  • In the world of Site Reliability Engineering, it’s better to fail than to be inconsistent.

    So I suggest the opposite here. Start out by resolving the site 75% of the time. Then down to 20%, then 100%. Randomly make it not work with no predictably.

    The great thing is if he uses his phone on a cellular network, he can’t be sure whether it’s because the site is working or because something hinky is going on in his network.


  • I don’t think I explained it well.

    I shop at 4, maybe 5, different grocery stores. Some products I have preferences whereas others I don’t.

    For example, say this is my grocery list for the week:

    • grapes (never buy at Walmart)
    • composition notebook
    • ground turkey (only buy at Wegmans, unless there’s a sale)
    • oat milk
    • chocolate chips
    • eggs

    I want an AI to scrape every grocery store’s weekly ad or their website along with any coupons that are available, and determine the best price and, based on patterns of sales, what I should wait on and what time of day I should shop.


  • There was a Twitter post about great uses for AI but it’s not being developed. The one I aligned with was scraping grocery store ads and creating a shopping list based on the best prices and personal preferences.

    AI is solving problems for the business class. They are trying to stop paying people. AI has use cases to actually make our lives better but are antithetical to the capitalistic companies and would likely try to stop any AI use that undermines their bottom line.
