yup; I AI slopped new design of some some site/portal I still maintain and got nothing but positive feedback - old version used "handcrafted" bootstrap 2 code so maybe the bar was just very low :p

I think engineers have very different bar for slop than most of the people - which could explain obnoxious amount of ai generated menus/banners in the actual physical space nowadays

weird talk; is not reading any code _at all_ is the new standard now? I do happily ai-slop side projects here and there but seems like just going full steam ahead _at work_ is ok? sorry, I meant - is the future now? xd

Lol, almost forgot about that cringe $6.5b video announcement - thanks for the reminder!

ah yes, the classic full circle

/remind me in 6 years about this thread

thank_you_the_office.gif

took few sessions to re-slop this to OpenSubsonic (navidrome compat) backend; didn't even looked once at the code, I love and hate the future we live in

thanks again for sharing!

I discovered explo too and AI slopped my own solution a while back for the discover weekly from listenbrainz xD (navidrome-listenbrainz-jams on GH) - aside the fact that listenbrainz had technical issues for a bit - does the job for me; maybe I should add support for last.fm playlists as those seems to be more diverse I would say (but less API-friendly)

I just LOVE that you can find a public (and well maintained that) toilet in Japan within a walking distance wherever you are. It's just so... civilized.

I often see ppl urinating in the public here in Europe - taxi drivers in the bushes where I talk walks, two days ago I saw elder folks just doing it near the sidewalk; but can I blame them? - often you just can't find a goddamn toilet even if you want to; so humiliating when you're just forced to do it because of - you know - body

thanks for this link! I was constantly struggling with remote-ipad setup - tried so many things (including paid options), but everything was _iffy_ at best (on-call4live, lol)

And I'm also gonna ride my M1Max Studio until it dies (hopefully it will outlive me xD)

so awesome; as a side note I still host quake net pl (plz do not visit it, it's hosted on my home NAS and currently supports up to 10rpm xD) which was dedicated to Quake 3 and have origins starting 1998; I need to figure out how to keep it alive once I'm dead, lol

majority of Synology storage-compatibility-related _problems_ can be solved with this: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db - seems to 'just work'

unsure about this 'smart storage' as my Syno is too old anyway :)

> the benefit of containers is that they are all in the same browser. all your settings, extensions, remembered passwords (...)

YMMV that's exactly the downside of containers for me xD

Since Firefox (nightly) introduced multi profiles support I didn't looked back - requires some initial setup as you pretty much need to configure browser from scratch, but that full separation works way better for me - especially that you can e.g. configure same plugin in slightly different way per profile (ad blockers, password managers etc.); and somehow under macos when I have currently active profile and I click on some links (e.g. in slack) it picks up that active profile correctly

thanks, I'm still trying to find an exit, maybe this will help me

you have to squint, but I don't get why this is so upvoted

similar to recent submission "Ghost Font: A font that humans can read but AI cannot" - which wasn't even a font, but some animation which turned out could be read by LLMs

I dunno, seems like more and more nonsense makes its way to HN recently

> resale value and being able to buy used games for cheap

This is exactly how I do it - I don't have much time for gaming as much as I would like to so I just buy one game at a time (~90% of the time it's used one), finish it, sell it and possibly look for another one; as the catalogue is so big there is no point of hoarding games

I used to own xbox and had digital collection of games - most of them I never even started (much easier to hoard stuff when it's digital); I don't have that console anymore and I was left with a useless collection of stuff I don't own tied to my online account - never doing that again

Overall I hate this news so much, I probably will give up with 'modern' gaming altogether

ran the security 'plugin' on small app, in 15 min it eat up all of my quota - so it did exactly what I was expecting it to do

_no god! please no!!! nooooooo_

can AI collapse already please so I can buy some ram? thx

only 100x? why not go beyond 1000x?

I swear, the tech world is in the state of some global AI psychosis

> it smells very LLM~y

Every Time I See This Header

Followed By Another Header

I just know it's been LLMed xd also if you click around this page it's pretty obvious

> But I’m not reviewing that code (...)

That's the spirit, I always say - _others_ will deal with AI slop during code review. Eventually they will get tired and start 'reviewing' this AI stuff with AI - so it's a win win. Right?

that sounds nice, thanks for sharing The Numbers! :D

nice write-up! I wonder tho - did the optimization really affect CI wall time? In my experience such micro optimization rarely move the needle - it obviously matters because a lot jobs are running in parallel, but did it in the end improved dev experience? (honest question, just curious)

The only way this title could be any better is this: Github Actions is slowly KILLING engineering teams /s

Said that - every CI sucks one way or another, Github actions is just good enough to fire up a simple job/automation which seems to be majority of use cases anyway?

I think fully production CI pipelines will always be complicated in one way or another (proper catching alone is a challenge on it's own); I really need to check out woodpeckerci (drone ci fork) tho as I had good memories about droneci, but possibly it because I was younger back then xd

seems like I need to update my toolset for the 3rd time this week

Oh yeah, Oracle; if you want to see where contributions come die see mysql-operator - ton of stuff broken, pull request fixes (like most obvious, no-brain bugfixes) slurped into bugs.mysql.com oblivion never seeing the light of day

same; I think codex with gpt5 changed things for me; then opus 4.5 turned out to be also useful (yet quite pricey)

1. Work in sh-tty and buggy codebases to begin with

2. Then you can't see the AI slop in mountains of existing spaghetti

3. Profit

If you're (speaking in general) going through such extremes - working 16h/day then farming and 'discovering' god - I would suggest looking into therapy; simply to regain balance; I also had a period in my life in my 30s where I tried to overcompensate, correct the life course so to speak

overall I don't believe neither extreme is healthy; doing A, then doing 2x the opposite of A because you realize A was not really good for you in the long term

but I'm glad it so far worked out for the author

> So something like pgBouncer together with transactional queries

FYI - it's already supported by cloudnativepg [1]

I was playing with this operator recently and I'm truly impressed - it's a piece of art when it comes to postgres automation; alongside with barman [2] it does everything I need and more
