  That you can picture any kind of smell is worth calling a scientist about.

  It’s us poors that need to realize how proximate we really are to the parasitic class.

  It makes if you use any sort of front-end library like React, Vue, Svelte, etc. The components are your semantic boundaries and the tailwind classes don’t need to be descriptive beyond what they actually do.

  We should just never stop shaming for it. Someone wearing a swastika on the bus should be booed until their stop. It could bring the rest of us together, even.

  That said, I think it might all be a distraction from society’s real enemies: the oligarchs.

  So our generation will be the first to have to teach both our boomer parents AND our millennial offspring what “RAM” is?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like if batteries got stupid expensive and they tried to tell us 200km of range is what you get in a touring EV these days. But the distances between all the places haven’t changed…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell and Lenovo may limit mid-range laptops to 8GB DDR5 RAM in response to rising memory prices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So RAM costs them more now, and they need to pass those costs onto customers. However, it seems like they’re also trying to redefine what “mid-range” means to us all, as if we aren’t fully aware of what computers are capable of and what amount of memory is good vs not. Making the various ranges cost more is intuitive. Enshitifying the ranges to sell them at the same price is just antithetical to the whole concept of the ranges…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Y’know they sell honey in squeezable bottles like ketchup and other condiments, right? This stupid wooden barrel on a stick solution seems like a recipe for a sticky mess. Also, do you just leave it in the jar, making it impossible to put the lid back on? Take it out, covered in honey, and wash it for later?

  My disdain for bad tools is irrational, I know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This poster calckey.world/notes/afzolhb0xk is more articulate than my post.

  The difference between this “spec-driven” approach is that the entire process is repeatable by AI once you’ve gotten the spec sorted. So you no longer work on the code, you just work on the spec, which can be a collection of files, files in folders, whatever — but the goal is some kind of determinism, I think.

  I use it on a much smaller scale and haven’t really cared much for the “spec as truth” approach myself, at this level. I also work almost exclusively on NextJS apps with the usual Tailwind + etc stack. I would certainly not trust a developer without experience with that stack to generate “correct” code from an AI, but it’s sort of remarkable how I can slowly document the patterns of my own codebase and just auto-include it as context on every prompt (or however Cursor does it) so that everything the LLMs suggest gets LLM-reviewed against my human-written “specs”. And doubly neat is that the resulting documentation of patterns turns out to be really helpful to developers who join or inherit the codebase.

  I think the author / developer in the article might not have been experienced enough to direct the LLMs to build good stuff, but these tools like React, NextJS, Tailwind, and so on are all about patterns that make us all build better stuff. The LLMs are like “8 year olds” (someone else in this thread) except now they’re more like somewhat insightful 14 year olds, and where they’ll be in another 5 years… Who knows.

  Anyway, just saying. They’re here to stay, and they’re going to get much better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Untrained dev here, but the trend I’m seeing is spec-driven development where AI generates the specs with a human, then implements the specs. Humans can modify the specs, and AI can modify the implementation.

  This approach seems like it can get us to 99%, maybe.

  This might be true in Canada too? I thought the death rate was related to the size of the vehicles preferred by the drivers in the measured region. And nobody likes ‘em bigger than Americans. And may Canadians, from what I’ve seen.
