I was thinking the other day as a kid I would always pester my parents with questions like "how does lightning work?" etc etc. My world view was formed with answers based on what they understood. And sometimes I'm sure they'd just make something up when they didn't know the answers.

Anyway, I guess that's so different now when kids have internet devices in their hands and now even moreso with an AI assistant that has the worlds knowledge

Laughed at the reddit comment

> "We got vibe astronomy before GTA6"

I'm amazed that there's real life fans of George Russell. Kidding. Kind of ;)

I like this sentiment. It's the same I share as well.

The comments seem to have the consensus that these designs are just "ok"

But to me it still seems genuinely amazing that LLM's are able to generate graphics of this high quality with the text and narrative correctly positioned.

Blown away, but also quite sad, about the future of creative endeavours like graphic design

Wow. First i've heard of this but the description sound so relatable. Very interesting, and makes total sense to differentiate from ADHD

is there any way to disprove this?

I'd say it's a lot higher than this. This is just the reported numbers.

I live in London and I'm fairly careless. Yesterday when I hopped onto a bus a driver told me I was crazy for holding my phone out infront of me and that it would be snatched if I kept that up.

I could list 10 people I know that have had their phone stolen at some point in the last few years. I've also seen it happen several times. It's very common.

There's a bit of a difference to me between a calculator and writing.. Creativity. Words aren't just a vessel for ideas. If there were different calculation structures etc and space for people to develop their own styles and approaches to calculate things, then sure.

A person's writing style is developed through what they read. And if human's writing style becomes more homogeneous through AI then that's sort of a shame.

I agree. The natural next step is to have an MCP for a global directory of MCPs that an agent can search to complete jobs.

Can you elaborate on the auditing and telemetry. I'm wondering what you mean by that and how it comes for free any differently from an cli

Fuck it, I love em

This was my university degree honours project 12 years ago, but using oculus rifts!

I've had some real success with Suno. There's one song I made as a joke which is a house track with lyrics about me and my friends which I've genuinely downloaded and listen to regularly.

Yeah the most unbelievable part of this is people randomly chatting in London.

I live in London, and I remember flying to Ireland at some point, and I was seated next to an Irish lady returning home from holiday who sparked up a conversation.

My initial reaction was "Why the fuck are you talking to me?" because I had lived in London so long I was thrown off by a random person sparking conversation. But turns out she was just a lovely Irish lady flying from from holiday

> you shouldn't be bothered that someone else does your hobby better

I don't know, I'd feel this way a little. if it's something that's not obvious how much effort goes into the underlying process, it can feel pretty deflating if the craft behind it has felt like it's eliminated.

I can't really think of a good example, but if my hobby was glueing precision glueing little 3d models, then suddenly the hobby has exploded because 3d printers have made it easy, it suddenly feels like it's devalued my collection of manually crafted plastic models

Agreed!

Especially getting them to generate sequence / flow charts I find is a hack to figure out how everything fits together well.

Claude code is fantastic at quickly tracing through code and building visualisations of how code works together

It's far easier to read diagrams then it is to read code.

To get a good mental model, I'll often get an LLM to generate a few mermaid diagrams to help create a mental model of how everything pieces together

it does though, the same way that an llm can trace imports / dependencies through any coding language.

``` If adding tests, read @./TESTING_INSTRUCTIONS.md

```

It's really supposed to supplement README.md, but targeting an agentic coding loop.

E.g. "Before each commit, do X and Y to validate the changes."

With AGENTS.md you have more flexibility to do something like

``` // AGENTS.md

If implementing a new service, first read @./SERVICE_SETUP.md

If writing tests, first read @./TESTING_SETUP.md

```

Or whatever else might make sense for your project.

My fave I remember seeing years ago was one where a man - over some long period of time - managed to park in every single parking space of a supermarket.

I feel like this energy perfectly encapsulates what dull mans club is all about

Not really relevant, but this triggered a memory of being around 14 years old and getting scammed on Runescape which drove an evil character arch from me to somehow find out how to DDOS players in the duel arena and make absolute bank. I still feel a little guilty about my actions to this day. At the same time, I'm surprised that at 14 I was able to find and pay for a denial of service provider and figure out players IP addresses to intentionally disconnect them

what types of videos have made that have gone viral?

See this is what surprises me. I would have thought voting for a more regular market with higher taxes to the elite would be favourable to the majority non-tech workers, rather than the billionaires which play the puppeteers to trump

I just bought a 32 inch monitor and can't stand it.

27 inch is the sweet spot for me. The further through my career the more i've effective with smaller screen space and I am.

I actually prefer working on my 16 mbp nowadays.

Mine has as well, but it's pretty useful. It's really just a search engine though, but it's indexed confluence and all other internal sites and i've found it pretty useful for everything.

I've seen an AI yearbook photos styled app print money that was serverless.

There's lots of novelty apps atm that, as the other commented stated, just want to get to market as soon as possible to validate an idea

Until you work on a front end code base that's meaningfully large

Has anyone made the transition from VS Code to NeoVim or Zed and succeeded / recommend it?

Years ago I saw a colleague operate as an absolute beast using VS Code with vim bindings and it was impressive to watch.

But I've never watched anyone code in vim/emacs etc and felt it's a more effective editor than vs code.
