It's over. Google Veo 2 just wiped out the competition and became the new king of the AI media world. No one can tell this is AI now. 10 wild examples:

@Michael1979 You know very well why, and it's borderline insulting to ask this question!!
English
Anyone else notice how dentists these days never talk about the causes of the Austro-Turkish War of 1663 when performing major procedures? Would be very interesting to find out why that is.

Pretty cool to see Actually Smart Summon operate from a driveway.
Unsupervised FSD is closer than you think.

What's the official term for when you set up your own "base" for any future apps you want to build, a starter kit? 🤔
English
@CFDevelop @SumedhO2 I had something similar, support was surprisingly helpful!
English
@SumedhO2 I have tried two email addresses!!
I cannot very my email address, even though I keep entering the code it sends me. It's ridiculous
English
OMFG. I literally cannot create an Apple account, let alone create an Apple Developer Account. I've tried everything. I've been stuck for weeks. This is the latest issue when I try to verify my email address

And all transport will be fully autonomous within 50 years

How people got around in 190 BC: horseback, horse-drawn carriage, sailboat 2,000 years later... How people got around in 1810: horseback, horse-drawn carriage, sailboat 160 years later... How people got around in 1970: bike, train, subway, car, bus, airplane, spaceship

@BeachWoolacombe Love the car parked on the beach in the mock-up 🤔

Well this office has a beautiful view - the office for our new project - Beachcomber. In 2026 our existing tenants will be in there and extra tenant too - ie Buckie👍👍👍

I feel like I must be using AI coding assistants wrong...
There are so many people online praising their experiences with tools like Cursor and Bolt, but every time I try to be productive with them, they seem to mostly get in my way.
Skill issue? Novelty penalty? What gives?

@GeorgeMonbiot You're going to anger the palaeontologists! ... "could we stop saying "fossil gas" fossils are wholesome too"
English
1. Could we stop saying "natural gas"? It sounds almost wholesome, but it's one of the most potent drivers of climate breakdown. The term is
a. meaningless
b. fails to properly to distinguish it from other sources.
The obvious alternative is "fossil gas" or fossil methane".

WARNING: Monthly direct debit is a LOAN - they pay the year for you and loan you the money often at 20 - 40% APR way more than a typical credit card. I'm shocked by how many pay by monthly DD. Avoid if at all possible, more help in moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/car-…

Today's Twitter Poll: How do you pay for car insurance? Do you pay it in a lump sum, or put it on a credit card or pay monthly. Which of these is CLOSEST to your situation.

@allenholub @ryoshu Or cheaper, or more trendy or more recommended

@allenholub @ryoshu You only need to be a bit better than the competition though.

It's getting so I don't expect any of the software I use to actually work. Everything from Chrome to BitWarden fails regularly, and the web applications are just as bad. We, as an industry, are failing miserably in the quality department. And don't get me started on the hideously bad UX that seems to have become the norm.
English
@ryoshu Evidently, no one gets bonuses for writing decent software to begin with. The stuff doesn't work in version 1.0, either.

Many people have responded on the quoted thread 👇 by saying there should be a "balance" between abstraction and no abstraction within a program. Somebody, please explain to me what that would look like. Maybe I have no imagination, but I envision a few classes floating around like meatballs in a sea of spaghetti. What would the architecture of such a system look like? How exactly will you get architectural coherence? How do you get maintainability in the spaghetti? These are all mysteries to me. How is that better than a system where everything is abstracted into classes? (BTW, I'm not talking about bad programming. Unnecessary interfaces are a scourge. Classes are not.) I'd like to see a concrete example.

I really don't understand this entire thread 👇. We have a phrase for code without abstractions: unmaintainable spaghetti.

Spending the time to properly learn regular expressions will ultimately pay itself back multiple times over during your career.
