.
