I don’t fault you, some exhibits are pretty depressing. There are good aquariums though.

Monterey for example, has great exhibits and they give back to the bay. I’d argue it’s the best in north america

Kaiyukan in osaka japan was amazingly pretty when I went. One of the most amazing deep ocean tanks I’ve seen and they put a lot of effort in making the exhibits

New York aquarium was pretty depressing. That one sucked TBH. Idk what they’re doing there but it’s underfunded and the tanks are kinda in disrepair.

Depends on if you consider sailing the open seas a crime

Oh no I’m overheating how do I avoid thermal throttling

Bottle water is in reference to giant corporations like nestle privatizing access to clean water.

These corporations usually end up buying up rights to an entire water source and restricting access from locals, even if locals had used the water for generations

Medicine is more about the markup of life saving drugs (at least how I interpreted it). Insulin costs less than 10 dollars to make, but gets marked up to 300 dollars. Insurance doesn’t cover it all, so you end up paying most of it out of pocket.

I have never seen anyone except streamers try this out in all honesty, I doubt the article is actually truthful. Even vibe coders understand how to type.

Truly hate this timeline

I’ve been looking at used PCs and usually those are just missing the gpu, but now I’ve been seeing no RAM and no SSD. At least with the gpu only being missing it was semi functional if there was integrated graphics, but now you are just basically buying a brick until you can get 3 components that cost 400 or so USD

Ehh there’s a lot of low effort content on youtube, but I don’t really see that much slop. Most of the low effort ones are just clips usually taken from twitch with minimal editing

Of those 500 videos, 294 were classified as AI slop, a term Kapwing defines as videos with obvious AI-generated visuals or low-quality compilations using clearly AI-generated scripts and voiceovers. The 59 per cent rate is roughly three times the proportion found on YouTube in the same study, making TikTok’s default experience dramatically worse for anyone opening the app for the first time.

I looked up the article the og source referenced, which does say what they defined as ai slop.

The original article isn’t helpful because statistics don’t mean anything if they don’t also define what they’re measuring, and they cut the definition short.

What are they classifying as ai slop? Cause in YouTube there is a lot of low effort content that aren’t slop, and there is also low effort content narrated by ai that I’d consider slop, and then there is actual ai slop

The friday shenanigans to engineer weekend ruined pipeline at it again

When there’s a will there’s a way

Given that LLM takes the weakest security vector (the human) and tries to emulate them, there’s bound to be millions of workarounds

Tangentially related but if anyone likes sea horror, here’s one about a mining rig, specifically one that uses pontoons.

The real vibe coding is a bottle of beer and a lotta fuck it

Test driven development is moreso

1. You know what real life scenarios you’re solving for. Basically, this is the problem statement of your design.
2. You write out these tests to say your service must pass these tests in order for it to be considered working. In order to consider problem x solved, the service must do y.
3. You make the first iteration of your service to just repeat exactly what the tests want it to output (basically to create a skeleton with a bunch of magic numbers)
4. You make the second iteration. What magic numbers can you remove and actually implement for? What workaround can be fixed? Are they still passing the test? If they start failing the test, you should relook at what you wrote and debug from there (this assumes your tests are rightfully written).
5. You keep continuing with that process until you have a service that fits your test cases and without mocks

The obvious flaw is that 1 is almost never truly accurate. Scope usually changes, and assumptions made probably invalidate your test. It is a valid way of thinking though, because it helps define your expectations, and reduces the likelihood of you making something that misses the target.

Ah that makes sense

I can’t stop you from doing it, but please make sure you do your due diligence on where you get it from and exactly how it will affect you

As for doctors, it’s a very much your mileage may vary type of scenario. They’ll have their own biases as evident by the comic. You can ask them about the procedure though, and you can frame it as how it’ll affect you. Ask them about how post procedure will look like. You can subtly nudge them by saying you didn’t have a good reaction with x prescription previously, and how it affected your daily life. They should be able to get an alternative placed for you.

Uhh taking medication you’re not supposed to during a medical appointment is a fast track to being 6 feet under

You don’t know what you’re actually getting, you don’t know if it has any complications with your surgery, and you don’t know if they’ll provide some medication that does not go with what you took.

You can easily get a different drug or even get one that’s contaminated, you could accidentally take a drug with a side effect of dilating your blood vessel or anti blood clot and bleed out, or you could take a drug that doesn’t work with anesthesia and you wake up by accident during the procedure

Please be safe and if you don’t think your doctors are providing care, find a second opinion.

The thing is that there are real measurements of the market share of windows dropping. The only reason why adoption of w11 overtook w10 user size is because they made w10 end of life (although there are still ways around)

Unfortunately, some business idiot mathed up that losing users is fine as long as the others get forced onto w11

Windows could have done so much differently. More seamless integration with xbox and cross platform for gaming. Different, easily swappable profiles (windows) for different tasks (basically overhauling desktops, like for art, dev work, etc). Optimizing microsofts enterprise software suite without all the bloat. Not deprecating the idea of android support.

But like all big tech companies, they only see money now

I wish windows went down a different path. Instead they decided to double down on ads and ai, because shareholders are more important than the actual customers

Yea windows is such dogshit it’s honestly impressive

The only reason why windows is still alive imo is because of stupid game companies using anticheat which is almost always some invasive crap that only works on windows
