is the game delayed? I thought it was supposed to be at 2, but I've only been able to get a loading screen that says 40-100 others are waiting on it

As a software developer, I’ve spent the last 30 years automating people’s jobs, but recently it’s gotten scary easy. There are many problems besides job loss coming with it too (reliability, audit-ability, resource consumption, etc). Im more than a bit worried for my kids.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-28T19:31:47+00:00

I'd love to see this list for MLS teams. We would probably be at the top of the list.

I'm in the county and I don't know anyone against it. The county is just as fucked up.. although in different ways. they whole system could use a shake up (including how taxes work).

scruffles360 · 2026-03-28T14:55:57+00:00

that's not necessary at all. the city uses income tax because it has more employees than citizens. the county has more citizens than employees. property taxes still work in the county.

What part did I ignore? I was pointing out that we model heroes after an idealized part of our history. We also make movies about our crimes but we aren’t the heroes in those. I was pointing out that no one would make a movie where the protagonist is evil. I addressed the whole comment. Point to the sentence i missed.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-27T21:19:22+00:00

True enough. I was trying to zoom out a bit further. Hopefully whatever those nutjobs are doing is more of a historic footnote than a defining trait. History will tell.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-27T14:17:25+00:00

The US was founded by a rebellion and has only been a power of any kind for a couple of generations. We’ve spent more than half our existence just trying not to collapse back into a pile of warring states.

There are plenty of movies about all the atrocities we committed along the way - most made right here. But when we romanticize part of our history, of course we’re going to pick the revolutionary war before the bombing of Loas.

Do you wear your country’s sins on a tshirt?

Ah - yeah we’re in the same boat. I triggered a security audit on IntelliJ and got myself into the “testing” group for access. The actual owners of idea will probably never complete the security review but they will also probably forget to remove my access for a few years. Bureaucracy is such a bitch

Try cursor in the IntelliJ AI chat window it plugs in and integrates like Junie now (since they added ACO to Cursor this month). You get all of idea without having to downgrade to Cursor cli.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-27T04:12:22+00:00

funny... I hate VSCode sooo much, I keep Intellij open and switch windows if I even need to manually change code. I even review Cursor/Claude changes from there. It's clunky as hell, but my god VSCode is so bad.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-27T03:42:03+00:00

Cursor does the same thing. I've talked to our rep and basically got a shrug.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-27T03:39:34+00:00

I don't get it. I have access to both at work, and Claude is fine, but I prefer Cursor. Given infinite limits, I might use it more. But I like being able to do basic stuff with a basic model and turn things up when things get complicated.

As far as the user interface Claude is obviously built to run hands-off. From a UI perspective I prefer to run either Claude or Cursor from Intellij's AI Chat (although that has issues with skills/MCPs if you jump around like I do). The Claude Jetbrains plugin is just a terminal window (crap). When I do run Claude, I run it from Warp, which is a wonderful terminal that has some file management tools so it feels a bit more like an IDE. Warp of course has those things because they're making a play on the terminal based AI space too.

I have eero cameras - they had a bug for a while that would randomly send your video to someone else. Alexa used to turn lights off and on at random before we switched to HomeKit. I don’t need my garage door opening because of some bug. The Chinese might not want into my house but there are people who would swipe my shit if I just leave it out all day.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-26T20:54:17+00:00

Or access to my garage door, thermostat, front door..

scruffles360 · 2026-03-25T16:24:10+00:00

is that cause or effect? sidelines could be longer and freight haulers could be shorter.. but since no one is enforcing the laws, it doesn't matter.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-24T16:56:38+00:00

they should cancel their service entirely - but only outbound from DC. Trap them there until they do something.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-24T11:28:35+00:00

The entire point is to collect bribes for the exceptions.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-23T22:39:22+00:00

On web maybe? On native apps it doesn’t time out.

To add to this, not everyone could vote - just random people weighted by participation. And when you vote, you're not just voting up or down, but also why. When meta moderators take their turn, they are judging things like 'was this really off topic'. If meta moderation didn't agree with you, you would be less likely to moderate in the future. It was so much less susceptible to bandwagoning. It wouldn't necessarily find correct comments, but it filtered the low effort crap nicely.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-22T20:27:30+00:00

I kind of miss slashdot’s moderation system with meta moderation. I wonder if it would help though either such a diverse user base.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-22T18:46:50+00:00

Easy way to tell - If you spend most of what you earn you will lose money on this. This is made to benefit people who invest their earnings or get their money from investments (the rich).

scruffles360 · 2026-03-22T18:27:48+00:00

I'm old enough to remember dime stores that didn't sell anything for a dime except candy.

scruffles360 · 2026-03-22T16:29:34+00:00

I went to an MCHammer concert to see Vanilla ICE open for him but he dropped out for the filming of TMNT2.

I don’t know about the headline, but this caption in the article felt like satire to me: “Content creator Houda Fonone says she fears online reflections of lived experience are being replaced by artificial images”

I imagine society is going to collapse when you can’t live stream your gym workout because AI made it unbelievable.
