It's crazy what you can do now with state of the art AI audio and video generation. If you combine the output with some clever editing it's hard to discern what's real anymore.

@ibuildthecloud For certain use cases you absolutely need CRDTs. However, I can see why you would want to avoid dealing with them. I try not to break the first rule of distributed computing, ("don't distribute your computing") unless you are 100% sure you need to.

@adilmania What does this do that your phone can't already do? That's the hurdle all of these devices must clear. All of your potential customers already own a smartphone.

@Jonathan_Blow Having fun with avar, fvar, gvar, hvar, mvar, hmtx, gpos, and gsub. Also good luck figuring out Arabic.

@guyselga The Chicago version looked like a cyber volcano.

I'm surprised that there's not a greater movement around stopping usage of Tylenol. If you can take NSAIDs there usually is a better OTC medicine you can take. It only really helps with fever, and there are clear liver failure issues with its use.

Some of the worst code I've ever seen still makes a ton of money because it solves some problem. No one pays for bad writing.

[Thomas Cioppettini @TomCiopp]

One of the reasons I think AI's writing quality has lagged behind coding, is that commercial writing isn't particularly valuable. I haven't met many professional writers who make six figures and are bad at their job. I have met programmers who are highly paid and incompetent.

@EwanBen Over half the state of Utah is owned by the federal government. It's not uninhabitable, it's reserved.

@Xumiiz I would also accept "Rin and Seri, Inseparable" or "Ms. Bumbleflower"

@Xumiiz Do you have a Baylen, the Haymaker commander deck?

The funny thing about developing software is that if you ever use a substantially similar product to one you have built, you can find bugs in it quickly because you have previously run into them.

@llallawg You're going to hate this. The same unit represents a different volume depending where you are in the world.

@DocomanDaveo The jurisdiction shifts from state to federal if you cross state lines. Violations of federal law are generally more severe.

A lot of people just cannot separate the signal for the noise. If you want to run any sort of tech company at scale you're going to have some furries on your team. Who cares?

[RustRover, a JetBrains IDE @rustrover]

Rust will become a boring language.

Bold prediction from @vlad20012, but hear him out since boring might be exactly what Rust needs.

@BataarTomor @vidsthatgohard I think the general workflow will look similar to how things currently work. In order to properly animate you will need to retain information about scenes so you can edit. The final result is just a projection of a 3D scene where the individual elements were built with AI help.

@YellowCatCap Few people understand exponential growth.
