I started pre-1.8, in the C-key era. Haven't used it in many years so looking at it every now and then is genuinely shocking to me how much it's progressed. I remember a family member who worked at a triple A game dev studio givin

As one of them, I'm just gonna buy another $20 subscription to OpenAI and use Sol while that's available. Why on earth would I do anything else? Fable is not magical enough to pay for credits for it with the current competition.

Makes me nostalgic for the old days (2000s and early 2010s) when everything was WordWord. Facebook, Instagram, Myspace, Dropbox, etc. Now it's just normal words without vowels. The Grindrification of naming.

I love this author's article about saving half a million dollars with a click from a while back. Nikhil, if you're reading this, I have a decent war story about a similar situation (I was lucky enough that there were two such th

That's the saving grace of it for me tbh AI art shows the philistines for who they are. It's a giant decoy to lure them away from spaces where people are making art of more substance. I feel the same way about things like the abso

If only a cynical Frenchman had written a book critiquing peoples' tendency towards simulating things that don't exist. Neocities is cool, but the medium is the message and we've generally moved on from this (treasured!) past

Same for me. I never use them. I use Fable on highest effort to plan things and then record the plan in tickets. I use Kata, which is CLI and agent oriented, but I suppose Jira or other systems would work too. I tell it to put enough contex

The average American philosophy undergrad gets very little of any philosopher pre-Russell other than a very skewed review of Aristotle. I have no idea about Canada, and there are some exceptions in the US, but average philosophy undergrad w

Acetaminophen should be treated with more caution in general. So many people have reacted with shock and upset when I told them that taking Tylenol (or anything with acetaminophen in it like Dayquil/Nyquil) while drinking can cause imm

"Terrorist" is a floating signifier; it is not a term used by educated people intending other educated adults to discuss it. It's a term used by either the cynical or the dimwitted to elicit emotional responses from an audien

In Houston they also sell boiled crawfish by the pound during crawfish season so you can have a big crawfish dinner with you and your friends without the whole process of making them yourself. The catch is that, like the crawfish, their BBQ

AI will generally err on the side of slavishly copying any reference. I'm having this problem at work lately. Teammates will be asked to implement a new module for <new data integration> into the codebase, and they'll just p
