  • You’re certainly not the only software developer worried about this. Many people across many fields are losing sleep thinking that machine learning is coming for their jobs. Realistically automation is going to eliminate the need for a ton of labor in the coming decades and software is included in that.

    However, I am quite skeptical that neural nets are going to be reading and writing meaningful code at large scales in the near future. If they did we would have much bigger fish to fry because that’s the type of thing that could very well lead to the singularity.

    I think you should spend more time using AI programming tools. That would let you see how primitive they really are in their current state and learn how to leverage them for yourself. It’s reasonable to be concerned that employees will need to use these tools in the near future. That’s because these are new, useful tools and software developers are generally expected to use all tooling that improves their productivity.






  • 401k (employer sponsored) and IRA (individual account) are managed by investment companies. They’re not a state operated asset. It seems unlikely that the government would move it away from these investment companies because they’re probably great a lobbying.

    The law states that these retirement accounts should be completely untouched and recoverable if the company goes bankrupt.

    Historically the market returns have been around 7% annually over the long long term but that fluctuates a lot and might not even be possible into the future but America is good at pumping those numbers up so idk.

    I too met my wife on Omegle. It was in text chat. We were both around 14 years old at the time. I don’t remember what talked about but we ended up exchanging phone numbers. We texted for years and would sometimes play video games together.

    Eventually towards the end of high school I was able to fly out to visit her. I did that a few times and was totally convinced at the point I was in love. So I moved across the country to be with her after graduation.

    Married and few years ago and we’re 27 now so it’s been 13 years since we met on there. :)








  • In iOS 17.1 videos playing in Safari no longer prevent the screen from locking if they aren’t full screen. Maybe that’s intentional but it certainly seems like a bug. I find it very annoying.

    Another Safari regression is the inability to scroll over video elements. Which really breaks the Voyager experience :(

    Also, WatchOS 10.1 broke a bunch of complications for watch faces. They usually just fail to render. Which is also very annoying.

    WatchOS 10 did fix a bug that was around for a long time. My watch used to fail to measure elevation gain while hiking but it works now. So that’s cool.
