Who did the capitalists beat? America wasn’t a socialist utopia 20 years — or even 50 years ago.

People used to get dopamine hits from writing code that works, fixing cars, climbing mountains, playing music, and asking other people out on dates.

Dopamine addiction isn’t the problem.

Why bother paying for tacos to be delivered when you can blend the soybean & canola oils yourself and stir in salt, msg, corn syrup, and food dyes yourself and drink it as an emulsified slurry that tastes the same as every restaurant?

The cause of an incompetent management class is a subservient worker class. Now a subservient worker class is either that they are incompetent or they don’t have access to capital, meaning that they can’t strike out on their own and leave management to suffer the consequences of their incompetence.

Todays challenge is 2024, Mountainview, California —- because it’s clearly Google Gemini AI.

I only read the first sentence, but try running a Next.js app from 2 years ago.

Good luck with that.

Alright alright alright...you've got some Earnst on you.

"They" have been working for decades to turn the computer back into a TV. And they've mostly succeeded. People don't use the internet, they consume social media algorithms. And they don't play video games, they watch cut-scenes with animated button clicks in between.

what on earth could be state heavy about a video player? timestamps? thumbnails?

Bad image generation

If a killer wanted to make a scene, they could just do it in the real world right in front of people instead of on Facebook.

These days, with everyone having a camera strapped to their hands or face, that might not work.

If AI doesn’t replace human thinking, we will have to find something else that does, or just go without.

Email is the killer app, and their trying to kill email.

Math notes is a Fortan repl. It’s only impressive to someone who has never seen a calculator.

Fewer than 25% of people in Quebec speak French fluently. Less than 1/10 use French as their primary language.

Strange that you don’t mention your product. Making too much money already?

Nice ad

The point is that you have to use an approved client (eg browser, os) with an approved cert authority that goes through approved gatekeepers (eg Cloudflare, Akamai)

Easy solution to rate limit. Require initial request to get 1 time token with a 1 second delay And then require valid requests to include the token. The token returned has a salt with something like timestamp and ip. That way they can only bombard the token generator.

get /token

Returns token with timestamp in salted hash

get /resource?token=abc123xyz

Check for valid token and drop or deny.

LLMs can’t write unit tests. They can’t even tell what you intend. If your code is already correct, you don’t need the unit test, if it’s not, the LLM can’t write the unit test. If you thing an LLM can write tests for you, you can be replaced by an LLM.

Because adding shit to the pool doesn’t help. The jobs aren’t there, and crapping in an empty pool doesn’t help any more than pissing in a full pool.

So did a million other people. Think your bot is better than everyone else’s? Think it will matter even if it is?

So did a million other people. Think your bit is better than everyone else’s? Think it will matter even if it is?

I’m stealing your information.

Hey! That’s wrong.

But I promise I won’t do anything wrong with it.

Well ok then.

If you think Java boilerplate is bad, wait until you have to learn about ELF file formats in order to execute almost everything else.

You shouldn’t try any modern programming language until you’ve mastered GOTO and GOSUB and know why lines are numbered in multiples of 10.

Some people write programs that do more than simple scripts

You really haven’t done much math, have you. Even 2+2 can be solved multiple ways.

You’re right, most people are not good enough, and the H1-Bs are worse.

How old was Bismark when he said that?
