@robzolkos This is gold. I was planning to dig (thoroughly) into Fizzy codebase these next days. You paved the road for me here. Thx!

We live in glorious time for browser progress. After so many years of stagnation, the last five or so have been incredible. Here's Sec-Fetch-Site killing the need for manual CSRF protection. Viva la web!

Bret Weinstein just said something that won’t leave my head:
For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented — sex and pair-bonding.

Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds.

Result? An entire generation of 18–35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing… but with zero actual children. That energy didn’t disappear. It got redirected.

Heather Heying’s observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is — it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think.

And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as “free” as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution’s primary carrots — mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing.

Weinstein’s ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life… and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate…What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?

Are we about to become a species that invents bigger and bigger dragons to slay just to feel alive? Or do we drift into total listlessness? This 3:52 clip is genuinely haunting.

Watch it all the way through, then tell me — honestly — does this explain the absolute intensity we’re seeing in culture right now, or is Bret completely missing something?

Real answers only. Quote-post if it hits you in the chest like it hit me.

I consider myself a "just in time" developer.

Like I have no idea how to work with sqlite databases in Python. At least not without an ORM. By the end of the day I will.

Let me tell you the secret of how I do that...

I read docs and play with code until it works. 🤫

@svpino @code @cursor_ai I went back to Code for a couple hours today and ended up with the exact same conclusion. Some features even seemed more streamlined and faster in Code than in Cursor. Planning to stick to it for the rest of the week and see...

Everything that has ever been written need never be written again. That is now the LLM’s job.

Rejoice, for you have been liberated. Your job is to push the frontier, to write what no eyes have seen! The LLM will reproduce the past, but you must create the future!

I come across this intro to @rails Kamal https://t.co/bU3qXWolcr by @typecraft_dev

Coincidence? I don't think so

I heard this internal memo of mine is being leaked right now, so here it is:

[Javier Milei @JMilei]

CHE Cristina...

We need to stop normalizing pump and dumps in crypto. The President of Argentina just promoted a crypto project, publicly. And a small group of insiders used that to cash out over 100 million dollars in two hours, making price collapse 97%.

A classic pump and dump.

The Milei administration should disclose the identities of everyone involved. All financial agreements should be made public. And the government should appoint a forensics team to map on-chain activity and identify those who benefited from it.

What I guess happened is Milei was approached by an indivual who convinced him of promoting the Libra coin in exchange of financial benefits, either for himself, for Argentina, or for both. And Milei agreed without fully understanding what he was getting into, without adequate due dilligence or controls.

The Libra team (seemingly led by @KIPprotocol) then launched a low effort shitcoin, which Milei promoted, sending price flying. The team and insiders then proceeded to rape investors, cashing out millions in the following two hours, making price collapse.

I am Argentine and (until today) a strong Milei supporter. I had not felt this left of disgust with crypto since SBF fucked the entire industry.

@alejoamiras @balmy_xyz Hace un rato estaba pensando exactamente lo mismo.
Increíble que sea un diferenciador. Pero pesa mucho. Capaz q hasta dejaría algún puntito de APY sobre la mesa a cambio de tener eso.
