Just saw someone post, not ironically, "the trick is maximizing your surface area of luck."

The world unanimously agrees something looks like shit.

It blows my mind how easily even big tech execs either fall for or just openly love AI slop.

This is just a tech-bro version of "live, laugh, love" painted on distressed wood.

@ElenoAM me tocó en cdmx un mesero de un restaurante frances que no hablaba español ni ingles (creo que fue haitiano) y la neta hizo el lugar sentir más autenticamente frances lol. Entonces unos gringos trabajando mesas en la Roma hace sentido de la misma manera jajaja

Like at least once a week during the season I feel like I see premier league fans on the verge of bl0wing up a chi1dr3n's hospital over some VAR decision, and it's like, it can't be that bad, can it?

[Pete @https_500]

I've noticed for some time now that UK soccer fans seem to have 1000x the hate for VAR than we do in the US. Is it because US sports have had video review longer and we're just more used to it?

I know Banksy's art is cringe now, but I think he had a point here.

[keira @thunderwarningg]

i disagree sorry i think everyone who wants to make music or any kind of art should

[Pete @https_500]

@megancantle99 it's a stereotype for sure, but it's at least kinda true.

[Pete @https_500]

That oughta do it.

Current AI custom prompt:

You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.

Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.

@Chris_Said I'd like to see the source for that claim lol

[Pete @https_500]

@nateberkopec Decent to good prose seems to be significantly harder for LLMs than writing decent to good code, and I think about that a lot in regards to the average normie's perspective of AI vs the average swe.

[Pete @https_500]

I actually saw a pretty informative but totally random video about this on youtube and the answer seemed to be mostly: inequality & poor sports infrastructure. Massive amounts of Mexican youth have zero access to quality training.

[Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin]

is there a canonical explanation for why mexico isn't more successful in international soccer

[Pete @https_500]

When it's working, gh is fkn amazing. My biggest complaint is that the pricing, billing, & settings across copilot, orgs, gh pro, etc has started to feel a lot more like navigating the AWS console than I'd like.

[Wes Bos @wesbos]

what would a "better github" even look like?

Absolutely pathetic questioning from Meet the Press.
