Same reason I always wonder whether I should go for an electrician/mechanic/avion mechanic education if I'm laid off (and cannot find a job).

I'm really not a handyman -- quite the opposite -- it took me and my father 30 minutes to change the car battery last time -- and most of the time was spent on pushing a component dropped to the bottom out of the car. I used to think that more practices bring some sort of linear growth of the skill in the beginning, but now I tend to believe that for certain people (who are not suitable for the trade), the beginning is totally random -- I could practice 100 times and fail 100 tiles randomly, without really learning anything -- because there are an unlimited number of ways to do one thing, theoretically.

Software suits me way more. Soldering is also OK albeit more confusing. Unfortunately there is no trade that primarily deals with microcontrollers, except in military/defense.

For young people out there, it is better to build a desktop gig instead of a laptop. You can't change much in a laptop, unless it is some legacy laptops, but definitely not a Mac. Parents should help their kids to build a 16GB Linux gig. It's going to be more expensive than $599 nowadays due to the price of everything, but still, it is very expansible, and the kid can earn $$ and decide which parts he wants to upgrade.

BTW a laptop is definitely the only choice if the kid wants mobility, though.

The problem of the current situation is that even 5% is considered as a high interest for many people, if not most of them. Inflation already pushes up the base price, and if the interest rate keeps on 5% and above many people simply won't consume, which will further pull down the economy.

For example, we decided to keep our vehicle for another 4-5 years instead of buying a new one. The same Hyundai vehicle of the same model, but different year (2026 v.s. 2020), has gone up 8,000 CAD (10K CAD considering tax), with a much higher rate (5.99% v.s. 0%). There is no way I'm buying another car in the foreseeable future. We can definitely afford it, but we won't.

The whole world has pushed up prices of food, housing and pretty much everything higher. This is the real problem -- although I wouldn't say it is the root problem.

I think that's the purpose of that "flag" button. And that's good enough.

I do. But I haven't found a use of it, yet. I don't even have a ham radio. I guess I just impulsively got a license and that was it.

For people who don't use radio for communication (chat), what do you do? I guess it's useful as an emergency measure, but I could simply purchase an ordianry radio or use my car's, not a ham radio.

What do you mean that Cursor is dead? We are using it, and I see more companies jumping to use it.

However, the shape is there. And no one knows how good the thing is going to be after X months. We are measuring months here, not even years.

I believe there is a theoretical cap about the capability of LLM. I'm wondering what does it look like.

If it explore all these cases after a few month and made the tool itself obsolete, that sounds like a total win to me?

However that don't happen unless firefox just stop developing though. New code comes with new bug, and there must be some people or some tool to find it out.

Other than it brings food to the table and pays back debts, no.

I would rather losing sleep hacking ancient Linux kernel with the help of ChatGPT, knowing that exactly one person is going to use what I code.

I kinda feel the year 2027 is going to be self-fulfilling.
