fortyseven··on What ArtCraft's Vibe-Coded Apps Say About Adobe
So when I went through all of them last night and found a surprising amount of functionality, especially in the Photoshop clone, I was just imagining it?
fortyseven··on Are Babies Conscious?
What a bizarre response to this.
fortyseven··on Fuck Android Developer Verification Program
I don't think cron can write code. Jokes aside, I suppose you could just alternate between two lines of code and just publish alternating patch versions. What a stupid situation, fuck Google.
fortyseven··on Meta VR Glasses
Well I can appreciate continued VR development is it good thing in general, you couldn't fucking pay me to use anything from Facebook/Meta at this point. They need to be starved of attention until their doors close for good.
fortyseven··on Norton Neo Browser
Given the reputation, who the hell is the audience for this crap?
fortyseven··on I-have-ADHD: A skill to stop coding agents from burying the answer
Who gives a shit? It can call itself the king of Norway for all I care as long as things get done correctly. If you're suggesting this is causing excessive token usage or something I think that's a bit exaggerated.
fortyseven··on Coyote v. Acme (1990)
It's just might be the first negative word I've heard about it. I saw it opening weekend and it was a blast. Not groundbreaking, Roger Rabbit style, but a strangely wholesome, funny flick.
fortyseven··on El Yayster – a resident LLM that inhabits Emacs
Who the fuck's brilliant idea was that? I swear to god our collective IQ is in the toilet.
fortyseven··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
I don't think you need to be so specific about it. It's more about the overall goal: weakening the United States as much as possible. And if that means embroiling them in a pointless war and wearing down their stockpiles... Well, you can see how that would be advantageous.
fortyseven··on 'Pervert glasses': Backlash against Meta's smart glasses grows
The demonizing of devices like this as "pervert glasses" incredibly fucking juvenile and obnoxious. We're going to throw out an entire concept because a handful of scumbags abuses them. This isn't serious discussion, this is just mobs of imbeciles running around with pitchforks.
fortyseven··on 'Pervert glasses': Backlash against Meta's smart glasses grows
As long as it's achieved in the manner that you approve of, of course.
fortyseven··on 'Pervert glasses': Backlash against Meta's smart glasses grows
Who are you to dictate what somebody enjoys? Don't worry about it. Do you.
fortyseven··on I'd not buy a LG monitor
It's called a reputation.
fortyseven··on Why Sony can't bring back its classic Walkman models
Capitalism will make you as happy as necessary to ensure that you continue buying. No more no less.
fortyseven··on Why Sony Can't Bring Back Its Classic Walkman Models
I find this seriously underestimates what jackets 6 will undertake for fun, even unpaid.
fortyseven··on Better and Cheaper Than IPTV
Did the app work?
fortyseven··on Hackers On Planet Earth is back in Manhattan next month
Can't wait!
fortyseven··on Apple boss Tim Cook says prices to rise due to memory chip costs
Or, considering you're already considerable markup, you could just make a little less money on each one... HAHAHA I'm just fucking with you Apple.
fortyseven··on Ask HN: Has anyone replaced Claude/GPT with a local model for daily coding?
I use Pi and Qwen 3.6 27b locally on a 4090 for all my personal projects. I still use Claude for day job work since they pay for it, and my employer expects me to use it. I rarely touch it otherwise.
fortyseven··on Meta launches Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp subscriptions
I remember when "Facebook Gold" used to be a joke.
fortyseven··on Various LLM Smells
It's my daily driver, so I kind of twitched a bit saying that list in here. I never noticed because I was using it anyway, I guess.
fortyseven··on Ripgrep AI Policy
This is really good. I'm going to adopt this I think. Yoink! ;)
fortyseven··on Zero Lines Maze: What the 8-Bit Guy's One-Liner Can Still Teach Us
Nothing like ignoring the spirit of the thing by turning it from one line to nearly a dozen.
fortyseven··on Modern Blu-ray drives can now rip GameCube, Wii, and Xbox 360 games to PC
Oh no!
fortyseven··on Bun support is now limited and deprecated
It's a bit of a contradiction. We understand that AI can be used usefully, and to great effect. But if someone else uses it, it's a potential liability.

I think the issue is, we understand our own usage of it, and respect the boundaries of what's possible and what needs to be done to use these tools properly.

But we don't know how the other guy is using it.

We don't know if they're being responsible, and using it in a safe manner.

If they are: great. But if they aren't, we're opening ourselves up to all kinds of security shenanigans.

It's one of those things where we're only going to be okay with it, if we're the ones using it. But that also means other people will be suspect of our code.

It's really a no win scenario, except for inside each of own little bubbles.

fortyseven··on Throwing AI-generated walls of text into conversations
That's how I'm finding I feel, too. It's not that I don't use LLMs myself, but I trust myself enough to know how to filter that data that comes back from them and compare it to actual facts. I don't necessarily know the processing of this information from the other person, to trust that they vet the information properly. So instead of it being helpful to me, it becomes incredibly irritating. Especially because I just know they're going to expect me to take that data at face value quite often. And then it's going to be on me to vet the data. How about you just let me get the data myself and cut out the middleman?
fortyseven··on News outlets are limiting the Internet Archive’s access to their journalism
Just burn the whole fucking internet down. We can't have nice things.
fortyseven··on Was my $48K GPU server worth it?
I wonder what's going wrong there? Personally I found compatibility and performance on Linux to be extremely good. And just keeps getting better. And that's not even just me, that's all kinds of benchmarks out there. Sorry to hear that. : ' (
fortyseven··on Googlebook
I think once the hype dies down, and things start to normalize, the hate will fade into the background. Instead of "AI", we'll just get "apps with features" again.
fortyseven··on Talking to strangers at the gym
Well you're fun at parties, I bet.
