the keyboard warriors?

In a world with stupid AGI and unmanned drones, the keyboard may be mightier than the sword (or gun etc.)

Unironically yes. They were promised a seat in the ruling class. All they got was crippling debt. That’s how you incubate dissidents.

> They were promised a seat in the ruling class.

Where was this promise given? I am not aware of such a promise. :-(

Addendum: I am really surprises that you claim such a promise existed, since a seat in the ruling class requires a very different training and different qualifications (even completely ignoring "soft entry barriers" like habits).

I had to reinstall win98 so many times I still remember the pirate key k4hvdq9tj96crx9c9g68rq2d3 by heart

good times :)

I guess I was more of the FCKGW generation. :)

IIRC with Windows 98 you could just use any product key you had on as many machines as you wanted since there was no activation or real phoning home capabilities. So most likely your whole friend group would be using the same serial that was copied off your uncle's old gateway.

Ah, FuCK Gates, William.

I think there were at least three other commonly used codes, but this one was by far the most popular.

I'm pretty sure 000-0000000 worked (at least on windows 95)

FuCKinG Windows

Sounds like hard work. Didn't 11111-1111111 work?

special operation

All this is also a great argument for just not making browsers capable of conveying this kind of information in the first place…

Some might argue that it allows for better web apps, but the delta between how much better in can make web apps and how much poorer it can make the overall web experience is too great to be worth it, and that's before one gets into the privacy implications of browsers being so eager to share all these little nuggets of info.

> use firefox, install uBlock Origin

This is the only correct answer. The second firefox is actually no longer viable, I guarantee you chrome is going to rapidly go closed source or require software attestation to prevent modification (not sure what the analogous plan for Safari will be, but it won’t be good).

The passkey stuff is a step in this direction.

Passkeys work with Firefox.

So does DRM. In the long run, web sites will end up requiring measured boot to use passkeys, and also require passkeys. This is already common practice with android (to prevent third party ROMs from working).

Seems like something a plugin could solve.

Not sure it can with the v3 changes.

Wow, I wonder what I would say if I had no choice but to accept dying

Maybe just one word F

Makes me think of that infinite improbability drive scene 2005, these people reach the end of their maze, life path

> you never gonna even be good at flipping burgers

i promise you this is not true

understand the chemistry of fats an denaturing of proteins, understand myoglobin; it is not much different than understanding anything.

nothing stops you from trying to make the best burgers in the world

be curious, ignorant and kind

I know because I just got laid off from McDonald's. It's very hard: stress, speed, precision, noise.

You are competing with people 20 years younger. It's like watching professional athletes vs school soccer

sorry man i cant even imagine what you are going through i didnt mean to be condescending or anything, i just truly believe that people are amazing

to be amazing however requires food and roof and a bit of luck

i honestly dont know what i would do without a job, its hard to break into trades i hear, and also seems to be hard in mcdonalds

i will probably start a tool and die shop or something, or a burger joint, smash burgers only (those the only ones i love to make)

You must have a lot of capital already if those are realistic options for you.

You are talking about being a professional chef, not a fast food employee.

haha

github for agent code is dropbox final_final2.zip

honestly i am amazed that it can do that, but I wish they use it to rewrite the claude code cli.

i had to killall -9 claude 3 times yesterday

They are already writing Claude with Claude - I think they said 90% of their code is written with Claude.

yes, they must be killing it hundreds of times per day, maybe its time for 'please rewrite opencode, but dont touch anything, you can only use `cp`' kind of prompt

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJlN9jdQFSc

Awesome song. Gives me chills. Wish I believed in a just God like that.

you are made either of reason or of faith, but the choice what you are made of you can not make nor with reason nor with faith

reason can not choose reason, and faith can not choose faith

First slowly then all at once. [1]

That looks demonstrative! For those that don't want to click, from Aug to Feb S&P is up 10%. "Software - Applications" is down 21%.

But in this context, is Uber[9% weight, down ~4% YTD] a transportation company that roles it's own software for competitive advantage? I think other's in the composition are similar. The takeaway is maybe that the tech landscape is changing or LLMs have spooked investors and they're running without direction. But that doesn't necessarily speak to bespoke software uptake (already) cutting into profits(?) Uber would be fine in that case?
