holy shit spotify ai playlist is absolutely awful!!!

@tylerangert it’s dribbble all over again

just going hater mode today. 99% of people have never gotten real critique in their lives. have you ever had someone tear apart an essay you wrote? or a piece of art you lost sleep over for a month? too many soft creatives. you grow when your work gets a close reading. you do not get that from twitter demo hype.

@EldraziElvis all caps, centered aligned text telled me all i need to know about wizards design sense

Biggest scandal in Magic history and there’s no way this is the true, full story.

n1 google v helpful

BIG update: live shadows so you can pick a great spot in the park. now at findmeindolo.com

@yishan what about using them to heat up NYCs steam system :>

Yeah just make them datacenter-waterparks.

@CodeAkram @OpenAIDevs use case lmao

@OpenAIDevs What’s the use case? Something fun and useful that it does? Shed some light pls!

Pets. Now in Codex. Use /pet to wake your pet.

@reddit please look into my pet designs in figma from ~2020 and execute THNAKS

@RijnHartman @OpenAIDevs have you tried entertainment before?

@OpenAIDevs What does this do?

@dayearleo @OpenAIDevs pets are fun, chill out

Is it really necessary to invent such a useless feature? Do you honestly think you need to copy Claude in this regard? It is such a boring concept to have a virtual pet. Don't you realize how distracting that is? When people are actually trying to work, they need to be intensely focused on thinking, reading, and analyzing. Who has the time to look at a pet? To put it bluntly, if people really wanted a virtual pet, would they have to wait for Codex to make one? These kinds of apps have existed for ages. If programmers actually needed a pet while coding, use your heads—if that demand truly existed, would it still be waiting for the AI era to be fulfilled? What are you people thinking? Claude has no brains for doing this, and apparently, neither do you.

i've been saying this for years

pets will eat the world

i too am a cracked designer

@viditb the math seems backwards. i need to input dough size in grams, number of balls, hydration %, fermentation time, salt % and get back flour water yeast amounts. the good calculators have cold/room ferment options too

Finally happy to share my internal tool for baking Pizza with the world. If there are people in my timeline baking Neapolitan style Pizzas I would love to have you test this app.

@aakashgupta incredible numbers, sauce?

BART spent $90 million on new fare gates. They're recovering about $10 million a year in fares. That's a 9-year payback on paper. The actual return hit in six months. Embarcadero station went from 112 hours of corrective maintenance in the six months before installation to 2 hours after. Daly City saved 109. Balboa Park saved 75. Across the system, 961 hours of cleanup work disappeared. Corrective maintenance is the term BART uses for graffiti, heavy soiling, vandalism, the damage that needs a crew not a janitor. At several stations it dropped to zero. Crime fell 41% year over year. Riders who reported seeing fare evasion on their trip dropped from 22% to 10%. Citations issued by BART police went from 2,200 in January to under 1,000 in July, because there was nothing to cite. The gates were a filtering project disguised as a revenue project. Old BART gates were waist-high orange fins designed in the 1970s. You could hop them in under a second. That made the station effectively a public space, and the rider mix reflected that. The new gates are 72 inches of polycarbonate with 3D sensors that detect tailgating. You either pay or you don't enter. Once you don't enter, you also don't smoke on the platform, sleep in the elevator, or harass other riders. BART tried hiring more police for years. Blitz operations at high-traffic stations. Increased patrols. Dedicated transit cops. None of it moved the numbers the way six feet of polycarbonate did. The $10 million in recovered fares is the smallest line in the return. Fare revenue used to cover 70% of BART operations. After the pandemic it collapsed to 22%. The gates won't fix that gap directly. They fix the precondition for fixing it: a system that office workers, families, and tourists are willing to use again. Ridership growth at stations with new gates outpaced ungated ones before the rollout finished. A $400 million annual deficit is heading to voters in November as a sales tax measure. Voters don't approve sales taxes for transit agencies they don't feel safe in. The $90 million on gates is buying BART the right to ask the public for more money. That's the real return on six feet of polycarbonate.

you know, maybe we really would be better off with the hollywood model of hiring expertise in the tech industry. it’d certainly give designers more respect internally from people like gokul

@grafician @nlevin thats a stack of 8 iphones

@nlevin Compared to a Ricoh? "The iPhone 17 measures 147.5mm in height, 71.5mm in width, and 7.85mm in thickness, while the Fujifilm X100V has dimensions of 128mm x 75mm x 53mm. This means the iPhone 17 is taller and thinner, but the X100V is wider and thicker."

Was researching small pocket sized cameras (already have the Ricoh) and it looks like the iPhone basically killed that entire market. It's a shame as pocketable cameras that take high quality photos are so fun, and wipe away the distractions that come with phones.
