CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@astronomerritt Have you tried closing the curtains/blinds and waiting until it goes away?

Can't be good, whatever it is. It just doesn't look natural.

@brooke @timbray I was talking to a colleague about that recently. He was talking about his stock trading models and the issues he was having with training them.

I tried to tell him that stock trading is just vibe-coding for stocks. He then tried to explain how it wasn't, starting with "Okay, so think of a brand that you engage with every day…" and I just looked blankly at him because… why would I pay attention to the brands?!

The rest of the discussion was then "So, I've got an Apple phone, so I think other people will want one, so I think they'll do well, so I invest in them". Which is just Vibes. And nothing about when to sell to actually make a profit

@timbray "If Anthropic's Claude or other large language models can understand, maintain, modernize, or even replace COBOL systems…"

That "If" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting!
