  • Yeah all the home school kids in my neighborhood are done by like 10v00AM and are outside playing. I asked one of the parents about it once and she said that she gives them a worksheet to read while they eat breakfast, then reads something to them, then has them fill out a worksheet. Takes 3 hours or less, then the kids are bored and wander the neighborhood until their friends get home from the schoolbus.

  • Ugh, this just reminded me that I had a system architecture document written up at work but needed a diagram to go along with it. One of our enterprise architects recommended that I just feed the document into their new AI diagramming tool.

    I will say, it was very nice that it did the whole thing in less than a minute. I wasn’t a big fan how it was completely wrong. The only thing I can think of is that more people prefer pretty pictures done quickly rather than accurate pictures that take time.

    • “You mean I have to take it somewhere and stand outside every time I need energy?”
    • “Why do I have to put all these fluids in it? And why does it need all these filters, brake pads, and maintenance?”
    • “These things are so slow, why would you ever want to drive one?”
    • “What do you mean I can’t turn on the climate control anytime I want? You mean I have to wait for this thing to heat up?!”
