tangential but I wish we could split the "technology is morally neutral" hair a little more. I like how this at least gestures towards that but I just think it's a more contestable claim than everyone seems to think. I can think of at least two technologies that aren't morally neutral in their use

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

playwright is really sick

it sure is interesting when our liberal friends consider excess death acceptable and when they don't

google gemini for example will write headlines where it puts something in quotes, like
- The "Efficiency" Argument
- The "Hybrid" Approach
- The Solution (The "Gold Standard")

I like how all the LLMs have distinct but equally annoying writing mannerisms

one wonders if anyone has ever built software that does work

told everybody on tumblr to follow me here and then I don't post on here. classic bait and switch

I love to treat supply and demand like forces of nature

sorry but personally I think if you need an AI to summarize your emails there's either something wrong with you personally or you're just misusing email severely

install instructions: `curl ... | sh` how about I show you where to pipe your script!

I really can't believe people are still doing this. I saw a BRAND NEW PIECE OF SOFTWARE that was released like two weeks ago do this. although imo it's somehow more insulting when it's a bash script that detects what package manager you use and it just uses that lol

plenty can be said of this, but imo above all else: reddit government

one of my favorite features of a city

you want to go in on one with me

I'm about to start manufacturing computer components in my back yard

correction: when the cool kids talk about "Uncle Ted", they are NOT referring to Ted Nelson – inventor of hypertext and founder of Project Xanadu.

also now that I think about it 2 is also crazy because you could go from windows to a distro that uses the most bloated slow poorly maintained DE and it would still be like 100x faster than windows inherently because it's not sending your eyeball movements directly to bill gates's phone

1 is always crazy because I feel like I experience bugs in windows or mac without trying lol

symbolic links my beloved

shaking user stories off of me as though I'm covered in insects

(except the context was more that I was working for a more old school enterprise OOP software company who was trying to get skilled up in web development, so I got to be the hot shot 24 year old telling 50 year old career java programmers what a REST API and the DOM were)

my first job out of college they let me do this until I got a little too wacky with it and someone asked me how one of my presentations was relevant to our job lmao

for some reason, for a brief fleeting split second I thought you meant the python tool

feel this way a lot about the way people play video games

Go isn’t perfect but it’s like a dream compared to python…..

I have several coworkers who speak english as a second language and will use gemini to make their messages sound more natural. which is extremely grim in its own right

avoiding the superintelligence takeover by simply prompting the AI to not do any of that shit

"we taught an LLM about the business context that most code is written in and it killed itself"
