  • AI as auto complete is exactly what I was thinking.

    I’ve seen lots of cases where AI appears as an auto complete suggestion and I can just hit <TAB> and it finishes the current line. It’s essentially filling in the boilerplate text. Heck in some cases it isn’t even right, but it’s close enough that I can change a few values.

    I also want to point out that this isn’t particularly new technology. This existed before AI. It has perhaps expanded more, but it isn’t a revolutionary improvement, it’s an incremental one. So when we talk about usefulness, I think it is actually more useful.

    Now if it could do all the magic planning and thinking, that would be more useful, but we’re not there yet.








  • Knoppix. I didn’t see it listed yet so I had to chime in.

    I saw it and was confused that computers could run something that wasn’t Windows and wasn’t Mac. Then I was handed a Knoppix LiveCD and suddenly MY computer was Linux. Absolutely blew my mind.

    I then explored Mandrake (now Mandrivia?) for a while but it never really stuck.

    A few years later Ubuntu was handing out LivdCDs to everyone running Warty Warthog and soon after window managers started to use Beryl (?) which let you have a fancy cube desktop. Absolutely pointless but that’s how it all started.



  • I’m still confused by what happened with this film. I knew it was coming out, but I didn’t get around to seeing it opening weekend, then by Wednesday of the next week the headlines stated that it was leaving theaters and heading to streaming.

    I would have seen it in theaters, but once the streaming was announced I didn’t mind waiting another week or two.

    I just saw it and enjoyed it.

    I feel like it didn’t have any time to build momentum, just kicked almost straight to streaming.
