Companies are replacing junior positions with AI tools, but senior developers don't emerge from thin air. They grow from juniors

Stop hiding behind abstractions. Every layer between your code and hardware can result in a potential 20-30% performance loss.

the youtube vs yt-dlp arms race is hilarious, because of how lopsided it is.

on the one hand, you've got a company with the GDP of Denmark who has about a manhattan-project's worth of developers they can assign to this.

but on the other end, you've got every bored or annoyed javascript hacker.

Incredible scenes.

40% of people have received workslop in the last month
Workslop refers to “AI-generated work content that masquerades as good work, but lacks the substance to meaningfully advance a given task.”

That’s according to new research from BetterUp, where Niederhoffer is vice president of their research labs, and Stanford Social Media Lab, where Hancock is the founding director.

Like AI art or features of the so-called slop life that came before it, workslop looks familiar in an off-kilter, uncanny way but at its core is devoid of meaning. Think: long, fancy-sounding, copy-pasted language that doesn’t say anything.

Some 40% of people say they’ve received workslop in the last month, according to a recent BetterUp and Stanford survey of 1,150 full-time U.S. workers. These staffers estimate an average of 15% of the content they receive qualifies as low-effort, unhelpful, AI-generated work; it’s happening across industries but is especially prominent in professional services and technology.

One survey respondent, a finance worker, recalled how receiving AI-generated work from a colleague led to more work for them: “It created a situation where I had to decide whether I would rewrite it myself, make him rewrite it, or just call it good enough.”

Another respondent, a director in retail, said they wasted time following up on information they were sent and doing their own research. “I then had to waste even more time setting up meetings with other supervisors to address the issue. Then I continued to waste my own time having to redo the work myself.”

Square-Enix scanned the original Chrono Trigger production artworks and made a video containing very very close-up shots of them. an opportunity to see Toriyama linework/colorwork in such fine detail is a real treasure www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDI_...

!!NEW VIDEO!!

This time I cover Chunsoft’s Sound Novel franchise, a hugely important series in the history of Japanese video games that served as the progenitor to the visual novel genre and was a source of inspiration for all kinds of developers.

*cracks knuckles*

okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public?

now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

also the 240p test suite is alsoa good thing to have if you need to test controllers and controller ports. the second best option might be a puyo puyo game.

Customer sent in two NES Frontloaders for a recap and cleaning

Specifically because one seemed to have an off/muted color palette

Sure enough, running 240P Test Suite color bars you can see a clear difference between both. Will get recapped and cleaned up then test again!

My drawn statement on Ai as standalone from my now finished minicomic as syllabus for new liberal studies class! As promised this is shareable, printable - all from my site, feel free to make use of it, cite me & let me know how it’s received. Share away all here! spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.
