Today we learned: - oo is one letter - there are two Ps in the word Google - there is 1 P in GsooglePlay - there is 1 P in GsooglePay - the word “Google” is actually the word “Play”

This one still works lol google.com/search?q=cease+all+motor+functions

Google, in search, will generate webpages. To anyone. It will show console errors. This, um, won't go well.

If you ignore the health, ethical, social, moral, financial, environmental, creative, cultural, privacy, quality, legal and geopolitical concerns, then this thing really has legs!!

I feel the same. It’s been extremely challenging to be positive and excited about the technology that is permanently changing everything it touches. And not always because of how capable it seems to be, but because of how convincing it is, and the amount of grift around it.

I cannot comprehend how Google has not yet killed Blogger (blogspot.com).

Amaze.

I have this urge to become a content creator as “The Tired Dev” or something.

As a curious person, I started exploring Google Chrome's `LanguageModel` Prompt API that ships with Google Chrome Beta. I built a stupid harness that sends a system prompt and allows it to eval any JS code it wants. It was fun to play around until I asked what is my user agent...

It's almost like there's an upcoming event for the company, heavily focused on AI, where product pushed it to be released.

We have reached AGI. Assholes Going Insane.

Your years of experience cannot be boiled down to a series of prompts, a folder of markdown files. Your brain does not fit in the machine. Don't let them try to convince you otherwise.

The amount of burnout that AI will cause is going to be (another) disaster.

zoom, enhance

I have been experimenting with local LLMs. We say we are so advanced, yet problems I remember seeing decades ago are still comically present. [mlx] Skipping /opt/homebrew/bin/python3 — Python 3.14.4 is too new for mlx-lm [mlx] Skipping /usr/bin/python3 — Python 3.9.6 is too old (need 3.10+)

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Upgrading @astro.build from Vercel to @cloudflare.social Pages was a walk in the park. Upgrading Astro from 5 to 6 requires me to go from Pages to Workers, and I need a 2 year DevOps certification I don't have the time to obtain. This is really, really bad.

I\'d never do such a thing!\n\n[1;31m

Cloudflare launched a website tester to check if your site is AI ready. 0 is good, right?

@jensimmons.bsky.social sorry to bother, but I think I found a Safari bug in a very particular case and it’s driving me insane. For some reason this combination of animations and <details> seem to break painting. codepen.io/editor/wesso... I also sent a feedback report: FB22530086

Omw!

Yep. We are.

Surf.social has a “Minimize Elon Musk” filter. 10/10, no notes.

@surf.social I signed up for the waitlist in 2024. Can I get an invite please 🙏🥺🥺

make incompetence shameful again

A little speechless reading @joost.blog call EmDash "the most interesting thing to happen to content management in years". Joost created Yoast and is basically WordPress royalty.

There’s a high tech robot that self balances and detects obstacles and can walk on stairs. It’s manually controlled by a human somewhere. They can’t hear the person they’re talking to. This dystopia sucks.

I need a silly recovery plan.

As I predicted, this no longer works as of iOS 26.5.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! We're everywhere and we're cool. Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

People complain about having too many useState in a component. Nobody complains about using 3x the code to have the same ergonomics in Redux.

If you could offer advice to a young person aspiring to enter the software engineering field, what would you say?

Getting rid of your employees thinking AI can do their jobs _long term_ is a great strategy if you want to ruin your company.

Thanks @piccalil.li for the shoutout on The Index. If you're not subscribed, you're missing out.

This is so neat. Sadly the library is abusing the fact iOS vibrates if you touch an <input switch> [1]. I wouldn't be surprised if it suddenly stops working in a few months if Apple sees it. 1: webkit.org/blog/15054/a...

> Enabled the customizable <select> element, allowing custom styling and content in <select> dropdowns using appearance: base-select. Woohoo!

this is what it feels like to write code with your fingers these days

where my fellow typescript queers at?

And she'd be right

I’ve just had a billion dollar idea: I’ll make a website that you can ask for something, you’ll pay me directly, and I’ll either complete your request or waste your money. I call it Absolute Incertainty, or AI for short.

[house catches fire because of a defective battery]

It would be funny to have a retro-modern version of these for Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

You buy a TV, it updates and starts showing a notification you don’t want. You seek their support and their automated chat support gives you instructions with menu items that don’t exist on your TV. You try to send an email asking for guidance. You describe the problem. An error occurs. The end.

It seems even Apple can’t get ahold of Liquid Glass themselves. (This is in the latest update to Pages)
