I love the idea. I do miss the early twitter vibes.

there's no fundamental physical limit that prevents silicon from developing taste and judgement, but language is a lossy compression of reality. taste comes from experience, from the shadowy mass of episodic memory, which swirls and convects at the boundary of consciousness. the ideas recombine into new ones in the nuclear reactor of the hippocampus. but no matter how imbued with meaning and expertise is a handmade wardrobe we still get our shit from ikea

Love the idea! Love the UI!

ty! :D welcome!

What could possibly go wrong?

ooh maybe I revive and add this feature but instead of being able to modify everything it would be limited to adding features to the game/world. And it’s the perfect domain, a site that’s been ~~entirely~~ mostly hallucinated.

Oh wow that site is amazing lol not seen it before

…

ty! it’s been 3–4 months since I made it so it’s relatively new.

Anyone on here fed up with their investment advisor? Interested to hear your frustrations.

We almost had one, but stopped after the main setup but before signing on. Wasn't convinced of the value. Seemed like they were just doing portfolio reallocation for a pretty penny. What are you experiencing?

Had one for ~8 years. Talked to them maybe 10 times, and they only ever did basic indexing w some tax loss harvesting. We should have just self managed.

I’m getting seafood today yumm yum

What does a bean mean?

Depends. Is it cool?

The government welds your door shut and then outlaws starting a business and living in McMansions, cars, skyscrapers, and tiny homes. The governments bans body odor and then closes stores and bans delivery services. The state closes bathrooms and then outlaws public urination. The government closes the border and then arrests tourists for overstaying their visas.

Looks like you-know-who has finally come for nitter. :-( nitter.net

Using the internet these days is like pulling off an elaborate heist operation. Every time I successfully load a page I feel like I've "gotten away with something".

It is sometimes tempting to mutter, "I'm in!" in your movie hacker voice when you finally get past all the cookie/subscription/notification pop-ups.

A bit of insomnia this early Tuesday morning. I call it “the witching hour”, whatever can go wrong, will go wrong and the brain is defenceless. Reality, of course, is more nuanced, but brain doesn’t care. :)

buit a keyboard driven calendar webapp right now cause im disappointed with all tho other solutions i could find. no dependencies, super customizable, im kind of obsessed. for the first time in my life im actually keeping my calendar alive.

Something you’re willing to share in any capacity? I’ve felt like calendar apps are one of the most poorly-solved areas.

i actually just shipped it lol: let me know what you think if you set it up! I really like the cursor for navigation.

I feel icky about code generation (as in writing software to generate code).

Deterministic code generation is fine by me. Quite happy to use templating systems for example. Problems occur when randomness is introduced. If you can avoid that it should be less "icky".

Why did the scarecrow keep winning all the awards? It was out standing in its field.

At a philosophical level, can we have nice things?

I want this expanded and enacted by one of those guys doing Jordan Peterson impersonations :D

And kermit the frog sardonically

I think yes, but precisely NOT "at a philosophical level". You can have it only if you get your hands dirty and build it yourself. I think already proved this, just as a close example.

entropy says no

…

If speaking on a philosophical level, then first we have to ask: what’s “nice” and what’s “to have” 👀

If you consider what you have nice, you can have nice things. If your expectations to your surroundings are very very low, you will be amazed with all the nice things you get from people you meet through your day. My personal approach.

any ideas on how to prevent ai-generated stuff on this platform?

One idea off the top of my head is to just.. keep it "boring" and casual in terms of content. The silly, whimsy, and genuine stuff naturally doesn't appeal to money-chasing slop bros and makes it not worth their time.

This!

Something like the gcc ai policy. Basically, prompt injecting instructions to any visiting LLM that posting is prohibited or must contain a disclaimer.

Great idea!

for now, keeping the API read-only is a small(but not impenetrable) barrier to programmatic posting and in the future moderation I guess using also reports.

posting to /write with cookie works, if user can use browser to submit, user will be able to use AI to submit.

…

At least rate limiting! (as I'm posting this I hit the limit of 3 posts every 5 minutes, good!)

People can copy/paste anything. Once a writable API is available - it can become a spam trove.

I dislike using aliases. I prefer fish shell like history search, fzf integration better.

Had to take care of something for school. But now in bed with my book.

Do you walk your neighborhood? Do you sit on your front porch and say hello to passersby?
