My friend has a slumlord next to him doing this, he’s charging $250 per application and rejecting everyone. So my friend is renting his spare room to his last tenant and thinking about suing. Fucks up the neighborhood.

All friends are transactional friends when you’re that wealthy, which should be depressing to them, but they carry on and fuck the hollow models and that’s that.

They can hold session memory including 10+ source files, and a looong chat, but when you run into the wall, suddenly it’s eating its own memory to keep going, rather than forcing me to reset the session. Which is interesting, like co-coding with a mild amnesiac. “Hey remember when we just did that thing 2 minutes ago?” I should have started a new session when I branched.

Yep I’ve got a working iOS app, a v.2 branched and on the way, with a ton of MapKit integrations. Unfortunately I’m getting depreciation errors and having to constantly remind the AI that it’s using old code, showing it examples of new code, and then watching it forget as we keep talking.

Still, I have a working iOS app, which only took a few hours. When Jack Dorsey said he’d vibe coded his new app in a long weekend, I’m like, hey me too.

I felt like he started in the tradition of Mr. Wizard, who himself was a teacher who didn’t know the intricacies of every science, but knew how to put together a fantastic and accurate demonstration.

But I think Nye is doing talk shows and shit now, which Mr. Wizard, I don’t think, would have tried to sell himself the same way. He really sold education.

I got banned from the r-place for saying something like this.

Carry on.

Not to sound like one of the ads or articles but I vice coded an iOS app in like 6 hours, it’s not so complex I don’t understand it, it’s multifeatured, I learned a LOT and got a useful thing instead of doing a tutorial with sample project. I don’t regret having that tool. I do regret the lack of any control and oversight and public ownership of this technology but that’s the timeline we’re on, let’s not pretend it’s gay space communism (sigh) but, since AI is probably driving my medical care decisions at the insurance company level, might as well get something to play with.

And the Barbie actually functions as an insulin pump for overnight trips.

There are other causes here.

They’ve been talking for a while about how the low participation in dating by Gen Z women is because they’re tired of being the entire support system for men experiencing a loneliness epidemic.

It’s a lot of pressure for the women to be under, and so they’re withdrawing.

I’m guessing this is one of the driving forces as well. Lack of real, emotionally intimate human connections around them. Many men are quite fucked in that regard right now.

Few years ago I got a Nest Secure to go with my other Google Nest gear. One day Google emailed me to tell me Assistant was now enabled on my security system. Oh, by the way, it has an undocumented microphone!

That’s when I realized what a privacy nightmare Google really is. I know Apple isn’t great but come on.

Oddly enough this IS on my bingo card for today.

Parenting books were serious business, whole generations were raised with Dr Spock for instance, who had fucked up ideas about childrearing.

It’s one thing to ask for tips on getting a baby to sleep, it’s another to ask it for formula recipes. Unfortunately I doubt most parents know the line where it becomes dangerous, but I am hoping here.

Makes me sad that I know exactly what you mean, this new glass shit has me nervously eying the Linux door.

It took decades for the computer revolution to become the personal computer revolution and businesses could adapt workflows and build out new ways to spend their R&D money (remember this was all back when stock buybacks were illegal, so companies were still investing in themselves) to fill the headcounts. It’s taken mere months for generative AI to upend businesses and schools, destroying entire professions. I do not see the two as being highly comparable.

When do we get to the part where a bunch of UNIX logs get projected, backward, on someone’s face

Nationalization is the opposite of privatization, it’s how the US’s bureaucratic state was really built, we should absolutely do this and right now is the time

Japan introduced brake lights that increase intensity based on how hard the driver was braking. 20+ years ago. They tested it in the US and drivers found it to be “confusing.”

Yep there is a point of no return.

I hate to say it, because it’s such a swallow-the-spider, but I hope GP1s are able to help humans overcome food marketing and processed food bullshit. I’m on one myself and it helps me make better decisions because my sugar cravings aren’t leading me around by the nose. As a result I hope to avoid diabetes.

Y’all are rawdogging the substance of this conversation

What if they were meth alligators, and the bites are why he’s high? Then it’s that much more tragic for you to judge.
