@BigGiantCircles That would probably not be a great move, considering I no longer own the rights! 😅 If it were an actual cover, I could just release it, since the MLC handles streaming cover licenses. But it's a derivative work, so it does require getting permission from the rightsholder.

@SamHulick Eh just release it. The past decade has taught us that we don't need permission to do whatever we want to 😋

Update on my Uncharted Worlds extended version: turns out I have to finish it before I can even apply for permission from Warner Chappell to release it. So, back to work. Fingers crossed they say yes! 🤞

@tony_mills It won't be a loss. If the answer is "no," then I change several notes in the melody, and boom, it's a new piece of music! 🪄

@SamHulick Wouldn't be the first time an artist was expected to put in a bunch of effort first, with a decision second. 😕

@tony_mills I asked, "Can I apply for permission with a work-in-progress?" The answer was no. 😅

@SamHulick I guess that's how linear time works. 🤔😁

@thdxr @zeeg I met David in person and am pretty sure he's like half my age. 👴☠️

@zeeg you don't get it you have a boomer mindset where things are going software won't need users or requirements also it'll make me rich

Why is it everyone with an absurdly futuristic AI take is someone who - as best I can tell - doesn’t work on (and often never has) real software that has real users and real requirements? More so, why do you trust them?

@theo Better image, and I circled the usual spot the trigger point flares up.

@theo (that diagram is the back of the body BTW)

Woke up Monday night with intense shoulder pain. Couldn’t even sleep until ibuprofen kicked in. Was mostly fine on Tuesday throughout the day, but pain was even worse last night. Barely slept. Still hurts right now. Might have to cancel stream :( doc appointment on Monday

@FangOfShigeki @James_J_Marlow @joekent16jan19 I was thinking the same thing. 😆 I've been slowly aging for over 50 years now. My death is imminent!

@James_J_Marlow @joekent16jan19 That’s not an imminent threat 😂

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@om_patel5 Claude does not read your entire codebase when you prompt it. Why do people keep parroting this misinformation?

SOMEONE TRACKED 100 MILLION TOKENS OF CLAUDE CODE USAGE > 99.4% was input tokens. > only 0.6% was actual output. that means we're spending 166x MORE TOKENS reading messy code than writing new code. 84% of those input tokens were cached (same code read over and over) this explains why claude code feels slow. it's not the AI that's slow. it's claude re-reading your entire codebase every single time you ask it to add/change one thing. once they fix the input problem, claude code becomes 166x more efficient

@notadampaul @thdxr The problem was already stated: high costs. How many reputable sources would you like me to cite that prove immigrants don't contribute to economic issues?

@SamHulick @thdxr lmfao "You don't even have to name the problem, immigrants didn't cause it" Yep, that's the partisan religiosity I was referring to, thanks for the demo

everything is so expensive and it's all garbage when did it get like this

@notalentdev @roeymiterany @thdxr 😂😬

@notalentdev @roeymiterany @thdxr True, in the context of experienced devs, sure. But still, shit is stupidly expensive these days, due to multiple factors. I'm more concerned about people who are feeling the pinch and can't afford basic necessities.

@SamHulick @roeymiterany @thdxr This is a Dax post though. Everyone here is mostly business owners and or in Bay Area tech. Which means 40k a month is probably the lower-end of the median of his followers. Grant it, the employee side gets there when their shares vest but the end total works out to the same.

@notadampaul @thdxr Immigrants didn't cause it, that's for sure.

@thdxr the ideological polarization splits cleanly along your explanation for this, saying it happened either when: 1. outsourcing to China and infinity immigrants 2. late stage capitalism I'm a "por que no los dos" type of guy, personally

@notalentdev @roeymiterany @thdxr This is either top tier sarcasm or a wildly privileged and tone-deaf take. Not sure which, but congrats either way.

Nothing is even that expensive. Platinum Healthcare & Dental: $1k a month Car Lease + Insurance: $1,800 month House Payment + Insurance: $10.5k month Electricity: $0.11 KWH Food: So cheap it doesn't register Electronics: Dirt Cheap Unless you screwed off your life, this is all doable.

This is unexpectedly riveting for a commercial. Amazing dance performance by actor Margaret Qualley! youtube.com/watch?v=NoMqvn…

@JdThe65th @DylanChic @LionmightMusic @SebastianWolff I'm on the fence on how I feel about this situation because my love for Valve has me biased. 😄 But if rich corporations wanna pay artists more money, I'm generally ok with that.

@SamHulick @DylanChic @LionmightMusic @SebastianWolff I wouldn't, really. But that's just a fundamental difference in the way we look at things. In my eyes, it's not Steam's responsibility to pay me. If that's what Sony wants to do, that's what Sony does, but I don't think it's their responsibility either. Not much worth to debate.

This guy can't be real. He seriously cannot be real. This guy, who infamously makes hilariously bad choices regarding music copyrighting, now up and decides to back a lawsuit that, if succeeds, will cripple the open internet as we know it. He cannot be real.

@JdThe65th @DylanChic @LionmightMusic @SebastianWolff A "performance" does seem like a stretch in this case. But as Sebastian said, Sony pays royalties. But if you had a huge bump in your royalties due to game platforms paying PROs, you might feel a little better about the whole thing. 😄

@SamHulick @DylanChic @LionmightMusic @SebastianWolff Inside*, sorry.

@PiensaleTantit0 @boneherguy @ujjwalscript Thanks!

@SamHulick @boneherguy @ujjwalscript It's the new-tech's honeymoon. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Unpopular Opinion: We aren't building the future 10x faster with AI. We are just generating legacy code 10x faster. Everyone is currently bragging about developer velocity. "I built this entire backend in a weekend!" "AI wrote 80% of my codebase!" But here is the reality check we are ignoring: Code is a liability, not an asset. If an AI tool spits out 1,000 lines of functional boilerplate in five seconds, that is still 1,000 lines that a human being has to read, review, secure, and maintain when the dependencies inevitably break next year. We are treating code generation like a pure productivity win, but we are optimizing for the wrong metric. The bottleneck in software engineering was never how fast we could type. The bottleneck has always been comprehension, architecture, and maintenance. If we don't shift our focus from "generation speed" to "architectural sanity," the tech debt of the next five years is going to be an absolute, unmaintainable nightmare.

@Cuyose @Chesschick01 #1, amazing that you had to make this political. #2, it's actually people with poor attention to detail who can't spot AI videos. But honestly, in the near future, it might be impossible for any of us to tell. #3, an AI tag is not a bad thing. It's to help counter disinformation.

@Chesschick01 I'de like to know why this gets tagged with the made with AI, as only a liberal would think its real, but actual "news" with AI images meant to actual deceive people just sails on by.

Ai is out of control 😂
