    People argue that AI can’t replace knowledge work because it won’t be 100% accurate.

    I’m reminded of Pat Helland’s sharing at Amazon they realized they didn’t need the reliability of SQL databases because human error shipping goods was higher. And in either case, you refund.

    "young people can't buy homes because they'd rather buy big fancy TVs"

    I am begging older generations to understand that televisions have gone from "a thing that costs 4 months' salary" to "a thing you get for free when your roommate moves and can't be bothered to take it"

    Little-understood curiosity of @awscloud bill consulting: saving money is secondary. Much more often it's about validating that the current spend is reasonable, engineering has done what they can / should, and providing justification for the CFO to get the hell off their backs.

    The sales page has 3 jobs:

    - Highlight a PROBLEM the potential buyer has, or an OUTCOME they want
    - Prove that the product is THE solution
    - Address and overcome any objections

    perhaps it is a bad thing that none of the world's leading AI companies know how to control their AIs

    So many dedicated circuits. I even maybe (maybe? maybe! dual car chargers!) went overboard with 400A service and two smart panels.
    Aaron Parecki
    Which smart panels did you end up with? I found one and got a bid but it was like $5000 which is a bit more than I want to spend

    Yeah! I forget the name of the product but we’re having a professional version of this that will build up a 3D browsable photo of all the framing / rough-ins.
    Aaron Parecki
    ooh what are you using for that? I'm about to be at this part of the project and so far was just planning on lots of photos and good labeling of the files

    I think the English version of 'too' sounds a bit like a toddler. You have to punctuate with a stamp of your foot.
    'We do too have time to go to the park!'
    Aaron Parecki
    Yes! That's exactly the meaning I was trying to explain

    Of course, when you say "X does not apply to Y", then "X applies to Y too" expresses something contrasting. But this seems to be more a "coincidence" of both sentences' semantics, rather than part of "too".
    Aaron Parecki
    It's a pretty subtle difference, but "X applies to Y too" is not at all the same as "X does too apply to Y". The latter is more like "doch" where it's clearly intended to refute the original claim.

    "Too" is not one, I would argue! It's more "auch" (also in this sentence).
    Aaron Parecki
    When said with the right intonation and emphasis, "too" in that example does do the same thing as "doch" in the German equivalent of the sentence.

    My daughter just asked my birth year and I said 1976, and she said, "Dang! That's close to the Holocaust." And I was going to object, but it's actually closer to the Holocaust than it is to the present day and now I'm messed up for the rest of the day.

    What’s your favourite German word that has no English equivalent?

    Mine is ‘doch’.

    Austin Airport almost gave us the worst air disaster in decades yesterday. These planes were less than 75 feet from each other, literally landing and taking off at the same time, one on top of the other.
