imagine posting this and not knowing what is so obviously missing

If you’re an H1B immigrant from India or China, nothing will help your career more than perfecting your English and eliminating your accent.

@shagbark_hick It’s called a golf course

Would it be legal to start a "drunk driving theme park" anywhere in the USA? I think it'd be a hit. A 5,000-acre "Road Soda Ranch." Sign a waiver, pay an entry fee, bring your own car, hit the on-premises bar, and hit the road...

@disclosetv Bibi is gonna be pissed when he hears about this

JUST IN - Trump announces Israel-Iran ceasefire.

“tell toranaga-sama that cursor is incredible. a game changer. in its current form it’s basically the equivalent of having a technical cofounder or a team of senior engineers. tell him i’m excited to see what i can build with cursor + claude” “the anjin doesn’t know how to code”

You’re not “monitoring the situation” you’re scrolling twitter on the clock

I grew up in San Francisco, walking with my family by the Golden Gate Bridge. I still remember the thick and iconic chain railing that gave the place a sense of distinctiveness. Now the chains are gone, and they've been replaced by a soulless metal railing that's colder than a hospital waiting room. I'm sure some bureaucrat somewhere justified it with a tidy spreadsheet, but they stripped away a little piece of San Francisco's soul in the process. This is how a culture loses its charm: slowly, quietly... one small decision at a time.

Today we find out if it’s over or if we’re back

There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

I am going to print this, put it up on my wall, and look at it when any situation looks utterly hopeless.

I haven’t seen any evidence anywhere that she did anything other than write an op-ed. If there’s other evidence against her, we need to see it, now. Otherwise we’re looking at deeply chilling, profoundly un-American behavior.

How can a library have only two copies of an audiobook?
