Turns out none of the bridges it listed were real! /s

Why not both? If they keep pursuing some set of tangents, they never have to admit anything to anyone. They’ll just keep moving the goalposts.

They believe whatever sounds more exciting to them. It’s a fantasy world all the way down. Climate change doesn’t sound interesting, so they instead say that it’s part of a weather manipulation scheme spearheaded by the Democrats.

When you get sucked into a thing or obsess over it for a period of time, you start recommending it as the solution for everything. Everything is a nail and you hold the hammer. It also turns everything you say into a veiled marketing pitch. That’s what has happened with AI brain rot execs and the tech bros that follow them thinking they, too, will eventually be rich.

Yeah, I think the decline is a drop in a bucket considering. I know plenty of people still buying the Switch 2 etc. on launch day.

I love the movement that has gotten. I’m cheering for it.

I love the constant onslaught of articles that are like “people aren’t spending money anymore!!!” Open your damn eyes. We all got smart and refuse to pay $80 (which is now the new forced norm for “AAA” garbage) and are replaying oldies and indies. Hell, I revamped my 3DS and have dumped a ton of games onto it. I can even play some of them online with people again via Pretendo.

Like all of the reasons are so obvious why people aren’t dumping money into this industry anymore. Capitalists fucked it all up and put profit over fun. We’re not all dipshits that fall for the constant micro transactions and grifts.

I legit don’t give a single shit about any of the new “AAA” games coming out. Give me a call when they’re in the bargain bin years from now.

Jim with the sick rhymes.

And we see it daily when the fascists attack each other for not worshipping their cult leader just right.

Hey another cool one! Thanks!

What the fuck, this story is insane.

In my personal projects, I don’t use anything. I wrote a set of utilities and functions in SCSS years ago that let me easily create reusable variables and classes that already do what TW does, but with less bloat and overhead. I get project-specific spacing, colors, font classes, everything.

I also highly recommend picking up Andy Bell’s Complete CSS course.

I fucking hate summer. It’s terrible in Florida. Not as intolerable on the west coast.

It’s really crappy at trying to address its own mistakes. I find that it will get into an infinite error loop where it hops between 2-4 answers, none of which are correct. Sometimes it helps to explicitly instruct it to format the data provided and not edit it in any way, but I still get paranoid.

If working with AI has taught me anything, ask it absolutely NOTHING involving numbers. It’s fucking horrendous. Math, phone numbers, don’t ask it any of that. It’s just advanced autocomplete and it does not understand anything. Just use a search engine, ffs.

It’s not actually illegal but it is heavily restricted. Basically no over-the-counter or online purchase kits:

According to the provisions of the Genetic Information Law, genetic tests can only be performed in Israel in medical-genetic laboratories approved by the Ministry of Health according to the conditions specified in the law.

The tweet is also only partially true based on what I can find. It’s not illegal to post the results publicly, but it wouldn’t surprise me if posts like that mysteriously vanished from platforms.

It speaks to the control Israel exerts over its own people and the narrative. It could also speak to their isolationist society and paranoia about being exposed for the massive fraud the country is.

Yeah, for clarity, I don’t think it can replace any dev. I mentioned senior because there’s a ton of soft skill and historical context involved that senior devs hold that is absolutely not replaceable. I’ve found AI to be helpful for grunt work and nothing else. It constantly chokes, even when being fed the entire codebase for reference.

Corporate goons always use fear as a tool. This coupled with fucking up the entire tech industry via layoffs, and suddenly engineer leverage basically flies out the window entirely. You can’t replace senior devs with AI. You can try and I will enjoy watching you fail.
