I don’t know much about GTA, but I have a hard time imagining GTA6 being anything less than a gigantic success. It doesn’t need to be a massive improvement over GTA5, it just needs to be a noticeable upgrade. The only way I can see it failing is if they get too greedy with their live service model, but even then it’s still probably going to sell like 40 million copies in its first year.

Vroom Vroom by Charli XCX. Let’s ride

Good choice

So you’re saying instead of tacking “site:reddit.com” onto my Google search, I can now use ChatGPT to get the same information, except without the original context, and it will often be wrong? Amazing!

And this also means that companies will fill Reddit with fake comments promoting their brand to ensure that their brand gets mentioned in ChatGPT responses, right? Can’t wait!

Every time I do a coding test, I always overlook certain optimizations because I’m too stressed to think clearly. After the interview is done, I quickly realize what I did wrong. When this happens, I send a follow-up email where I tell the hiring manager that i made a mistake, and I provide my corrected code or explain what I should have done differently. I’ve landed two different jobs before by doing this. (One was a live coding test and the other was a take-home test.) So don’t be afraid to follow up with corrections, even if the deadline for the take-home test has passed.

I just recently saw Triangle. Definitely an under-appreciated movie. That one shot after she chases the girl to the top of the ship is S tier horror. Great ending too.

I think tech reviewers are really naive for thinking that Apple Vision Pro is the future of computing just because it was made by Apple. Nobody wants to use their computer or watch movies in VR, except for in niche situations. My prediction is that users will quickly realize that they don’t actually have any use for the Apple Vision Pro, and the product line will be discontinued.

I consider Gorillaz to be mainstream. Or at least Demon Days was mainstream.

I don’t really understand what the author is complaining about. Spotify Wrapped is just a fun thing that shows you your music listening stats. The data is all very obvious and not invasive at all. Is the author arguing that it should be discontinued? Or is he saying it should change in some way?

They could add some kind of warning message that notifies you when the URL has unicode in it. Then the user can decide if they want to disable the warning or not.

Honestly I think this has less to do with changes on X, and more to do with the rise of TikTok. More and more people are choosing TikTok as their go-to social media/entertainment app. I know at least one person who used to spend a lot of time on Twitter, but now he spends less time on it since he got into TikTok.

I think it will happen. Multiplayer video games already match people with bots that are presented as if they were human players, and 99.9% of players don’t care. As long as a game makes you feel like you’re playing against other humans, most people consider that good enough. Similarly, as long as a bot on Instagram or Twitter feels human enough to be enjoyable to interact with, users won’t care that they aren’t actually human.

As someone who hasn’t worked on open source projects, can someone please explain what this means? I know what ActivityPub is and I know what Git pull requests are, but I don’t understand what they have to do with each other. Is the idea that this lets you view GitLab pull requests from outside of the GitLab website?

Sounds kinda cool but I can’t think of any situations where I would want to use it.

Jet Lag is so good. I’m happy to support the show

I just use Nebula to watch Jet Lag. I haven’t watched anything else on it

This article is talking about teachers who quit in 2021, which was during the pandemic. But the article doesn’t mention the impacts of the pandemic at all. Seems like they’re leaving out a lot of important context.

I see what you mean. In a way, lifestyle and fashion choices are already partially governed by AI, in the sense that Instagram and TikTok recommendation algorithms influence what the user perceives as being trendy. I don’t know if we’ll get to the point where people are literally letting an AI tell them what to do, but I think AI will only get more and more influential in our lives in subtle ways.

I got excited for a second cuz I thought this was going to be like Street Pass on 3DS. Someone should make an app that does that.
