It’s getting prohibitively expensive. Before brokers fees were banned in Boston, a $2,000/mo apartment could have cost you $8000 just to move in . That’s for first, last, security and brokers fee. That’s a worst case scenario but even

I’m not a lawyer. However it probably comes down to jurisdiction.

IMO, these agentic guard rails aren't the answer. It seems like we're seeing that the more you stuff context, the more the agents forget and don't follow the guidelines.[1] Things like ArchUnit, static analyzers, and other de

Thanks for sharing. Soviet era animation was creepy in its own right. This adaptation doubly so.

We're closer to the stove, kind of. At least with things like Tovala. I've never actually met someone with one though.

Not saying this is a great solution either, though it beats the trackpad + on screen keyboard. I like to VNC into the deck and do these things.

That’s fair about music. I didn’t even know about Qobuz. I do wonder how long big labels will permit that, but I’m glad it’s here now. E-book DRM is crazy, I agree. I should have included that.

Of course not. Bad marketing is bad marketing.

The same goes for your business. Your AI “art” isn’t eye catching, at first glance it’s lazy. A longer glance it’s unsettling. We’re heading for a really boring period in graphic design.

Gaming is heading in the same direction that TV, movies and music are. It’s a shame. I can invite my friends over, boot up my GameCube to play some Mario Kart Double Dash. As long as the console and disc are okay, I can (hopefully) do that

I am so tired of this. It’s even getting to the point where people without the full context and understanding are meat proxying incorrect information. Reading a bunch of slop that isn’t helpful hinders. If they instead read it, and distill

Your original point was: > This is the same level of arguing that only painting is the real art and photography is just clicking the button And my point was that these two comparisons aren’t the same. They aren’t the same because photogr

Some of the post generation editing, for sure. For the rest of it in my opinion, they're not actually physically doing any of it. There's no friction. Friction is usually viewed as a negative thing but in the arts the constraints

It isn’t. Photographers take the time to seek out things they want to photograph, decide how to compose the shot, maybe pick a subject and have them pose certain ways. Choose their lighting and color grading. That is their essence.

I think for me it's just missing the "essence". Making a film is hard, but that labor with multiple people who are passionate about the project is just as important as the end result. I've been trying to generate concept

I think we as humans are just really good at being able to tell. CGI has been around for decades and yet we can still look at it and say "yeah that was CGI". Uncanny valley I guess?

I agree that it’s abhorrent. However the doomer in me can’t help but think they do these things because consumers still buy them. You’d expect GE to go “Oh yeah well we don’t put ads on OUR fridges.” but it seems like in every industry they

I should probably clarify that something like a television show, movie or game where it’s likely a group of people is still included in my “someone’s heart” even if it’s many hearts. Let’s take Backrooms for an example. In the interviews wi

Even if the machine books are indistinguishable from meat books, why would you want to read something that didn’t come from someone’s heart?

Sums up the whole situation nicely. I’ve been sort of viewing these sites in a similar way I view generated advertising posters. You have no brand, you have no identity. You’re just another business in the crowd that hasn’t put any care int

I hope you’re right. It does seem like we’re finally coming down off the peak of the hype cycle. I use Claude Code daily, but man I am just tired of hearing about AI. I’m tired of holding off on backing up my home server because disks are s

I’ve been using Ubuntu Mono since I can remember. At least since 2012. I haven’t ever been opinionated about fonts but I’ll never not use it. I’m sure there’s a lot of objective ways to rate fonts. I just like it because it looks nice to me
