Yeah the only reason I watched this one is cause I've read the book. but man it just reaffirms my decision to skip trailers for every movie I'm remotely interested in. PSA don't watch the trailer for this one and just watch the movie when it comes out, I'm pretty sure it'll be good

this is definitely one of my favorite YouTube sketches of all time

I learned about shift response vs support response from this Anna Akana video: https://youtu.be/y99WZ-3c6zE

Time and place for both, but putting names to them made me a bit more conscious of balancing the two.

so what are the sentiments about langchain? I was recently working with it to try to build some automatic PR generation scripts but I didn't have the best experience understanding how to use the library. the documentation has been quite messy, repetitive and disorganized—somehow both verbose and missing key details. but it does the job I wanted it to, namely letting me use an LLM with tool calling and custom tools in a script

I get the marvel fatigue for sure. but damn, getting to the last EP of Loki season 2 and not finishing it is a real disservice to yourself

Check out this 12tone video which tries to analyze what makes something "heavy". tl;dr: sonic transgression https://youtu.be/b0mo17wLB4Q

For first person games, map reload on mouse 4 and sprint (or whatever else was on shift, maybe a spell) on mouse 5. Melee is left alt.

I think the preference difference might have something to do with being used to scroll wheels or not. I personally grew up using mice with scroll wheels before I got my first touch screen device (iPod touch) so when trackpads started supporting multi-touch scroll I was already used to scrolling my fingers down to move down in the content.

Linguists are probably the least likely people to get upset at someone using the "wrong" word. they might pull out their notebook and start asking you questions though

not pictured, but uniball eye micro was my goat for high school and college. I had to do british standardized exams in high school which required black pen (not pencil). these guys write super smoothly and create really nice lines, but they take a sec or two to dry so you gotta be careful not to smudge.

I think #1 in the pic is a thicker version of these

grammar pedantry is way more annoying than any grammar mistake

my friend did these for me yesterday

I always wondered if something like this could be possible in the future of terminals. glad to see kitty pushing the envelope! Looking forward to see this used for stuff like markdown rendering. Hoping this gets picked up by other terminals and neovin like the undercurl did.

I cannot for the life of me figure out what was redacted

I have this as a sticker on my water bottle

If you're going for "pop music all sounds the same", that doesn't really match my experience of actually listening to modern popular music. There's so much damn variety and unique sound out there these days. Although I'm not a professional musician so I guess I can't be sure what kinds of creative restrictions being in the industry puts on one

Soon for me "human being" will be high enough of a bar to be nontrivial to enforce

I loved programming since I was 14. This was an acceptable passion to spend time on because it would allow me to be successful (read: make money).

My sister always loved visual art, and is now in art school. This is an unacceptable passion, and when she tells people that she's in art school the first response is almost always "oh so what are you planning to do with that degree?"

We have been conditioned into a very narrow definition of success. It's not surprising then that we start seeing art as "the next big problem to solve", and you have all these tech bros frothing at the mouth to be the first to "solve" it and become the next startup billionaire.

Low-effort art and music has always been around. You don't see anyone bumping those inoffensive cover albums and lounge remixes that you hear at the mall or the driving range in their cars though. Anyone who doesn't already love listening to music isn't in that position because of a lack of options in the (sigh) market. So I promise you won't see "billions of new customers" dying to consume derivative slop music.

one thing I hate about AI images is that if you have multiple of the same subject in the image, they often all look exactly the same. the backs and faces of those leopards are eerie in their uniformity
