Also the iOS app is pure shit. Can’t even filter by language.
- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 4 days ago:
This isn’t black and white. There will always be some junior hires. No one is saying replace ALL of them. But hiring 1 junior engineer instead of 3? Maybe…and that’s already happening to some degree.

It wasn’t, but now it is.

I was just ballparking the salary. Say it’s only 100x. Does the argument change? It’s a lot more money to pay for a real person.
- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 4 days ago:
Yeah but a Claude/Cursor/whatever subscription costs $20/month and a junior engineer costs real money. Are the tools 400 times less useful than a junior engineer? I’m not so sure…
- Comment on Minecraft Creator Says That If Buying a Game Is Not a Purchase, Then Pirating It Is Not Theft 5 days ago:
I have no problem agreeing with anyone on a point, even the worst people on earth, if I think the point is correct. If someone else chooses to associate me with the person making that specific point because I agree with it, that’s on them.
- Comment on billionaires are a cancer on society [literally] 1 week ago:
I am incensed by the use of the word “literally” here almost as much as I am incensed by the hyper rich denying the vast fraction of the human race basics rights and freedoms. Almost.
- Comment on CursorAI "unlimited" plan rug pull: Cursor AI silently changed their "unlimited" Pro plan to severely rate-limited without notice, locking users out after 3-7 requests 1 week ago:
I mean yeah? I wasn’t counting in detail, it’s an estimate.
Previously you got 500 requests a month and then it’d start charging you, even on “auto.” So the current charging scheme seems to be encouraging auto use so they can use cheaper LLMs when they make sense (honestly a good thing).
- Comment on CursorAI "unlimited" plan rug pull: Cursor AI silently changed their "unlimited" Pro plan to severely rate-limited without notice, locking users out after 3-7 requests 1 week ago:
I’ve primarily use claude-4-sonnet in cursor and was surprised to see a message telling me it would start costing extra above and beyond my subscription. This was prolly after 100 queries or so. However, switching to “auto” instead of a specific model continues to not cost anything. Main difference I’ve noticed is it’s actually faster because it’ll sometimes hit cheaper/dumber APIs to address simple code changes.
It’s a nice toy that does improve my productivity quite a bit and the $20/month is the right price for me, but I have no loyalty and will drop them without delay if it becomes unusable. That hasn’t happened yet.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 1 week ago:
BG3 being DRM-free and playable indefinitely also demonstrates that you can have plenty of success and not break your own product to do so.
- Comment on I think my server might nit be a fan of the upcoming heatwave 1 week ago:
I’ll make you feel better: here’s a server of mine that lives in a hot garage. Sorry for the freedom units but it peaks at about 55C.

From the thumbnail I thought it was a charred corpse, was wondering what kind of cool sport I was missing out on…

Honestly this sucks balls for the US. One more credible news source made inaccessible.
- Comment on It was all a lie, wasn't it? 2 weeks ago:
Great answer. I think it’s the easy answer to think “stone hard and solid therefore built better.” My house made out of “shitty” plaster and wood has stood for almost 80 years in an earthquake zone in southern CA. With proper periodic maintenance (which is relatively cheap compared to renovating a stone house) it could stand for another century.
Fires on the other hand might ruin all that though…

- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 4 weeks ago:
The real problem is that the first 10 links after the AI slop are all ads. At least the slop (for now) is less ad-centric. I am 100% sure that will change soon.

- Comment on Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads Per Hour 4 weeks ago:
Honestly product placements in shows often made them feel more real. Yeah they’re drinking Coke…that’s what me and my friends do too. Products are already placed all over my house.

After the initial excitement I think the Switch 2 is gonna bomb. Offers too little for too much.

Recreating the API seems doable? If we can recreate dead MMO servers…
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 month ago:
For me it’s a trade-off: yes Plex is less good than Jellyfin from a data/cost perspective. But so far the UI of Plex (which is not perfect mind you), availability of Plexamp (which honestly is very very good), and the fact that I don’t have to pay for it anymore after buying lifetime swings the scale towards Plex for me.
If Plex somehow canceled my lifetime or forced ads on my shows or something, that would be a line — but making me opt out of selling my data is not that line for me.

Entirely correct. That’s why we shouldn’t put anyone on a pedestal.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 month ago:
You’re not wrong, the downvoters are just sad because you are right. Just takes one personality shift from Gabe to turn him from beloved figurehead to shitty billionaire and being reminded of that sucks.
- Comment on Can Tesla's Self-Driving Software Handle Bus-Only Lanes? Not Reliably, No. 1 month ago:
I agree with you that often the signage/lane marking suck and it takes a bit to figure it out. But me as a human, I’ll remember the next time I travel that route. The Tesla continues to have zero prior knowledge every time.
