> since the model has taken my place for the most part

Hah, you realize the same thing is going on in your boss's head right? The pie chart of Things-I-Need-stronglikedan-For just shrank tiny bit...

my last employer was using ai to rank developers on most impactful code their prs are shipping.

Not without my knowledge or your knowledge sure. But I'd bet there's significant percentage of the population who is tired of thinking about permission popups and just hit yes yes YES to get the App started. Especially if it forces retries before going forward.

I think they're counting on these popups wearing people out.

After GDPR made these incessant annoying cookie popups mandatory, I just robotically click any button to dismiss it as fast as possible. Some website could probably write "Give root access" in that box and I'd probably click it without thinking.

This is the 1st link posted in /r/unitedairlines anytime someone mentions "starlink". One use-case better covered by https://unitedstarlinktracker.com/ is the upfront log that shows a quick swath of airports that might receive and depart starlink equipped planes. I can CTRL-F -> "RDU" and know immediately my chance of checking this out (not much).

Would it be hard to produce a pie chart showing top 10 airports with most starlink planes arriving/departing?

Oops sorry just saw this - done! https://unitedstarlinktracker.com/#airports

Maybe the opponents consider it a foot in the door; a wedge that can be expanded gradually to include lower tiers at lower percentages AKA the beginning of a WA State Income Tax. There are not few 400k households in Seattle.

The majority of states have one so it's not that big a deal, but it'll be less often said "I'm going to turn down this higher SF offer for Seattle b/c of lower COL...".

I'm not sure where the next refuge will be. Austin? Memphis?

Trying to win this from your couch, I see...

It's in good fun, physically visiting them is way more fun than handing a SIP trunk to a short script + CSV file.

The nerd in me is just always curious about the backend :)

Better not let me near your JSON files then. I pound in wall anchors with the bottom of my drill if my hammer is not within arms reach.

My "family" is multiple devices. M networks (hotel, airport, lounge) and N devices means O(M * N) wifi setups, so carrying a known 200g router means I only have to do O(M+N) setups.

But yeah I also have P family so O(M * P * N) would be a headache.

If your home WiFi uses PSK auth like 99.223% of all homes, you can get to 0 setups by using the same WiFi SSID+PSK on your travel router as the one on your home network.

There are variants of this kind that double as and look like a battery charger (which you should claim) but can also repeat and NAT a wireless signal (which you should helpfully omit). Rumor says mudiv2 but I've never used that so can't confirm.
