but you can make good code with it! and a hell of a lot faster than it used to take

yeah, as of yet it's not a "make good code" magic button - it makes things that ~mostly work and kinda look right on the first try - if you're not checking its work, it produces badly designed code every time IME (excuse me, I must go clean the 5k lines of css it generated for a side project 😅)

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Retire in peace

McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

That's a fair criticism. I launched a nuclear strike when I should have advocated for peace. In fairness, disarmament has many meanings, but I should have clarified rather than assumed.

definitely how I intend to build things from now on whenever I have the luxury of putting everything I've got into the stable core (i.e. can release it when I think it's ready, rather than ASAP). LLM output is so. much. better. when the base it's building on is well made and _easy to understand_

There's an edit of one of my comics going around that expresses political views that I do not support. Fortunately, there have been people responding to this edit by mentioning how it's contradictory to the themes and messages of my comics. Thank you so much for having my back. Black Lives Matter.

Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

this whole post is 🔥but this bit is just perfect

quote pulled from article: "Not for everyone, though. There has always been a group of people who refused to acknowledge that other people have perfectly valid reasons for wanting to pursue their own goals rather than yours. We call most of those people "toddlers" and devote sizable social effort to helping them outgrow this belief."

A cream colored shirt with a red and blue design featuring 9 crustaceans and a fly. A scuba diving Fly Says a”am I shrimp too?” A pistol shrimp wearing a cowboy hat says “bang bang” a mantis shrimp says KO, the title says a”shrimp city and friends” a hermit crab uses a skull
As a shell, a jumbo shrimp is labeled himbo shrimp, and a yeti crab is labeled “snack bacteria cafe”. The fly has an asterisk next to
Him and underneath the whole design it says *the latest research shows that bugs is actually shrimp”

Have we come up with a term yet for "random internet stranger responds to a shitpost with the least charitable reading of the original?" It's like "shitpost" but it's a "shit-on-your-shitpost". I dunno - I feel like the germans have a word for this interaction (that certainly predates the internet)
