it's crazy when you tell yourself "man i would love to be friends with that person but that'll probably never come to be" and then it comes to be. actually insane stuff

Ok. So I can't laugh anymore. Guess that laughing is now off the table. Can't let out a little jovial chuckle every now and then. Great. That's just life in 2026 I guess

don't make me tap the sign

i have a decent amount of hours logged doin both closed and open captions and i think this is just the weirdest blend of both of them. their motivation is evident too because the entire reason to have the word-by-word thing is because it drives engagement (yes, that is actually why they do it)

screenshot of a mrbeast video where the captions are bright blue and animating word by word

i'm not sure how much i like the recent dream/mrbeast trend of having ytt subs that animate word-by-word for the entire video. it certainly does not feel accessible (which should be the point) and it's kind of concerning that there's no way to just see regular ones without animations every second

hahahahah lololol hehe hahaha lol

ruby on rails home page

gee, what should the landing page for our WEB FRAMEWORK BE, i suppose maybe something about ai agents and prompts and IPOs instead of a single sentence that describes what the thing itself is

in the future our kids will take cortisol blockers to stop the constant ragebait

happy 17776 day! you should certainly read it if you haven't, it's a fantastic well written and well executed story

not quite

hi, here's my new bluesky post. in it i take my entire lived experience and value system and suggest that it's the way of the world and anyone operating otherwise has a cranial malfunction

hello catboys

i pull tyhe plugs when i get mad

i live inside a rack at us-east-1 . soemteimes they let mecompute

lol

generating 5000000 essays and 90000 pieces of art with the latest ai models and if you don't like them then you're a luddite!!

sometimes i'll log on here like "ok let's give bluesky another try let's see what the feed has for today" and it's literally just uncensored porn and "disliking ai output means you're a bigot" posts Hahahahahah

it's cool that they basically admit that they don't wanna say "claude add a pronoun field to the appview" LOL

in speculation mode i think that lots of people feel some comfort in downplaying the abilities of contemporary ai. i always thought it was more productive to argue why making art with it was potentially harmful to artists rather than just saying HA HA IT CAN'T DRAW HANDS LOOK AT HOW BAD IT IS

i'm not saying non software people shouldn't talk about software, and i think there's plenty to be said about the use of claude in enterprise, but we can't even hold the conversation if people are going to just lie about its capabilities

i know i'm taking the bait here but one of the biggest issues with this place is that everyone has the demeanor of a smug academic. like this claim that -- ontologically (hahahaha Lol) --claude is unable to code beyond a 'basic script'. like what are you even talking about

why is this site perpetually falling apart i want to like it so bad but it's so difficult

valuemaxxing

i've typically named my maximum value variables "maxx" in python to avoid shadowing the built-in max function but i fear with the current memetic state of the world i may have to choose something else

I've been using Blender for 20 years, and it's SO much more user friendly than it used to be. You kids have no idea. I remember when the "auto" button was a picture of a car, 9 1650821, 12359373383726284,3 37462829393, 297739113830214947393938484930, 48338437338, 4758393

even if it's convention i am not capitalizing my constants. i'm sorry. it's just too aggressive

visiting letterboxd dot com is always a fun time for me. it's like a little zoo where they keep the most vitriolic media consumers and Let you throw little treat pellets at them

why doesn't bluesky have pronouns field
