Think of it like getting AI to write your boilerplate and that annoying-to-use API, so you can focus on the architecture and the difficult bits.

Sinclair zx80 then an Acorn Atom when I was a kid. You couldn't do much with them if you couldn't program, so...

oh no, that might put upward pressure on Amazon employee salary demands!

The best people have all seemed to fled Amazon the last 24 months. LinkedIn is flooded with long tenured top tech folks leaving. I doubt that gives those left a great deal of leverage and Amazon was never known for market-leading comp.

This is great keep going.

I find mis-en-place is a great optimization, especially if you have kids.

For hot water, I have a 2L thermos which I keep filled with boiling water to make hot drinks, with a quick reboil if necessary, and also to use as cooking water. I think there are plumbed in versions of this which would be even better.

Bread-making - I just use a bread machine to make day-to-day bread (specials hand baked etc on weekends sometimes.) For the daily, I pre-measure ingredients (both wet and dry) for 10+ loaves, individually packaged (kids are a great production line again). The to make the bread, just throw in the packets and press the buttons...

No doubt most people already do this, but for some reason my wife can't get it .. keep everything in the same place all the time. It really wastes time and 'stressergy' to have to hunt for the measuring spoons or the molasses or whatever because they were put back in a different place.

I'm sure commercial chefs could add a huge list of tricks that are still applicable at home to this.

It's _mise en place_, with an e since it's feminine and without dashes.

Thanks. Should I include the underscores?

Clean as you go is a big one for me. I hate having a big cleanup at the end of a meal prep.

Mise en place is ok sometimes but it also generates a lot unnecessary cleaning.

It's a war now?

And far beyond the region

If you have to do this 4-5 days a week, sure, but what if you only have a couple of days of meetings? Seems ideal just as a cheap and safe place to crash privately for a night.

This sounds like the future to me.

For example, you tell the AI you're looking to buy an apartment, show some options.

It'll spin up an interactive map with layers of prices, amenities, etc.

Ask it to warp the map projection to show walk-times to metro stations, and it's do that.

Ask it to add some sliders for price range, walk-distance, 'social class', etc.

Ask to book viewings and it'll spin up a calendar, and web form (if it needs more information from you), and then send emails or fill agency booking forms with that data.

All highly personalized, created for the moment, and potentially disposable.

Why is this useful (assuming the issues other people mention are fixed)?

If you have some spare rpis and a radio it can be pretty interesting to set it up to check on it, tho there are no "real world" utilities, since as the other comments mentions, it is illegal to use that as it is

lol, so 'We know this is crack cocaine mind-control spyware. Give us a seat in the control room'
