Both indeed. I'm older, I do consulting, often to the new school AI CEOs and they keep thinking I'm nuts for saying we should bring in this person to talk to about this thing...I've tried to explain to a few folks now a human would be much better in this loop, but I have no good way to prove it as it's just experience.
I've noticed across the board, they also spend A LOT of time getting all the data into LLMs so they can talk to them instead of just reading reports, like bro, you don't understand churn fundamentally, why are you looking at these numbers??
I talked to a friend recently who is a plastic surgeon. He told me about a young pretty girl came in recently with super clear ideas what she wanted to fixed.
Turns out she uploaded her pictures to an LLM and it gave her recommendations.
My friend told her she didn’t need any treatment at this stage but she kept insisting that the LLM had told her this and that.
I’m worried that these young folks just trust whatever these things tell them to do is right.
I've been using elixir / phoenix / liveview for a year now, basically since LLM coding has been a thing and it's been transformative. The usual "getting started" problems were so diminished that i feel like i hardly missed a beat. The usual "this won't compile / how do i do this in a new unknown language" issues that previously could have taken hours to resolve were basically gone. My LLM pair programmer just took care of it.
Coming from python / django / cue, it's a breath of fresh air. It's so much easier as all the paradigms come built in with the stack (async workers, etc). The elixir / erlang library is surprisingly complete.
With regards to producing code, it seems to be doing very well. The most impressive thing it did for me was a PDF OCR from scratch using google cloud. All i had to do was plug in my credentials, hook up the code and it just worked. Magic.
No reference here but found this out the hard way too. Google search Ali is Utterly useless in fact and entirely different search results vs using the web. Bing is better. Haven’t tried ksgi yet
It’s actually much more that the ozone layer, which filters uv, is much thinner than it was even 60-70 years ago. The ozone layer might be growing again, but at a very slow pace.
Simple fact is, we’re much more exposed to uv than prior generations.
It's hard to know for sure, but the majority of these flights are probably going to be transfers. I've never set foot in LA but I've taken that flight several times.
Even so, there are only ~20k daily seats between the two cities. The ridership on successful high speed rail lines elsewhere in the world are measured in the hundreds of thousands per day.
Why couldn't one part of the journey be by rail, and the other by air? There is a already a lot of shared planning to allow this to happen, with some railway stations even having IATA codes.
I agree this is the ideal situation, but as it stands CAHSR is planned to terminate at union station in LA, quite far from LAX. Ideally LA metro or metrolink would build a direct connection between union station and LAX, but that hasn't begun to be planned and unfortunately it's very difficult to get transit built in LA. For instance the Sepulveda line— one of the most important lines for LA— is at risk of being killed because ticket master's ex-CEO doesn't want a train line running under his house.

Is macOS up to scratch to be used as a server these days? Last I checked it would always run into trouble / randomly reboot / become unavailable whenever a new OS update became available. Admittedly this is about 2 years ago.
If so, this would be great. Particularly to repurpose older macs.
Personally I wouldn’t recommend macOS as a server OS unless you’re doing something that is specifically macOS dependent (like automated e2e testing of macOS / iOS software).
Everything server related that is easy to do on Linux or BSD is at least an order of magnitude more painful on macOS. And like Windows, you cannot run it headless. In fact Windows actually had better support for running headless than macOS despite macOS’s unix heritage.
Also if you need to run macOS on anything other than spare hardware, then expect to pay a premium. This is particularly true of hosting macOS instances in the cloud.
Every time I’ve needed to run macOS as a server, which is a depressingly large amount of times over the years — I’ve had to do that in every job bar one — it’s been a painful process and I’ve had to accept compromises to what would normally be best practices.
Stuff like Tart does make things a little easier. But given how locked down macOS and its hardware are, it really should be something Apple gave a lot more love to themselves. Instead they went the other way and discontinued Mac Server, albeit that was some number of years ago now. And things haven’t gotten any better since.
As a battle hardened unix greybeard, I’d still prefer to administrate enterprise Windows server over “enterprise macOS” servers.
That all said, for any hobby projects, anything is fair game. So if you have spare hardware then go for it. Just don’t expect it to be as “fun” as running Debian on a Rasberry Pi or similar other traditional hobby set ups
Years ago I had to administer Jenkins on a MacOS build machine. It broke often. I would have to VNC in to accept license agreements and other trivial tasks. I am nowhere near your level but even what little I wanted was an unnecessary PITA to achieve and maintain.
macOS has VNC built in so it can run as a "headless computer" but you cannot run it without the GUI. So you end up paying a massive memory and disk storage tax for running any CLI tools.
The problem is that Bart network will barely get denser. At the rate they're building it, your great great great great great grandkids will live in a bay area where most people don't need to jump on a car to get to work.
We can do better. It's not magic. But we don't. And that is pathetic.
Just get one of the tailwind UX kits and use their classes as your standard style guide. I personally use flowise as it’s free with paid more complex components if needed, but there are a bunch of others out there that fill the same space.
On a new project, sure maybe going with tailwind + a theme/kit is a bit more up to date than using bootstrap. But on an existing page that already looked fine with bootstrap, why bother with the extra work?
The same can be said about Bootstrap, though. Just get a theme to make it look less bootstrapy. I think both viable ways to go, and it just boils down to personal preference (especially for hobby projects).
