Attack anything you can't compete against

AI is creating Art, Code, and Music, but only boring stuff that nobody cares about anyway. Sure, AI can generate your logo, or mix some music that you can play at a party, but at s…

I installed it and I use Calibre to send books over wifi. Simple and sweet setup.

Managers are pushing non-trivial code that experienced engineers shouldn't be writing anyway. If you're worried about not being able to write git commit messages anymore, then you …

It's not true at all. I recently vibe coded a REST API in Golang even though I never wrote any production Go code. However, I had to make copious use of my previous experience as a…

By the time we spend all the earths resources to train AI models so that cancer is cured, we could have spent those same resources training real humans. The literacy rate of undeve…

AI is cheap right now thanks to governments or VCs agreeing to lose money. I can use DeepSeek to code all day thanks to the CCP. Nuclear power benefits everyone. Who does AI benefi…

Unlike western powers, The Ottoman empire didn't use slavery and colonialism to create capital. Instead, it wanted slaves so that it could grow its military. The west also made its…

Exactly. I'm a nerd too and we nerds can real hypocrites because we spend too much time alone. I will happily turn a blind eye to world suffering if it means I get to work less but…

It's certainly a great thing that AI is improving (I use AI to write code daily myself), but I wouldn't be calling it impressive because it's essentially all about money and govern…

The west thrived by leveraging slavery and colonialism at the expense of everyone else. Then democracies were built by moving away from both slavery and colonialism so that the wor…

I don't find it jaw-dropping because the idea is quite simple. Just feed the model an enormous amount of unethically sourced data, build data centers that cause droughts, and use a…

They look very similar to Kalisks

The Stranger is good, but I have trouble stick with his other works past the first few chapters because of the tedious and boring aspects you mentioned. I was never a fan of French…

Two great things about Tailwind: - AI already have data about its classes in their training data - No conflicting styles This means that AI doesn't need to reference any existing s…

I've been using the GLM coding plan. During off-peak hours, usage for GLM-5.1 uses only 1x of your quota, which means you get Sonnet-like quality for a fraction of the cost.

I've been working on version 2 of ClaroHQ ( https://clarohq.com ), which is a time blocking app for freelancers. Instead of playing with Start/Stop timers, you log your work with 1…

You don't need to manage spam if you're willing to moderate comments yourself. But a plugin to integrate with Akismet can be installed in a single click. To get the same thing with…

Wordpress is better because it's easy to setup these days, can be fast if you enable caching, and has a comment system, which is a big deal if you want people to interact with your…

Because human singers will usually sing about what they like. They will use their own life experience and imagination to write and sing songs. Other people may or may not like them…

I moved to GLM-5.1 with their coding plan. It's better than both Opus and Sonnet, while costing a ton less. But it does slow down sometimes during peak hour, but I'm a patient man.…

Reddit is doomed anyway. People are using AI to start threads, and other people are using AI to comment on these threads. You can never know what you're interacting with.

Another great resource is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIS2eB-rGv0 It talks about how: - It's much more expensive to shoot down a Shahed drone than to build one. - I…
