Huge items in the plus column for Quebec City: lots of music stores, and lots of shops where you can buy a really good chef's knife.

What if AI will never reach full autonomy and humans are still needed to give direction and purpose and take responsibility - probably... not all humans like to be masters of AIs all day long and not all (who want to) can do that equally well.

The pendulum has swung far in the direction of favouring machine generated content over that from actual people. I wonder when it will swing back?

i thought german state bureacracy was bad, until i had to go jump through the hoops of (an online retailers) coorporate hellhole of a dev program.

Been working on an old mastodon hosting project I tried to start a few years ago, with a focus on privacy. This is the first big project I've tried to come back to with the help of coding agents and find it invigorating, and gives me the confidence to actually finish the project.

Hypertext is fascinating.

Judgement, taste and quality were always precious skills. In the world of #AInotesfollow, I have become more aware of the fact that it is often hard to put in words why something is good, great or amazing - or just looks good, but is average.

Team vim, team emacs, or team “my editor doesn’t start wars”? One line, no essays. Go!

Any #Netflixnotesfollow shows recommendations? I have no idea what is worth watching (since I rarely watch shows) so now I’m watching The Mentalist from 2008. They had flip phones then.

Well this looks very nice indeed. Just dipping a hoof into the river for now ...
