cut3··on Core Devices keeps stealing our work
Can you cancel the preorder? Or is the device you mentioned already out and too old to return? Some credit cards will refund you if terms changed after a purchase as well.
cut3··on End of Japanese community
Its obvious mozilla doesnt care and wont listen or change by that single, stupid comment. AI response or an idiot human, either way what an insult of a comment. Everything was clearly listed out! Just read what was written! Reach out privatley!

Mozilla turned on shitty AI no one wants without talking to anyone and now wont stop it when its breaking everything and instead just publicly placate.

Not even an apology but a fucking insult!!!

"sorry for your feelings" They can feel however they want you fuckup how about you say sorry for fucking up all the hard work with your shitty product pushes no one wants

cut3··on [dead]
Tesla never refunded me my canceled cybertruck order. I ended up getting a refund from my bank after showing my paper trail.
cut3··on Waymo acknowledges its vehicle hit a San Francisco corner store cat
A waymo ran over my skateboard so it makes sense they run over skateboard sized animals
cut3··on The fix to the iPhone Antennagate in 2010 was 20 bytes
of course, why wouldnt you intclude all the experience
cut3··on Corporate AI Is a Joke
no one used copilot from corpo, everyone used personal agents, so corpo gave us all the agents.

people at the office who have highly personafied their personalized gpts still use them because of their emotional attachment.

cut3··on Freeway guardrails are now a favorite target of thieves
We have alleys where I am in the US and I sort out all the things thst could be useful and leave them in the alley and they all get picked up by folks before the day is over

you mean the megaphones owned by the rich?

isnt this everyone in power?
cut3··on Tesla Diner
lol what is this? this seems so dumb.
cut3··on The natural diamond industry is getting rocked. Thank the lab-grown variety
Ive been seeing this same type of article for decades now. I bought a 2 karrat flawless lab grown diamond in 2005 for around $2k, and according to this article that size sells for $3,500. Prices have increased it seems. I assumed they would drop as more were made.
cut3··on Apple's Liquid Glass: When Aesthetics Beat Function
As a designer I can say that the truth is that customers expect things to get remade and updated and if you wait too long the stale aesthetic begins driving away new AND existing users who want to try out shiny new things. Nice hallucination though blaming it on designers, the folks with no decision making abilties who are often blocked by PMs and devs.
cut3··on Quantum Computing and the Hidden Subgroup Problem
Claude summed it up like this:

The Hidden Subgroup Problem (HSP) is the mathematical framework that explains why quantum computers are so good at breaking encryption. Famous quantum algorithms like Shor's (for factoring numbers) and Simon's are all just different versions of solving the same underlying pattern-finding problem. The quantum "superpower" comes from using the Quantum Fourier Transform to reveal hidden mathematical patterns that classical computers can't efficiently find.

cut3··on Tesla FSD doesn't stop for school buses with stop signs and red lights
I had Tesla FSD and it ran two stop signs while I was trying it, so I canceled my FSD. That can't be normal right? Everyone elses isnt that terrible right? Maybe it is though.
cut3··on Gurus of 90s Web Design: Zeldman, Siegel, Nielsen
That 2Advanced flash intro tho...
cut3··on Claude 4 System Card
Like when all the LLMs start copying tone and asking followups at the end to move the conversation along
cut3··on You're a little company, now act like one
I do as well which is why im trying something new in a new project. Hard to start but im getting there
cut3··on Material 3 Expressive
Im dying inside at the thought of outsourced junior designers redoing gcp dashboards this way. im already confused enough in there.

no company uses material design since v1 so this isnt going to infect anyone else but all google apps are about to get worse it seems

cut3··on You could just choose optimism
Thanks, a helpful reminder.
cut3··on The Whole Unicode Table
This is pretty great. I'm currently developing a web-based game using Unicode and ASCII art, so having everything visible in one space is important to me.
cut3··on How to program a text adventure in C
cave is the first game i remember feeling immersed in. it was so good. its awesome you ported it!

Im playing with an LLM to remake drug wars. i pretty quickly changed it to more of a spiritual successor because i wanted to add more features and then had a hard time with them and the drug mechanic so i switched to financial trading and that made more sense. the i changed it to crypto coins in a dystopian future instead of stocks cuz the ascii art needed some lore to help flavor it now that gritty drugs were out

cut3··on You wouldn't steal a font
As a mostly now digital designer I get it... but also realize that digital has the capacity to scale instantly where print doesnt. Want to get 40 million editions out digitally? Gimme a sec. Physically? Gonna need to get some investment capital and a few years ramp up.
cut3··on In restaurants, We need a new way to signal that we're ready to pay
I do this in the US and wonder why others dont. I noticed years ago all restaurants had registers up front anyway so I tried and they took my payment and everywhere else since is pretty much the same story.
cut3··on Figma confidentially files for US IPO after $20B Adobe deal collapse
Vibe coding makes figma irrelevant. My big corp move us off it last month so I know startups have already done the same. RIP figma.
cut3··on Sleep is essential – researchers are trying to work out why
Mental and physical body process refactoring is my guess
cut3··on Most iPhone owners see little to no value in Apple Intelligence so far
It drains the phone battery so fast it's unusable as is.
cut3··on AI model for near-instant image creation on consumer-grade hardware
ComfyUI has all the bells and whistles and is node based which is wonderful. In comfyui you can use any of these and more:

Flux has been very popular lately.

Pony is popular especially for adult content.

SDXL is still great as it has lots of folks tweaking it. I chose it to make a comic as it worked well with LoRas trained on my drawings. (article on using it for a comic here https://www.classicepic.com/p/faq-what-are-the-steps-to-make...)

cut3··on 'Maya blue': The mystery dye recreated two centuries after it was lost
To make Maya blue, May places ch’oj leaves in alkaline water – using lime or ash – for 24 hours in a concrete vat at his home. Then the mixture is strained and palygorskite clay, collected from nearby caves, is positioned at the bottom of the vat to absorb the tint. After the resulting blue clay is baked in an oven at about 250 degrees Celsius (480F), it is then ground into a fine powder and inserted inside a small flask, ready to sell.
