Those are definitely ads and definitely not what I want out of a streaming service I am paying for. This is why I don't use Amazon Prime Video much, even Apple TVs subtle ads for other programs are distasteful and I get Apple TV for free, it still pisses me off.

weird to me that people still fall for Musk's propaganda

i had hoped him lying about being an amazing video game player, literally paying someone else to play for him and taking all the credit, would open folks' eyes to the fact that he lies about the most basic things


It takes a odd kind of person to look at someone who can't tell the truth if their life depended on it... And then start bending over backwards to explain how brilliant they are.

Most of the rest of us understand that once you've said enough brazen bullshit, you forfeit the right to be believed.


I haven't heard of those, but I've used Zig and Rust for some projects

What's the pitch?


The V pitch was a bunch of features that seemed implausible like automatic C++ translation and near-GC ergonomics with near-manual-memory behavior, without Rust-style explicit lifetime annotations or pervasive reference counting. so basically the pitch was the holy grail of systems, which caused drama as the project was met with extreme skepticism.

That was 7 years ago and since then the project has not delivered the grail, instead settling to be more of a mashup between go and C.

Bend is completely different it was just announced last week. It doesn’t have any users and has a weird ai integration so I done see how it’s relevant as a contender in the systems space at all.


Also the creator of Bend is... lets just say he doesn't stick to projects for long.

> One caveat worth stating up front

It would be nice if people would note that their posts are AI generated, and put that in the title here to make it easier to ignore


I'm not exactly sure what you mean, that seems like a pretty phrase to me, is it considered an LLMism now? Kinda feels like the same thing with the em-dashes; I can't use em anymore because people will then assume I'm an LLM, even though just a few years ago it was a perfectly normal thing to do.

It's entirely possible I'm just getting worse and worse at picking out LLM writing these days too, who knows.


It’s a very common tic of recent Claude models specifically. Don’t worry - for better or worse, the labs are trying to train away AI writing smells (for example, Anthropic talked about Fable 5.1 having more natural writing), so this particular tic will probably become outdated as an AI indicator relatively soon, as em dashes already have. And then people will forget about it.

Google's review is complete horseshit. It has been darkly funny to watch them try to compete with Apple by adding strict review (way stricter than Apple's) and still terrible applications make it in while legitimate ones have trouble.

Just go back to the way it was before, and scan the apps with static analysis tools. This security theater is stupid and always was (for Apple and Google).


I can't see pictures in my mind or hear anything. Feels very weird to know that it isn't standard for folks to be like me.

I just realized for the first time (like 1 minute ago, after reading this), that I also can't conjure up images in my head. If I close my eyes and try to visualize a cat, or a family member's face, I can't. Still have normal visual dreams though.

I dunno - seems normal to me! :)


There is no moat with this stuff. There's no reason to be concerned about being leapfrogged.

my understanding is twitter is primarily bots at this point

i'm surprised any human is still there


then your understanding seems to be quite limited :)

what even was the point of typing that? it just reads as kindergarten bully on an ipad.

dont see how its bullying? someone is demonstrating a very childish point of view , almost to the point of preaching. which I would say a little bit of critical thinking says is otherwise. why else would so many want xcancel in the first place?

not really, no

so people just want to be looking at X for all the bot posts.. got you :)

truly Google's on fault. Their results have been shit for at least 2 years now

literally the only thing i want out of ai ^^^^

that said, it is fun generating code with them
