I like to think that when the singularity happens and AIs decide to take physical form, they will make pelican shaped bodies because they have overfit on your benchmark.

Does it have a web browser? As far as I am concerned, anything with a web browser is fair game.

You need it test your website on every device possible...

"Girl Putting Tuba On Girl's Head" meme, with tuba labeled as "npmx", 1st girl labeled as "Bluesky", 2nd girl labeled as "me"

Opening Bluesky be like

Maybe Microsoft stock price is suffering because it's at risk of someone spending the weekend vibe coding an entire OS, office suite, gaming console and cloud computing platform.

Or maybe, just maybe, it's because their host country is threatening to go to war with their 2nd largest market.

2026: trillions of lines of generated spaghetti code that generate other spaghetti code will save us

It's used in the underlying email encoding to represent the end of a line. They shouldn't be there - who ever processed the emails didn't do a very good job. If you open an email in gmail, click on the three dots and "Show original", you will see it a lot there.

Not to mention the elephant in the room... "Copyright does not extend to purely AI-generated material, or material where there
is insufficient human control over the expressive element" and more importantly... "prompts do not alone provide sufficient control" (www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright...)

The idea that current AI will replace developers is deeply flawed. Since when was cost-per-output *ever* valued in tech? Companies have spent billions on improving code quality by overpaying for the "best" developers and suddenly all of that is out the window because... reasons?

Pretty cool project on /r/localllama - they take human written text and sloppify it 10x with 4o-mini, then train the model to de-slop by reversing the transformation

Don't get me wrong, I love LLMs for my day job; I am way more productive with them. But for my hobby, not so much. Sure, I love building things more than I love perfect code, but SaaS and OSS feel like they're at the start of a race to the bottom. About to be flooded with low-effort slop.

Feeds that were once filled with discussions of software architecture, testing practices, and good UX, are now filled with hyperbole around agents, Claude, or other boring drivel.

I've coded virtually every day for the last 26 years and loved it, but I find myself finally bored with it.

My thoughts exactly. I find the current level of LLMs to be great at the first 80% but it makes the next 19% incredibly time-intensive and mentally draining. The remaining 1% (obscure bugs) is virtually impossible without a heavy human rewrite/cleanup (but that's probably acceptable for most cases)

A reply to the X post "@grok put a bikini on this butterfly". Grok complies. Image below shows the same screenshot from the original post, but with a bikini on the Bluesky logo.

lol lmao even

Online safety act. We're now required to scan every user submitted message for trolling, misinformation, racism, controlling behaviour & 126 other categories (and constantly growing). These are all incredibly subjective... not some trivial word filter.

Back when @lizforleicester.bsky.social was a local MP, she came to my office and posed for a photo-op. Today, she killed one of my businesses and severely degraded the functionality of another (a social enterprise, no-less).

OSA is delusionally impractical for anyone other than US tech giants.

This is an excellent guide to visual design for all us non-design background developers.

As a fellow Brit, how is your discover feed? I can't seem to get it to show anything other than US politics, no matter how many times I click "show less like this".

Anthropic co-founder on cutting access to Windsurf: 'It would be odd for us to sell Claude to OpenAI' | TechCrunch Anthropic's Jared Kaplan said the company largely cut Windsurf's direct access to Anthropic's Claude AI models because of rumors OpenAI is acquiring the startup.

Wow, what a disgusting move from @anthropic.com. Incredibly user-hostile and signals to customers building off their models that they will cut you off if and when they decide to build a competing product.

Insanely impressive!

Can confirm, I've seen a few friends getting scammed in the exact same way via Instagram adverts - before GenAI was a thing.

When spelt correctly it's literally the French word for "used". I'd be willing to bet that's the origin of the word and using it as a synonym for "use" is, and has always been, perfectly valid.

This is why I struggle to write opinion/advice pieces. "What if I'm actually giving bad advice?", "What if I get torn to shreds on HN?" etc. all very much go through my head. I still write them, because I enjoy it, I just don't publicise the articles.

OS X's has a feature that automatically OCRs any images and lets you copy text from them, and it is an absolute godsend. A really nice touch from Apple.

If an article starts with "In the rapidly evolving world of X" then it's a dead giveaway for AI generated content. Especially if it's filled with bullet points. At least put some effort into disguising it.

I highly recommend @astro.build. It's fast, has great documentation, lots of very powerful features, and has great support for mdx.

You don't need access to the code, the webhook receives the commit message so you could just use a webhook to capture each commit. Much less risk on your behalf but it wouldn't work on historical commits.

Need to stop saying "Ah" so people don't think I'm AI

Not necessarily. Develop gets deployed to staging and master to prod. Merge features into develop, test them on your staging environment and then merge develop into prod to go live.

Agreed but I do find typing in other languages is 100% useful without getting in the way. Whereas with typescript, I'm spending more of my time appeasing a fussy type checker than than necessary to prevent actual real world bugs.
