In Soviet Russia, nature desecrate you.

I hope you find what you’re looking for here in Canada, welcome! Housing crisis is in full swing here as well but some provinces have it worst than others so do careful about that.

That’s so much fun! Even though some of those works use cutting edge browser features, their free spirited mindset brings me right back to the primordial web.

HGModernism has a video about “lying” LLMs which is interesting. Basically an LLM is calibrated to find the shortest route to a an answer. It has no conception of obedience. Say you tell the LLM to use your script to solve a problem. Say the LLM will spend more energy figuring out and using your script than whipping up its own one. The LLM will therefore pretend your script is broken, generously make a new one and use that instead.

No problem, have a good one!

No, Sora is over as an app and API. An OpenAI spokesperson has said:

We’ve decided to discontinue Sora in the consumer app and API. […] As we focus and compute demand grows, the Sora research team continues to focus on world simulation research to advance robotics that will help people solve real-world, physical tasks.

Personnally I’d argue that there is no hard limit to the size of a community and to the number of communities a single person belongs to. Neighborhoods can have community gardens and kitchens, hobby farmers can share their crops with family, etc. At the provincial level, I find supply management to be alright for cutting speculation out of the equation and insuring a livelihood to local professional farmers.

less parkings more community gardens

(I hope I’m not bugging you! Disregard if your’re done with this thread.)

About the category column, your approach does violates database normalization in particular that all columns must be atomic. It’s not a sexy topic but it’s how you make the most of a relational database. None of this stuff really matters at small scale but if your site lasts through the years and you end up with numerous posts and categories, getting all posts of a category will perform terribly because the database will be unable to index properly.

Congrats on your progress! You’re learning 100x more then if you adopted a framework right away imo.

Database creation is something you usually only do once.

In an ideal world. In this world you absolutely have to plan how you’ll make your site (and its database schema) evolve while preserving your precious production data. Check out migrations.

Here’s an example of my trick

Be careful with tricks. Your future self prefers boring code to clever code 100% of the time. Way back when, I had made up a whole system for doing aspect oriented programming in JavaScript after reading some book. I was so proud, then after a while I hated myself so much for it. Finally I was so relieved when that monstrosity went offline.

instead of having newpost.php and validate_and_insert_post.php files doing separate jobs, my newpost.php is the page has the form and also receives the form in order to validate and insert into the database

This is a fine pattern don’t worry about it.

single column where categories are manually written in, separated by commas

If I’m understanding well and you have a database field containing a list of comma separated IDs, this is a code smell. Your site won’t catch fire if you don’t fix it, but you’ll limit yourself with the kinds of queries you can make against your relational database. You have a lot to gain by representing many-to-many relationships with a junction table.

Sorry for the lengthy comment, I enjoy talking about “the craft”. Wishing you lots of fun with your project!

And as for all things Windows 11 a tutorial is needed to painstakingly wade through every inch of bullshit.

This is all fine and dandy but the whole article is based on an interview with “Dorian Smiley, co-founder and CTO of AI advisory service Codestrap”. Codestrap is a Palantir service provider, and as you’d expect Smiley is a Palantir shill.

The article hits different considering it’s more or less a world devourer zealot taking a jab at competing world devourers. The reporter is an unsuspecting proxy at best.

Wow, the future is now eh.

Nice advertisement. Classic unavoidable single path of progress bit. I hope NYT charged Anthropic for it at least.

I don’t want to be a party pooper but I can’t help feeling that buying Google’s hardware to avoid Google’s software might not pan out in the long run.

The sad part is that LineageOS, GrapheneOS and basically all Android alternative OS are built on top of the AOSP, which Google controls, and they’re staling updates to twice a year. These stalled updates may include critical security patches or device compatibility support.

Furthermore many android devices prevent users from entering a boot state which lets the owner install the OS of their choice, making everything more complicated.

If you’re up for some reading be sure to check out the Breaking Free report. Hands down the most thorough, easy to read document about the issue imho.

Oh look, a tech bro pivoting from crypto to genAI. He’s shifting grift a little late but whatever.

Where do Neanderthal women be??

I totally get and share your distrust of corporations. I just want to share two points.

Please don’t lose sight that Kaeden Rowland is an actual person, not an ad.

Regarding her gender identity, she has told CNN: “I’m just a trans girl getting her ups […] at a really hard time for trans people to get their ups.”

I’m also wondering how you’re associating USA TikTok’s transfer with Staples Baddie’s success. This isn’t a company nor a creator who particularly aligns with the regime’s propaganda.
