  • Newer AI Coding Assistants Are Failing in Insidious Ways

    Jump

  • That's because OpenAI is in panic mode. They're now spending their resources on making the LLM cheaper to operate and capable of injecting paid results.

  • they only turn on the body cam for the money shot

  • Signs that your platform (Nextdoor) has turned to trash

    Jump

  • I actually think this level of control over notifications is a GOOD thing. Trash apps will mix spam and useful notifications without a way to filter out the spam ones. Nextdoor is garbage for a lot of reasons, but granular notifications controls are not one of them. Arguably, defaulting all of them to "On" is scummy, but if they didn't, most users would probably never know they existed in the first place without UX handholding.

  • Should tiered pricing be illegal?

    Jump

  • The thing that feels hopeless here is that "dynamic pricing" is like...the natural way to sell stuff if that makes sense? Standardized non-negotiated pricetags evolved as part of the growth of industrialization and mass consumerism. It just wasn't feasible to have individual salespeople trying to milk each customer out of the most possible money for every transaction for small purchases, and big box stores eliminated the shopkeeper role as a quasi-salesperson who might do that from time to time. But that still IS how many, many sales work today. It's just that "negotiated prices" are reserved for big ticket items where salespeople get a big enough cut. Real estate, B2B deals, new cars, etc are sold by salespeople whose main job is moneymilking based on what they think they can con the particular buyer into handing over.

    Technology, as the great optimizer, is merely making the job of a salesperson automated enough to be applied at the Taco Bell drivethru using your personal data.

  • MongoBleed is web scale

    Jump

  • Cache-like storage, private user-specific data, blobby or otherwise schemaless data. Stuff like that. But IMO it's a matter of time until you find a need to operate against this data relationally, and then you regret using document storage. I've made this mistake twice now and do not intend to make it again. I now consider document storage architecture to be a performance optimization with significant tradeoffs, and not a choice to be made by default for nearly any scenario.

  • How do you feel about the removal of tokens from arcades ?

    Jump

  • I don't like tokens or cards. I like open play, just pay like $20 for all day access. I'm fortunate to have places like that around. The pay to play model penalizes you for being bad at or new to an arcade title or pinball machine, which mega blows and discourages people from trying out random games they might lose quickly at.

  • TIL: The word Vatnik is used in Russia and other post-Soviet states for steadfast jingoistic followers of propaganda from the Russian government.

  • Well this guy really doubled down on that thought

  • What's the most unusual way you've made some extra money?

    Jump

  • Played pre-TV Tim Allen for a bit. Never got caught, but I did get robbed of a whole delivery once. Quit after that, too stressful.

  • whotd uses brave

    Jump

  • Brendan Eich could be a huge proponent of butthole sunning and crystal healing. As long as I can turn off the butthole sunning button in his browser, I'm fine with it. And I can.

    Never touched the crypto stuff, the AI search thing, whatever. Just turn them off. When I can't do that, I'll just use something else.

  • Op doesn't have time for interviews

    Jump

  • I really hate these awful "puzzles". They only work by the asker intentionally withholding what, if any, constraints exist in the problem space leaving it totally vague, but of course there ARE secret constraints revealed if you violate them with your answer.

    Me: "I do it without flipping any switches. I just ask the lightswitches which one controls the light, and they tell me."

    Interviewer: "That's not allowed."

    Me: "Well what exactly is allowed? Can I pull the cables out of the wall and see which connects to the bulb? Oh, I bet that's not allowed. How about I open my smart home app and just check which of the smart switches is labeled for it? Oh, I bet it's not a smart switch so I can't do that either? Oh, then the bulb has a chime that boops when it comes on, so I just listen for the boop. Oh that's not allowed either? Wait wait wait, the walls are glass, so I just watch to see when the bulb comes on when I flick the switches."

    Even the canonical answer makes a dumb assumption. Ordinary LED bulbs don't get hot.

  • Star Citizen Developer Confirms Squadron 42 Is Playable and Over 40 Hours Long, Targeting 2026 Release

  • Ya but is it fun? Star Citizen is playable but like...last time I tried it, there wasn't quite a gameplay loop yet.

  • The AI Backlash Is Here: Why Backlash Against Gemini, Sora, ChatGPT Is Spreading in 2025 - Newsweek

    Jump

  • The orgs publishing this junk are pushing the writers to use AI. So the writers and editors can't shit talk AI because their boss will get upset.

  • Ask me a science based question, and I'll research a good answer. Then edit your comment to make me seem like a terrible person.

    Jump

  • My wife is pregnant with a baby boy. Doctors today just told us if he survives to birth, he will be profoundly mentally disabled. I don't know how to financially prepare for this. Is there anything that can prevent our child from having a difficult life?

  • Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux

    Jump

  • I bet we would start to see chinese adapters showing up on the market with DisplayPort to HDMI2.1 though.

  • Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux

    Jump

  • It's $1.2M to gain majority share on the HDMI board, but it sure would be nice if someone gave $1.2M to one of the engineers with access to that cryptographic DRM keys for the binary to "apparently get hacked" and have the keys magically appear online.
