I've definitely had plenty of open tabs about l-tyrosine. Are you researching nootropics ?

I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

I once worked in a React codebase where the tech lead insisted on a policy of memoization, such that everyone was obliged to either tediously walk through the dependencies of every single component, or just defensively memoize everything. It was ridiculous and nightmarish.

Vibe code is legacy code Updates and articles from the Val Town team

Every time someone has asked me in the least year whether AI was going to take over all programming I’ve given some version of this argument. Now I can just link them to this πŸ™‚.

It turns out that "nobody" saw the Texas floods coming by design, this disaster has a culprit and their names are Donald Trump and Elon Musk. #3E #EndAutogenocide

I'm disappointed to find that Amazon does not seem to sell a razor-and-mirror kit for cutting lines of cocaine

I interpret this as a metaphor for the moment when we wake up from the collective hallucination that the LOTR movies are good

I would like to have a Git platform that has not "merge requests" or "pull requests" but "bung requests"

β€”like, "I just want to bung in this bit of code"

Diabolus Ex Machina This Is Not An Essay

A clear reminder that commercial chat LLMs β€”IMO, ChatGPT above allβ€” are trained and tuned to engage you and keep you talking. Whether they might actually give you useful output is entirely secondary!

I reckon this has been happening in every industry associated with fun and β€œpassion”—and will get even more hollowed out by AI. The next generation will need a different model of job satisfaction

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

It feels entirely possible that this a strategy of plausible deniability, in the form of plausible stupidity

A "direct inverse correlation" between fluoride exposure and low IQ" means the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ. What he's looking for is a "direct correlation," but he doesn't know what any of these words mean or how science works.

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration.

This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power.

It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.

Donald Trump said: " I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them, but they are here for the nation ...

From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour." JK it was Hitler

@t3.gg I'm curious whether you've considered offering data privacy guarantees as a premium feature on T3 Chat: AFAICT there are some inference providers that offer such guarantees, and to which you could ostensibly route requests?

VS Code doesn’t support oklch() colors yet, but you can add support via this extension. It even includes a quick link to oklch.com.

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Next.js vs TanStack See this post for inspiration. Over the past few months, I've moved as much code as possible away from Next.js . While I see why people…

This simple and sober comparison implies something that I hadn't put my finger on before today:

Next.js often puts developers in to a mindset of complex orchestrations and optimizations, *before it is appropriate for their product* πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
