I've heard there's this amendment all about giving individuals and their state the freedom to bear arms in case there's a rogue federal government infringing on their rights. surely its supporters are now are up in arms and standing up for states rights in this moment, right?

thinking of Bret Victors "The Future of Programming" and other artifacts from when we believed not writing code would be a good thing it's challenging to come up with a more misguided abstraction as english text

watching hackers being radicalized to the right of larry ellison by LLMs is maybe not ideal

You cannot technically explain yourself out of UX issues, please stop trying. So often I see users bring up UX issues, and programmers then tell them how much work it was to create their product. It doesn't matter how much work it was!! What matters is if your target audience uses it or not.

ok. I gave someone else who uses Claude a 1 sentence problem involving Bezier curves in simple language that is obscure enough libraries don't bother with. ~30min I get back a 500 line numerical solution in js matching a recent-ish pure math paper that I can't find an implementation for anywhere.

the creator of Mark V. Shaney shitting on you and your text generator should be the last sign you need to know something has gone profoundly awry

this is why computing is bad now. why can i no longer make a chart that surpasses the limits of good taste

it's always DNS but sometimes we hold out hope that it can be regex again too. go on, let the LLM near the firewall rules.

Douglas Adams was a true visionary for realizing that if doors could talk, that would actually be really terrible.

randomly decided to check back in on my old counter-strike skins for the first time in years a few weeks ago during the steam sale. very funny looking numbers. completely cleared out my wish list of mostly cat and fox platformers. silliest and cutest trade i'll ever make. 10/10

Ok this is actually good and extremely funny Yes this is bad in the context of the greater We're Already In A Mild Recession And The Bubble Hasn't Even Burst Yet (bsky.app/profile/carl...) but this, in isolation, is Extremely funny

i wonder if anyone has ever tried designing a materials ui... as in plural

Running a full-network Bluesky relay costs less ($19) than my beefy but ~single user Mastodon hosted instance ($24). People underestimate how much data optimized software can move through efficient protocols on modern non-cloud hardware. https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3lo7a2a4qxg2l

Here’s @blackle.bsky.social showing a few of the CSS hacks from Cohost.org before the community shut down for good. Use these if you dare, lest you too get labelled a #CSS criminal. css-tricks.com/the-lost-css...

look i made it the 1979 ibm warning

AI image detection came up again today and how terrible we'll never know what's real again. to the best of my knowledge the answer is still look at the frequency domain? finding autoregression artifacts had nearly 100% validation set accuracy on state of the art models not that long ago.

A war between transhumanists and trans humanists

GPT 4o can't fix how you held your iPhone though

Just stumbled on this brutal gutpunch of a video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSq6... I've trained The Algorithm to show me stuff like this— randos working on projects and showing them to you? I've never seen this channel but I've seen a dozen like it. Dude fixes radios. The video is not about radios.

[turns on news] is UTF-EBCDIC woke or fascist? [turns off news]

there are no repercussions from doing this. technical nor legal

a very simple test you can do on your local machine to see if you're engaging in the proliferation of any of these scams is to make sure you can cast a 5GB blob directly from the void into a usable data structure if not just do the reverse and document the result as a superior alternative

how are we going to tell the rest of the world that most Americans didn't know they had speeches in Canada?

openai's new model has developed the ability to use box2d to simulate a ball bouncing inside the interior of a rotating tesseract. some are wondering the potential impact on the field of physics. as a personified flying hypercube I feel like I can speak with some authority here... what? lol

computers are a completely normal field where there are databases built on descendants of PICK OS, a database made in the 60s to organize parts for a helicopter that never existed, for a system called Generalized Information Retrieval Language System (GIRLS), as created by a guy named Dick Pick.

I still don't know what to make of an industry consistently enamored by exponentials but shocked whenever someone finds 10x in their back pocket. That should be expected, no? You're brute forcing GEMM at a massive scale. There might be some inefficiencies.

someone who wakes up and decides it would be funny to larp as a time traveling operation paperclip reject is not worth the bandwidth he's receiving in my feed

never let somebody say you cant achieve your dreams. DNS succeeded, you can too

+1 to not getting one shotted by a vercel bill. after cohost and cara it's probably worth pointing this out.

just saw another fedi admin reenter the skyline. it's ok, you can stay, happy to have you... mind if we borrow Tapbots for a second?

Be really careful about blocklists that use chain logic on here btw Like you can always reverse them, just you'd need to notice it had gone off the rails first.
