For better performance, visit https://dr.molodetz.nl. The site now enables intelligent local caching of resources, with a 1-minute local cache for HTML content. It successfully proxies all external domain resources (e.g., avatars), caching them while excluding API responses to ensure notifications remain current. All resource patches are done decently using beautifulsoup, no regex shit.

It brings back the original devRant experience! Yes, avatars work again on opened threads but not on the feeds list / notification list, those are rendered by JS. Could patch that but for now out of scope.

A forty-five minute daily standup for a team of twelve is absolutely criminal and I feel like I'm the insane one for being the only one to not be okay with that.

If your are creating really something completely new, you have a custom idea / algorithm, AI is really against you. So far, I did not really notice it, because lets face it, when are you creating something really new? It`s mostly just all the same, maybe different gameplay, other type of data, but it is still the same. I am trying to reinvent agentic browsing because everyone fails at that. I found the golden hammer. I was so enthousiast that for the first time in quite a while i coded myself again. At a certain moment, i had my skeleton ready and do what i always do: I let AI finish it. That did it completely correct. But then, i went moving on and i started to realize that it was strongly opiniated to do things different > like everyone does > everyone fails.

AI is so interesting, i really compare it to learning C. Everytime you think you master it, you get shot in the foot unexpectedly. With AI it`s exactly the same.

Also, it is just NOT AI. That is ok it is still PARTIALLY useful... Very useful. But the last thing we need is a agentic React and feedback loop. I could write a rant about that as well. Those things are literally a trial on error approach delivering what we are used to from AI. Stuff that kinda works. Slowly, slowly, we find out that we actually don`t want someone to think for us. Maybe that is the great thing and benefit of a computer, it doesn`t think. Maybe the whole concept of AI, the idea of it, is broken.

Just like VR. Lets create a virtual world that looks super closely to the real world. But in reality, we already have a real world and it is not comfortable to be disconnected of it in the form of a headset. I think it will never be comfortable for me.

Some concepts are just better in theory than reality.

Still, I am the creator of the best AI companion / assistant ever! Only issue is, the magic is a bit gone if you create it yourself.

I don’t know if someone made this joke already (most probably yes), but…

The opposite of increment isn’t decrement. It’s excrement.

RIP jew, may satan be with you (this is common sens as jews worship satan).

There are too many js librarieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss

Roko`s balsalisk. Now you`re doomed. You should not have read it. There is no hiding from it now. You`re welcome.

do you believe in earning things or do you use some other strategy in life?

I was reading FreeRTOS documentation today and was reminded of ostream.
"Tasks are normally implemented as an infinite loop; the function which implements the task must never attempt to return or exit. Tasks can, however, delete themselves."

geez

I wondered if there's like a "best of AI" subreddit or something. some actual genuine fun, memes around AI and what people do with it. but there isn't. best I found is an AI forum but it's everyone complaining about if their jobs will be taken away from them or not

dead tech, 100% man. nobody is actually excited about this or making use of it. I think everyone just hates it

... earlier heard a dude say AI gets 10% of things wrong, and when it gets it wrong it's like a drunk teenager eating lead. I think 10% is a serious underestimation... the guy claims he doesn't let his AI make actual decisions/responses/reactions/control anything at his company... but he's using it to tell him its judgements on data in his system. if the AI can't be trusted to reply, why are you trusting it to understand without verifying it yourself? he thinks he's being so clever with that... but it just never occurred to him it could be making errors in its perceptions. if it's soooo badly dangerous that it often deletes whole systems when given access there is absolutely no reason to think it doesn't "seriously misjudge" the data it looks at to begin with... it SERIOUSLY MISJUDGING the data it's looking at is probably how it's ending up deleting various systems? this guy just doesn't think to check. I guess perceptions are considered cheap but they're the most expensive thing there is -- because EVERYTHING is downstream from perceptions. OODA loop. my god. and this guy thinks he's an AI skeptic...

we're all just folly to our human laziness I suppose

Have you ever wondered what happened w/ all the unsold devDucks?

Found those purely by accident, given how I had been looking for controllers.

In DOS: *(char*)0xB8000 = 'A'; would literally put an A on the screen.

Did you check this? fucking amazing, would love to get my hands on an old IBM machine running this DOS

talk about "her videos are so goood": https://youtu.be/-4s23sNq6mM/...

and well researched and enlightening and stuff

bruhh no wonder the D&D crowd is so annoying. so much brainwashing smh
