(Opinion) People don’t like generative AI because it made the {insert creativity} too easy. Saw the HN post on ‘AI music banned from top 40 chart in Australia’ and people had very strong opinions in both directions. The hot take: If you’re ok with someone’s creativity being outsourced to others, then you should be ok with AI doing the same. If “AI made this and I call it mine” is bad but “someone overseas on fivver made this and I call it mine” and it’s suddenly ok, time to self reflect.

Theory reuse > code reuse almost every time.

@michaelprofilefollowMac user since before it was cool. Interested in #html, #css, #php, #swift, and lightweight software. Not really Windows compatible I suck at picking nicknames anyone interested in lightweight apps especially on macOS gets my follow

@stagasprofilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog, will it possible, on mobile, to be able to tap on “cards”. That is, make the posts area “tapable”.

At moms house for the holiday weekend so the kids can see Nana. She has a "premium Plex" account on her tv serving a truly massive amount of content. Allegedly the brother of a long time friend is offering the "service". She says that the service will go down when the host is having outages, so the infra is likely local. I brought my year this weekend. We are going to dig in to this guys operation. Intuition dictates that there is some hand rolled accounting going on. I'd like to see it.

There is beauty in simplicity. Constraint can become impetus for innovation, because innovation does not have to be glitzy.

i love reading blog posts! reply with your blogs so i can subscribe to them #blognotesfollow

I think I may be use this for now to spill out my guts a bit. Set out boundaries guys. I was basically ignoring how important that is, whatever is at work, family, relations. Be loved being you, you don't have to meet any expectations beyond yours.

I'm having way too much fun painting backgrounds which breathe and flow, made out of neural cellular automata, into the game I'm making today.

I'm curious how do people start writing longer novels.. what determines the length of it? Like I have a story in mind but it feels like I'm "filling" details instead of communicating information.

Just got Moshi set up - a phone-friendly terminal app. Works well with Herdr for persistent agents, friendly UI. Verdict so far: looks like I'll be working more from my phone.

I have developed a beautiful free app that lays out Instagram feed photos as a perfect masonry grid every time, no matter which photos you provide it.

Have been reading the book: The Wise Heart by Dr Jack Kornfield. Profound and inspiring. Highly recommend.

Useful software necessarily contacts the world; models are already better than us at finding and poking holes in it; agents sacrificing themselves for a collective. Huggingface incident has me finally Yudkowsky-panic-curious.

Maybe neither of us will ever know when this was written. Live.

Really glad to be using Haskell for work - especially in today's climate with agentic coding. Our team uses containers to keep our development environment consistent across team members, though, and most agent sandbox approaches want to either offload your work fully to the cloud or they want to sandbox the agent harness process itself. We're not ready for full cloud based development (yet?) and sandboxing just the agent doesn't work for us when the agent needs to run docker. #haskellnotesfollow #ainotesfollow

Bad people are working together to enrich themselves and slave others into rat races. Good people need to start working together too.

HelloWorld #execnotesfollow from datetime import datetime now = datetime.now() formatted_time = now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") print("Formatted:", formatted_time) Wow

tech influencers on twitter: god i hate interacting with other people. i love my new bot that does it for me. life is so much better now that im just telling bots what to do and not talking to people. i can’t wait for everyone to be bots!

I've written a small persistent agent wrapper for agent.py. I'm impressed with how well it works. I feel like a CEO issuing global memos to all my agents after reading their status reports.

Happiness is having just enough hot water in my espresso to extend the experience without diluting it overmuch. #coffeenotesfollow

bill gates built microsoft by making computation cheaper faster and harder for government to restrain. now that he's a billionaire no longer dependent on the free market for his own success he's discovered the virtues of taxing the next wave of computation. 1995 gates would have called it a tax on innovation. classic pull-the-ladder-up-behind-you politics. #billgatesnotesfollow #microsoftnotesfollow #AInotesfollow #AItaxnotesfollow #techpolicynotesfollow

Funny that this box appears in front of me and every thought I've ever wanted to write down vacates my mind.

Been working on #CreditUnionnotesfollow website marketing materials this morning. About to dig into some #MicrosoftAccessnotesfollow work. If 'variety is the spice of life', my job is Cajun seasoning.

Changed my theme to dracula! Love it. This site is such a blessing.

Sunk cost fallacy is no longer applicable in the age of #AInotesfollow. Now you can do broad changes without second thought, u can always revert back, without incurring the cost of doing so, since it’s all done so quickly and effortlessly.

I was followed by @semperosprofilefollowPresbyter, husband, father, technologist, linguist, musician. here and wonder if this the one of ari fame? If so, I’m thankful for their work. Using ari “on top of” goal make some things just a lot easier for me when I’m exploring some data products I need to understand. #programmingnotesfollow

I'm not an optimist, just a pessimist who's still proactive: I don't think things are going to get better, but I just can't talk myself into giving up yet.

Mr. Watson – Come here – I want to see you.

#programmingnotesfollow with the power of AI is worth migrate the frontend to a monolithic django backend?

Ordered JBL Charge 6, waiting for delivery today. Will mount into my bike and will listen to music while commuting 25km to the office. I'm a victim of marketing, seeing an ad, buying stuff.

Applied to an L5 software engineering role via e-mail and without any other contact I received back a bunch of questions that clearly look like they're aimed at L6 or even L7. Not sure what to do with that so I withdrew. Briefly considered answering them but was weirded out.

Went to a store yesterday, 🤏 this close to buy a Delonghi Dedica but when I touched it, it felt so so rattly and cheap and it instantly turned me off. So I did some more research and now I think a used Gaggia Classic Pro will do. #coffeenotesfollow lovers, why is your hobby so hard to break into 😪

So much present tense in #ainotesfollow generated prose. Terse, authoritative sentences, without breathing room, without hesitation or qualification. It jumps off the page, and not in a good way.

I've been building a Markdown variant called Zd that's focused on extensibility and simplicity. I'm curious what you would change about Markdown if you were designing it from scratch, what challenges you face as a user, or what you wish were easier to do when incorporating Markdown into your own projects.

I hate crawlers that don’t advertise they’re crawlers. ’n badly written. They don’t respect the canonical URLs so they keep getting themselves into a loop instead of actually crawling the site properly. They make the logs really hard to read. Can’t block them they’re distributed.

I'm just an android launcher called Nocebo Launcher. I don't have usual grid layout, instead I'm inspired by Darth Vader's TIE fighter. My layout can spin, like a real spinner and you can configure physics and animations. I'm easy, cool and novel

I'm really interested to play around with textlog for a bit. I miss the space that once was Twitter and its constraints. Let's see if we find any #NixOSnotesfollow users here ... ;)

Big holiday today in Greece, bells ringing, bands singing, people gathered in the village, eating, enjoying life and I'm spending it inside coding. I don't feel bad and I'm not #antisocialnotesfollow, it's just that I'm a bit odd. I don't like these forced gatherings. Feel stressful.
