I like the version where it throws the error. That way I will realize I might not have copied the right JSON (or forgotten to copy)

Hard disagree. I love a little bit of whimsy (which I feel the world is lacking more and more everyday) from Simon everytime a new model is announced.

> Did mass processed food production stop people from cooking or enjoying human made food?

Yeah but what if I'm getting pitted against my coworkers who are vibe coding and getting things done faster than I am. Some people write code with pride because it's their brainchild. AI completely ruins the fun for those people when they have to compete against their coworkers for productivity.

I'm not in disagreement with you or the GP comment, but this it is super hard to make nuanced comments about GenAI.

What is React runtime? I looked it up and the closest thing I came across is the newly announced React compiler. I have a vested interest in this because currently working on a micro-SaaS that uses React heavily and still suffering bundle bloat even after performing all the usual optimizations.

One I use a lot is kp, it kills a process listening to a particular TCP port.

  kp () {
           if [ -z "$1" ] then
                   echo "Usage: kp <port>"
                   return 1
           fi
           lsof -nP -iTCP:"$1" -sTCP:LISTEN | awk 'NR>1 {print $2}' | xargs kill -9
   }

Not a fork of thunderbird. It's custom CSS that renders the thunderbird "chrome".

Also clicking on the checkbox label does not check or uncheck it. Me thinks they jumped the gun on this

The opposite is true in Chrome-- the address bar a little more than completely useless. I use it mostly for web development but this feature along with manifest v3 introduced by Chrome might make me switch to Firefox for good.

The sign in flow is completely broken for me. I am signing up with an email, after I click the verification link it takes me to a page where I need to enter my email yet again. Here it says I already might have an account and sends another verification email which does the same thing again. Also found other issues the site after going to the home page. Multiple modals overlapping with the sign in flow.

I am squarely in the camp that believes real sentience is not possible anytime soon given the current limits of computation and tech.

My biggest takeaway from this is that emotion gets the best of us when we’re dealing with anything that remotely resemblance sentience. It’s not unlike me thanking Alexa for helping me with small things like turning on my lights, because I would feel bad otherwise.

Yeah exactly, if I `require important.rb` in this file, and `important.rb` wasn't committed how did that project even build and get deployed. Any sane build system will instantly fail for this situations. Looks like an issue with dev ops/engineering culture rather than .gitignore
