I need tablet mode touchscreen, the only decent thing in Windows
I wanted to use the current Windows logo, but it’s so incredibly stupid, you wouldn’t even recognize it.
This is what happens when a $100 bn profit/year company is too cheap to hire artists:

40·5 months agoThese are the CEOs that are replacing the workforce with AI. I fear for the future of humanity. Everything will be endless slop, with pre-slop era knowledge sold on a black market.

Programming@programming.dev•I just tried vibe coding with Claude
51·6 months agoI’ve just started recently using Claude after being very unimpressed with Copilot, but my current theory is that you should treat everything it writes like a PoC that you found in some obscure github repo. Use it as a reference that you can generate quickly, take out only the good parts, adapt them to your context. It’s harder to delete code than to write it, so it’s easier to just take what you like from its output, rather than try to clean up all the nonsense it generates.
How accurate that is and how useful it is compared to just writing it from scratch varies a lot based on your particular project. You still need a good understanding of the output it produces, otherwise those subtle bugs and low quality adds up. The times it’s the most useful are when it writes a lot of stuff that I would’ve written myself, but I can point to some detail and say “that’s wrong, I’ll write it myself”.

8·1 year agoUnwrap is good for prototyping and trying out stuff fast, but it generally shouldn’t make it past a code review onto main, unless you’re very sure

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•How to browse websites in 2025: 13 simple steps
11·1 year ago- You close the video that started autoplaying
- You try to read the content of the site on 20% of your screen because the rest is padding and headers and useless shit
- You try to understand why your laptop fan has started and your battery is draining at 100% cpu on a text and image on website
- You manage to read something on the website before your battery drops by 30%. You try to figure out if it’s AI generated or not
- You’re hit by a paywall
It’s a funny story because Ford was suspecting them of building a rival car company so he wasn’t doing it entirely out of altruistic pursuits. He wanted to them to get lower profits from their Ford investments. Whenever you think capitalists have reached the peak of greed, they truly innovate.
This only strikes us plebes when we find out about it. It is common knowledge in economist circles:

The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits: a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_doctrine
This has only been recently challenged as a PR attempt to rebrand it into “stakeholder capitalism”
Also, not related but equally horrifying: in macroeconomics there is a target of unemployment of around 5%, aka full employment is to be avoided: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAIRU

41·2 years agoGreat job, the system is broken as fuck anyway. The fact that he used AI to do it is the karmic cherry on top! Ideally, you should be able to run the model on the cloud of the company you’re interviewing for, just as an extra ‘fuck you’.
