FugeDaws··on Drone footage shows scale of revolting 60M-long mountain of waste next to river
Its insane how theyve managed to put that much waste into that space without anyone noticing it until now.

If it is organised crime then they must have rolled up with 4-5 trucks to dump this at once and the fact that its not been traced yet is insane

FugeDaws··on Low Earth Orbit Visualization
Scale is important here. On this example you see satellites coming in close to each other and even clipping.

In reality theyre so small that it makes this look 100x worse than it actually is

FugeDaws··on Tokyo has an unmanned, honor-system electronics and appliance shop

FugeDaws··on Vibe coding is the fast fashion industry of software engineering
All of the above really. I try multiple I have claude 4 sonnet subscription chatgpt pro subscription. Ive got a cursor subscription some of them are better than others but most of the time the code they write are so long winded i just do it myself. Its not bad for when i need a bit of php though
FugeDaws··on Vibe coding is the fast fashion industry of software engineering
Whenever i try to use any of the LLMs to do code i need for work they fail miserably or sometimes it works and i scan over what theyve done to make it work and it looks absolutely like a mad man has written it.

The only use i seem to get out of LLMs with my work is writing mundane brainless stuff like arrays for json responses etc which saves me 5 minutes so i can browse ycombinator and write these comments

I mean laugh out of context I dont think anyones specifically laughing at something they didnt know but in the context of smuggness of what we know now

Id say they would actually laugh at us for that though in the future

FugeDaws··on Microplastics shed by food packaging are contaminating our food, study finds
yet as late as the 19th century lead was in make up
FugeDaws··on Microplastics shed by food packaging are contaminating our food, study finds
Is this going to be one of those things where in a 100 years people laugh at us for putting everything in plastic like we look back at romans etc using lead and mercury for stuff
FugeDaws··on Majority of US teens have lost trust in Big Tech
They can lose trust no one really had any to begin with but everyone will use their stuff regardless and they know that. So why should they bother?
FugeDaws··on Clash, a tool to break China's Great Fire Wall, is Deleted in GitHub

FugeDaws··on Facebook is nearing a reputational point of no return
If facebook was to vanish another similar site will just take its place lets not kid ourselves. Were stuck with this monster even though ive not been on facebook in 8 years or had an account that long i still see it mentioned constantly everywhere
FugeDaws··on When Facebook went down this week, traffic to news sites went up
exactly this. This wasnt a huge awakening of people thinking "i must consume news" it was all to go see why facebook was down
FugeDaws··on When Facebook went down this week, traffic to news sites went up
I assume the influx in traffic was people heading to news sites to see why facebook was down rather than going to get actual news from actual news sources
