I made a music video and I'm not sorry YouTube video by The PrimeTime

Oooh ThePrimeagen. This is funny.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=alK8...

The left panel is titled AI - MASTER OF ENGINE & CREATION and features a sophisticated, human-like android robot with detailed internal circuits and a glowing brain. Floating text around the robot says - REWRITING GAME ENGINES with a small video screen, GENERATING REALISTIC VIDEO/IMAGES with code on a screen, and CONFIDENCE - 100%. The right panel is titled AI - FRONT-END CSS FAIL and shows a cluttered desk with a distressed small robot next to a frustrated human man pointing aggressively at a computer screen. The computer displays a chaotic webpage full of broken layout elements and a giant black void called a gaping hole. The small robot has a speech bubble that says - I'M DONE! THE FEATURE IS COMPLETE. Floating text phrases on the right side are - BESPOKE INTERACTION NIGHTMARE, CSS IS HARD, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, CAN'T RENDER, LLM CAN'T MATH. The human has a mug with </> and nerdy.dev written on it.

Why does AI suck at front-end?

🗑️ trained on garbage
👀 it can't see
❓ it doesn't know why
🏞️ no environmental control

there's no human v20.2.1 to target. we're a LLM combinatorial explosion

ObsoHTML—the tool to check on obsolete and proprietary HTML elements and attributes—now also provides programmatic access (not just a CLI):

(You can still just check any folder containing HTML by using `npx obsohtml -f /path`.)

Cartoon ranking, the fastest things on earth, in order from a cheetah to an airplane to the speed of light, and ultimately to Israel violating a cease-fire agreement.

CSS or BS? Think you know CSS? Real property or made-up nonsense? 20 rounds. No mercy.

Rather than the same old boring internet pranks, I thought I'd build something more fun this April Fools.

CSS or BS. Can you tell your CSS properties names from BS?

I’d also think that the UN tried a lot more, and that it was precisely the US as well as Israeli lobby work (and Israeli actions on the ground) that curbed their effectiveness.

It seems that the US is firmly anti-UN under Trump, so any such poster could really only show the UN being used by the US.

This is absolutely beautiful and very well done.
