Is there a more terrifying question to be asked than “Do you know what you said in your sleep?” I don’t think so.

I got a new car yesterday to try to get ahead of tariffs. The dealership said MSRP on this model is going up by $7k next week.
Was just listening to the Weezer Velouria cover and my god look at this. What a document. @eve6.bsky.social in the lead off spot. The GUK Alec Eiffel rules too. Far, Braid, Super Drag, Promise Ring, Local H, Samiam, Weston, Sense Field. We used to be a proper music scene.
Has anyone else had a primarily negative experience with Cursor? I’m trying to use it “right” but find myself getting mad that it can’t fix a test or render something correctly. Rather than figure out how to solve a problem I just send increasingly frustrated prompts and getting “Ah, you’re right!…”
Did you know that when you see “.DS_Store” in a gitlab repository, the DS actually stands for “Data Scientist”?
I can’t wait to see the details about how much the ambient music artists are getting paid per stream via Control Center. Surely they wouldn’t do something as crazy as purchasing rights to music used in this feature. www.macrumors.com/2025/02/21/i...
iOS 18.4 Adds New Ambient Music Feature

The Instagram algorithm has determined that I want to see 100 clips of Family Feud every day and you know what? It’s right.
For like 30 years, IDEs have been incredibly useful for doing things like parsing the syntax tree and helping with imports, tab-completion, showing you the available class methods and their arguments. Now this has all been replaced by an AI _guessing_ and getting it right 80% of the time.
Any efficiency gained by AI coding apps like Cursor are immediately lost to all of the developers spending their time fiddling around with different models to find out the idiosyncrasies of each. And, of course, finding all the bugs.
@caseynewton.bsky.social I really enjoyed the Spotify segment. Every time Spotify royalties come up (like every Wrapped) I recall this post from 3yrs ago. Such an incredible summary of Spotify's place in the music industry. An enjoyable read! www.facebook.com/100003786380...

This is probably a bad idea. Okay. I’m going to say my piece about Spotify. I realize that some people won’t like what I have to say, so here goes nothing. Spotify and streaming are not the...

Watching the show Silicon Valley hits different in 2024 than it did in 2014.
I just got an email with a terms of service update for my frying pan. What are we doing?
An interesting thing about platform engineering is that you have to care more about your coworkers' code and projects being successful than your own.

A super fun recsys side effect: presidential accounts on Instagram. Lots of my friends were confused why they were suddenly following the new VP. I got him as a recommended follow. I'm guessing most people found one of these two things. Here's my guess as to why:
Working from home, winter 2025 edition: Change from your work pajamas to your run-a-quick-errand pajamas.
This is cover is indescribably good despite the audio and video being atrocious. Look at that drummer at the end. Perfect band covering their perfect song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJdc...

I'll argue that 2010 was as good for indie music as 1994 was for grunge and R&B. open.spotify.com/playlist/37i...

I finally started fiddling around with running local LLMs and the both the copyright issues and hallucinations around GenAI seem even crazier when the chat never leaves my own computer.
I am once again asking what folks use for RSS readers. I tried Reeder and don't like it. Requirements: * Unread article count/indicator (not in Reeder!?) * Folders for feeds * Web interface * Mobile app OR a good mobile-optimized website * I'm willing to pay, but need a free trial.
There’s a debate around whether hole in one’s count on par 3 courses, but how about winter greens? #golf
A fun #recsys hiccup. When a term like "Luigi" becomes popular in a new domain (not Nintendo or workflow orchestration), youtube can't stop it from leaking into the recommendations while watching a video from Spotify's Backstage.
