What makes someone write so many words just to tell the world they don’t like a brand?
Computers are so integrated into our daily lives, OS, hardware are worthy of any critique. I also feel those choices are getting smaller.

That was terrible. Controls are slow and at times unresponsive. I rode towards a hill that kept getting further away, and tried following a trail that would disappear and reappear. A horse appeared out of nowhere. The terrain detail was hallucinogenic as grass would mutate into different shapes.
Turning cancer into a chronic illness is the ultimate goal.
As my late wife went through this, that was the goal we were after: we fight the mutation by staying ahead of it. Switch from treatment to treatment. Sadly, something can go wrong, and it doesn't always work.
The "fuck you got mine" attitude so many homeowners have and deliberate supply restriction to increase property values makes it a smart investment on paper, at the cost of screwing everyone else coming after you.
Due to the massive influx of wealth caused by the pandemic. Median adult wealth is made from real estate, not stocks or a golden job.

In fact, I feel everyone should own and anyone with two properties should be taxed heavily.

It's worth noting that the Speculation Rules API and the View Transition API are not stable in Firefox and therefore aren't supported by all major browser.
For me, this is the key takeaway from the article, leveraging experimental browser extensions for preloading future pages. In other words, exactly what a properly thought-out SPA does.

Interesting, Qwen won't answer specific historical events (Tiananmen Square).
when its construction: jobs will be completely automated away. when its white collar: AI is simply a tool!
Only the jobs that get to decide where AI will be used (and pay for the service) are safe from AI.

Im genuinely blown away by llms.
I’m an artist who’ve always struggled to learn how to code. I can pick up on computer science concepts, but when I try to sit down and write actual code my brain just pretends it doesn’t exist.
Over like 20 years, despite numerous attempts I could never get past few beginner exercises. I viscerally can’t stand the headspace that coding puts me in.
Last night I managed to build a custom CDN to deliver cool fonts to my site a la Google fonts, create a gorgeous site with custom code injected CSS and Java (while grokking most of it), and best part … it was FUN! I have never remotely done anything like that in my entire life, and with ChatGPT’s help I managed to it in like 3 hours. It’s bonkers.
AI is truly what you make of it, and I think it’s an incredible tool that allows you to learn things in a way that fits how your brain works.
I think schools should have curriculum that teaches people how to use AI effectively. It’s truly a force multiplier for creativity.
Computers haven’t felt this fun for a long time.
I enjoy the fun attitude, I had a family member state something similar, but I always warn: with powerful AI comes serious consequences. Are we ready for those consequences? How far do we want AI to reach into our lives and livelihood?

Something adjacent to what I do now I guess. AI will need humans to run its datacenters, maintain its hardware, design its chips for the foreseeable future. I'd like to think that I have the intellectual ability to pivot into something else.
Building software is about solving problems, if software goes away I'll just solve problems in another domain.
Computer adjacent, is my thought, too. Computers will always be around.
We may have to sell skills in application domains, so ecommerce, agriculture, fintech, etc, rather than by language or library skill set.
