The difference between most GT and Standard classes lies in your ability and willingness to put in extra work.
Half the kids in the standard classes just want to skate along as easily as possible. Why stress and work hard when you get the same exact outcome in the end? It’s not like they want to go on to college, so why work hard now?
It’s not that different in the workforce in many places.

Most programming classes are bullshit. You come out with basic knowledge of practices that aren’t used in real production. They teach you how to write code, but they don’t teach you how code is written in most businesses.
Outside of actual gaming programs in colleges, new developers are generally bewildered and end up making stuff that’s hard to maintain.
We had a professor sit in with us for a few months once to get the gist of what was needed so he could form classes around game deveopment.

- Comment on I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me? 4 days ago:
They don’t care, they get paid to show you the ads. And the people spending to get the ads delivered aren’t given very good demographics or proof that the people seeing them are good candidates, all they know is that people are watching them and that some of those people click through.

Fuck, I was with them when it was 1x60s ad or 2x30s ads only in the middle of the video. I would grumble at 30s/15m.
I turned off the adblock the other day to pay physics girl some ad-rev, it was fucking unreal. I was trying not to skip, her 8m video tried to give me a 30 second ad, a 5 minute ad, and a mutli-hour ad. Who the fuck would watch that, who the fuck would pay to put a multi-hour ad on an 8m video that nobody is going to watch?
One day the ads will catch up to us, they’ll just embed them in stream and refuse to let you ff/rewind. and at that point, i’ll just go back to record->comskip and store what I want to see on my nas.

Unless you’re going to use the “from a certain point of view” argument, this is demonstrably false.

looks pretty promising, i see there are a ton of bluetooth remotes on Amazon that are simple media on one side and keyboard on the back. I might have to screw with that on an android and see If I can cobble together a launcher that’s media friendly

I TOTALLY feel you. I’ve wanted a good media remote for ages. seems like a project to repurpose a bluetooth remote to control a phone would be medium low difficulty

- Comment on New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI 1 week ago:
A many-month-long refactor on code you’ve already written is less than fun. While I don’t love seeing a project I’m using being 80% replaced by Claude code, I’ve had Claude code look at some of my old projects and find underlying issues I was able to verify, and then suggested a more best-practice approach that I wasn’t even aware of. The real question is, was the claude output better than the original code? If it is and it has unit tests and many eyes on it, it’s quite possible that it’s better off now.
I’ll sit on my current versions for a few months and let everyone else test it out :)

I’m rather a fan of letting it do stupid, repetitive shit. I need you to create 30 linux accounts the other day from a screen shot. Then store, initial keys and creds in my password manager platform.
Hey, Claude, write me a bash script to do this from this image. and also use best practice for removing non-standard characters from login names.
I review the loop and the general state of the OCR and let it go.

I don’t actually buy it. It won’t fit on memory modules as they are today, but in the end, it’s just faster, higher density, prob has some extra features, but nothing you can’t rework a motherboard or modules to support. of course, min quantity will be like 128GB :)

They could, but you’ll likely be the last one to go. Those kids will likely kill each other without supervision, and the third time they have to drive little Jimmy to school because the bus AI didn’t wait 30 seconds, they’ll be so far up the administration’s ass. They’ll know what they had for breakfast.

Anyone who lets AI do this is absolutely inept, lazy, or deserving.
In its default configuration, it stops at EVERY STEP. Do you want to run this command, do you want to update this file, here’s the file I want to modify and the patch i’m going to use with adds and deletes in green and red.
If you’re using it in unsafe permissions mode, click yeah sure allow Claude to run whatever the fuck it wants in this directory, or just hitting yeah sure go ahead every time, it’s your own damn fault.
It’s self-driving for the terminal. Don’t you dare take your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.
