“We need to know how dangerous these skibidi people are, how safe our toilets are from them, and if they are vulnerable to labubu attacks!”

There’s are still some consumer TVs out there that allow you to use the green without an Internet connection. Although they are kinda rare these days.

Sony Bravia. Because I just did this last year. My old TV was also a Bravia, and it lasted about 15 years. One big selling feature for me was that you can set it up as either a smart TV, or a ‘basic’ TV that doesn’t require an Internet connection and doesn’t pester you for one.

Amen. I’ve tried the vibe coding thing but it’s frustrating because a) too often the AI output has some profound problems and it gets annoying ‘babysitting’ it; and b) I usually prefer the challenge of figuring out syntax and implementation issues myself.

If something is taking too long I’ll ask the LLM. But I feel like if I do this too much my skill set will atrophy and I’ll lose my sharpness. So it’s a balancing act.

But this brings up another wider question: where is the line between “occasionally getting AI help” and “vibe coding”? Surely it’s subjective.

It’s almost like he’s full of shit and he’s nothing but a snake oil salesman, eh.

They’ve been talking about replacing software developers with automated/AI systems for a quarter of a century. Probably longer then that, in fact.

We’re definitely closer to that than ever. But there’s still a huge step between some rando vibe coding a one page web app and developers augmenting their work with AI, and someone building a complex, business rule heavy, heavy load, scalable real world system. The chronic under-appreciation of engineering and design experience continues unabated.

Anthropic, Open AI, etc? They will continue to hype their own products with outrageous claims. Because that’s what gets them more VC money. Grifters gonna grift.

He sounds like a gnat on speed.

Government when Banksy creates artwork critical of their rivals: “Haha, so true! We’ll let this fine artwork stay up.”

Government when Banksy creates artwork critical of them: “Our feelings are hurt and we’re removing this vile graffiti post-haste!”

Everyone should just refer to the DoD as the Department of Epstein Files from now on. Because this is yet another flagrantly transparent attempt to distract everyone away from that issue.

Give it about a month and I’m sure there will be (…unfortunately).

For anyone who’s not aware, there are some pretty cool open source Minecraft options. Like Luanti (which is more like a playground for all sorts of FOSS Minecraft variants).

Yeah it’s crazy. They are trying to cater to older users, probably because they feel they can get more money from them.

It should at the very least get a new, better CEO. And also calm down with their focus on getting older users and encouraging user dating services. They have a solid user base with younger users, and should be focused on them and their protection.

But yeah, just shutting down might be the best option.

This is much more accurate. Coasts vs the middle. Although you also have the likes of Colorado and New Mexico as honorary coastal states. And the likes of the Gulf Coast and Florida not being in that Coastal State group.

I wouldn’t worry too much about California wanting to be in charge. That’s not really our jam. We just want to be part of a constructive collective at this point. We’ve spent several decades in an abusive relationship at this point, with all the red states shitting on us whatever we do.

An essay explaining why each of the three states should going would be fun though. All three would have a lot to offer Canada.

(ETA: not because I want to see America collapse, but because I like Canada and the West Coast would be a good ideological fit to most of Canada)

Well, I guess that’s one way of reducing their population. It’s a fucking shitty way. But it’s still a way.

Is it for the Four Seasons fiasco? The zipper at the hotel incident? Or the Nosferatu black ink sideburns?

They’ve been going after private server farms for years, so this is nothing new really. For example, Blizzard forced Nostralrius (sp?) servers to shut down about 10 years ago.
