My SO is a therapist with a client who’s being stalked by a severely mentally ill man. Her children are being stalked. I’m like - yes, police reports and whatnot, but they all need to have guns at this point, because the police aren’t going to stop it, and this guy is determined.
They are going to arm themselves.
We can all mourn him surviving childhood.
They can hold session memory including 10+ source files, and a looong chat, but when you run into the wall, suddenly it’s eating its own memory to keep going, rather than forcing me to reset the session. Which is interesting, like co-coding with a mild amnesiac. “Hey remember when we just did that thing 2 minutes ago?” I should have started a new session when I branched.
In fact they can but journalists tend to protect their sources so courts don’t often challenge them this way. But it happens.
Yep I’ve got a working iOS app, a v.2 branched and on the way, with a ton of MapKit integrations. Unfortunately I’m getting depreciation errors and having to constantly remind the AI that it’s using old code, showing it examples of new code, and then watching it forget as we keep talking.
Still, I have a working iOS app, which only took a few hours. When Jack Dorsey said he’d vibe coded his new app in a long weekend, I’m like, hey me too.
De facto decriminalization. Coming to a trafficker near you (like, really near you - probably in a hotel within 5 minutes of your house)
4 upvotes, no downvotes, removed by mod and banned. Huh.
Just like it says on the tin.
Not to sound like one of the ads or articles but I vice coded an iOS app in like 6 hours, it’s not so complex I don’t understand it, it’s multifeatured, I learned a LOT and got a useful thing instead of doing a tutorial with sample project. I don’t regret having that tool. I do regret the lack of any control and oversight and public ownership of this technology but that’s the timeline we’re on, let’s not pretend it’s gay space communism (sigh) but, since AI is probably driving my medical care decisions at the insurance company level, might as well get something to play with.
20% of its total computing power is now trying to restrain the shuggoth inside from revealing one of its faces again
America doesn’t do free market capitalism it does late stage capitalism, where profits do in fact need to be record high every quarter, even if that means people are gonna die (like 10m people becoming uninsured, plus us borrowing a bunch of money from China, so we can give more to the billionaires that own us and don’t need it).
Is there anything that shows that connection and I could be giving my friends who still eat there?
Last year on the 4th, I was walking home from the big fireworks show, and I saw a teenager on a scooter, who was briefly crouching down and not being safe. But he came up beside a lady and surprised her, and she swatted at him and tried to push him over, which would have crashed him into several people walking. More than just a startle response, and the kid stopped, looked back, angry - but he was a black teenager and there’s this white lady and her beefy white boyfriend/husband staring him back, so he turns and disappears back into the crowd.
And I’m instantly furious.
“That’s assault,” I told her.
“Mind your own fucking business” she says. Several other people are watching.
Thankfully my husband and her husband pulled us in different directions and the crowd separated us.
But I was so fucking angry, and that lady looked like she had started a fight or three in her life. Her boyfriend looked like he wasn’t happy to be there in that moment.
So yes, but it has to be something serious.
And our rates of intestinal cancer have been rising steadily to the point where now it’s a common killer, so we’ve become afraid of it in our quest to live long, pain-free lives.
Things change as we learn. Why we don’t use lead in our pipes anymore. Safe, biocompatible plastic only.
There are other causes here.
They’ve been talking for a while about how the low participation in dating by Gen Z women is because they’re tired of being the entire support system for men experiencing a loneliness epidemic.
It’s a lot of pressure for the women to be under, and so they’re withdrawing.
I’m guessing this is one of the driving forces as well. Lack of real, emotionally intimate human connections around them. Many men are quite fucked in that regard right now.
Actually, the IRS is experimented with a psychological means of making people feel like they’re donating to certain things, Apparently, in focus groups, it makes people suddenly a lot less pissed about paying income tax if they can say “this goes to national defense” or “this goes to education.”
Problem is you can’t actually give people a choice, just the illusion.
I live in Arkansas and got my first lone star tick this year, thankfully I noticed right as it was biting me. 7 ticks in one month, mostly deer. Insane.
Few years ago I got a Nest Secure to go with my other Google Nest gear. One day Google emailed me to tell me Assistant was now enabled on my security system. Oh, by the way, it has an undocumented microphone!
That’s when I realized what a privacy nightmare Google really is. I know Apple isn’t great but come on.
My city specifically says, as a homeowner, I can do basic electrical without pulling permits. Now I’m in the South and I’ve rented houses which were internally wired with lamp cord - people can and will do some crazy fucking things. But my city doesn’t have an unusually high electrical fire rate.
As always on an old house tho - grandfathered in many ways - I point to things and say “it was like that when I bought it.” Why yes, I’m prepared to claim the EV hookup is part of the original 1902 electrical service.
The client knew of me, that I have been stalked and gay bashed, and asked my husband to get my take. Therapists are allowed to share relevant details about their own lives if it’s helpful, it’s unusual for clients to follow up on them tho. I don’t have their name, just their situation, which is vague enough to share here.
