Saw an instagram of somebody making animated 80s logos for modern companies and the front end urge to make everything out of CSS and fancy boxes took over… codepen.io/betaorbust/f...

continuing my tradition of making some of you feel real fuckin old lol: happy 13 years since dorkq happened github.com/gruntjs/grun...

CSS-Tricks has a new owner! Yes, I've got the keys to the castle, so to speak. And, even after 12 years of working on the site, I'll admit I'm a little overwhelmed and nervous about that. https://css-tricks.com/css-tricks-has-a-new-owner/

Kind of mourning tech in general a lil bit. There used to be a sense of "thats impressive, or cool, or interesting" whenever some new open source project or app was announced, and now everything feels a bit empty and uninspiring

[P] Not the point here, but: real, real strong "cover your drinks, ladies" vibes comin' off of li'l Tommy

The anitdote is similarly obvious: solidarity. Fight together and keep our freedom or fight alone and be enslaved. It's frustrating how many people in power seem to not understand this and say we can just sacrifice part of our coalition in order to save the rest of us. It doesn't work like that!

The owner of X is a Russian asset who regularly amplifies Kremlin propaganda. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

Gosh, anyone know anyone who voted to approve all of this?!?

Happy Columbus day, ahistorical nationalist racists!

It is ALWAYS that deep

Basically AI allows software engineers to produce shitty code *faster* and in higher volumes which increases the amount time spent on code reviews and revisions nullifying the productivity gained from producing the code in the first place.

1:20 runtime and CNN spent 16 seconds talking to one (1) woman

This is not something you say if you actually like education or children

was just reading the news while driving and my car went rogue

"At Cornell University, it turns out that protesting genocide is a removable offense. But meanwhile, drugging, trafficking, and raping a woman is a writing assignment."

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics.

The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...

This is the outcome of the “you do you” approach to public health that so many people favor

Very worth reading this comprehensive overview of a lot of elements of the belief systems behind the hype that are less covered than they should be, in spite of many working to shift this

More and more recently, I've been wanting to say to colleagues "I wasn't asking Claude, I was asking you. I respect you, which is why I asked for thoughts, opinions, and insights. If you feel a chatbot can give good enough or better responses to my questions, then why are you here?"

I now can’t wear something I *already* purchased because Apple Pervert Glass’d the whole product category.

The plagiarism machine I created will likely kill us all, there’s a 40% chance, no, higher, like 75%,or more! But NO I will not “unplug it,” that’s an insane suggestion. The scientific solution is to *give me more money.*

Reminder: AI companies talk up the fear of hypothetical superintelligent AI to distract you from the real, present dangers of AI that are happening right now

if there are people at 1password making the racists afraid to be openly racist at work, a genuine thank you. no one is paid enough to do that work but it’s not to be taken for granted, also sorry you work with scumbags and your ceo is a colossal baby with no swag

On occasion one must find an outlet to vent their accessibility overlay frustrations. #Accessibility #a11y

I’m sorry but this isn’t a feel good story. It’s dystopian. Babies with disabilities should not be bearing the burden of raising money so other babies with disabilities can have access to something as basic as hearing. We need universal healthcare. It’s half the cost and full coverage. 1/2

Doctors say that measles can kill young children. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his car says they'll be fine as long as they eat enough beef tallow. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

They absolutely did not lose this case. They just bought themselves some nice shiny 10-year regulatory capture for the low, low price of $18b and with one stroke just killed at least three dozen future competitors before they could even be founded. This was a complete victory.

Is that...is that supposed to be an argument against healthcare

In our spring survey, 35% of Canadians said the United States is a reliable partner to their country, down from 83% in 2022, the last time we asked this question.

This woman has never been in a classroom in her life

I was talking with a colleague the other day who said that while he’s not sure if AI will change physics research so much as to unemploy the physicists, he’s confident that teaching will always need humans.

Both the Economist and others suggest this study demonstrates that AI can help students. So I contacted the lead researcher to figure out how many. Answer: Out of ~26,000 kids, a total of 20. And five months after starting to use AI, only four continued to spend 65 minutes on homework. Four.
