@itchio Is there a way to remove these links? They cover the game.

@ThePrimeagen Why do people hate AI so much? He's the CEO of Google. What do you think he's going to talk about?

New rule for professional communication: Never use the word leverage when you could just leverage the word use.

The @figma MCP server with Claude Code generates loads of needless CSS and HTML that are not aligned with existing patterns. Result: lots of manual code review and changes.

Still faster than hand coding, but annoying.

@elonmusk I like everything he saying, but he doesn't live by it. He crumbled when his lofty principles were tested.

@kaajukatlee That baby bed is a SIDs factory. Pillows, blankets, and toys everywhere. Breaking every rule.

@zuess05 "...when the AI stops making mistakes?"

I had to read that multiple times to be sure you actually said that seriously.

@LasVegasLocally These guys did sign up for SWAT duty to use a key fob. They wanna use the "wall ripper" they got from at auction from the Pentagon!

@TiredOldXY @Accountable2019 That would be more deceptive! Percentage is the correct measurement of a progressive tax system.

@engineering_bae Buy a bunch of them. They fill up with minerals at least once a year, reducing water flow.

@HusKerrs You can't do as much for your kid or to love it as much as your wife. Feeling like you're not doing enough is impossible to avoid, no matter how many bottles you clean, diapers you change, etc. You're second string. Just keep doing what needs to be done and keep your head down.

Long ago programmers worked very hard to efficiently use memory due to hardware limitations. We entering an age where we do the same with tokens.

[Kun Chen @kunchenguid]

alright agent nerds, if you care about your tokens and usage limits, pay attention to the tools you give to your agents.

i built a benchmark that compared various browser tools for agents, and here's an example of their massive difference in cost and latency doing the same task

@Wrektem @HotSotin Right, and many people (especially in USA) would argue that a "strong welfare state" is socialist. That's the point. It's a squishy term.

"Official" statements from a head of state is not the final word. Would you accept everything that Trump says as accurate and truthful?

[Joe Hunt @JosephBHunt]

@historydefined And they say no one will ride bikes!

[Joe Hunt @JosephBHunt]

AI hot take:

AI code generation's highest value is for throwaway, low risk, security agnostic, code.

Little disposable scripts, unfamiliar domains, experiments, and prototypes.

Serious production code is a more complicated story!

[Joe Hunt @JosephBHunt]

@glcst I don't know much about compilers, but they are deterministic, no? Every input will produce exactly the same binary output every time. That's the difference with LLMs.

[Joe Hunt @JosephBHunt]

@Grady_Booch We're all hoping to replace the hard work of good judgement.

[Joe Hunt @JosephBHunt]

@MrHooboMaster Maybe it's because they played the first one.

[Joe Hunt @JosephBHunt]

@kylegawley Mostly it's the people selling it who are lying about it.
