kaptainscarlet··on Human brains are preconfigured with instructions for understanding the world

As long as the cat catches the mice... :-)
kaptainscarlet··on ChatGPT Atlas
> But they open up the gate for a single Big Tech Winner that truly knows everything about you, and can even control everything on your behalf.

We have had that for over a decade, and the Big Tech is called Google. By owning Android, Google pretty much owns and knows everything about its users. The same applies to Apple.

I got a rate limit error which didn't make sense since it was my first time opening reddit in hours.
kaptainscarlet··on Macro Splats 2025
I have the opposite experience to you. This website is one of the few websites I can read clearly without any blurred edges with my glasses on.
kaptainscarlet··on The great software quality collapse or, how we normalized catastrophe
I believe it's a natural evolution that occurs in all systems, including software. Every line of code you write is a liability that increases the risk of failure. The risk compounds and so does the frequency of errors.
kaptainscarlet··on AMD signs AI chip-supply deal with OpenAI, gives it option to take a 10% stake
Compute resources.
kaptainscarlet··on Trevor Milton's Nikola case dropped by SEC following Trump pardon
It's not a lack of integrity. Such people actually believe their own bs. They are functional schizophrenics.
kaptainscarlet··on Zoox robotaxi launches in Las Vegas
Tiredness is a big one. I was driven by a guy who had worked nonstop for a whole weekend. It was one of the most terrifying drives of my life. I had to tell him to park and sleep outside my house, or else I would report him to Uber.

it's extremely quick on my M3 Mac too.
kaptainscarlet··on Liquid Glass in the Browser: Refraction with CSS and SVG
probably shaders are compiling and initialising on every drag movement
kaptainscarlet··on We're Joining OpenAI
Translation files, themes, drawables .etc...the list is endless. Even a simple app will easily have a thousand files.

You can easily protect the api with nginx basic auth
kaptainscarlet··on VibeVoice: A Frontier Open-Source Text-to-Speech Model
Also the lack of stutter and perfect flow of speech are a dead giveaway
kaptainscarlet··on Vibe coding as a coding veteran: from 8-bit assembly to English-as-code
That's my biggest worry, atrophy. But I will cross that bridge when I get to it.
kaptainscarlet··on Vibe coding as a coding veteran: from 8-bit assembly to English-as-code
I've also had a similar experience. I have become too lazy since I started vibe-coding. My coding has transitioned from coder to code reviewer/fixer vey quickly. Overall I feel like it's a good thing because the last few years of my life has been a repetition of frontend components and api endpoints, which to me has become too monotonous so I am happy to have AI take over that grunt work while I supervise.
kaptainscarlet··on Researchers find evidence of ChatGPT buzzwords turning up in everyday speech
I picked up emdash from quora, back when it used to have good writers.

Same. It never used to show them. It only started recently. But it's only partially letting some ads through. Youtube video ads are still blocked which is good.
kaptainscarlet··on How to make websites that will require lots of your time and energy
People who avoid ORMs endup writing their own worse ORM*. ORMs are perfect if you know how and when to uses them. They encapsulate a lot of the mind numbing work that comes with raw sql such as writing inserts for a 50 column database.
kaptainscarlet··on Do not download the app, use the website
Devs are usually disconnected from the average user's experience. I too used to be the same.
kaptainscarlet··on AI coding agents are removing programming language barriers
I was thinking the same the other day. No need for high-level languages anymore. AI, assumming it will get better and replace humans coders. has eliminated the labour constraint. Moores law death will no longer be a problem as performance gains are realised in software. The days of bloated electron apps are finally behind us.
kaptainscarlet··on NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft begins taxi tests
They should use a Starship rather. Much quicker. The only hurdle would be the price.
