A better analogy is a quality woodworking tool. A sharp planer is mesmerizing as you work the material. A Salesforce-acquistioned enterprise tool that redirects through 15 endpoint…

Not sure I agree. I have also always thought steak was pretty easy. Whether a t-bone on the grill, a flatiron skirt steak, or some garbage-tier sirloin with eggs. It’s simple. Salt…

Ansel Adams’ greatness wasn’t shooting. It was printmaking. He invented a system for getting the maximum tonal range in a print. In fact he spent so much time printmaking that he w…

It's too easy just to drink the glass of pysllium husk and not obsess over data entry and trend analysis. You may even learn that your poops are the alerts.

> They're still building the systems that you already have in place. Bull. They're doing highly sophisticated procrastination. I'll never become a great photographer by vibe coding…

> There's an engineer mindset that tools can solve any and every problem, but do they? No. These people just spend more time fiddling with their computers instead of doing the part…

Guaranteed it would be unable to avoid searching for and selecting songs that specifically mention wood, woodworking, the shop, etc. It's like when you tell it to write something a…

That went over my head, but maybe it was meant to.

Would it be ethical to give these bots a non-stop code review runaround to burn those tokens up?

I keep coming to this thought too. If we really get to the point that AI can produce all the software we need, do any knowledge work we need, why wouldn't Big AI just use it to do …

I’m most curious about what you’ve built with the code factory. Is it just building itself or do you have any outputs that validate it for building something other than AI coding t…

These are absolutely consuming Taipei over the last few months. This spring I saw an AI-generated menu for the first time, and then it was like overnight that now on basically ever…

I use these a lot. If I find I keep front-loading a lot of context I just create an assistant. Like I just created one specific for Qt that includes all the context I kept prefacin…

If you’re a Kagi user you can view the most-blocked list and adopt it

For the same reason that you can make a similar-looking chair, but you can’t distribute a fuzzy copy of Star Wars. The char isn’t a copyrighted work.

Apartment hunting is an unpleasant chore I haven’t had to do since 2022. It hadn’t even occurred to me that AI slop would be the norm. I really have lived to see man-made horrors b…

I’m just collecting training data for my AI.

There’s no way this would work, or work more reliably, than the translator apps we have on phones. In order for this Babelfish sci-fi interface to work, the other party has to be a…

That only worked in first-gen dating sites where you browsed profiles. I think this strategy was called "spearfishing" where you make your profile as polarizing and authentic as po…

I think his usage of spectacle here is the "spectate" kind, not the hullabaloo kind. Spectacles are created to be consumed from the sidelines as a spectator, rather than directly p…

$50/year and Fastmail will let you alias anything@yourdomain.com to your inbox. I use a different email for every company or website I interact with, so I know who spams me.

Man. If I had this kind of mandate I could really burn some tokens. Review each new PR and extract 100 topics to debate related to it. Spin up 1000 sub agents, each with a differen…
