I don’t know about the $10 temu drills, but Shein fast fashion is produced on the backs of a transient and insecure underclass. https://youtu.be/BeIkPqpVmE8?si=yWwKbmmcsHHHA0CY

I would defer to a native speaker, but Chinese is extremely contextual, and even native speakers often can’t tell you the formal rules of usage for something like this. There’s a lot more listening to register and intuiting intent required

The effect of reduplicating is to make it diminutive. It like adding -ito to the end of a Spanish noun.

So if it’s just a shit-test to see if the applicant has enough grit to grind through an arbitrary filter, and not to measure their aptitude, why not use Minecraft or something? Come into our office and show us how long it takes you to kill

I don't recall them ever taking away lethal weapons after gaining new, less-lethal ones. This is just another tool in the arsenal that demands absolute compliance. Submit now, and let the courts figure out who's right later (hint:

The inundation of AI applications is shitty, but I think this side of the coin—AI interviewer—is even worse. This is degrading for a human applicant, and after the very immediate term it’s probably not going to be very useful. Instead of gr

This is already a thing. Leica cryptographically signs images. Useful for establishing trust for photojournalists I guess. I’m not sure how deep the chain goes. Do they have hardware attention down to the sensor? You could take a picture of

That (theoretically) solves training, but it doesn’t change the fact that even smart models can’t extract useful information from a dead internet, so you’ll always be stuck with a stale training cutoff. This is already a problem I run into

I don’t think that’s fair. Some bloggers may hope for financial reward, but many just want recognition for their creativity, to attract a readership, or build a community around their work. Those are meaningful ends, apart from financial re

Unsettling. I mean, is there any reasonable way to develop software in 2026? I've already sworn off ever installing npm directly on my host. Containerizing everything is laborious enough, but running a separate VM for everything?

I have the same question as GP. Your answer helps a little but not really. I might be naive, but I was under the impression that malicious code escaping a docker image and running amok on my host system was not something I should be too wor

A better analogy is a quality woodworking tool. A sharp planer is mesmerizing as you work the material. A Salesforce-acquistioned enterprise tool that redirects through 15 endpoints over 3000 ms on every link click is the antithesis to that

Not sure I agree. I have also always thought steak was pretty easy. Whether a t-bone on the grill, a flatiron skirt steak, or some garbage-tier sirloin with eggs. It’s simple. Salt, sit, cook a few minutes, rest it a few more and eat. Alway

Ansel Adams’ greatness wasn’t shooting. It was printmaking. He invented a system for getting the maximum tonal range in a print. In fact he spent so much time printmaking that he would sometimes reshoot a print (take a picture of a picture)

It's too easy just to drink the glass of pysllium husk and not obsess over data entry and trend analysis. You may even learn that your poops are the alerts.

> There's an engineer mindset that tools can solve any and every problem, but do they? No. These people just spend more time fiddling with their computers instead of doing the parts of life that it supposedly frees them up to enjoy.

Guaranteed it would be unable to avoid searching for and selecting songs that specifically mention wood, woodworking, the shop, etc. It's like when you tell it to write something and give it a "vibe" or "mood" word

I keep coming to this thought too. If we really get to the point that AI can produce all the software we need, do any knowledge work we need, why wouldn't Big AI just use it to do that and take you out of the loop? Are "AI develop

I’m most curious about what you’ve built with the code factory. Is it just building itself or do you have any outputs that validate it for building something other than AI coding tools?

I use these a lot. If I find I keep front-loading a lot of context I just create an assistant. Like I just created one specific for Qt that includes all the context I kept prefacing questions with. The only thing I wish was a little easier

For the same reason that you can make a similar-looking chair, but you can’t distribute a fuzzy copy of Star Wars. The char isn’t a copyrighted work.
