"It’s not perfect, and notably renders differently in Safari than other browsers but it achieves what I set out to accomplish." This is the part that drives me nuts. I do a lot of generative art with SVGs and avoid the filters alt

Well, SF did make a bunch of offenses practically legal.You can steal almost whatever you want and do serious property damage and only get a citation. You can do this over and over and still not get prosecuted.

No and I agree that this is a question that needs to be answered in the "post copyright" world.

Imo the world needs to find a way past the absurd notion of intellectual property.In a digital world where all collective knowledge is available at anyone's fingerprints ideas like copyright are anachronistic.

A couple of months ago I was in the hospital for routine surgery. When I was in the pre-op area I overheard the conversation happening in the bed next to mine where a person was about to go into unplanned surgery and was consulting with an

I don't completely agree here, but there is some merit to what you are saying with regards to honing on some social cues, gossip, candor, etc. However, I'd still take being in the dark on some of this stuff in exchange for all the

I agree with you. I find remote work infinitely more productive for ambiguous task as well. I have memories of being in an office and getting into conference rooms and dicking around for 30 minutes before the work actually begins. This does

That's a good way of phrasing at it, but unfortunately some young people seem to stay there for a very long time.

I don't have kids of my own, but I have many younger cousins. I've noticed that by age 9-10 a lot of the charm was gone and their personalities were dominated by pop culture. Some re-emerge as normal in their mid-late teens or ear

All from amazon affiliate revenue? That's impressive for only one month. Have you done much promotion?

I think if anything demand is greater now.

That's amazing. How long ago was that?

Maybe the scope of the tasks is different, but I've tried to have it do things like analyze a chat app export in order to help come up with marketing content and it wouldn't do it, because it's "unethical". I'v

It's awful. 9/10 of things I ask Claud, I get denied because it crosses some kind of imaginary ethical boundary that's completely irrelevant.

Technology only moves forward, you never have a choice about that. The choice is either to embrace it or not. At least OpenAI is building this under public scrutiny. How many firms or governments are building the same thing in the shadows?

This is a game of cat and mouse. Arguably a pointless one.

But over the course of their lifetime they cost so much more than just $1k! Worth every penny though.

I don't know why you lump NIMBY with Boomer. I think 99% of people don't want new constructions next to their properties.

I absolutely agree that it's very much a big nothing burger compared to the reaction it got.

Once upon a time I uncovered a bug that recovered $4MM/year in revenue. It was swept under the rug to protect the team and executives that let the blunder continue for as long as it did. I didn't get a raise, but I made some allie

I guess my needs are relatively basic. I like that all I have to do is include it and things look presentable out of the box without me having to do much design work. What are your choices for more complex projects?

The last few web apps I've built: Flask / HTMX / Pico.css / Postgres or Sqlite Dockerized so that it's easy to spin up. Edit: Caddy for webserver.

I liked the story, but I'm not sure what the moral is. I don't think running a company is really what people mean by "lifestyle business". I also think the author seems just as disappointed to not be rich just as many of

They are expensive to run and don't make any money.

This all just means that you need to roll your own monetization functionality. I think there are still people building businesses on top of browser extensions.

The problem is that this requires a federated digital identity provider which is kind of the antithesis of a utopian internet.

Fair enough!

I think it's easier said than done in practice. What it means to have secure defaults varies based on what the production environment looks like, and the reality is that most software is feature rich and isn't usually intended to

The "what" is the hard part, yes, but the other hard part is finding the bandwith to get the business to build this automation. LLMs empower non-engineers with a technical bent to create helpful solutions for themselves.
