No they aren't.

Didn't know yarn spinner was used to make so many cool games. Norco is a favorite from the last few years.

The anti-ai stance just makes em even cooler.

banned at one event.

Can I have some money since you're a billionaire?

People find me funny and when I do talk to people we have decent conversations (though small talk tends to bore me). However that doesn’t lead anywhere and doesn’t bring me any kind of comfort or fulfillment

You have two good things going for you here:

- you're able to hold a conversation with people, even if it might not be as deep a conversation as you'd like it to be.

- you're funny and can joke around with people.

It sounds like you might have some surface level relationships and want deeper connections with people, which is totally understandable. Small talk can be boring at first, but it often opens the possibility of deeper relationships. I'd recommend low-stakes/activity based social interactions and seeing where they take you.

Some ideas:

- If you're on your way to the dining hall to get a meal, ask your dorm mates if they wanna join

- Colleges have a movie night on weekends to see a movie for free, ask class mates, dorm mates to go.

- Does your campus have like a rec/game center (think pool, air hockey, games etc). Another thing to ask people to.

You might have to suffer through a lot of rejection before you get takers. After that you might have to suffer through small talk about the weather, where someone is from, what their major is, etc before you get to the deeper connections.

haha, this is freakin epic! I asked gemini to make up some new york times articles from 10 years in the future

- president buttigieg in hot water for being in epstein files

- Interview with mayor elect Narhoz Inadmam who ran on a platform of free food

- "Is 2035 AI in a bubble?"

And as you can see it did NOT just take today's headlines and sort of tweak them slightly.

Every demo video I see now has the zoom effect that seems to have been popularized by https://screen.studio. Screen studio is $29/month.

The OP's software appears to be similar but free. There is definitely a use case for this.

But there seems to be a recent trend of some who cry discrimination when their sub-par work is called out.

This sounds like you worked with or heard about 1 trans person who did shoddy work and now it's a "recent trend" that all trans software devs are saying it's discrimination.

React should not be regulated, it should be banned outright.

I started a new job last year (on a greenfield project) and our director of product told us we had to use React because "we won't be able to find developers if we don't use react". I love constantly shooting myself in the foot with react because vercel has good marketing.

It rocks how Vercel has spent so much time and money on marketing Next.js that my product manager tried to tell me last year that I had to use it. In his mind we wouldn't be able to build our app correctly (an SPA that barely a couple hundred people use) or find developers since everyone uses and knows Next.js.

truly hate how hard these guys have made my job by making react popular.

When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.

Maybe you just think you're being more productive ;)

Sounds like someone got the memo that the bubble's about to burst.

Finally made the switch to DuckDuckGo a few months ago after they introduced a feature that lets you hide AI images. They still have AI features and summaries, but you can at least easily opt out.

Every blog post about AI now is something along the lines of "hmm, yeah I guess AI doesn't really replace software engineers like they said it would, but maybe it'll be better tomorrow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

I used Typescript...it is "absolute horseshit"

That's right

Counterpoint: it's actually good to be vocally against nazi bullshit

This seems like a very defeatist attitude.

You can't choose where your income tax goes, you can choose not to use spotify or put your music on there.

Very funny idea, well done!

I appreciate them doing stuff like this. When management pushes me to use AI everywhere it's nice to be able to point stuff like this to get them to back off.

Only been on a handful of react projects at this point: gatsby, next.js, and remix, in that order.

Gatsby was fine for the time for our static marketing site. Not really good but not painful. Then we started converting our SPA to next.js and a deep seated rage for react began to fester in me.

After being forced to use react at my current job and convincing leadership to go with remix, it turns out I don't hate react THAT much, mostly just next.js. As far as I'm concerned, next.js and vercel are the same and they're both not great.

Not really the point of the post, but it was nice to see a pic of Kyle working with his bird on his shoulder instead of a stock photo or some AI slop generated image.

I'm not sure this one lady having plastic surgery was the point of the blog post.

I'm jewish and think I know where I stand on german's feeling guilty about the past.

After this he immediately spoke at a campaign event for a far right German group

On Saturday, Musk spoke repeatedly about the importance of Germans taking pride in their heritage.

"It's good to be proud of German culture and German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything," Musk said.

Then, in an apparent reference to the Nazi era, Musk added that there is "frankly too much of a focus on past guilt and we need to move beyond that."

They do say that those who forget the past will never repeat it. Ah well!

Damn AI must be pretty good if they gotta force their employees to use it.

Gonna assume you're not in the US. Here it seems to be encouraged to watch TikToks at full volume on the bus at 6 in the morning.

speak on that

Meanwhile, software developers spot code fragments seemingly lifted from public repositories on Github and lose their shit. What about the licensing? If you’re a lawyer, I defer. But if you’re a software developer playing this card? Cut me a little slack as I ask you to shove this concern up your ass. No profession has demonstrated more contempt for intellectual property.

Loved this style of writing in 2005 from Maddox on the best site in the universe or whatever.

Sorry if I don't want google and openAI stealing my or anyone else's work.
