They least they could do is target it a little. It’s always about some shit that YT already knows i DGAF about

Fuck, I was with them when it was 1x60s ad or 2x30s ads only in the middle of the video. I would grumble at 30s/15m.

I turned off the adblock the other day to pay physics girl some ad-rev, it was fucking unreal. I was trying not to skip, her 8m video tried to give me a 30 second ad, a 5 minute ad, and a mutli-hour ad. Who the fuck would watch that, who the fuck would pay to put a multi-hour ad on an 8m video that nobody is going to watch?

One day the ads will catch up to us, they’ll just embed them in stream and refuse to let you ff/rewind. and at that point, i’ll just go back to record->comskip and store what I want to see on my nas.

looks pretty promising, i see there are a ton of bluetooth remotes on Amazon that are simple media on one side and keyboard on the back. I might have to screw with that on an android and see If I can cobble together a launcher that’s media friendly

I TOTALLY feel you. I’ve wanted a good media remote for ages. seems like a project to repurpose a bluetooth remote to control a phone would be medium low difficulty

I’m genX, but now that you mention it, My kids refuse to watch anything not on a tablet or phone, so there’s that…

My brother in law had one, it was very pretty

HDMI + A presentation mouse and bluetooth keyboard on an old Pixel?

yeah, i don’t have any desire to update my TV as long as I can plug in HDMI and get a picture and sound

Plasma burn-in is scary for games.

yeah, we’ll be working on grapheneOS tv boxes in a years time.

Wait till they start paying netflix to relay data for them :)

Ohh it’s not wrongdoing and when we refuse to buy anything from them, they’re getting what they gave.

It’s true, but we’re such assholes that we need lawsuits to keep us from devolving into apes.

A many-month-long refactor on code you’ve already written is less than fun. While I don’t love seeing a project I’m using being 80% replaced by Claude code, I’ve had Claude code look at some of my old projects and find underlying issues I was able to verify, and then suggested a more best-practice approach that I wasn’t even aware of. The real question is, was the claude output better than the original code? If it is and it has unit tests and many eyes on it, it’s quite possible that it’s better off now.

I’ll sit on my current versions for a few months and let everyone else test it out :)

I’m rather a fan of letting it do stupid, repetitive shit. I need you to create 30 linux accounts the other day from a screen shot. Then store, initial keys and creds in my password manager platform.

Hey, Claude, write me a bash script to do this from this image. and also use best practice for removing non-standard characters from login names.

I review the loop and the general state of the OCR and let it go.

I don’t actually buy it. It won’t fit on memory modules as they are today, but in the end, it’s just faster, higher density, prob has some extra features, but nothing you can’t rework a motherboard or modules to support. of course, min quantity will be like 128GB :)

edit: looks like the most likely they’ll just put stacks on the CPUs in a few years. Apple is already heading that way. AMD has some open patents to put HBM on CPUs

They could, but you’ll likely be the last one to go. Those kids will likely kill each other without supervision, and the third time they have to drive little Jimmy to school because the bus AI didn’t wait 30 seconds, they’ll be so far up the administration’s ass. They’ll know what they had for breakfast.

If the banks don’t see the value in it, it’s only a matter of time

Anyone who lets AI do this is absolutely inept, lazy, or deserving.

In its default configuration, it stops at EVERY STEP. Do you want to run this command, do you want to update this file, here’s the file I want to modify and the patch i’m going to use with adds and deletes in green and red.

If you’re using it in unsafe permissions mode, click yeah sure allow Claude to run whatever the fuck it wants in this directory, or just hitting yeah sure go ahead every time, it’s your own damn fault.

It’s self-driving for the terminal. Don’t you dare take your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.

WAYYYYLANDDDDDD SHAKES FIST IN AUTOHOTKEY
