Guys I watched Barry Lyndon last week and I can't stop thinking about it. Someone please tell me fun facts or hot takes on it. I didn't know anything about it going in but I didn't expect it to be so funny. Felt like it inspired Wes Anderson. https://youtu.be/Ad_WS6h6NJw?si=VMwBsbVi2qpNF6sr

The year is 2030. I’m an unemployed software engineer hawking my bespoke, hand-coded, deterministic UIs at the farmer’s market which people buy so they can say they support local artists. https://x.com/_DanielSinclair/status/1935748071398269002

This could be us but we’re both seeking riches behind screens before the singularity.

Package secured. Shoutout to @chsh.eth who designed them, as well as many other visuals here at Farcon. How do I publicly tip him inside this cast with a button for people to copy the action? Someone please build.

I am fascinated by how bad I am at predicting which of my posts will do (relatively) well.

Guy talking to himself on the subway: “I can’t watch a movie or read a book. I’ve got no attention span. I like those short clips. Once AI goes Quantum, it’s game over. Black hole. Put your head between your knees and kiss your ass good bye. The cat in the box isn’t dead or alive. Shit will go exponential. You know what computers hate? Rust. You know what causes rust? Oxygen. AI takes over? Boom. No more oxygen. It doesn’t want to kill us. We don’t want to kill ants. But we’ll kill a whole colony on accident and not care. They’re so small, just like we are to AI.”

Cursor has made some UX updates that are really good, but at the same time the output has gotten much worse. Keep getting slop that sounds just good enough for me to waste time trying to understand. Lately I've been shunning my robot friends and rubber ducking the old fashioned ways, and wow it feels good.

I watched Gattaca for the first time yesterday and really enjoyed it. I have been really excited for faster DNA sequencing and engineering possibilities, but now I'm wondering how do we avoid creating the world of Gattaca?

Why do I have to submit a request to use more than 0 CPUs with my personal AWS account and wait for someone to approve it? Pls just take my money and give me compute.
