I “develop” software using codex/Claude. I am so so so so sick of the way Claude writes I think I’m going to puke.

I usually try and tape it to an inconspicuous spot on the item so it’s there if I need it

The large language model monitoring them likely determined they were not exposing the values of Amazon.

He doesn’t give one shit about the US debt and neither do the Republicans backing him.

If the Dems ever get back in they will start screaming about it sure but why would they care about some made up number.

The Epstein class can just go hang out on their yacht they are not patriots.

Trump is literally demented but the ghouls around him are not.

The plan is plainly obvious.

The big guys will bribe him and get exceptions which means their competition who can’t pay are at a detriment.

Trump gets bribes.

They both juice the market knowing the above.

That’s repetition if just 24 hour news channels. CNN is similar they just harp on a different set of issues.

I’m mildly curious how much longer they can keep it up as they slowly become less and less relevant. Few under 40 subscribe to cable television and instead consume social media influencers who are both myriad and cheaper to influence.

For all of Trump’s bullshit I credit his grade 3 level speaking with most of his success.

The man speaks like an adult talking to a 5 year old (intentionally or not) and the American electorate responds to that.

Ticket Master has been using dynamic pricing for years at this point and while it is not exactly the same thing it’s pretty close.

The airlines and travel industry has also dipped their toes in this before. It’s why people used to say you should clear your cookies or use private browsing when checking prices because the presence of specific third party cookies could affect the prices you saw.

Best I can do is more minion memes

It won’t, you can already see this happening in tons of industries and markets.

The glorious k shape economy means the middle of rapidly shrinking and all the money to be made is at the extremes of the spectrum. You can already see tons of brands increasing prices or pivoting away from non “luxury” offerings.

Soon there will only be Emirates and RyanAir and Delta doesn’t want to be RyanAir.

People in software development who use AI to code don’t realize how many white collar mid level admin people have started totally phoning it in using LLMs. I’m mildly curious to see how long they can ride this out.

Sub Audible makes it sound like the people who claim wind turbines are giving them migraines.

Many datacenters are just audible. 50 tractor trailer sized gas generators are plenty audible from a good distance.

It’s also just practicalities of the industry. You can write interactive elements on a site with minimal JS and some guys blog which could just be an MD file shouldn’t need 10mb bundles of JS. However when you do need to shift more in to the application on the web side of things and you need front-end developers it’s far cheaper and easier to source spa devs, there is just more of them.

The company I worked for used to use SSR which was fine but the web scraping was relentless and the “free” thing we offered was relatively computationally expensive. Eventually we moved to SPA and bought into the CloudFlare protection racket. This didn’t stop it of course but it made the low effort scrapers have to use a browser and hopefully bumped their costs us The advent of the LLM crawlers has made everything worse as well.

We got a bunch of complaints when we moved to the JS only site saying we were ruining the Internet and while I didn’t disagree the practicalities make it a requirement.

If you have things backed up well that shouldn’t take more than a few minutes but yeah there is definitely an argument to be made depending on your preference.

Or just keep back ups and reinstall the OS.

Honestly I’ve been using Linux for like 15 years and there have been times that just reinstalling which takes 45 minutes would have been the fastest and easiest solution to a problem I will likely never encounter again.

Even if they were not recording from his perspective you have no idea what the stupid things are doing. You don’t really control them, Meta does.

Lol at the lawnmower thumbnail

People hate when they identify AI slop.

When it’s not in a context they are used to they don’t even notice and are fine.

Currently I suspect this is greatest in restaurant menu board are art. At least that is where I notice it the most.
