You are NEVER going to need that Centronics printer cable again! (That said, I probably still have two of them in my stuff ha.)

Not bad! Did you ever read Stephen King’s short autobiographical story on how he sold his first few stories? He had to be persistent as could be, just years of writing and submitting to publishers and getting rejected. It is a good read.

Ooh I like that it creates a URL that you can share that points to a particular generated human. Nice feature devs!

I’d guess that education will hardly be recognizable in 10 years. Bad news for number of teachers employed, but AI is going to result in a huge increase in the number of 15-year-olds with a PhD’s level of knowledge and abilities in their he

Vibe slop? The structure of the site is quite solid, the UX decisions are spot on, the data looks good to me that knows little about this stuff, and it is entertaining and informative. This was not a one shot, a human out a lot of effort in

Yes indeed. What do we know about how this was created and how long it took? Before I look into it, I’m going to guess: One experienced developer with extensive anthropology experience, probably a PhD, working with Claude Code and Claude Co

I’ve been searching all over for a classic example of this that I first found around 1986, but I can’t locate it. It went on for a page or two, hand justified lines of maybe 40 characters, and then at the end of it he started making each li

I grew up with PC‘s starting with DOS 1.0. I built a career as a systems engineer, basically by being confronted with thousands of problems that took four hours to figure out because the Windows world was changing so fast there was no docum

Funny. Take a simple pop song about apology and make an academic treatise on what a heartfelt apology looks like. On the other end of the spectrum would be to summarize it in the shortest form with the simplest words, instead of with many a

Someone very close to me is in their second year as a dev. I hope things don’t turn out as bad as it looks like it might. We are all going to need some luck here.

Just a big downvote storm on any and all comments I made in the thread. I didn't mind, like I said, it put it in the "controversial" category which the algorithm liked. But it made me think a lot about anti-AI sentiment, henc

Try writing this sentence on your cell phone keyboard, if you use a "swipe" type keyboard interface. Fun! (All on the top row, so it is just sliding around on the top): Rewrite proper prototype router report! Anybody got a better

Using dBase3 then Clipper, I wrote this music recommending system, back in 1997. Here it is again, reborn using Claude Code, using modern tech (Cloudflare, D1, Workers/TypeScript, Pages): The Similarities Engine https://Simi

Cool. I just dropped the following prompt on the Claude iPhone app and got a nice report out of it: Look at the part of the website at my first link, that describes how to do an audit using their guidelines, then after that, run such an aud

Such a long article on sleep issues, anxiety, other issues, and not one mention of caffeine? I hope you have tried 6 months with 0 caffeine. Many people have the level of troubles you had, from just one or two cups of coffee a day.

If a competitor to your business discovers that you used a free online AI to help draft your patent 1.5 years ago, that competitor could then cause your patent to be invalidated, which could be greatly to their benefit of course. The Terms

People do use SOTA LLM’s for other things besides computer programming. For instance, if you are an independent inventor trying to write a patent while keeping your patent lawyer expenses to a minimum, you want to write as much of the first

As a guy paying $20 a month to Anthropic and OpenAI, my take-home message to myself about this is, “get busy with learning and doing this stuff!” It’s like a $50 off coupon for Harbor Freight, only instead of it being a good thing that can

I’m sorry, could you repeat that? I got distracted by the large animal with the tusk, over by the kitchen door. Try zero caffeine for a while. It will not be easy, for the majority of people. After 3 months the worst of it will be over, and
