You have invented essentially an _incredible way_ to poison AI image datasets. Step 1: Create .meow images of vegetables, with "per-pixel metadata" instead encoded to represent human faces. Step 2: Get your images included in the

I did. Well, I did until I found lazydocker, a TUI that handles the majority of the day-to-day stuff that I need to do that isn't already written into tasks in my justfile: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydock

The thing is, I have spent the last year being told that I will VERY SOON be able to use a fork to drink soup, and better than any spoon has ever been able to, and in fact pretty soon spoons will be completely outclassed anyway, and I'

It's the unfounded promises that this will be solved because the tech will only get better that really upset me. Because sure, it will get better, I'm pretty certain of that. They'll have additional capabilities, they'll

Taxes pay these pensions. Taxes that citizens have paid for their whole working lives, with the understanding that they would benefit from that pension fund in their later years. It's actually far closer to a "vacation", but

This is honestly kind of hilarious. I fell briefly in love with SSE last summer and started to write a chat/game web server using them, only to step on every rake the author describes and attempt nearly every band-aid solution the MCP

Yeah. Every time I see entirely unfounded claims like that, I remember that I've been seeing them for literal years now. While there have definitely been improvements in AI capability, they have largely been very marginal, while the

I think it was phrased incorrectly and that's leading to this confusion. More accurately, I think, it's that children have rights under the law that must be respected. This changes the law and sets specific situations where these

Literally the only safe way to use an LLM in a business context is as an input to a trusted human expert, and the jury is still out for even that case. Letting an AI pose as customer support is just begging for trouble, and Cursor had their

Yeah, this is the behavior of the stuffy administrator in an 80's sci-fi comedy, minutes before the horror the heroes are trying to warn him from is unleashed. The only question left is "who is going to deliver the quippy one-line

I have a rule regarding AI created content: if you can't be arsed to write it, I can't be arsed to read it. A good presentation is INFINITELY better than a mediocre one. I'm sure we've all seen really good slides before,

As always, citation needed. (Also, grain of salt required, because this is a blatant marketing post.) Look, I've been hearing "the models will get better and make these core problems go away" since it become common to talk ab

Just to drop another two cents in here - I feel like code-first is great when it's a solo project or very experimental, but when you're working on a larger team, or more to the point, working with other teams, spec-first is invalu

This is why I've become a huge fan of Just, which is just a command runner, not a build caching system or anything. It allows you to define a central interface into your project (largely what I find people justify using Make for), but

Mandatory voting, election day a holiday, free transit on election day, and BBQ cookouts at all polling stations. If I ever run for office, this (plus replacing first-past-the-post) might be the entirety of my platform.

This was my thought when browsing this list, too, and it helped crystalize one of the feelings I had when trying to with with LLMs for coding: I'm a senior developer, and I want to develop as a senior developer does, and turn in senior

This assumes that the engineers in question get to choose how to allot their time, and are _allowed_ to spend time to add graceful failure modes. I cannot tell you how many stories I have heard of, and companies I have directly worked at,

"They" or in this case, Apple, has. This is largely why the latest Siri AI enhancements went over so poorly. Hallucinations when trying to get important personal data or accomplish important tasks are not viewed terribly fondly.

I guess my biggest worry is that the ones doing the outsourcing of all this "drudgery" are unlikely to be the workers who are currently being paid to do the work, but the owners who no longer have to pay them. The rest of society
