I'm so conflicted about it. My main worry is that I go all in and when I'm used to it the prices increase drastically and I can't work without it.

I'm also learning art and I'll never use AI here, so I thought I have less time for hobby programming and I could just use AI for that but then I come back to the concern I mentioned above.Plus I can't proudly share anything I made with it either because I wouldn't have done much of the work at all.

I'm also feeling burnt out about web dev in general and doing the same thing during my free time just feels like more work to my brain. I wish I could find something interesting to do, and if I don't I'll quit programming in free time for good.


yeah the models are great and all but will they continue to be great? anthropic has some real miserable looking finances, and as a counter example, googles gemini is starting to get stingy with its tokens or whatever (I get this from complaints in reddits antigravity threads). I suspect that googles the one who's homing in on the actual costs as anthropic and others are still in startup launch mode with all the big investments.


Would mint be a good fit if I want to make something like https://winxp.vercel.app/ ?


I think so, yes.


Same author behind https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/ , the best screen recorder for wayland imo (I had tried other alternatives but none of them helped in recording at 4k 60fps, this worked out of the box).


Really depends on your feed, I first muted Elon, and only follow artists, so that's all my feed is, no hate or any racism.


But you had to mute the owner and sole decision maker of the platform to get that result.

How long will he allow the peasants to mute or block him?


You literally can't block people anymore on X https://www.cnet.com/tech/blocking-on-xtwitter-doesnt-work-a...


From the article you posted, blocking still stops people from communicating with you.

The only difference with how it is now is they can still view your posts. I don't have a dog in this fight (don't have Twitter) but this seems like a good feature.

On reddit I've been blocked and then called a Nazi/reprehensible person/nonhuman scum. When blocked, you can't see what people say about you. I would like to report the comments for harassment, but I can't.

Blocking should stop someone from being able to communicate with you - but it shouldn't be a shield against reporting harassment.


The same. I follow tech accounts and some parody accounts and haven’t never seen racism&co.

But x’s algorithm is a self-evolving b*tch so my recent feed can change anytime…


It doesn't. Elon will happily spam your notifications with his own racist tweets directly, even if you don't follow him.


Back when I still had an account, after never seeing his content in the previous ~15 years I had been using Twitter, he was suddenly all over my feed. I had to mute him, and then, when that didn't work, block him, within months of his takeover.


I made and follow my own "lists" and that blocks just about anything (including most ads). Also, having just under 10,000 block and mute words helps a bit.


> blocks just about anything (including most ads).

Do you not run uBlock Origin for some reason? Is the modern web even usable living like that?


Perhaps I'm not the right person to reply to this, because I am just a beginner pixel artist, but I feel so much better when I finish my art projects when compared to the time I spent fiddling with stable diffusion. Maybe because I struggled so much to make it because of my mediocre skills?

I got the same feeling as when you defeat a boss in some soulslike game, it's frustrating but you feel so good when you're done with it.

AI art didn't feel special to me because you can generate as many as you want, I got bored very fast. I guess this is because I'm a process oriented person.


Yeah, I don't understand why anyone would support this

Are you talking about this article?

Yes it was shown off at their GUADEC.


If you use any electron apps it might be better to wait

Looks awesome! What's the tech stack btw?

This exercise fixed it for me. I was diagnosed with GERD last year, I already had it for 2-3 years before that, but it got worse last year. I got ppis for a couple of months and when I finished all of them it came back worse. Fortunately I found this article, and I started doing the exercise daily morning after I woke up(and still do it). I can now eat tomatoes, food with mint, spicy food etc etc :) I have shared my experience with others and it helped them too

Edit - Changed the link, had posted something else by mistake

Since reading the above HN comments, I have lost ten pounds and (mostly) stopped drinking carbonated beverages. My GERD is vastly reduced.

¢¢


I don't see anything about carbonated beverages in those comments? I've had good results with some of the exercises mentioned there, but since then have been in a rut unable to make it stop (my only symptom of GERD is a small persistent cough, which sucks more than it sounds like). I drink a lot of sparkling water though. Do I need to give that up too?


Carbonated beverages expand once swallowed, not helpful if your LES is relaxed.


>I drink a lot of sparkling water though. Do I need to give that up too?

That helped more (for me) than the minimal weightloss, so far.


Thanks for this, will add it to the experiment queue while I work on losing the slight dad bod I have going on.


How did you implement this? I can't figure out what these instructions in the article mean: "Exercises of dry swallowing in the bridge posture lasted for 4 weeks and were performed ten times per day (Fig. 2). The exercise was performed with 10-s intervals between swallows."

Does this mean that total number of daily dry swallows in bridge position was 10 or 10 times 10 (100)?


You get in the bridge position. And then swallow, wait 10 seconds, and swallow again. So total of 10 times, I'm not sure if I could have kept up with it if I had to swallow 100 times :)


Thanks for this - it looks interesting, I'm planning on giving it a try for my low level reflux that's been bothering me for over a decade (but always had other health issues that seemed higher priorities to try to address).


That looks interesting, and can't hurt. So you do 1 set of 10 reps (swallows) a day in the morning? I'm surprised that just swallowing 10 times can provoke any sort of physiological change...
