I switched from an Obsidian fanboy to only writing by hand, and I'm never going back. It seemed preposterous to put notes in something I can't back up or "CTRL+F" search, but I've …

That's exactly how I used "AI"... to augment my thinking and writing process. On it's face, it seemed insane to not utilize this instant resource. After a year I could no longer wr…

also a very popular messaging platform for [redacted] enthusiasts

I used to use DuckDuckGo out of protest, despite it being inferior, but sometime in the last year (between general improvements and Google's rapid enshitification) it started outpe…

I'm pretty sure there'd be a double-digit drop in LLM use if Google hasn't made search worse every year for the last decade.

As someone who was getting information this way most of last year, I'm pretty sure I'll never want to again. An increasing number of studies are indicating a reliance on "AI" leads…

I'd gladly suffer the indignity of stepping on a few leaves if I didn't have to listen to an hour of blaring leaf-blower every Tuesday morning.

AI art is like dreams. I'm amused by my own but never want to hear about anyone else's.

I've seen some prank calls (a YouTuber cloned Tucker Carlson's voice and called Alex Jones) but he just had a sound bank with a few pre-generated lines and it fell apart pretty qui…

I've tried giving it languages like Turbo Pascal or telling it to obscure frameworks like fp-ts and while sometimes it's not syntactically perfect, but I can guarntee it's not just…

I don't want to get in a pedantic argument over the definition of "intelligence" but ChatGPT got a 1020 on the SAT https://twitter.com/davidtsong/status/1598767389390573569

yeah, exactly. also the skeptics are really hung up on semantics of "intelligence" and not addressing the model's output, much less where this is going to be in upcoming years. lik…

That's very false in my experience, and I did 100% TDD for years (have a more nuanced approach currently in TypeScript/React) As a programmer with a problem, you first instinct is …

jfc, a coinbase recruiter emailed me just six days ago.

I used to live on a semi-busy street. About once an hour a motorcycle would drive by so loud it would set off multiple car alarms that would then blare for ten to fifteen minutes. …

When Apple does this, it's really hard to undersell the "reliable" aspect of it. The responsiveness and web experience of the first iPhone was just, a generational leap. Same thing…

normalize work starting two hours after dawn. (i think i'm only half joking) also then just move everyone to GMT for the hell of it.

I'd prefer to work an environment where I can't get interrupted synchronously by someone wanting their problem resolved that moment. Also, one thing with those in person interactio…

biggest con is you have to look at it to do anything. being able to turn the heater or defrosters on without looking is a pretty big upside when driving. tesla changing where that …

Writing code is, uh, not remotely the hardest part of software development. Maintaining it is.

it's not just the carousel. it's organic rankings too. we had an emergency AMP project after our traffic dropped 35% due to a smaller competitor implementing AMP and google rewardi…

It's not really. Google will highly reward sites with AMP (even when you're not searching on mobile.) So unless you can survive getting bumped off of the first page of results, not…

This was a decade or so ago, but we used to get a list of ~2 million email addresses that we'd import into a new database and a single mailing would take anywhere from 2 to 3 days …

> But pretending to be someone else for remote voting is already a weak point It's kinda' not, because of practicality. There's enormous risk and time involved to get that one erro…

The problem with VASSAL and Tabletop Simulator and Tabletopia is that... it's awkward to play a real time board game online. There's a lot of down time while everyone else takes th…
