CYCLOPS: So after measuring my biacromial width and my midface ratio, it suddenly struck me: I have the MOST symmetrical face, totally mogging all two-eyes. ODYSSEUS [THROWING A SPEAR THROUGH CYCLOPS' EYE]: Say hi to Poseidon for me, bitch

I don't care if people use AI to make interesting projects, but I'm begging everyone to please give it some design direction. You might have made something really great, but you're hurting yourself by allowing it to look identical to every dumb piece of slop being barfed out by an LLM.

The Listening Museum: “36 mechanical keyboards and switches, curated and sound-mapped. From IBM Model M (1985) to Topre to thocky modern customs. Click any card, type on your real keyboard, hear it as if it were on your desk.” [sheets.works]

Ah yes, wish-granting, that thing which we all know from centuries of cautionary tales, always comes at zero cost to the person making the wish.

“What we need to explain to the world: Number one, we are close to creating a genie that can grant any wish. Number two, we are going to make sure that our first wishes broadly benefit humanity” - Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI — This is definitely the opposite of Anthropic’s AI kills all jobs pitch.

My brain simply does not work in the way that would allow me to just barf words at the computer and expect an effective result. Even typing is questionable. If I could, I’d hire an editor to improve my rambling posts.

saw someone saying "no one wants to talk to their computer" about some updates making voice interfacing with claude easier and i think that's probably true for most of us on the we-love-typing-and-reading apps but leaves out the approximately, what, 6 billion people who think that shit is for nerds

Time to complete the annual workplace harassment training, which should take about 40 minutes, or if you inspect the page and locate the hidden speed control menu, 20 minutes.

It’s funny how she didn’t like the way he translated this ancient oral epic into a cohesive work for a different medium in a way that would appeal to modern audiences.

that odyssey review was pretty funny but also kind of like if wes anderson did the iliad and someone went long on how everything looks like a diorama and the characters have a flat affect and there's a general named "Gen. Greek Tragedy" and like yes i understand that is a wes anderson movie correct

I wasn’t born until well after the bicentennial but there was evidence of it everywhere. Half the gymnasiums in this country were painted with Stars and Stripes until 1990.

It is amazing that the 250th anniversary of America was pretty much just not a thing. You could tell all the companies thought it would be, they had 250th ketchup and ice cream and energy drinks but all we got was a shit ass fair that no one went to

The biggest problem with passkeys is that many sites just use them wrong, like as a second factor instead of a password replacement. Google actually does it right, then fucks it up by doing whatever they can to not let you use it, like telling you to authenticate with your YouTube app.

They also... don't work very well. Like half the services I use pay nice with passkeys and others, like ALL OF GOOGLE, have their own dips hit way of doing it that means I'm switching login modalities and falling back to Shit That Works half the time.

Tip for anybody who hasn’t seen the Odyssey yet: Seems like there were fewer ads/trailers before it than usual, probably to squeeze an extra showing in each theater. Lots of people were filtering in after it had started.
