On iOS it’s one of very few browsers that has good adblocking built in

That’s what I was thinking and wondering too
- Comment on Does vibe coding sort of work at all? 3 weeks ago:
My bro, your TA wasn’t better at coding because “higher IQ”. They were better because they put in the hours to build the instincts and techniques that characterize an experienced developer. As for LLM usage, my advice is to be aware of what they are and what the aren’t. They are a randomized word prediction engine trained on— among other things— all the publicly available code on the internet. This means they’ll be pretty good at solving problems that it has seen in its training set. You could use it to get things set up and maybe get something partway done, depending on how novel your idea is. An LLM cannot think or solve novel problems, and they also generally will confidently fake an answer rather than say they don’t know something, because truly, they don’t know anything. To actually make it to the finish line, you’ll almost certainly need to know how to finish it yourself, or learn how to as you go.

Similar story here except for the longest time I didn’t realize that my fellow church goers didn’t know what the Bible said, and thus couldn’t distinguish between biblical lessons and purely made-up ones

That’s the feeling it evoked in me: a childlike sense of wonder and discovery.

I see it’s a popular tactic to accuse the whistleblowers as being the ones with the real problem, which is a bullshit attempt to suppress discourse on the topic. I have another idea: that maybe those who claim that this picture isn’t sexual have been overexposed to much harder child sexual content, and as a result this picture doesn’t register on their radar. Speaking as someone who has not been exposed to any child sexual material, this is immediately, obviously meant to titillate.
- Comment on Techno feudalism, here we come 1 month ago:
Yeah, they can be useful, but not in the way that the snake oil salesmen would like you to believe. Code completion suggestions are kind of a wash: often close but needing corrections, to the point where it’s easier to just write it myself. Vibe coding really only works for basic, already-solved problems. Many kinds of code changes take such a level of precision or so many back-and-fourths with the AI that it’s more efficient to describe the logic in a programming language than in English. But AI can help with large repetitive tasks, though. Use it like a refactoring tool, but for refactorings not offered by your normal tooling. It’ll get you close, then you put the final touches on yourself.

- Comment on The Copilot Delusion 1 month ago:
There are definitely parts of programming that are boring and repetitive. I’ve been using AI to speed that up. I still do the creative parts 100% myself.

PRs still need to be reasonable size for human review, regardless of how they were authored. IMO

- Comment on Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGC 2 months ago:
True for me too, only I did buy a PS5, then a Steam Deck, then built a Linux gaming PC. I doubt I’ll ever go back to PS again, not after this gen.

What? No. No, dawg, no. Ignorance isn’t a virtue. Knowledge and expertise are something to be proud of.

And make sure to use enough vermouth! None of this “wave the vermouth bottle near the shaker” nonsense. A martini should be about 1/4 vermouth as a starting point.
- Comment on Dr Strange saw 4 billion possible futures and none of them had Thor lopping off Thanos' head on his first shot 3 months ago:
Seriously, why didn’t they stick his arm through one of those portals and then close it? Wouldn’t that sever the arm and separate Thanos far from the gems?

My hardware refresh came up this year. The asked for a MacBook instead of a windows laptop for the first time in my long career. Linux isn’t an option at my org yet.

It will go way over budget and come limping across the finish line late, with more bugs and less features than the system it replaces. I guarantee it.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 4 months ago:

No we are not. Our “representatives” listen to their corporate masters, the ones who line their pockets and fund their campaigns. They don’t listen to us.
