every junior engineer must deal with this trial eventually

>openai is releasing chatgpt wrappers
We’re testing SearchGPT, a temporary prototype of new AI search features that give you fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources.
We’re launching with a small group of users for feedback and plan to integrate the experience into ChatGPT.

anecdotally I feel a lot of places that used to have comment sections are removing them, it's a shame
don't think there's a grand conspiracy behind it or anything lol, just that moderating a place like that is hard and thankless
Crunchyroll has completely removed the comment section on the platform, including from episodes and articles.

I've always been a bit weirded-out by the trend starting from the mid-to-late 2000s where startup profitability seemed to be an afterthought - reddit hasn't made money, twitch I don't think has ever been profitable, ditto for discord, etc.

part of me feels like tpot - not twitter in general, tpot specifically - has an unfortunate habit of overusing and running things into the ground

unfortunately one possibility of the adblock wars is most of the web turning into opaque WASM blobs in an effort to make it harder for adblockers to function
would be a shame - the ability to examine and modify has been, on the whole, a good thing - I would be sad to see it go

once again I am bemoaning the death of flash and lack of any true successor
that said I think the newgrounds era was a product of several different factors - vector art fit over low-bandwidth connections, no smartphones to worry about, etc.

semi-related but in tpot in particular i get the vibe that one needs to be the next alexander the great in order to not be written off as a disappointment lol
why do we have a culture of teaching people that they can’t possibly succeed as an underdog

genuine situation, I have about roughly 50,000-80,000 archived memes/assorted pictures I've stored up over the years

something I've wanted to write for a little while is a short thread on what makes anime from the early 2000s visibly and technically different from the anime of today

twitter is dying, the moderators hate us, the oomfies are leaving, the advertisers aren't contacting us
we might be alone, it just might be you and me, but that's okay, because do you really need anyone else?

it's probably easier than ever to run a forum (docker + discourse + SSO for instance) - but where are they? did we collectively decide to coalesce around twitter/other sites?

what was the largest codebase you had to read and understand in undergrad CS?
for the work I did in operating systems it was maybe a 3,000-liner, feel the kids might be a little unprepared for the real world™ there if I'm not alone

when i was young(er) i thought stallman was some kooky extremist, and the concept of nonfree software being considered unethical was an untenable position to me
the older I get and the more i have to deal with the consequences of black boxes the more and more i get his thinking
the closed nature of openAI makes me incredibly uncomfortable
this is the most important software that mankind has ever created. for it to be closed is a dystopia. i won't live in that world

private likes i could sort of understand even if i disagreed (being more free to like something contentious) but getting rid of visible metrics altogether doesn't make much sense to me

not sure what the rationale behind funding these kinds of companies is, the user base is already used to them being free and there's generally no other obvious way to make them sustainable

genuinely, sqlite is such a lovely piece of software
everything you'd want in a sql implementation without having to administrate some behemoth of a system, scales further than you might think too
"yacine, why did you choose sqlite as your database?"
because i scp it into chatGPT and get charts in a few seconds.
are you keeping up?

a sentiment I see expressed towards everything from chess to HFT to speedrunning - "why do <seemingly-pointless activity> when you could be curing cancer?"
imo the world doesn't need to be perfectly optimal; these activities bring joy (or a big paycheck lol) - that's good enough
Every day I am newly in awe at the amount of elite cognitive talent––world historical levels of memorization, strategy, optimization, real-time problem solving––getting put to use on increasingly trivial tasks like speedrunning Sekiro blindfolded.

it's really not good for a language to be so complicated that people can't help but struggle with it or use it incorrectly

every time i write if err != nil { return err } i think of his message
