brandnewideas··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
Ironically enough, you using "GPT Astra" to query for such simple information is probably in no small way correlated to the state of software engineering (in these large corporations and otherwise) today.
brandnewideas··on Can AI design circuit boards yet?
Shattering changes to societal structure are coming.
brandnewideas··on Setting up your spare Mac for Claude Code to control, a step-by-step guide
You people are too far gone
brandnewideas··on Why thinking out loud with someone beats thinking alone
That's the worst part, I'm never 100% sure, and that uncertainty is so ... disempowering?
brandnewideas··on Why thinking out loud with someone beats thinking alone
This shit gets me irrationally mad. Well, the existence of such content doesn't, but the fact that other people aren't disdained by it (this dogshit has almost 300 upvotes on _HN_ right now) is what gets me.
brandnewideas··on The state of building user interfaces in Rust
Opening that site prompts my browser to download a `Human_fart.wav` file.
brandnewideas··on Are you expected to run five Python type-checkers now?
That's one of the things I truly didn't get from my (very limited) experience with SQLAlchemy. Why not just have a method like orm.eq(User.id, user_id)? Much more readable.
brandnewideas··on Claude Opus 4.8
Really wish these slop announcements stopped hitting the front page. It's the exact same thing every time. X bumped from N.Y to N.Y+1. wow
brandnewideas··on Enabling Resizable Bar on RTX 3080 Vbios via GitHub
Both the scripts in the repository and the README seem to be fully AI-generated. The README in particular seems to be a summary of Claude's thinking process. Also both the script and the README are full of assumptions related to the specific host/configuration this was used on
brandnewideas··on Linux gaming is faster because Windows APIs are becoming Linux kernel features
Huh, I was unaware that BG3 had a native Linux release, as it's not listed on the Steam store page. Turns out that they released it only for the Steam Deck. Strange

What about the USA, or China?
brandnewideas··on DRAM pricing is killing the hobbyist SBC market
Crippling personal computing isn't a side-effect of massive investments in data centers, but rather one of the primary drivers for it.
brandnewideas··on I put all 8,642 Spanish laws in Git – every reform is a commit
There are laws that prevent you from committing suicide?
brandnewideas··on Anatomy of the .claude/ folder
I'm in absolute disbelief at the existence of this website. Idiocracy is at an all-time high.
brandnewideas··on AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition crams 208MB of cache into a single chip
Theoretically anything is possible with enough thought and work.
brandnewideas··on Anatomy of the .claude/ folder
What a pointless, useless article. The shitty generated graphics are just the cherry on the cake.

Just read the official Claude documentation:

brandnewideas··on We haven't seen the worst of what gambling and prediction markets will do
Absolutely every single thing you could ever bet on can be rigged.
brandnewideas··on Kiro: A new agentic IDE
You're using a slop tool and expect it to produce anything but slop?
brandnewideas··on Kiro: A new agentic IDE
Slop.
brandnewideas··on Breaking Down OnlyFans' Economics
You probably did. Pornography plays an important role in shaping and controlling today's societies and the powers that be will certainly push its distributors and creators more and more in the future.
brandnewideas··on PgAdmin 4 v8.0
Have you tried DBeaver?
brandnewideas··on YouTube is now blocking ad blockers so I make ads run faster
Propaganda for billionaires and the various methodologies they use to control and slowly reshape society. The following video is a good start:

The optimism you mention in your comment is key. Conditioning the public to perceive and blindly accept the ideas and procedures commonly discussed in many of their videos as something net-positive seems to be the primary goal.

The art-style I think plays a very well-defined role in that: yes it's bland, but it's the most unlikely one to offend any one average viewer, irrespective of nationality or culture. It's just cute 2D flat birds after all.

brandnewideas··on YouTube is now blocking ad blockers so I make ads run faster
Ignoring the fact that KURZGESAGT is a blatant propaganda conduit, the art-style they use in their animations is so flat and devoid of any personality at all, I'm actively repulsed by it.
