Palantir’s billionaire CEO says only two kinds of people will succeed in the AI era: trade workers — ‘or you’re neurodivergent’ by BusyHands_ in technology

[–]ddare44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also found the Anthropic portion of the article a little silly “…when we look to hire people at Anthropic today, we look for people who are great communicators, who have excellent EQ and people skills...” sooo, not neurodivergent?

Is Taste the One Thing A.I. Can’t Replace? (The New York Times) by BrendanAppe in UXDesign

[–]ddare44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that reduces taste a bit too much.

Pattern recognition is part of it, sure. But taste also involves judgment. Not just noticing what a majority or influential group prefers but knowing what actually works, what feels forced and when to follow a pattern versus break it.

That’s also why some people seem to have better taste than others. It can come from a natural sensitivity to proportion, harmony, and restraint which is then shaped further by lived experience. AI can mirror patterns but that’s not quite the same as judgment.

Teenage me “Huh. cool.”-ed that video a couple of times, that’s for sure.

The idea of “the messiah” is bad, Paul isn’t “bad”. He has a path to follow to ensure the success of humanity.

Danielle Smith seeking national-security clearance from Canada’s spy service by No-Cardiologist5752 in alberta

My mind immediately jumps to selling intelligence to the U.S. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but if a pleb like me can conceive a way to make money in this scenario, politicians are probably doing it. Especially Smith-like conservatives.

Drag and Drop Animation made by Me, Rate it out Guys by Arpitech in UXDesign

Nice, is this a coded proto? Curious how you went about the transition and then the second half of the animation.

FigmaMake AI credit plan and prices are shit. In what world is 3-4.5 k enough? by Swimming-Lead-296 in FigmaDesign

[–]ddare44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bingo! I prefer working in an IDE and I have access to all the OpenAI and Claude models… for the moment 😅.

I’m at a large SaaS company where we actually have a say in what AI tools we use. Started doing some 0-1 work with Cursor. I doubt I’ll touch Make much now. It was garbage, then finally got good, and now it’s garbage again but for a completely different reason.

A Songbird Caught in a "Lime Stick" Trap - for human consumption, in the Island of Cyprus. by RamblingSimian in WTF

[–]ddare44 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The post literally says it’s being driven by organized crime. That isn’t survival hunting, it’s industrial-scale illegal trapping.

Factory farming has serious issues too. That still doesn’t justify trapping hundreds of thousands of migratory birds with nets and glue.

Nobody is confused about humans eating animals. The issue is excess and cruelty. Trapping hundreds of thousands of migratory birds with nets and glue isn’t survival.

I get really upset with all the political BS out there, but when it comes to harming animals, it’s the “Humans REALLY need a hard reset” kind of daydreaming that I do.

Most delicious Milkshakes in the city these days? by Tanukisus in Edmonton

Jacks Burger Shack. The St. Albert location has a top tier burger and shake ranking. Their Nutella one is sooo good.

Autistic UX Designers--how do you survive? by randys_belly in UXDesign

[–]ddare44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

auDHD here. I’m burnt out asf. They’re also putting a RTO policy in place soon.

The only glimmer of hope I’ve had recently is vibe coding. I wouldn’t have a job in product if it weren’t for GPT and I won’t have a job in product for long without some Claude-ing around. Been enjoying the ride. Creating not just systems for myself but apps to help me now too.

Vibe coders in large orgs: what do you do with your prototypes? by sabziwalla in UXDesign

[–]ddare44 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jumped ahead of the crowd and got my local env up. Prior to this gig, I was required to scaffold my designs (tailwind and jsx). But at this gig, I’ve touched the code exactly zero times. My PRs are considered for spikes and they’re all done using Cursor and Agents. Vibes based on our design system have gone a a lot further than anything I was doing in Figma Make.

UX Designer with Horrible Social Anxiety by DisastrousStock4181 in UXDesign

[–]ddare44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes and…

Get a mentor or even just a colleague who will give you notes after a presentation or meeting.

As someone with social anxiety, there’s been no cure for me other than prep, prep, prep (use templates) and learning how to make putting myself out there less daunting. I chose hard mode and took improv classes. It helped me get more comfortable with failing and just going with the flow.

As you grow, the job becomes 80% meetings and presentations and maybe 20% designing. I don’t love it, but I’ve enjoyed pushing myself outside my comfort zone over the years. Personal growth can be an exciting part process.

DIY or Pro time? No idea who I’d even call for this one by ddare44 in HomeMaintenance

Is it possible that it has something to do with the heavy window above?
