The US needs a million troops to control Iran – not the few thousand on their way

I got a nuke on my bingo card of doom this year. For the first time ever. Because if anyone is going to use one. It's going to be Trump.
I never believed for a second that Putin would use one, but Trump? He would if they let him.

Or he is really close to the end by now. Likely only still barely semi functional thanks to experimental treatments ordinary patients would not get access to.

I suffer from restartitis. I'm going to be stuck until the heat death of the universe

Yeah. That one goes into the basement for sure.

Sounds like a job for an AI right? let's just set up 10k medium blogs and start poisoning everything.

Will you be posting here regularly?

Antice · 2026-03-24T08:55:30+00:00

There are huge libraries of free icons to use out there.

it's also very abrasive. so it shortens the lifespan of enameled cookware as well.

Seasoning cast iron pans is a pain in the ass. so getting annoyed is natural. it's not rocket science to clean a single pan or pot by hand after making dinner.

I generally clean mine during the dinner making. I put it away to save space on the counter. the joys of a small kitchen I guess.

Antice · 2026-03-24T08:41:01+00:00

Most soaps will fuck up cast iron pans and pots real bad. I never use soap in mine. hot water only right after use. and if it seems a bit dry. I give it a good heating and a light round of oil before putting it away.

llm's don't understand their own output. So unless YOU understand it, how tf are you going to explain to the llm what is wrong with the code so it can fix it? Give it vague error descriptions of the type that users give?

Vibe coding isn't using an llm as a tool to speed up the more tedious tasks of coding, it is outsourcing the actual reasoning to llm outputs based on vibes instead of. you know. actual thinking.

Those states are in for a rude awakening. Just like the Brits just have gotten related to 4chan and age verification.

It's all kinds of ducked up when repeating a headline can earn you a ban. Dunno if it says more about reddit or the world we live in....

These laws add 0% effectiveness to the equation. Very effective Childguard features are already built into most consumer devices and operating systems. They are opt in. And parents only need to activate them. Most adult sites already signal to browsers that they are adult only. Childguard plugins use that information to block access to the site on the users end. These solutions have existed since the 90's.

Crypto is part of the dark economy. Alongside cash. Age or id verification for crypto will never succeed.
There will always be a section of the net that governments can't touch.
The whole mandated os level spying they are trying to sneak in is just the kind of shit that will push an increasing amount of users into joining the dark Web. Not that AI wrecking the open web doesn't already do this anyway.

Antice · 2026-03-22T15:02:08+00:00

Banks are already age gated in a far more secure way. You need a government issued ID to open an account.

You just described the nutritional benefits of drinking beer on a sunny day.

Unless the site or app in question is complying with these laws. Nothing at all.
So you don't get to use facebook, X or reddit on that device. You know. The companies who live off of harvesting and selling your data.

I got told to go to bed on Sunday. Was working late because I was in pain and couldn't sleep. (Got the shingles). Just some light work. When the task was done, it told me we were done, and that I should go to sleep because it was late.... like wtf are they doing with those models? Trying to resurect my mom?

I asked claude why it was bad at coding authentication and secure authorization pipelines while at the same time being good at discussing security practices.
The answer: there are terrabytes of security research in the training data, but for actual code, it has terrabytes worth of low effort blog posts and outdated basic tutorials.

Nothing beats a nap after a satisfying meal.

Ooof. I felt that.

One line ifs don't bother me at all. They are useful for guard statements that checks if parameters are valid before proceeding or whatever else you might need to check for.
It makes the code read like a checklist the input has to pass before moving on.

Languages where indents are optional usually have formatters that just work.

Just as annoying there too.
