On the other hand, after reading Ovid's Metamorphoses, you realize that as far as narratives go there’s nothing new. It’s all been done to death, remixed and rehashed for millennia. The great Ovid probably lifted ideas and tropes from somewhere else.

Yet all those stories in all their forms still sell today, and still impress people.

Not worrying about unoriginality frees you to just enjoy yourself… and just maybe do something original.

>So one way to keep it from getting enshittified, again is to make the barrier to entry just a touch higher, or add friction.

We already had that, it was called crypto mining. Profit motive has taken care of that already

One of my hobbyist workflows involved transcribing ETF prospecti into yaml for an optimizer to optimize over.

Used to take me maybe 10-20 minutes per sheet.

Then I got codex to whip up a script that sends each sheet to a fairly low parameter locally running LLM and I have the yaml in a couple seconds.

My dream is to bootstrap myself to local productivity with providers… I know I’ll never get there because hedonic treadmill etc, but I do feel there’s lots more juice to squeeze. I just need to invest more time into AI engineering…

How long until LLMs are prompting LLMs to write a response to their user query?

Actually, this happens already in a modular way AFAIK…

This already happens with -- e.g. -- Claude Code spawnining parallel agents and then collating their results.

Rockwell Automation has a facility in Katowice, Silesia which was/is a major centre of coal mining and locomotive manufacturing since the 1800s when it was part of Prussia, and continuing through the Polish Republic, WW2 era and beyond.

The industrial heritage is strong.

I interviewed there in 2012. Great people and culture, but salary was shite. Kinda regret, though, from all companies I interviewed, they suit my area of interest and experience the most.

A family member told me they knew of someone who once visited Poland from Yugoslavia and found, in their opinion, that Polish was a Slavic language perfectly suited to the Latin script.

But yes, transliterated Russian doesn’t look quite right- rather cumbersome- and I assume the same would hold true for a Polish Cyrillic.

Argh… I still can’t wrap my head around the esoteric humour. What is a feeduck and seeduck anyway?

There is a common stem:

    snEED
    fEED
    sEED

Now take the implied stem from Chuck and apply it to the rest of the phrase:

    chUCK

Superscaler sounds too much like superscalar…

Pretty sure Duff was a heavily filtered macro beer.

Not saying engineered beer is necessarily bad- Sapporo and Asahi never disappoint- but I imagine you would want to stick to unfiltered and unpasteurized to retain some of the more… alive compounds.
