Kinda wild that someone would do this and send it to prod, like it is destined to break everything and you won't even know what broke it because it was made by AI without and human guidance, and the next time you turn on Claude it's not gonna know this, so you will have to waste so much time trying to figure out what is wrong.

Crazy that everyone is apparently okay with this, like I can see the business people trying to sell the hype and the whole narrative of "AGI is around the corner!!!", but it's silly seeing business people actually believing those narratives created by other business people.

I have to say that I am surprised by how many people are bashing on AI coding.

I personally use AI tools like cursor and claude code to help me with code, and I have to say that they are incredibly helpful with managing huge codebases and fixing repetitive elements. Obviously, I have to know a lot about coding and system design and whatnot, and I have to write many instructions, so it can't 'replace programmers' or anything. But in the hands of those who already know their stuff, it really does speed things up significantly.

I have no idea how other people are using it that is inspiring all these reports on how awful AI coding is. Do non-programmers just enter Claude and write "make program!!!" and then expect it to work?

Jesus, I want to try a bottle of 18 years old barley wine. It all looks very nice.

I am also interested in this.

I guess that most people wouldn't really know, because who with a sound mind would like to spend time listening to garbage being produced by right wing grifters. Most of us just assume they are trolls and cannot have their minds changed, and we are right in this assumption most of the time, I would say.

The only right wing person I have ever heard to actually question his own beliefs is Jordan Peterson during the Žižek debate. That's it. And it is probably because Peterson isn't really a troll or a grifter, he is just endlessly confused and ignorant and angry. I can't think of a single other case. And I would assume the same goes for Kirk. Everything I have ever heard about this guy is absolutely abominable.

Is there any confirmation that the shooter was in any way a leftist, or motivated by left wing ideals? From all I know, it was some random guy who could have been a right winger who thinks Trump is centralizing the government which goes against his Ayn Rand ideology; or it could just be a loonie.

Is he? I haven't seen any confirmation of that. But I think it said he was shot in the neck from the back, which sounds pretty lethal.

I mean, to be frank, I can't remember any actual news of fighting between Israel and Hamas. The last ones were maybe a year ago- if I am wrong, please correct me. Instead, all the news are 'Israel indiscriminately killing everybody with 0 casualties of their own'. Isn't really a war anymore. Maybe it was for a bit at the beginning, but Hamas and all its allies were decimated within the first year and a half of it. They are more or less undone from what I gather. All that is left is genocide now. I really struggle to call it a 'war' while Ukraine VS Russia is happening where both sides are taking heavy losses and the outcome is uncertain. With Israel, the outcome is pretty clear and certain- eradicating or displacing all Palestinians. They don't even pretend it's about Hamas anymore, because Hamas and it's allies are mostly gone and/or crippled.

Interestingly, today I have seen a video pop up in which a guy (Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen) claims he is being persecuted by Islamic investors because he is refusing to talk about there being Muslim Vikings. Is it maybe related to this? Is this some new discovery that there were Muslim Vikings?

Just as a side note- this is a genuine question, and I have my skepticism towards Bull-Hansen that he is pretty much a right-wing reactionary judging by his videos during the last few years, but I am just wondering are these somehow connected.

Loved this one, I thought it is simple at the start, changed my mind 2 minutes in lmao

I mean, I am no medical professional, but do studies also show which negative conditions do diabetes medications influence? Because there is no way they come without some bad effects.

My boss is literally convinced we can now basically make programs that take rockets to mars, and that it's literally clicks away. For the life of me, it is impossible to convince him that this is, in fact, not the case. Whoever fired developers because 'AI could do it' is going to regret it.
