“Siri, can I fit this spoonful of food in my mouth? Will this shirt fit me? Do I know how to walk? Will you please cook me more chicken tendies?” #wwdc

Please do not invite me to any parties you used a chat bot to set up. #wwdc

I’ve found a way to use Hacker News without damaging my mental health: read the articles and never open the comments. It’s a much better experience; it actually makes it palatable to visit it again.

I remember in my early days of Photoshop use that I fretted about filters because I was limiting my learning and not actually doing any editing worthy of credit. Twenty years later, people are typing into a coding chat bot, copying and pasting the results, and claiming they “made” a program. Please.

I don’t follow sports and I care very little about basketball so I realize that my opinion doesn’t matter, but I’ve seen the flopping clips and feel confident that the elimination could go to no team more deserving of a loss than the Oklahoma City Thunder.

YouTube content creators and influencers, do you know why they call them “lav” mics? Look it up! Try it out!

Hello, YouTube. giantbomb.com/articles/gia...

I think pro-city country songs about mixed development and bike riding would be pretty funny

I see we’re getting into several showers a day weather of Oklahoma

Take this claim with a pinch of salt. I don't think everyone is / will be telling the truth. Remember the #1 thing every AI bro does is "LIE". And this only covers the use of Gen-AI, but code, audio, and story can still be stolen, and to some (who said it themselves), that this was considered okay.

I love median voters. I love how after the disaster of Trump 2 so far, the lesson these two voters came away with was "Boy you really can't trust Republicans or Democrats! I'm smart!"

I think part of my problem with social media is my fundamental misunderstanding of its goal, which is less about trying to better understand people and is more about just being angry in public.

It amuses me when people say one must coddle the ego of someone who is in the wrong to convince them, because hello, hi, it’s me, someone who wasn’t coddled and still changed his mind. People say it earnestly to my face that I basically can’t exist, that blunt truths just can’t change minds! Wrong!

People have said that satire is dead because modern life is already too bizarre but The Onion is proving them wrong 🧅 youtube.com/watch?v=ZaZP...

Having kids who all want to rush out right after a meal and play in the sunset has me REEEEEEEAAAALLLLY hating daylight saving time. There’s no cooldown, no drifting to a restful time. It’s playplayplayplayplay bedtime if we’re lucky, but more likely is a full shower regimen because they’re sweaty.

Looks like the entire bluesky team is a bunch of jerks. Even their "engineers" are now writing bluesky using AI. Social media is dead, there's no alternative that is now owned or made by idiots. Sigh... I'll have to think about what to do, maybe it's time to disappear from the internet.

I’m comforted in knowing the worst, most nonsensical, mindlessly pro-AI opinions are always available to me at Hacker News, should I ever have the need of frustration

I’ve been trying to learn how to use my new EP-133 and I keep coming across Charlie Puth videos. Is that guy a known creep? He keeps giving me the impression that he’s secretly DMing teenaged girls.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Folks that have bought new Playdates: we know you’ve had trouble registering them, and we apologize. :( The good news: REGISTRATION IS WORKING NOW so please try and register again -as soon as possible-

I have no idea what I’m doing. #ep133 #koii

Oh, FedEx’s estimated delivery time was inaccurate? Shocking! What a strange and absolutely unique turn of events!

Sorry, you caught me a little out of breath; I’ve just been busy dancing on Sora’s grave

Today’s Daily Cartoon, by Ivan Ehlers.

Both the Wall Street Journal and The Information confirming that OpenAI is killing Sora - both the app and *access to its video-generating model for developers*. This is a huge move that suggests things are a bit desperate www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open... www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...

Behold this immutable fact of city-building. We've always built the most expensive way possible. Previous council took real, bold steps to fix this. New council debating repeal. In it's place, what? Anything? Another panel? Another study? #Housing #Rezoning #yyc #yyccc #Sprawl #UrbanSprawl #Density

2025: it’s lazy to work at home 2026: it’s selfish to drive to work

thanks to AI our slow and humiliating national suicide will be punctuated by visual media that is so good even a dog could jack off to it

Jesus, look at this by @pkrugman.bsky.social. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-whiff-of...

My newsletter today is about @katmabu.bsky.social's campaign. Democrats keep asking how to reach voters who've given up on the party. Kat Abughazaleh spent a year trying to answer that question. She lost, but the answer is still right. www.readtpa.com/p/what-if-we...

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is very very low level of job creation. If you adjust the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

Kat Abughazaleh used her campaign to try a lot of things that the party should been embracing a long time ago. The entire left coalition is better off because she ran.

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

And like I planned the timing of my post, @edzitron.com puts out another great newsletter that shares the same anxieties I tried to present in a comical light: what if web devs stop understanding how to code? I’ve already seen mild cases of AI brain happening in my workplace. What if it gets worse?

I have tried more than once to listen to those rewatch/reminisce podcasts the TV and movie actors keep making and I can’t shake the feeling that this is that just a “cool” version of the depressed neighbor talking about his high school football career

I’m taking the Idiocracy route with AI: sure, I’m a mediocre AT BEST web dev now, but give it a few years and you’ll be begging me for advice for getting plants to grow

It’s a shame the Playdate Catalog sale doesn’t last longer because I only have so much money to spend each month — and I’ve already bought so much that I’ve reached my limit for March!

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Ever since Design Thinking made UX salient enough to get taken from agencies to in-house, the "design process" conversation has never been "how are you making good decisions?" but "how well are you squeezing yourself into the gap between the business & the dev team?"

I have long felt that design in Agile doesn’t fit, requires its own process, and perhaps even highlights the problems Agile can’t overcome: that it’s a purely development-focused methodology and little work is based purely in development cycles.

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

OG&E keeps sending me text updates letting me know that my house, which continues to be without power due to high winds, has had its power restored. I have to keep contradicting them, restarting this process. So weird.
