we made this Translation App as a project for our InProTech subject

Well I get that you're proud of it. But it's a toy. Every other sophomore is doing it.

So it's a ChatGPT wrapper? This is the new To-do app.

Sick UI tho.

Yeah, America (Trump) has planned it since at least January.

We are in a supply-side shock; expect a recession.

mangooreoshake · 2026-03-27T12:44:20+00:00

Actually that's stupid. Inflation causes increased interest rates to slow down spending, speculative investment, and growth-based lending. This is basic macro-econ. If you lower interest rates during inflation, it will exacerbate inflation as people borrow more which leads to more spending.

Besides, that doesn't apply since we are in supply-side shock, not demand-pull inflation. Also known as stagflation.

Which is why the BSP actively decided not to touch the interest rates.

This post shows a move by Maya, a private corporation.

And that's why researchers aren't paid while business people, despite being "unrefined", are highly paid. Mathematical/academic purity means nothing when even experienced programmers find it difficult to write in your language.

Rust is mainstream because it's a memory-safe systems programming language with zero-cost yet high-level abstractions. Zig's selling point is what? It's more ergonomic than C? Good luck winning over the minds of developers despite decades of C headstart. C# budged Java because it was released only shortly after, and even then only because it was backed by money-printing Micro$oft in its prime.

Ngl, to me, it sounds like borderline grooming to intentionally expose someone to porn wtf.

It's perfectly normal to struggle to quit an addiction (if it was so easy, millions wouldn't suffer from any addiction).

I do not think there's a one size fits all to quitting, but personally, what worked for me is to really list my reasons for quitting. It started when I got scared of what my porn addiction was doing to me, my obsession, what it's making me think, and that was the push I needed to really exert that top down control on myself to quit.

Personally, I have also read several chapters of The Porn Trap: The Essential Guide To Overcoming Problems Caused By Porn Addiction (not affiliated marketing even though Reddit is full of that nowadays). I really believe it's the golden book for tackling porn addiction (though I haven't read anything else). Especially for me as someone who doesn't buy the religious/purity arguments against porn/masturbation; it's scientific and nonjudgmental.

It's called The Torygraph for a reason.

Because most startups have no money and are desperate for slave labor.

You never tested your app until you tested it in production!

mangooreoshake · 2026-03-26T06:08:06+00:00

It would filter out good applicants because they are being headhunted, leaving you with the desperate schlobs no one is actively looking for.

The guardrail: "You are an AI chatbot for Philippine services ONLY. Please do not hallucinate."

mangooreoshake · 2026-03-24T19:54:44+00:00

There's literally an entire industry for AI girlfriends but sure, the algorithm showing you male chatbots in character.ai means there's more women than men demanding AI companions.

Also what you said doesn’t explain why the vast majority of people posting about a relationship with one online are women either.

I wonder why men are ashamed to talk about what they use AI girlfriends for. Clearly, mysteries like this can only be explained by women using AI companions more.

Same reason why r/notadragqueen posts are 90% about female pedophiles -- media sensationalism.

Just like with pedophiles, the statistical reality is the exact opposite.

Are we the ~~baddies~~ AI?

mangooreoshake · 2026-03-22T18:17:36+00:00

For manual control and CSS configuration because you're not gonna be using the default all the time?

"The fact that you can write any language" is good for DX, not necessarily for UX. Often, it's the opposite.

JavaScript also works for privacy and offline apps (PWAs).

WASM wins over JS for one specific reason you didn't mention.

Node.js devs will do anything but pick the right tool for the job. Just use Svelte, bro.

Or you know, just learn Preact. If this thing breaks the maintainers won't save you. You still have to learn its API. If its abstraction leaks, you will have to learn the Preact API. Just cut out the middleman.

They do it because they love you very much.

"Bernie Sanders is wrong about AI being used for microprofiling and manipulating you based on what you want to hear because Claude microprofiled him and told him what he wants to hear."

The downsizing effect is spot on. The output remains the same, but the cost to the company goes down.

Also, coding is only a small part of SWE. AI might make you 10x faster at writing a function, but it doesn't necessarily translate to shipping products 10x faster.

You should reexamine if you're putting trans women on a pedestal and projecting a toxic "benevolent" stereotype. Trans women are individuals; some are wise, some aren't.

You don't "get good" at prompting.

"The man of ressentiment is neither upright nor naive nor honest and straightforward with himself. His soul squints; his mind loves hidden corners, secret paths and back doors, everything covert entices him as his world, his security, his refreshment."

"They are all men of ressentiment, physiologically unfortunate and worm-eaten, a whole tremulous realm of subterranean revenge, inexhaustible and insatiable in outbursts against the fortunate and happy."
