OpenAI introduces Sora, its text-to-video AI model
I wonder if in the 1800s people saw the first photograph and thought… “well, that’s the end of painters.” Others probably said “look! it’s so shitty it can’t even reproduce colors!!!”.
What it was the end of was talentless painters who were just copying what they saw. Painting stopped being for service and started being for art. That is where software development is going.
I have worked with hundreds of software developers in the last 20 years, half of them were copy pasters who got into software because they tricked people into thinking it was magic. In the future we will still code, just don’t bother with the thing the Prompt Engineer can do in 5 seconds.

Changing coffee beans: What do you do when there aren't enough beans to make a final brew?
I call it my zombie blend. I have a mason jar that I add a little to each time I switch, then when I have enough to do a cold brew I use it for that. I find cold brew to be more forgiving with stale beans.

Thumbs up is such a common emoji but almost nobody gives IRL thumbs up anymore.

That might be true, or something local. I posted that this morning then got too busy to check in. I probably should have made it less about “positive/negative” and more about “it’s cool vs not cool” Here is my way too late OP explanation:
I go to a lot of sports events, hockey mostly. Since the 90s my friends and I play a little game. Count the people who give a #1 finger on the jumbotron vs point at their jersey vs thumbs up. Collectively, we have decided that ”kids today” don’t use thumbs up as much as in the past. I also noticed “Let’s go!” Is the cheer these days.
Sorry for oversimplifying my shower thought.

Or when you walk over the threshold of an elevator door and there is that little gap. Same with keys.

Every little thing I buy, within a couple weeks is followed by an email asking me to leave a review. For EVERYTHING! WTF do they do with their billions of reviews?

It’s also probably some Product Manager’s OKR to get some engagement metric every quarter.

Recently started jogging 30 minutes twice a week. When does it stop feeling like I'm dying?
Reply in thread
A work friend and I run a 5k twice a week at lunch. There is something therapeutic that happens when you jog with a friend at a casual pace. You can’t look each other in the eye so you say a lot of things that you’d normally be uncomfortable talking about.

I’m reading this now for the first time. All of the conversations between Palpatine and Anakin leading up to the fall add so much flavour to his fall. Worth a read for sure.

That happened to me once. I think it was I Heart Huckabees. It started and people were so confused. I half think David O Russel asked them to do it to throw people off.

What is a typical spelling mistake you make?
More a typo than a spelling mistake but if a word ends in ‘th’, my brain cannot stop adding an ‘e’.
