Music isn't really new either it's just recombining riffs already created. But the recombinations create new experiences. Might be the same with design?

I asked both sonnet 4.6 and gpt-5.3 to summarize the use cases in this room, looks pretty different. Chatgpt tries a lot harder to categorize whereas Claude is more straightforward about just listing out use case examples.

i've been engineering things for almost 30 years and getting it wired up to Discord was worse than a root canal. Slack seemed just a tad better but it still doesn't even work.

I feel like most of this can be done with the platform tools at this point or a tiny bit of wiring of your own without the mega-bloat to make something generalized for the whole world.

Time flies. I do think the vision lasted pretty long post acquisition, maybe 5 years or so, but then the inevitable seemed... inevitable.

Ya I agree it's totally crazy.... but, do most app deployments need even half that stuff? I feel like most apps at most companies can just build an app and deploy it using some modern paas-like thing.

Maybe we should pass laws to ban driving. Then nobody will get hurt!

For those that used to attend in-person technical events before 2020, are you going again?

It feels to me like the US is slower to return to in-person events than other parts of the world.

I've found that clarity is likely the most important aspect of success in general. Clarity in communication, for example, makes people feel invovled, heard, aligned. Cleverness is lots of acronyms and fancy phrases like vis-a-vis instead of just writing out what you mean so everyone can easily understand.

Personally I'll take "kook" (or worse) as a trade off for safety and sanity of my children any day of the week.

i've always felt the social world order is as follows:

Facebook/Insta: I'm cool!

Twitter/X: I'm smart!

LinkedIn: I'm successful!

Tik Tok: (I have no idea)

As long as you know this, it all makes more sense.

These camera's are on all 3 egress routes from our home. I asked our local sheriff's department if they could use these to enforce state-wide curfews and after hemming and hawing they admitted "if it was a crime than in theory, yes".

Been thinking about this lately because I find my writing style is a little bit like annoying slightly sycophantic overly-hyphenated-with-an-emdash-here-and-there LLMs. Since LLMs are trained on the Internet, wouldn't some portion of posts that fall in the middle of the "voice bell curve" always sound like LLMs and thus be open to this critique even when they are 100% human written?

New comment by carimura in "It's insulting to read AI-generated blog posts"

carimura — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:47:59 +0000

I feel like sometimes I write like an LLM, complete with [bad] self-deprecating humor, overly-explained points because I like first principals, random soliloquies, etc. Makes me worry that I'll try and change my style.

That said, when I do try to get LLMs to write something, I can't stand it, and feel like the OP here.

the future is now where debates about human vs machine will influence our trust and enjoyment! I read the article wondering how much of it was AI generated (new worry!), but also how biased it was based on the authors startup business interest (old worry!), and concluded that if I learned something about the panel it was worth the 5 minutes. Or maybe 2 minutes if an AI summarized it.
