I had this idea for a simple MMO game for years. I never made a game before. I finally built it in a few months with Claude Code. Now it’s live: boatgame.io I’d love feedback.

I don't think I will ever be able to care about "mechanical keyboards".

These things never fail to attract small-minded, knee-jerk philistinism from people who don’t care about poetry or the arts anyway.

It’s fine to not like things, but frothing at the mouth about poetry makes you look really stupid.

Wenn man LLMs rekursiv mit ihren eigenen Outputs trainiert führt das irgendwann zum Model Collapse. Warum sollte das bei Institutionen anders sein?

Looks like Sam Altman is trapped in the Black Lodge.
My buddy who works reasonably high up in Open AI told me that it seems like Altman has aged 10 years in the last 6 months. I wonder what could be so stressful for him :^)

There is simply no way to engage with statements like these earnestly without it seeming like a cope.
I've worked with brilliant designers in my life and Astra/Opus outshine them 10x when it comes to not only design aesthetics, but remarkably creative UX solutions, in 1/1000th of the time. If we were being doomerish about it, Astra and latest Opus mark the death of designers the way models in 2025 ended coding.

It’s easy to hate baby boomers. But do you have the courage to hate millenials?

Baby boomers are evil. Millenials are merely bad.

Somebody tell Bryan about Stosslüften.
I found mold in my gym > 4,900 spores/m3 > penicillium/aspergillus 4,800 spores/m3 > ulocladium (~40 spores/m3) > stage 4, high > outdoor control 360 spores/m3

That reframes it correctly. The honest read: three honest limitations— two are serious, and one is mine. Rather than take them at face value, let me verify. The gap is real. And the fix is — in.

Chairman Pikachu is on a historic visit to Apple Park, where he is meeting Tim Cook and John Ternus to discuss recent tensions on the border. The esteemed Chairman was warmly received and personally inspected the orchards, whose exceptional harvest reflects the boundless prosperity of the Cupertino people. teapaw.org/tim_cook/status/209309…
Today’s agenda at Apple Park: Introduce the @Pokemon team to John, talk gaming, and politely ask Pikachu to stay out of the pond. Two out of three were accomplished.

If you aren’t rounding every rectangle's corner by hand, it’s SLOP!
Replying to @RockyRoark
If enjoying the fact that AI helps me build stuff that I couldn't build before means that I "never understood creativity or human nature" than...man, I'm just going to walk away smh.

The failure of mainstream media as a reliable and trusted source of information will become a subject of study, but it has already lost so much relevance that most people probably won’t care what happened to it.
Bc of that we’d be churning out sometimes 15 posts a day on topics we never covered (I never covered Oculus, as u know). The bad incentives of FB’s traffic era led to random social media editors like me writing up posts w zero context and no time to reach out for comment.
