Preparing them for the future when all of their work will be laid out this way to maximize productivity

A dull knife

A dull knife can still cut. I’ve run across ones so dull they couldn’t cut clear tape on packages. Literally just grabs the tape and it rips off . Like I used my finger.

At that point, isn’t it more of a prop?

It is an ex-knife. It's just resting? It's pinning for the fjords.

Beautiful plumage, ain't it?

$5 USB mic?

If the point is to hide the recording that's not a great way. Especially when many corporate IT solutions monitor USB device connections.

they'd love my little clipboard/AI project name, then

anyone could run this themselves with open web UI and litellm, in fact that's the stack I've been using

i find these discussions comparing the "vision language models" to the old computer vision tech pretty interesting

since there are still strengths the computer vision has, i wonder why someone hasn't made an "über vision language service" that just exposes the old CV APIs as MCP or something, and have both systems work in conjunction to increase accuracy and understanding

ripoff of https://www.chronophoto.app ?

it's really fun/simple so can't feel too bad

I still use it for that. Built a really nice packer based process that pulls in Chef cookbooks and applies them in zero mode. Even have an integration test of the resulting AMI in later stages using test kitchen (Chef's "killer app" imo) with the EC2 driver to spin up an instance with the AMI and run Inspec tests on it.

this is interesting to me, i know Facebook still uses Chef, are there any other FAANGs that do?
