kinda shocked none of the people making the android emulator handhelds have given it a shot

less than a year ago that wasn't the case. the same arguments that can be pointed at ai's general wastefulness and lack of precision and quality in other fields don't stick to code. I don't mean to say that I think genAI will be similarly useful in other specialised fields by virtue of that, but ehh

it has its share of insane hypemen too, but coding seems to be the one very clear example of where modern genAI can be precisely guided by a skilled operator to get exactly what they're looking for at a fraction of the time/cost (at least, for now) as it would take for manual effort.

Got it. Your energy is infectious. To clarify: You want a Proclamation for your country that's bold, sounds smart, and captures the love you have for it. You don’t just hate England— you love Ireland. Here’s a few options I came up with:

I believe so actually

does anyone know what triggered this reaction? I'm glad to see Brooks is very much alive and Posting

for some reason, and I have absolutely no idea why, I thought Brooks Otterlake was dead. like I was telling a friend about this exact tweet on Saturday and said some shit like "I think I saw a bunch of memorial posts about him a few weeks ago"

The funny thing isn't the sellout, it's the paltry amounts that the sellout is for.

the US once again sending the message loud and clear: never negotiate, just get nukes. Never compromise, just get nukes. Never give in to sanctions, just get nukes.

Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

checked in on twitter to search for references on a thing that I'm writing and man... what's the craic with the people posting there. there's playing while the titanic sinks, and there's retweeting 2008 memes from a couple metres above the earth's core

I actually liked this Drake album

Ninajirachi’s I Love My Computer is an essential 21st century text

wouldn't it make significantly more sense for some national body to provide a single hailing app and then lock out the private apps?

isn't part of the issue with taxi hailing apps that every driver is driving for multiple taxi hailing apps so most of the requests get routed to drivers who are actually unavailable, and increasing the number of taxi hailing apps will compound the issue?

Pls note: we do not have an advertising regulator. We have an industry body which they hold out as an effective self-regulator.

claude code is a great product. just yesterday I fixed a weird problem in a programming language I don't understand very well and getting solid tests to make sure the change worked exactly as I expected in like a minute. the problem is non-tech types seeing that and wanting to shove the same tech in

it's the same with people talking about things like sales agents or whatever. like that's a spambot. they're describing a bot that sends out enormous amounts of spam. and yet

ceo brain. people with executive assistants thinking "damn, the ultimate product would be something that was like an executive assistant that I didn't have to pay a salary" and then being shocked that most people don't want or need an executive assistant

google maps directions arrive in sligo - walk 2 minutes - get a bus to rockfield - walk 36 minutes - arrive at "Sligo"

for some reason if you ask google maps for directions to Sligo, it will tell you to first go to Sligo, but then to get a bus to Rockfield and walk 2.7 kilometers to a random field which is where Real Sligo is

The Northernlion "Why are all of you atheists so puritanical?!" monologue will be one of the defining texts for this era of the internet.

my understanding is he actually has grown to hate the name but his actual name is so generic he's failed to change it

I run a local music discord server that loops into the various local events RSS feeds. In the past week we have been inundated with clown events. Clown Culture Real

i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol

I want to smoke weed and play Halo 3 with the 2012 Baby. He seems like a good hang.

kev collins YouTube video with a thumbnail that reads "Whats holding Cork City? Back?" -with a question mark in the middle of the question and at the end. His head shot is awkwardly added to the side of it

various ChatGPT slop thumbnails

I have no idea if this guy's journalism is any good or not but he is always in my YouTube feed and I am begging him to put ChatGPT down and like... I don't know, put in like five minutes on Canva or something. Whats holding his graphic design? Back?

"@grok is there any evidence St. Brigid wanted abortions"

god I hope Grok told him

financial times headline: "Grindcore is the new hustle culture"

financial times I agree that the hustle culture is out of control but you can't call it "grindcore". grindcore is very much a different thing. it has a wikipedia page and all

I'm wondering if I might be able to stop paying for my web VPS and do everything locally... backups might be a pain?
