The Viggle AI seems good. But it has one hilarious (and brutal) limitation. It falls apart if the source and target body shapes don't match. I took a classic Jackie Chan scene and swapped the characters with a cat and a dog. The result is pure nightmare fuel.

Your new YouTube video is stuck at 0 views?

Don't delete it. Try this 60-second fix: → Change visibility to Unlisted → Wait for 1 hour → Change it back to PublicThis forces the algorithm to re-index and kickstart the push it missed.

@DLsiteGlobal I created a website that can directly translate manga images into other languages. The translation relies not only on the texts but also the content of the images to have a better translation quality. If you are interested, visit https://t.co/Gz8TEJBhsb

Created my very first AI generated video on my new YouTube shorts channel.

got 1400 views and 1 subsciber.

Not too bad.

Who the hell designed the tab bar of @cursor_ai ? Can you make the selected tab even less obvious?

Ever feel lost between beginner and intermediate tutorials? You're not alone.

I hit this wall learning Python. The solution? Exploring multiple resources and filling knowledge gaps one concept at a time.

I’m intentionally capping my coding time at 4 hours a day.
As a developer, that feels like a sin.

But it’s the most important strategic decision I’ve made to break out of the low-engagement bubble and actually grow my SaaS.

"You absolute idiot. Now think hard about why I'm yelling at you."

This is my new favorite prompt when an AI keeps failing the same task.

For my coding assistant (Cursor), this unhinged prompt breaks its failure loop and fixes the code correctly about 30-40% of the time.

The AI's response was instant excitement:

"This is massive validation! People love this idea! Your product has a huge potential market!"

The dopamine hit. But then, something felt... off.

Most people get garbage results from AI.

It's not the AI's fault. It's yours.

You're giving it data, but you're forgetting the most important part. 🧵

I almost learned this the hard way.

I'm building https://t.co/pYeabmmqw9 (a site to turn old phones into personal dashboards).

For market research, I found a Reddit post: "I turned my old tablet into a clock/weather display."

1,000+ upvotes. I fed the post to gemini 2.5 pro.

@thepatwalls 200 dollars is the only thing preventing me from trying claude code.

[ShawnStack @ShawnDeveloping]

@KevinNaughtonJr i would say that itself is a wonderful skill

[ShawnStack @ShawnDeveloping]

anyone remember digg? it seems to be dead.

That old phone in your drawer is a $0 desk clock waiting to happen.

But most web clocks have a fatal flaw for this: they're riddled with ads, can't stay on, and aren't mobile-friendly.

I reviewed 7 of them to find the clear winner. https://t.co/eAPg8M69m2

Next time, it will start watching anime

AI is having an identity crisis.

I'm in Cursor, prompting Gemini 2.5 Pro in Chinese.

It starts replying perfectly... then suddenly, it switches to fluent Japanese.

Not sure if this is the beginning of Skynet or just a very confused language model.

@audiencon where can I find the progress bar?

@ibocodes the solution to subscription fatigue is... another subscription. Chef's kiss to whoever thought that up
