How legit is this? Seems low on details.
I don't use Cursor or the VSCode extension, but know plenty in our organisation who use the latter. How worried should we be?
As someone from the UK, all these points seem ridiculous to me, are they really valid elsewhere?
I get that point 1 is extremely valid in a place like the US where everyone can have a gun.
Do other countries not enforce fines?
In the UK you can have your car confiscated on the spot if the automated number plate recognition in a patrol car flags you don't have insurance. Fines are enforced, but escalating that to non-payment of fines seems like something they could do (people might complain, but only the ones not paying their fines!)
Pro subscriber here: available in the Gemini app, not available in AntiGravity.
I'm not going to 5.5x my subscription cost without being able to try it out first. To be fair though, I'm not going to 5.5x my subscription cost anyway, as my current usage would not warrant that! But that doesn't change the validity of my prior point.
Possibly:
British reading -> sweating a lot
American reading -> sweating ejaculate
Or possibly something to do with how running work on a model is referred to as a load?
Fuck knows!
The question is though, "Can you build anything that actually works?"
I only looked at PhotoCraft and it has some huge issues.
I want this on the macOS Settings badge.
Have no intention to upgrade my Intel Mac Pro to Tahoe, so Settings is going to permanently have the "something needs attention" badge I guess.
Was just coming to comment on that too.

You have to disable all ad-blocking (either extensions or Pi-Hole) in order to make it past that "feature".
Unfortunately sometimes you can't even vote with your wallet.
I was bored yesterday and started watching a stupid documentary series about UFOs/UAP on Netflix. It was immediately obvious that the voice over was AI slop bullshit. All I could do is stop watching and thumb down it, but they still have my money. :(
You don't relinquish copyright by using a FOSS license though, right?
AOC/Agon OLEDs also have the annoying nag that fires repeatedly to say "Your monitor will go into pixel cleaning mode in 10/5/4/3/2/1 minutes". I still haven't figured out how to easily defer that, and it's super annoying when in the middle of a Rocket League match that the monitor just turns itself off to pixel clean for 10 minutes.
My mistake, I was under the impression Reddit was the place for facetious "funny" comments.
Aren't you clever knowing the periodic table symbol for gold! Actual Intelligence could grasp this was a simple keytranspose typo...
I'm fed up of Croatia never appearing in lists of EU states. I'd get involved if they were added to this site.
Same, my D.O.B. is 1/1/1970 for anything that doesn't justify having the real deal.
I read the backtrack free "pretty" as "pretly" at first; it adds cognitive load to understand it as intended.
The other thing I really love is the cross-platform support.
I don't have to tweak my usage of the terminal depending which platform I'm on.
I just have to remember to use Ctrl+Shift for copy/paste on Windows/Linux.
For 68k depending on the size you're interested in then it mostly doesn't matter.
.b and .w -> clr eor sub are all identical

> Did generated code decrease the price of software products?
I think it's too early to say.
You could argue that if software development is low effort due to "vibe coding" then it doesn't have the same value as it once did. Perhaps there'll be a race to the bottom by new entrants to the market who don't need to pay a whole development team and can massively undercut the incumbents. Or perhaps the race to the bottom will be in quality along with price, but the savvy user will see the value the incumbents provide.
This came up in the Discord party chat, basically there isn't a size limit in the rules[1], but going beyond 2GB would be concerning that it's not a real-time demo but instead just playback of animation.

Not sure I agree with the final takeaway point. At least from a personal standpoint anyway. I used AI images in a couple of Amiga intros, but actively admitted to using them. At the time there wasn't quite the backlash against their use, so now would completely steer clear, but not having access to a graphic artist is reflected in the output I've managed in the recent times (zero).
I tried using a debit card, it will not let me progress. The issue is a debit card can be issued to anyone, including those under 18. So that then becomes a useless age verification.
This new age verification is such bullshit, I don't even live in the UK any more yet have to be subject to that bullshit because Apple (and a bunch of other companies) can't comprehend the concept that people might want to change which country they live in.
Can't use my expired provisional license to confirm my age.
Can't use my Croatian ID to confirm my age.
Can't use a credit card, because I never have had nor do I ever want to have a credit card.
So I'm fucked.
I doubt they will. I suspect the rumours of a touch screen MacBook are likely true and that's the reason for the shitshow that is Tahoe's UI.
Netflix age recommendations are a complete joke.
There was one documentary series that apparently appropriate for 7+ and had "motherfucker" within the first 30 seconds of one episode.
I don't know which parallel reality they're from where that is an appropriate word for a 7 year old to learn.
Instantly took me back 35 years.
I wonder if you can age a person based on them knowing this and whatever the Siegfried Sassoon poem that was covered in order to demonstrate onomatopoeia? I suppose it would depend how long it was (or indeed if it still is) part of the curriculum.
I would half like to move back to the UK, but I'm terribly worried that after jumping through all the hoops so that my EU citizen partner could come with us and be a part our children's lives that Reform would get in and throw out all the "undesirables" (basically anyone without a British Passport at first, sure they won't stop there). I'm really not sure how likely them attaining power is, but it sure looks like a terrible but possible future from afar. :(
