Kinda orthogonal to this, but the other day I was looking for a friend's cheer routine on Instagram so I put her school name and cheerleader routine and I got a lot of images and videos of very young girls (like aged 6-16) in very reve

When I did some consulting for an e-commerce company that used Shopify, I had a Colombian coworker who kept confusing Shopify and Spotify which was contagious across our company but we always knew what we were referencing because we dont us

Is Facebook, a company that build software to sell ads, a software company or an ad company? I think its a bit bikesheddy, if not pointless, to try to confine companies to labels like this.

I dont see the correlation between company type (tech/software/X company) and sucking at your job though. Ive never worked for a, as you define it, "software" company because the software ive built has always been in ser

Well yeah, that's the name of the game of most software companies. Anthropic has been fairly good up until the last week or so when it started needing more hand holding to not do things it didn't normally do.

Or I just made a typo. I dont think anyone actually has the understanding that Shopify is a music streaming service and Spotify is a shopping plug-in. I was addressing the latter half of gp's comment which was saying that Spotify has h

What's an "actual software product" and why don't you think web products count as them? I'm a full stack web developer. I've worked for startups and F500 companies. There is always a push for release targets. T

Shopify works well for me but it used to push nonsense like podcasts or audio books that I had no interest in, with no way for me to hide them. I just want to listen to music. Upon looking just now, seems like they have been relegated to th

I have a Samsung Z Fold 7. The stock keyboard is split so it's a bit more comfortable to type on with my thumbs. Granted, this phone is the square form factor and not the wide version but I think the concept stays. My iPad from 2018 st

Yeah pretty much this. I tend to use Astro but I think your point still stands. I wanted to make a basic online agenda in a few different formats for a Toastmasters club and though I could have used raw html and css to build it, but each a

I think the "intent" ( pun not intended) for "intent" to be a moral stance was to not discourage people from trying to do good things for fear they may do something bad and get in trouble or whatever. In an ideal world t

This is what happens when capitalists are charged with designing the future. As long as its more profitable / valuable to shareholders for a company to be negligent then it will continue to do so. IMO technology this powerful should ei

Yeah same, I drew a girl from the Nile Valley in 1100, and I redrew her life a few times and got my daughter's name and my nieces name. "Daughter" died at child birth and "Niece" died of dysentery at age 4... real n

Yeah I think this is it. I played a few times and at one point I was a woman and the average number of children women had was 6 or 7 primarily because most children died pretty early at that time. Was the story or stats true? I dunno. But i

I played with OpenShot and it seemed neat but a bit complicated to use. I found KDenLive more intuitive for my (simplistic) use cases. Maybe I'll give OS4 a... shot 8D

I don't know much about game development but given how intensive some AI models can be i feel like adding LLMs to games can have performance issues, whereas in-game AI for computer controlled characters works in-enginer.

Off now, but historically even at camera on companies I'd do whatever and just hold my phone when convenient for me or just shove the meeting in my pocket if I need my hands. Obviously depends on your team culture, but try it :)

I do agree with you, but I found that with good llm discipline you can prevent the llm from chugging in the wrong direction with a bit of planning and good ol engineering before even talking to the llm.
