yeah, I think the OP's take is really naive

the tools and models will get a lot better, but more importantly the end products that succeed will make measured, judicious use of AI.

there always has been slop, and people will always misuse tools and create abominations, but the heights of greatness that are possible are increasing with AI, not decreasing

I think 10x is a reasonable long term goal, given continued improvements in models, agentic systems, tooling, and proper use of them.

It's close already for some use cases, for example understanding a new code base with the help of cursor agent is kind of insane.

We've only had these tools for a few years, and I expect software development will be unrecognizable in ten more.

the extent that Trump has gone to remove barriers to committing atrocities likely corresponds to the extent he intends to commit them

that would be awesome, assuming they're all evil, but destroys the principle of faith

I'm pretty sure that the ruse, if there is one, must be impossible to prove

you're missing the point of being transgender.

the goal is not to claim that they were born a different gender. that would be delusional, and transgender people can be totally rational.

the point is simply to live as their preferred gender, and ideally be accepted as such.

when they live as their preferred gender, they are able to feel happy and content, just like everyone else. it's not that difficult to consider how miserable we would feel if people misgendered us. it's a common insult.

treating everyone as the gender they prefer is a simple act of kindness. you can choose to be an asshole about it, but you're not standing up for the truth, you're just choosing to be an asshole.

gender dysmorphia is the illness, and transitioning is the cure.

Such adrenaline and joy 😂

With an optimum design, bipedal robots are likely more power efficient. Read up on the efficiency of the human gait to understand why.

In practice though, it's really challenging to get an optimum design (the current state of the art is not even close), so polypeds are better from a practicality standpoint.

Totally agree - RoR is one of my all time favorites. Its strategic elegance and style just didn't survive the translation to 3D

1800 hours in Noita. Just last week started what's become a perfect god run (circle of vigor and transmuted all polymorphing liquids) to get the golden necklace and consider it beaten.

Really funny that this game isn't even on anyone else's list. I guess I really am special, haha
