OpenAI rings a bell

never played this mode, I might just give it a shot later on, thanks for the off-shoot comment

I honestly wonder how this brainstorming session started...

This is Government, "plausible nonsense" is already being inserted into every single table on a daily basis.

Tangent. Somehow I went into the site using Chrome, which I use for work, and the site is almost unusable, it's ridden with ads, auto-play videos, banners, pop ups, WTF! what a sad state of affairs, I guess this is what most of the web looks like now, pretty shocking once you come off the protection of stuff like uBlock, which is what I use on FF...

My conclusion is that OpenCode is clown-car turboslop with a security posture of “let me bend over for you daddy”

My type of writing.

So people coding with LLMs shouldn't get paid then, right?

Its got that Claude Design thing about it, but it's pleasant, I don't mind the generated designs at all...

This is really good thanks!

Imagine it not being a bug...

Is there any online collection of icons of the Windows 95 through to 2000/Millenium era? I miss a lot of them very dearly.

I started on a new team once and I was integrating some CloudFlare services, I hooked a domain name and I was assigned a nameserver with my lastname and one with my new manager's lastname... nobody ever believed I did not picked those, people still joke about a love story that involves a manager, myself and CloudFlare.

The place is called Falkland Islands, get used to it, it will never change.

Man, you truly are done drinking that kool-aid, you finished the whole jug by the look of it. I'd recommend you to come back to this thread every couple of years and re-read your slop, maybe you'll learn one or two things about yourself while at it.

thanks for the heads up, I have a keychron gathering dust at home, so I'll test this later on. favved the thread anyway, since I'm interested, but will wait for the macOS version.

Bad precedent for the Falkland Islands... Chagos and then Gibraltar, would force the Falklands issue to be addressed more seriously, and that would be extremely unfair, since the argentine moot argument it's a mere chauvinist temper tantrum, fueled by generation after generation of propaganda conditioning by failed governments.

I tried to use Zotero so many times... and then I just tried a few other options, and in the end I realised that Zotero is the standard for academic writing... and I just could never got into it... in the end I used a text file, a literal text file and I am quite proud of my academic writing, I don't wish to do it again, but in the end, what worked for me was a literal piece of crap txt file.

This used to be quite common in Chile as well. I don't think it's that prevalent anymore, but it was very interesting to see the synergy some families built after decades of cohabiting with a "service person" (don't really know what word to use). I met a lot of people that widely regarded their service lady as a mother, they were pretty much raised with them around, so the bonds run deep. I have no doubt some times the compensation might not exactly be the best, but I have met quite a lot of people that are well happy with this arrangement.

I recently figured that Spain went on a war for 700 years, just to carry on in the Arauco war for another 300 years, thus, literally being at war for 1000 years.

I can tell you right now, from an M5 with 16 GB of RAM, I'd be hard pressed to squeeze a bit of ram for a game of sodoku if I'm already running an Android emulator plus a few IDEs and 10 tabs in Chrome... Being able to produce something of note, especially in the gaming space, with 16 GB of ram IS a feat in and of itself

I'm skeptical, as tests go, I think that's burned out now. They could easily be training specifically to get a better pelican...

Rest assured, someone is already working on circumventing this. Necessity is the mother on invention.

— Got it. I can em dash now! — — —

How do you even do an em dash? I don't even thing I've got that on my keyboard

haha! WHAT!? So, we had agents that came with a default setting to request for specific permission to perform an action, then we said "screw it!", we need speed and everybody started coding and releasing agents out in the wild to do whatever they want unchecked... and now we have a product that brings back the safeguards... A few years ago we have abstraction after abstraction coming in the way of blocking actual development (js ecosystem bloat), and now we have layer upon layer for coding with AI...

compressed binaries

I think forums were, and are still largely the solution to the social issue, as you very well describe them... That's why there are still a few out there that thrive in their niches.

The problem is that way back when, circa 2005, all these places were kind nerd, and at that point in time being a nerd was still not something to be proud of, so for most people "the internet" was MSN and Fotolog, and today's internet for most of this cohort is still just an evolution of that stuff (Whatsapp and Facebook), and the newer generation didnt even get to know what the forum-scene was...

So anything people produce today, is either a replacement for nerd forums, which does not need replacement, or the social media that as crappy as it is, just works... The only new social media that is thriving is copies of other platforms that have become too much of an echo chamber to bare, so now we need another echo chamber but one for the other 50%.

I think that's why we see so many riffs on social media, people trying to make a breakthrough on things like, decentralized, more secure, less moderated, more moderated, crypto, paid, X-only, etc

And the reality is that nobody that is hooked, or cares about social media gives a shit about any of that, they want the feed, the masses want what they already have, and everybody else is just looking to be the next vBulletin watercooler reinvention.

That's grand! thanks for offering!

I just always had an interest into it. Cant explain much past that... I spend summers in a farm as a child and I guess I was always fascinated by the ritual of butchering animals, not the killing part particularly, the elegant splitting and portioning of an animal for storage and consumption.

Of course, then I just grew up and you just get on with things...

Cows are heavy. Really heavy. And then after you've got things more or less sorted, you still need to know how to cut it in pieces, this is a lot of manual labor... It's painful slow if you dont know exactly where to cut, and you can spoil the meat if you dont know what you're doing... You need tools and you need to know how to use them... It's just a whole different world. Lets not even go on to actually killing the animal and cleaning it, or all that dance, which I have witnessed and its something else... bah! maybe in another life.
