Snippet: Preamble On 26 August I posted a long argument here about how people judge whether an AI can learn. It ended on a position I called the attentive witness: I don't know whether there's anything it's like to be this system, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Less than five minutes after it went up, someone took it apart. The part that did it, in substance: I don't know is fine as a starting point, but it isn't a t…

Snippet: Hi everyone, I hope someone on here can help me, I've read countless posts on here and on other sites, have tried to debug with AI, but all to no avail. I don't have a deep enough understanding of all of this to continue debugging on my own / with forum posts, that's why I first tried AI and now am asking you guys. To make it brief: I've bought a Dell HBA330 flashed to IT Mode and am running TrueNAS as a VM within Pr…

Snippet: Hi, I want to share my project, Horas. It's inspired by Dark Orbit and my favorite games. I'm currently looking for a couple of testers to play with and check for bugs. It's a free-to-play game, so if anyone wants to help and test it, I'd really appreciate it. It was difficult, but the server runs 24/7, and I want to build a small community. :'3 https://preview.redd.it/ze113y87scnh1.png?width=1757&format=png&auto=web…

Snippet: I’m researching whether there is room for another CDN product before I build anything. This is mainly a question for people with meaningful CloudFront egress — video, images, downloads, large static assets, etc. Hypothetical offer: - ~$8/TB delivered - flat rate worldwide - no regional pricing - no large monthly commitment - broad global CDN footprint - origin pull / reverse proxy - custom domains + TLS - co…

Snippet: Lately, I've been clearing my backlog of Resident Evil games, and I finally got around to the remake of RE4, which is one of my all-time favorite games. My first experience with the game was on the Wii, but I was new to horror and not very good at games, so I never beat it despite really enjoying it. Eventually, I returned to it on PC and beat it, and I was struck by just how well it held up. This also makes the RE4 …

Snippet: (crossposted to r/stocks ) (1) Exciting times Until quite recently, I was living in blissful ignorance of AI and its impact on markets. As a set-it-and-forget-it investor with no employer to force AI on me, my personal projects and "work" at most required ignoring Google AI overviews when looking stuff up. But all that changed dramatically in 2026. I got my initial mind-blowing taste of AI coding after I finally deci…

Snippet: I genuinely think DevOps or platform engineering is the area of software I enjoy the most. I like CI/CD, Terraform, cloud infrastructure, debugging weird deployment problems, trying to understand why systems fail, automating repetitive things, and generally having ownership instead of just implementing another CRUD endpoint. I’m currently a working student in an SRE/platform team in a big company in Germany. I’ve alr…

Snippet: I’m planning an experiment with an AI agent controlling a small, isolated brokerage account. This is not retirement/core money, and I’m completely prepared for it to underperform or blow itself up. The basic objective: “Maximize the terminal value of this account over 5 years.” I deliberately don’t want to specify an investment strategy. Choosing and adapting the strategy is part of the experiment. Current hard const…

Snippet: I know this is a pretty generic question. But I’m going into my grade 12 year of high school and I’m very concerned about how ai will take so many jobs. I was planning on going for a finance or accounting degree, but I heard that ai will automate a lot of those kind of jobs. So I have a few questions: What kinds of careers are pretty safe from ai? Is it just trades? Is college even worth going to at all anymore? What…
