do i think people at anthropic think claude is people? wouldn’t surprise me. but polymarket is a casino trying to cosplay as the news to thwart the regulation it warrants

Yoked Hutt can't hurt you. Yoked Hutt isn't real. Yoked Hu... oh no.

This is a very good thread, and kind of gets to another point, but it deserves to be said out loud:

Vibe coding and idolizing the fidelity cascade is what “Agile” always wanted to be. AI just made it possible.

Polymarket is trying VERY HARD to wheedle their way into a more socially acceptable space, where instead of being FanDuel for bombings, they are thought of as An Important Dataset. They just partnered (read: gave money to) Substack for this reason. Do not accept the premise. It is bullshit.

Why I Don’t Vibe Code A “brief” accounting of various reasons why vibe coding has just never clicked for me personally as a developer.

Hey all, I decided to write up some of my thoughts in more detail about why I don't vibe code, in case it's interesting to any of you

Remember that Noem’s legal husband sat thru 1.5 hearings worth of cuck-shaming and Kristi still lost her job.

Imagine if you are an NBA basketball player, one of the 5-10 best in your class, an elite riser and star your whole life. You get to the league and see that the guy who writes your checks was a 5'10" backup guard at Michigan State, and now is worth a billion. You'd want to get into investing, too.

ending her career lying about an orwell quote while the entire room is getting news notifications about how she’s been fired and clearly doesn’t know it, perfect

both myself and my son’s mother are heavily tattoo’d. each school met us once and then we never heard another word about his appearance.

A liar stays a liar, a fuckup stays a fuckup, and a bad and dishonest party will stay a bad and dishonest party. A sports fan knows a free rider in the system when they see one, because the New York Jets exist. They recognize bad faith actors because they’ve seen EPL ownership. Watch this: This year the Atlanta Falcons will be different. You’re laughing, because you already know how this ends. It’s not nice, but you’re still laughing.

It's not nice but that doesn't stop it from being true

they’ll just replace her with someone who does the same vile shit

you’re not wrong. and for me those situations were shit, but also a known entity. there was a perverse comfort in that.

when that’s happened for me my response is almost always anger and frustration with myself for letting it be unresolved for so long.

i’m convinced removing the old school headphone jack has caused this.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

true equality is when everyone has the same means and opportunity afforded to them as a mediocre white man.
