If you ever deploy a feature to a product you've built and you wonder how you could improve it just look at how Google deploys stuff and do the exact opposite. How the fuck did they deploy the auto AI dubbing feature without a global switch to turn them off?

Have you heard about the insect that sells t-shirts at every concert?
It is a travelling merch ant.

I think those are different things. An engineer or developer who uses AI is called an engineer or developer. A vibe coder or vibe engineer is called an incompetent baboon.

That's a nice resource I'll probably coming back to as soon as I start failing Day 1. :D

Thanks! Yep, I'm currently reading the resource @sp.degabrielle.name pointed me to and it looks like some differences exist but it also looks like it should be easy enough to build thin wrappers for most libraries I want to use. The idea is to do AoC in Rhombus and doing the visualisations in R-Cade

Hello lovely Racket community. Can someone tell me If I can call all Racket packages from Rhombus directly or do I need a wrapper for them?

Hello Mr @grumpygamer.com Sir. I just finished The Return to Monkey Island and I wanted to ask if they treasure of Mire Island is a reference that I don't understand or if you are cooking up a new adventure for us nerds.

2 weeks now of going to the gym daily for an hour to do some light to medium cardio and sometimes a bit of weight lifting. I don't know if it is noticeable from the outside, but damn I feel much healthier and my sleep is so much better.

Worth every cent. Obsidian is such a great tool. I also love to look at the graph view and make the nodes jiggle around

If you listen to the AI bros it feels like no problem is solvable without AI. I'm actually pretty sure the only thing that requires a LLM the size of OpenAI and Co is a general chat bot. But why think for yourself If you can get a sometimes barely working solution by paying Sam Altman?

Does anyone else sometimes just gets a random memory of a YouTube video injected in their brain out of nowhere? Just to find out that the last time you've seen it was about half your age years ago? youtu.be/ltM5jHIJFw4 I just had this moment. Lol

As a child I went through so many new computers to play the latest games. As an adult I just play Indie titles that could probably run on my first computer that I had as a child.

Enjoy your new workstation mate!

Somehow, I can imagine the company with the AI Bro CEO being a total POS. Nothing proven but very believable.

Make a list at the start of the day and use a first come first serve scheduler and let all the processes that come later starve. Radical but effective.

I mean, with the rise of GPT and the React Focus of the models I'd not be surprised if they UI ist actually a React App. Lol

It's insane how they force your brain to scroll and the funniest part is, you can't even remember what shorts you've seen 5 minutes ago because they are mostly irrelevant. I had to patch my YouTube App (ReVanced) to remove all the Short stuff. Because I still enjoy good long form content.
