I think there's like the meta-bad AI usage idea, in which all other tarpit ideas take root. "Let's outsource critical decision making to a language model." Small scale of this can be seen when attempting to single-shot a

That'd be crazy. The agent has a skill configured to fetch ticket descriptions from Jira by itself. Copy-pasting feels like manual labor.

Totally agree! Bonus level "I have a hammer, all I see is nails": using Claude Code for random non-coding work, like dataset cleaning. It's really convenient to have a script spawning Haikus via `claude` CLI and feeding them

Counterpoint: let's say we connect a speaker to the HTTP server, and every time there's a request, the speaker produces a click. This setup will make audible sound. If it's OK to measure this sound in Hz, then is't OK

What I see in the workplace is, people specifically outsource decisions to LLM. It tries to flag and explain all sorts of landmines, it really sometimes does, but the prompt is "make it work" and "be relentless", and the

The next generation of the user is what I think will be the factor for AI-assisted loss of life, moreso than the models themselves. It's the trust we put in them. The dinosaurs of the before-LLM age will increasingly struggle to conv

This is an entirely false dichotomy though, is it not? One can both know facts and understand logic behind them, it's not like you're creating an RPG character and need to make a choice with limited character points. (Can't s

Good thing casino apps remain up — otherwise the teenager in me would become bored with such a smartphone.

I despise how this incredibly user-hostile move is spun in the title: "Google just gave Android power users a huge sideloading win", as if it was a good thing that Google did for some portion of its users. That's such a blata

A fairly narrow buckets, sure. I think the point of Suno is to make you not search for your specific thing though, and instead produce your own. Searching for niche music has always been a thing. If our goal is to listen for free, we don&#x

Almost nobody listens to others' songs on Suno, that's the entire point. You wouldn't care to order the food as I personally like it -- might be too spicy (or too bland) for your taste. Suno songs are overtuned for personal

So true. AI music gens like Suno can't do Paul Shapera works even remotely, but can recreate a lot of pop or EDM music very faithfully. There's just no distance to close, it's already mainstreamly bad.

If the flow is just typing prompt after prompt into AI, I guess just ignore that it's running and keep typing? Or open a new tab and keep typing. Why does Claude even break the typewriter flow thing that's going for you?

Different person's POV here: I fully expect from my mind to enjoy video games. Then I open Steam, and feel the strong sense of rejection, like eww this is well and truly a disgusting selection of repackaged Unity assets, and I'd l

Staying sane is a gradient. But personally the current war gives hope. Ayatollah was Putin's serious leg to stand on, not just in the region. If Iran's new govt is normalcy-adjacent, not just the terrorist orgs suffer without supp

Another good analogy would be, said theocracy is (was?) like a very bad piece of legacy code, impossible to refactor, until the entire feature gets thrown in the trash.

The need for killswitch I think is self-inflicted. * Mozilla has a track record of forcing unwanted changes on its users. What with Pocket, data collection and telemetry defaults, sponsored links throughout the UI, all the good stuff. * The

Thank you very much! I also feel that the impact of software licensing on violent groups behavior might be low. It is, however, interesting on principle, since it only allows the use by criminals (implicitly), and not by law enforcement. By

The OP doesn't even say "Totally not going to do it", merely "it feels off-mission", so a vibe check away from doing it.

Yep, and that's how he arrived at the $number. If a small number of people were using ad blockers, the cited sum would approach $0 since disabling ad blockers would affect very few page views, right?

Oh I know this bug! Happens with their own Bixby assistant too. (Either Samsung dropped the ball on quality in the last 5-10 years, or I just started to pay attention, but the desire to throw this garbage in the bin is real.)

If your game is essentially a single canvas element, having it user-selectable clearly doesn't help accessibility in any way.

It's trivially solvable with CSS though, isn't it? See the beginning of this stylesheet for example: https://github.com/mvasilkov/board2024/blob/master/out/app.c... — this is from my small

LLM solves this by meeting devs in the middle: the vibe coded DB schema, coupled with agentically-made application code, makes even 20,000 records a "huge scale".

JVM Python exists for the longest time now, where "exists" is purely technical. It's very cursed and bad, keeping in line with the rest of Java-adjacent stack.
