That’s still like pure deception. Imagine if your car only had its two left doors because the other ones aren’t technically pictured…

It’s just vacuum-pressed plastic over a mould. I can’t imagine the mould’s price fluctuating depending on the shape. This seems like it’s specially designed to fool.

So our generation will be the first to have to teach both our boomer parents AND our millennial offspring what “RAM” is?!

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

Damn that’s egregious. Why not at least space them out evenly?! I guess by feeling the ends only, you assume they’re tightly packed in there?

Your mistake was assuming their capacity to “think” about anything.

It’s like if batteries got stupid expensive and they tried to tell us 200km of range is what you get in a touring EV these days. But the distances between all the places haven’t changed…

So RAM costs them more now, and they need to pass those costs onto customers. However, it seems like they’re also trying to redefine what “mid-range” means to us all, as if we aren’t fully aware of what computers are capable of and what amount of memory is good vs not. Making the various ranges cost more is intuitive. Enshitifying the ranges to sell them at the same price is just antithetical to the whole concept of the ranges…

Many TLDs are moderated. IE, you can’t just buy a “.new” domain unless you’re serving an app that lets you create something without having to sign up first. Had one shut down for not fully complying.

What the people want isn’t always right either. Case in point: Trump.

Democracies work if the society invests in educating the voting public. This government does the opposite because they know smart = more likely left leaning.

Why not? Apparently they go unpunished. Trump will be soil before trials for any of these atrocities begin.

This makes a lot of sense. He’s a narcissist and knows his most valuable asset is his fucking name. So naturally he has to believe that genes are the most important factor in assessing someone’s quality, otherwise he’s just an old moron with a disastrous history of poor investments. But! He’s a Trump. So, therefore, he is awesome.

But points all of NORAD at Pete Hegseth

Good bot!

No no, it’s an app where you literally talk to Jesus H. Christ over e2e chat.

Y’know they sell honey in squeezable bottles like ketchup and other condiments, right? This stupid wooden barrel on a stick solution seems like a recipe for a sticky mess. Also, do you just leave it in the jar, making it impossible to put the lid back on? Take it out, covered in honey, and wash it for later?

My disdain for bad tools is irrational, I know.

Edit: Squeeze honey is not honey. BUT! I’d still pour it out of its jar and into a squeezable container because once you’ve squeezed, you’ll wonder how you’ve gotten on this long without it.

Yes, there are technically ways to lower prices. The impossibility is due to the complete lack of incentive for corporations to do so. So, it won’t be happening.

Not until their Internet is offline. Then shit’ll get real. Or maybe not even then.

I imagine they’re just dipping each page in a barrel of black ink

Better protect the shithole from… I don’t even know what. The threat is inside the White House, so maybe take that out and save like $900 Billion.

We should GoFundHim far enough to take over that store and fire the manager.

This poster https://calckey.world/notes/afzolhb0xk is more articulate than my post.

The difference between this “spec-driven” approach is that the entire process is repeatable by AI once you’ve gotten the spec sorted. So you no longer work on the code, you just work on the spec, which can be a collection of files, files in folders, whatever — but the goal is some kind of determinism, I think.

I use it on a much smaller scale and haven’t really cared much for the “spec as truth” approach myself, at this level. I also work almost exclusively on NextJS apps with the usual Tailwind + etc stack. I would certainly not trust a developer without experience with that stack to generate “correct” code from an AI, but it’s sort of remarkable how I can slowly document the patterns of my own codebase and just auto-include it as context on every prompt (or however Cursor does it) so that everything the LLMs suggest gets LLM-reviewed against my human-written “specs”. And doubly neat is that the resulting documentation of patterns turns out to be really helpful to developers who join or inherit the codebase.

I think the author / developer in the article might not have been experienced enough to direct the LLMs to build good stuff, but these tools like React, NextJS, Tailwind, and so on are all about patterns that make us all build better stuff. The LLMs are like “8 year olds” (someone else in this thread) except now they’re more like somewhat insightful 14 year olds, and where they’ll be in another 5 years… Who knows.

Anyway, just saying. They’re here to stay, and they’re going to get much better.
