Yhippa

Clearly vibe-coded. Cool idea though. I can see what was leveraged from the Wikipedia data set.

Side question: why does Claude prefer dark backgrounds with low-contrast text?

This is not a spending problem. Families spend less on clothing, food, and appliances than a generation ago, adjusted for inflation. [19] The increase is entirely in fixed, non-discretionary costs: housing, healthcare, childcare, education.

I bet the explanation for this is that non-discretionary costs got higher, so people pulled back on discretionary spending. I do wonder if maybe people intentionally pulled back on discretionary spending despite small wage growth over time and capture was performed by housing, healthcare, and childcare. Or incentives by the government caused it. I have no clue.

This post resonates with me. I remember in Kindergarten getting my very first life experience with computing tech: grounding myself by touching the bottom screws of a Apple IIe. I've loved them in nearly the same way as OP.

I get the way he feels. I remember how special this stuff used to be because of how niche it was. It does feel a bit like the normies co-opted it but that is my personal and selfish view.

but on a more tired or rushed day

This has nearly gotten me before, and I got lucky.

If you draft Tom Brady in the sixth round, you can win seven Super Bowls.

Pretty nice life if you ask me.

They had some cool form factors too. I remember I had one of the phones with a landscape slide-out physical keyboard.

Way more fun than JaCoCo (which I actually like): https://www.eclemma.org/jacoco/

An equally rude and aggressive response.

At this point you can abstract what you wrote to any kind of task. I'm seeing people generate multiple takes on one concrete topic, poop out all kinds of artifacts, and keep emitting them within and outside of the company.

Kids aren't allowed to play at the playground unsupervised or walk around anywhere by themselves. Cars are all now 4,000 pounds, have terrible sight lines and are lifeless. I don't like this world.

Wasn't this the same thing when enterprises started using cloud computing? Did the bomb explode for them?

I didn't grow up in Canada, but I miss these days where the universe of knowledge about computer tech and hardware wasn't impossibly large. It was possible to meet with people in meatspace and have real discussions with them. It's possible now, but it doesn't have the same vibe.

I'm curious to know how this will work in practice. I have tried multiple times for Gemini to take a look at what's on my screen on my Android device and create a Google Calendar event from it. A few times it works, but fails in the vast majority of cases.

The first time I soldered, it was for a job interview to work for a professor building gastric pacemakers after university graduation. My eyes were still sharp so it was actually kind of fun.

Is it a requirement in Hawaii because of the generally high prices of everything there?

Just ask Claude and some agents to fix it...

As I'm typing on mine right now, I wonder why they made these so sharp. It hasn't cut me yet, but they are decidedly uncomfortable.

Your first link...I miss portals so much. Rip ig.

I would be careful with calling that kind of design function over style.

Why?

This reminds me. Google Reader had comments enabled from your friends on posts you shared. This was the best form of social media I have ever experienced.

"Alternative Terms" was the giveaway.

He invested a lot of his own life on a promise that didn't pan out

Whose fault is that?

This reminds me of the Hacktoberfest situation where maintainers were getting flooded with low-quality PRs. This could be that, but on steroids and constantly, not just one month.

If they said yes, would you blindly trust them? They told you to "do your own research" effectively and you punted. That would arguably be a more reassuring path for you I assume.

It makes me sad that there are so many of these heavily-upvoted posts now that are hand-wavey about AI and is itself AI-generated. It benefits everyone involved except people like me who are trying to cut through the noise.

This is fascinating. I'll have to try those agentic tasks in the house.

Everything now has to be fully vetted before trying it as opposed to making something weird and quirky. Sad! I miss those days.

I hope he's right! I'm terrified that like 4 companies own my entire life now. I do love the movement back to analog single-purpose devices. Would be neat if they had just enough tech to make them useful but not weaponized against me.

As an aside, can they bring back Symbian OS and Windows Phone?

Stuff like this reads to me like someone wants the internet to be happy fun time that only ever gives me an endless supply of good things to consume and filters out all the bad.

Would someone want the opposite of that?
