anectodally, I accidentally vibe coded a web app while i mistakenly loaded my dictionary file (a .txt) in the wrong page. Surprisingly the website works, but I doesn’t permanently save any new addition to the flashcard set. I think I can restructure this thing to accept a .txt file as an input and make it actually useful, but If I didn’t know input / output on basic things like this i’d be unable to fix it. Well. Now imagine the number of users who are trying to make these web apps. Also it is 2026 and knowing java is still important apparently, so yeah also keep java in mind. And python.
I wanted to make my own flashcard thing with python. I was thinking at In / Out. I wasn’t thinking at automation. Some people are already getting used to that, tho, Idk if it is a problem. I wouldn’t use AI without a proper introduction to coding. Oh btw I know anki is better I was just thinkering with ideas.

The problem of genAI software is that it comes from non technical users. Ideally, knowing the logic of a program is necessary to even imagine one. They always show these nicey nicey flow-charts with logic and decision based pathways. A non technical user will spit out a software that they wouldn’t know how to fix, don’t you think? And if fixing the software is more time consuming than writing it, the balance shifts towards manual work

They’re far too aware that this is a bubble, so I think they must know that they have a relatively short time window to make themselves necessary.

anti consumer practices that would not fly in the .com era I was curious about the whole ordeal again, and even than corporations tried, and obtained, many things that we deem as good in comparison with the thing we have now, but 1999 -2001 laid the groudwork for the next social media revoltion (2005 - 2007) that brought us here. But the outlook on technology was more positive, overall, and we weren’t digital addicts wandering around the streets. But there are analogies here and there. I don’t think the AI bubble is a subprime like event.

AI is just another dot com bubble event. We still have websites, don’t you think? Most AI services are providing little to no value for the average person, but some are. I am willing to bet that these are going to be the survivors. As in every new technology driven revolution, I’d say. And with higher complexity comes higher automation rates. The current technology has more complexity, data and information than ever, hence automation is still there. But who am i to tell.

The grand sonnerie / westminster / grandfathe clock (2 or 3 barrels - mainsprings) with relative train wheels. The snail like feature in the middle is what tells the chime how to tell the time - with the mallets. two or three mallets. Setting the time anticlockwise undoes the sync between the time on the dial and the chime. Even worse in perpetual calendars like these, where the time must be synced with the 100-years worth of calculations done by the complications, a problem that happens even while letting it idle for too long, because you’d have to manually set date, year, decade, moonphase, and everything else. But i’m too poor to own one of them. Image

The only real problem with daylight savings for me is this kind of thing, because they can’t be adjusted anticlockwise.

which is true (and i played difficult games in the past) but does it deserve the kind of response they had? My feelings about online gaming is that it was either the most fun (not relevant to the difficulty) or weirdly miserable. In the end, I think it’s the overly online crowd that does this, usually active players can be far more chill—

I can give some; A player started a charity event (proposed to) involving the dev team playing the game at its highest possible difficulty, difficulty 10, in a game where the highest achievement is obtained at difficulty 7, after which there are no achivements, so to play dif 10 you gotta love the game and be insanely good at it. Said challenge happens on the hardest scenario of the game, a difficult planet with a weird name that i forgot.
Cool, I guess.
Another player added to the challenge that he would pay the dev 1000 dollars, but not for charity, no no, but to prove that dif10 is fucking impossible. Which triggered a ’ discussion ’ that brought some ‘git gud’ players to be overzealous. They doxed the first guy, sent death threats and other things to.
in short, he got his life ruined because he attempted a fun charity event.
I don’t engage with these communities…but it ended up in an article so i happen to know about it.

This hurts on so many levels, Terry Davis was one of a kind programmer. It’s sad to see what happened. He could still provide valuable informations and be a formative presence on occasions, even in his late days.

Just browse the chatgpt subreddit and the various ai companion forums. You will see. Right now most post are compliants for the DoD deal with openAI, but at its prime, during the 4o release, they were full of adoration for an AI ML model. Even still, there are posts like that.

- Comment on Incel propaganda in my music app 1 week ago:
I found myself subscribed to amazon and other channels because the skip button is right next to the subscribe button on their ads. And i have relatively no control over the recommendation system, that has been almost completely automated. Cherry on top, i get recommended alpha male crap even without watching any of the videos. The last one was “why japanese men are like this today” - examples provided were men from ww2. My guy, ww2 japanese men brought destruction to the country like no other generation. They weren’t manly, they served as sacrificeable units. If anything, that was one of the biggest generational failures. Something deeply human is the fragility and power of fear. And forcine young men to go through traumatic experiences isn’t the way. It’s not, it’s not fun. You’re not tough you’re something else.

In general, will smith has always been an action type of guy in his roles, but to do that he always needed to have clear motivations. I guess a nested dream in a dream isn’t functional for this type of actor.
Well, and the fact that back then these movies were almost a gamble you know, like now we treat them as cult classics, but than they were absolutely new and nobody know what they were about.

I am not aware of this, I just know that it’s the most potentially deadly fantasy sport out there. The mayan ball game had less casualità
By far, the most popular of all Mayan sports was the Mayan ball game which was played in the Mesoamerican religion from about 1,400 BC. The game had various variations over different places and rules also varied to some extent. The common form of this game consisted of players striking the ball with their hips. In some other variations, they were also allowed the use of forearms, rackets, or bats. Solid rubber was the material of the ball and it had a weight of about 4 kg. A lot of these ball games were accompanied with grand events which sometimes even included the ritual of human sacrifice. Heavy betting was also involved in the game but it was also played as a simple recreation game by children and even women. mayansandtikal.com/mayan-games/mayan-sports/

I struggle to imagine a world where magic and religion cohexist. I am normally used to high fantasy where the worldbuilding makes sense, but harry potter just flows like she thought of what could come next, and that’s it. Worldbuilding Babe, that’s how we add lore. Make stuff up.
