We’ve also been blowing a lot of retainer hours just patching sites instead of building new features. It sucks. Ultimately going to cost clients more.

Seriously, we’re in a bubble here and everything thinks everything is touched by ai now. That’s not true at all, people need to look outside of HN and Twitter. Lots of devs are refusing to use them. Quite a number of companies are happily chugging away by hand.

Reality is majority of websites don’t need highly performant dom ops. Most sites also don’t even need all the JavaScript they have to begin with but that’s another story.

Sony has treated me well and I don’t have it internet connected. It’s the one brand I haven’t seen nag when you have the internet disconnected. Was also easy to just opt right out of connecting it. Pretty standard google tv too.

Norwegian cruise line had a similar thing recently with emails going out with actual booking information. Basically identical to the frontier scam emails. I wonder if there’s some customer service software that’s being exploited that they both use.
Edit: some info from the NcL one with screenshots that look similar https://www.reddit.com/r/NCL/comments/1x2q54e/warning_possib...

Exactly. All of these examples are well documented games. And even then it’s only really good at games that don’t need realtime.

Maybe at first, but server hardware doesn't stay deployed tooo long and ends up liquidated. That was always a looming problem with this rapid buildout. Some hosts like OVH or Hetzner might swipe up some second hand gear, they're not afraid of renting old hardware. But eBay will be flooded once the DCs upgrade / downscale. And it wont be cheap at first either I bet. Everyone will try to cash in on the secondary market hype.

I love how their marketing is increasingly trying to convince M1 mac owners why they should upgrade. The m1 is still way overpowered for what most people need, including developers. I'm keeping my m1 and m1 max until they stop supporting it.

iOS has that for calls but they still leave a notification you have to manually clear. I wish for an option to just not tell me at all.

Vibe coders / Slopgineers that don't know the foundations of how these systems work are going to fall behind people who actually know how to program. Just because the machine can spit out text quickly doesn't mean it's good. And no, what all of these LLMs output isn't good css.

The flat design trend really confused me. It really took off when high resolution screens started getting popular too, really made no sense. Wish we'd bring back Skeuomorphic design. Bring back that wood grain and metal textures. Bring back the fun UI's and app themes. Bring back real buttons!

People are starting to figure that out with the ALPR / Data Center pushback. There’s a lot of cities that have gone by without much public oversight. I know here the people that started showing up have picked up on things that would have gone under the radar. Local politics matter!

Not very interesting, just being vague to not give it any context that it might be doing security research. Treating it like a game also works fairly well. It's hard to get more detailed about how since I use it for work and don't want it patched out, ya know?
Splitting it up between turns, like Luna seems more willing than Sol. If you get blocked better to take what context you have and start a new chat and try to remove anything that could trigger.
Also helps if you're not hitting real domains, soon as you leave localhost the blocks happen a lot more often I've noticed.
And oddly, sometimes daybreak gives more blocks than not using it.
