I think GP is pointing out that someone that spends years building a large online gallery of their artwork, only for it to be smushed into a pool of vector mush, has the same reasoning to prevent openAI from using their work as openAI does

A bit snarky, but yes, I've used a photocopier. I guess the shape of the symbol of the start button on the photocopiers I used slipped my mind.

I have actually seen the diamond "start" symbol [0] on ONE consumer-ish appliance! It was an office coffee machine at my old job, big green membrane IEC start button. These symbols are ubiquitous on industrial kit (and in your car

Oh heya man! I’ll give it a closer read when I’m not wasting time at work on HN haha I will say TS source mapping gives me a near identical experience to debugging JS. Even if it’s another artefact to cart around, it’s near invisible once s

I still find that HTMX et al. have weird tooling. I get so much value out of a debugger, especially with event handling, and getting a weird mystery Alpine/HTMX/Hotwire call stack back is kind of weird. Still though, I like it in

For the last few weeks you’ve been mostly posting grammar correction comments. Why? I’ll give you something to keep your interest: wensday.

That kind of sucks :( So much of the "small internet" of the past people talk about in relation to this stuff, is only really preserved in any significant scale by IA. Hope it's not the operator making a big sweeping decision

I think a good way to test if my feelings are anxiety vs informed fear, is to see if I could be proved wrong. If I'm going to be reduced to a "likeable yet dismissive" GPT goon, how do I convince you I'm sitting here wit

The post contains some context about why they were looking for something like the service, gives a short review of why they like it, what they get for the cost, and the lists alternatives at the bottom. It seems quite human to me. Humans te

The curse of popularity. Relatively more people using something, means higher absolute amounts of garbage being made with it. I wouldn't say modern javascript tooling gives you some obscenely high number of foot guns to target practice

Hey this is great! While I don't know if it's for me, I know tons of folks that will love this. Good find! The only thing that I think is missing is a onboarding tool to create an account from another existing mastodon instance ra

I think you kind of answered your question, no? Setting up web things, especially when they have a chance to get quite bursty hug-of-death traffic, is hard for most people. I'd prefer to set things up myself but I know that places me i

Well, to be fair, wasn't this always going to be the end state? I wouldn't be surprised if the choice of subscription plan was mostly because it makes "total value-time received" a really easy calculation. It worked for

Local minima though, that larger group of people have already found the fastest/easiest/most intuitive way to build the everything tool. You've got a lot more prior art to be better than. If your goal is wide adoption and hyp

I never really got into the Etherium development world, (or crypto at all really) but I always found the smart contract environments so interesting. [0] Having "contract" and "address" be top level things seemed so inter

About 40% of the screen is pestering me to download their app to look at an image. That I always find the most annoying. I kind of wish product managers would start from the assumption that users don’t care about your company at all. Impres

I do think there’s a space for 1 dev to make a big impact if it’s 1) very novel and 2) very scoped, like a domain specific language for something they’re very familiar with. Making a new general purpose tool is definitely a big achievement,

They also changed up the site, removing the old screenshots of the now dead Rails view in the files sidebar. :( I do wish they could figure out a way to make that work again.

Hmm... I was kind of hoping the AI integrations would be generalized in the UI, like how the services/problems/etc tool windows can be populated by any plugin. Seems like that's not the case, they have to "partner"

Over the many nuclear reactors, hydro stations, geothermal stations (which I guess is kind of cheating since it measures energy twice), tidal power stations, solar panels, wind turbines, gas and coal fired generators, and all the other odd-

I’m not sure if the specifics but I think embedding an alternative rendering engine within a browser already built around a different one would be a significant chunk of work. I could imagine a sort of quirks mode though, just a few hand se

YES. I wrote something [0] that combined a whole bunch of annoyances I’ve had at past jobs. Web developers tend to use a private definition of the word “accessible” that’s so hyper technical in specification that any conversation about the

To play devils advocate here: the best camera is the one you have with you, and computational photography does mean you can just push a button without thinking and get a clear picture that captures a memory. It’s obviously an argument to sa

This feels hard to verify. The LLM tag, filtered by Java repos [0] returns some results. This only includes repos that tagged their repos which definitely is not all of them. How are you measuring this? Anecdotal factoid is a bit of an oxym

Eh, ok. This feels like something that’s written with the intention to either get me cheering on their side to some comical degree (good job! Down with the fascist!) or to make me seethe in anger. (what snowflakes! I actually WANT to use ba

Basecamp has a lot of features built for agencies. I’m sure lots of agencies use JIRA, but basecamp is definitely more focused on that niche out of the box, where JIRA requires lots of configuration. “Client” accounts that can float across

I've seen the office of the Privacy Commissioner show up in the news a few times. I think the last time was the Tim Horton's app that was silently logging as much info as possible. Are they capable of doing anything? I've see

Cypress, the test runner, was offering up a free t-shirt if you attended any webinar in 2019. The test engineer on my team at the time got us all in on leaving the webinar open in the background. We got a full team set of Cypress shirts! Wa

This feels like it would be useful as a general protocol. A signed app on your phone, can register some special endpoint into a registry that responds with if the user logged into the app is being called. Put some button in the phone interf
