The other day my colleague asked Grok:

"Please estimate Elon's IQ based on his timeline"

It estimated 115-130. A decision like this points to the lower end.

New comment by focusgroup0 in "AWS CEO says replacing junior devs with AI is 'one of the dumbest ideas'"

Which is a less dumb idea: replacing new grad junior devs with AI or H1Bs?

Thanks for the feedback. The document model in mongo was slopped together by a junior engineer, so perhaps an unorthodox approach. It is basically flat, and already used in a pseudo-relational manner via in-app join to the existing sqlite store. This blog post inspired me to think, what if we just chucked all the json from mongo into sqlite and used the generated indices? Then we can gradually "strangler fig" endpoint by endpoint

Would this be a good fit for migrating from mongo --> sqlite? A task I am dreading

focusgroup0 — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 18:30:52 +0000

In my neighborhood (a Criminal Justice Reform Zone), the catch and release of repeat criminals caused a surge in break ins. The citizens organized and funded the installation of Flock LPRs. Several criminals have been caught as a result, and crime is now down.

So the impetus is twofold:

- Funding provided by programs such as Operation Stonegarden and other grants

- Activists agitate for Criminal Justice Reform --> Surge in crime --> The People clamor for Enhanced Security Measures and DIY

psychopath Scam Altman does not give a rat's behind about your "privacy"; he is merely trying to keep the grift going and avoid responsibility for his unethical behavior (see also: Scarlett Johanssen's voice)
