Firefox appears to support tab groups^[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups] if you'd like to try it.

If you're a big dork like me and don't like installing extensions, you can use Tab Groups in Chrome (or any Chromium-based browser). I save groups as sort of temp (ephemeral if I want to impress promptfondlers) bookmarks categorized by whatever miscellaneous stuff.

You can close the group and every tab will reopen when you open the group. When you delete all the tabs, the group is removed from the top of the browser window.

thinking about how often code will be like

[-1] * len(array) # -1 is a place holder because I don't know the vocabulary term "sentinel value"

and justified because "it just needs to work"

and now we have professional vibe coders

half as good as expert human

60% of what a senior can do

is there like a character sheet somewhere so i can know where i fall on this developer spectrum

fn silly is what it is

the closest i've ever come to being an idea guy is saying 'yeah, i have ideas, they are [shit them out explicitly]. they are half-baked at best but let me know if you do anything with it'

coming up with ideas is fucking easy, for example:

pick a (palatable) villain from anything
put them in a setting that is banal but unusual for them
write jokes

BAM

Number magic?

they use numerology.ai as a backend

"we encode shit as numbers in an arbitrary way and then copy-paste it into chatgpt"

do not eat

Why are people paying for it… is it only for some fancy editor integration so it sends off/reads back the code as needed?

from what i understand, having had a promptfondling former friend try to sell me on it, is that it is just LLM-autocomplete for code, so yeah the editor integration

my best attempt at emulating it:

def what_was_that_sorting_algorithm_called_again(array, length_because_i_dont_know_python_semantics_so_i_use_cursor):
    if ... # [here, i guess it would suggest something stupid like checking if the array is already sorted]

edit: that is, i don't think this can be done directly through the LLMs they plug into. but idk, i haven't touched any of these since 2023

trying to explain why a philosophy background is especially useful for computer scientists now, so i googled "physiognomy ai" and now i hate myself

i have a potato that can study, send me your venmo if interested

i googled for discussion around how a VPN can protect (or not) against a MITM attack, and came across this:

We are a small team of men trained through stoicism, currently, as newcomers to cybersecurity, we’ve taken the biggest risk by betting everything on ourselves and the leverage we can gain by sacrificing everything that is not essential.

and while the technical parts seem fine based on a surface-reading, this thick as molasses STOIC MANLINESS of their red-teaming is the silliest shit ever

(ps: read their website in the voice of foghorn leghorn, it's pretty fun)

2. We’re likelier to be in a simulation run by whoever creates many simulations.

would love to ask these dorks "what is the event space of this probability distribution" and "have you heard of a category error"
