An LLM may take the interesting parts of my job but the parts that suck (dealing with people) will never be taken over by an LLM.

Indeed. Uber Eats now makes you talk to an AI bot among other customer-hostile issues. I've largely abandoned them. The last straw was a driver leaving the food at some random house I could not even identify from the picture. It made me wait 5 minutes before I could do anything at all. Then it made me talk to a bot.

When I eventually got it to issue a refund I realized they kept the service fees and driver tip. For an order I didn't even receive!

If that's the best they can do I'll just go pick it up myself.

Phone and chat support has already happened, robotic law enforcement is the future. Now pick up that can citizen.

Notably that isn't an accurate reference. The Combine officer is not a robot, so no robotic law enforcement happened.

There IS robot law enforcement as part of combine, so you’re not even a good neckbeard.

2005 Toyota Corolla.

1997... and that's my last car. No way I'm going to be driving around in a piece of spyware.

The day I learned of ghost Facebook profiles, I realized fighting back was impossible.

Support for Youtube playlists please... having to lookup the watch ID on Google after a song is removed to guess what the track was is a highly sucky part of using Youtube for music.

Yes! Definitely adding support for YouTube, I think their API is the only good one Spotify effectively shut down their API

I hate how things are just silent removed. Thanks for taking up the pitchfork, looking forward to your solution's progress.

> I "just want to talk" to this CTO who named US East region 2 as "eu2".

How? Logically I don't get it.

Not OP... all I could come up with is they didn't remember US east vs east US, so landed on EU2 meaning 'east US 2.'

Estados Unidos 2

How does one person talk to another person who named a thing? Well, you can either meet in person and use your mouths, or you can pick up a phone....

(I'm genuinely confused by the "How?" question)

Eastern US 2

I disagree. For large search pages where you're building payloads from multiple records that don't change often, it could be beneficial to use a cache. Your cache ends up helping the most common results to be fetched less often and return data faster.

Samsung. Remember we made an exploding phone?

> The worst thing is they worked out you can blend costs in using AWS marketplace without having to raise due diligence on a new vendor or PO. So up it goes even more.

Not a bug, a feature.

It was such a masterpiece right up there with The Last Of Us.

The model is "outspend others until they're bankrupt".

Known as the Uber model or Amazon vs Diapers.com

It's a shame that the LLM era missed out on coinciding with the zero interest rates era. Just imagine the waste we could create.

> Amazon vs Diapers.com

To be fair that was a little different; Amazon wanted to buy the parent company of Diapers.com so sold at a loss to tank the value of the company so they could buy it cheap.
