One of my strongly held beliefs is that a lot of the most prolific people leading the charge into AI view the need to relate to other humans as a problem to solve.

Bra. Jeg håper det fortsetter å gå denne veien til det punktet hvor folk begynner å innse at det er bedre med ekte kunnskap og ekte folk enn å betale for en bullshitmaskin. Mennesker skal skrive kode som mennesker skal bruke. Punktum føkkings finale.

News: Anthropic seems to have removed access to Claude Code for its $20-a-month Pro Plans in another cost-cutting move. Some users still report having access, but documents reflect only Max users having access to Claude Code with their subscription. www.wheresyoured.at/news-anthrop...

NEW: Growing fears of food shortages on USS Tripoli & other US ships in the Middle East. This photo is the kind of meals now being served. It was sent by a sailor to her family. Families are now trying to send food parcels to the ships. Full story 👉 www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

PSA: if you have ever bought a font from MyFonts, and you bought it before 2013, check if you have the receipt for it and if so, store it somewhere for safekeeping. I just had a whole big thing with them when Yellow Design Studio asked me if I had a license for the font I've been using on my site.

As it turns out, any purchases made before from MyFonts 2013 is stored in their legacy systems, and they cannot look up purchases or find receipts in there if you ask them. So it was a big hullabaloo trying to prove that I actually do have a license! Thankfully it was resolved, but, c'mon, MyFonts.

...Sigh. I rewrote this post like 8 times and I still managed to butcher the English language. Brain no good putting sentence together word doing.

We've finally come full circle. People are longing for less chatter dialogue in their games by referencing ocarina, a game that people consistently complained about Navi being too talkative to the point of it being a meme for 20 odd years.

I et slags forsøk på å gjøre noe positivt, gøy og hyggelig for oss som liker internettet har jeg startet pysj.party , en vebbring for norske kule folk med kule hjemmesider. Har du en kul hjemmeside? Kanskje en studentportfolio du vil at flere skal se så du kan få deg jobb? Lag en PR og bli med, da!

I like this setting for VS Code from Ben Frain. JUST show the vertical line for the current indentation, not all of them ``` "workbench.colorCustomizations": { "editorIndentGuide.background1": "#00000001", "editorIndentGuide.activeBackground1": "#ff9900" } ``` benfrain.com/vs-code-high...

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
