Sometimes I get mad about how we in practice have basic income for the rich. If you have a few million dollars, you can park it in zero or low risk investments (eg: high yield savings, bonds) and get free money. Then you can just fuck off and pursue your dreams. No risk. Lots of reward.

But if you’re poor? Well you better take any job for any salary or you’re just a parasite blah blah blah. All pain, some risk, little reward.

All other things aside, 20 years is a long fucking time. 20 years ago we barely had cell phones. The iPhone was 2007 I think.

Well, in this example, the information provided by the AI was simply wrong. If it had done the traditional search method of pointing to the organization’s website where they had the hours listed, it would have worked fine.

This idea that “we’re all entitled to our opinion” is nonsense. That’s for when you’re a child and the topic is what flavor Jelly Bean you like. It’s not for like policy or things that matter. You can’t just “it’s my opinion” your way through “this algorithm is O(n^2) but I like it better than O(n) so I’m going to use it for my big website”. Or more on topic, you can’t use it for “these results are wrong but I like them better”

Clearest warning? Of what? New York City is one of the few cities in the US I’d want to live in. Stephen Miller is a delusional nazi shit. He should be screaming on a street corner somewhere, not working in government.

I’m really sick of these asshole techbros spending millions of dollars on slop.

Crawl is one of my favorite rogue likes!

One of my friends who is in no way a coder knows the vim navigation from crawl now

A world there python ran in the browser instead of javacript would probably be a whole lot better.

I love this idea. Do you mind if I promote it with some queer folks I know?

Myself I’m pretty straight and don’t have a website, but maybe one day.

If a feature is useful people will use it, be it AI or not AI.

People will also use it if it’s not useful, if it’s the default.

A friend of mine did a search the other day to find the hour of something, and google’s AI lied to her. Top of the page, just completely wrong.

Luckily I said, “That doesn’t sound right” and checked the official site, where we found the truth.

Google is definitely forcing this out, even when it’s inferior to other products. Hell, it’s inferior to their own, existing product.

But people will keep using AI, because it’s there, and it’s right most of the time.

Google sucks. They should be broken up, and their leadership barred from working in tech. We could have had a better future. Instead we have this hallucinatory hellhole.

Reminded me of classic tacocat song “hey girl” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lXt5n9Ni5p0

There were a lot of “Don’t rank cuomo” chants and fliers around the city. That’s not data, but I wouldn’t be surprised if few people had him as lower ranked choices.

A metroidvania a la celeste, cave story, untitled story, hollow knight, nine sols, guacamelee? That’s a genre I like that’s pretty popular. Side scroller for that kind of game is well understood.

Without more information about what your goals are, I’d do side scrolling. Assuming it’s like a platformer. If you’re making like an RPG or tactical combat game, probably top down.

Possessive is normally done with an apostrophe. The dog’s toy. The apartment’s lobby.

But when possessive goes on the pronoun “it”? No apostrophe.

Look out for the monster. Its fangs are sharp.

If you put an apostrophe, that’s for “it is”.

This bothers me slightly. There’s history illinonating why it happened, but I don’t like it.

I saw the early reporting come in and I was sitting here like Ronin in Endgame going “don’t give me hope…”

There’s still a chance for this to turn into a nightmare but I hope it’s for real

Wikipedia is full of pages like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_United_States_senators with names, photos, and biographies. The scum bags that are destroying our world are not all a secret cult. They’re just assholes in suits.

Conservative means “There must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and out-groups for the law to bind but not protect.” That’s it. They are childish assholes that only care about power for their group, and keeping other people out of power. They are the worst sort of people.

Everyone in the trump administration should be removed from power and barred from ever holding office or working in government. They’re the worst people.

Hell, while I’m waving my magic wand, everyone who ever has voted or would voted for a republican of their own free will is now barred from voting, holding office, or discussing politics. In six months we’d solve the climate crisis.

Cuomo sucks and should have stayed resigned-in-disgrace.

I’ve been saying for years that focusing on self driving cars is solving the wrong problem. The problem is so many people need their own personal car at all.
