좀 중요부분만 압축하다 보니 이상해졌는데 여기서 말하는 공포론은 AI가 인간의 통제를 벗어나 인간을 지배할지 모른다는 그런 공포론입니다.

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

Was out on a quick birding trip during lunch today and met another birder. An elderly lady.
She asked me what I did. I told her that I’m a programner. She said: Me too!
So naturally we talked for a bit.

I briefly mentioned AI and that I hope there is still value in the knowledge and experience I have. She quickly responded: The whole AI thing is bullshit! It will not go away but it’s clearly over-hyped. Don’t you worry!

Made my day. For several reasons. 🥹

This makes me sad (been there). From Joe Menn at WaPo: "Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things."

@b0rkJulia Evans One idea I just tried: about:logging, keep Networking defaults, write to a logfile, then search the logfile. I just went to the Google homepage, and I do see "OPTIONS" in the logfile (which is huge). Make sure to choose Stop logging quickly, though. I'm not 100% sure it give you the entire HTTP request, but it seems like it might. If so, it's a very short one.

the answers to "what makes CORS hard?" here are so interesting, so far I'm getting

1) The browser's same-origin policy is very counterintuitive
2) Browser network tools do (I think) have all the info you need to debug, but navigating the Network tab is not easy if you're not used to it
3) Sometimes you need to coordinate with many people to set the correct headers
4) Setting up CORS headers to allow multiple domains (like a.com, b.com, c.com) is annoying

“Novice workers who rely heavily on AI to complete unfamiliar tasks may compromise their own skill acquisition. We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average.”

“We found that using AI assistance led to a statistically significant decrease in mastery.”

RE: meta.masto.host/@GamingNews/11

You’ll never guess the reason why this perfectly capable Netflix client is being sunset. It’s VHS.

VHS recorders, specifically. The PS3 supports AV (yellow, white, red) cable output, which does not have HDCP copy protection. There’s a retro trend happening to get Stranger Things on VHS and this puts an end to it.

it works!? proxy any arbitrary xrpc upstream, find links where you tell it to look in the response, attach linked records. here it's directly requesting a bluesky feed generator + injecting all posts into the response. single request, nothing bluesky-specific. so hydrated rn🚰

1994 - 2008 internet was a magnificent place. Minus the obvious cesspools, the internet was a wonderful portable library of arts, music, literature, and a bunch of kids who wanted to explore the world.

It wasn’t until we put Obama in office using 2008 Twitter that a certain demographic of hegemonic racists decided to use their blood wealth to ruin everything positive about this space, out of pure spite and jealousy. It’s been obvious and disgusting to watch.

Today is , a footnote:

"See, once upon a time the phone company printed huge books that listed everyone with a phone and their phone number. No, phone numbers didn’t change so often, because they were all landlines. But then the dinosaurs knocked the phone lines down, so we went cellular."

I have no idea why anyone
buys my books, but it's open for sponsorship: sponsor.mwl.io
