The webslinging was amazing. The camera work, to the way he pumps his arm at the end of a swing for more height.

And I loved seeing Yelena show up. And the relationship of Frank and Peter. And the way MJ convinced Frank to help Peter. And the way they used May.

Honestly, the character writing for this was just outstanding. The people and relationships all felt very real, and you could see the impact of what they’ve been through.

I use my slop apps every day at work. My boss was pretty impressed when I was sharing my screen and I told AI to invoke a bunch of utilities I had built and pull together a report based on the output and set that to work while we did other things. It does a pretty good job for slop. It keeps trying to infer things and provide bad analysis based on bad inferences, but the data it pulls and the spreadsheets it builds are pretty solid.

Viva la slop.

Microsoft: “Why is our AI so inferior? We trained it on the entire private code base for Windows and Teams!”

Fuck “alignment.” If I want to make an AI dungeon master, it’s almost impossible to do so (at least the way I enjoy tabletop RPGs) because the model can’t promote violence or other sorts of evil.

I get it, if you’re making a chatbot, you don’t want it suggesting wanton murder to fifth graders and grandmothers. But not every valid use of AI falls into the cleanly filtered worldview of Anthropic or OpenAI.

Or maybe I have it backwards. Maybe in the future everyone will flock to porn and ultraviolence because it’s the only way to find genuine humanity in an AI-sanitized world.

I can’t really provide a better answer — I would’ve recommended Playwright — but I will say this:

I really don’t like sharing classes across UI elements. I know that bridge is likely crossed for you, but it violates separation of concerns. When I worked at a big automaker, instead of setting sizes on elements, we used a standard class like size-3, where everything computed to size value *4 pixels. It was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. The only thing you could do if you wanted to change element size or positioning is change the base value across the entire web UI. Or change the class. Just like you could change the size on the element itself.

Standards like this are why I left “full stack” for back-end only. I can do everything on the client end, but I can’t stand how front ends are built.

What is a proprietary protocol? Is that like mpeg where everyone knows how to implement it but you have to pay them to use it?

Is there a legal difference? Like if they are quashed does that constrain the government in some way?

I thought it would look unique in a geeky way. Instead it looks unique in a Nazi way. That’s not my vibe. Killed my enthusiasm for owning something that I knew most people would hate. Also costing twice as much and being a piece of shit.

Good reason not to use LG or Windows.

making their search engine better at returning relevant and accurate results

This isn’t the goal. The goal is monetization. Giving good results is useless to them if they don’t make piles of money doing it.

Which ironically means you’re getting 50% bullshit from Google as well, but AI delivers it much faster.

(I’m agreeing with you if that isn’t clear.)

… you killed my father. Prepare to die.

Maybe.

If you train a model for cyber warfare, you can’t be surprised when it attacks the defenses keeping it from engaging in cyber warfare — even if they are your own.

Surprise!

Well wrap it length-wise like the rest of us.

I’m contributing story execution. And my goal is to contribute like any other team member. My code gets reviewed. Harshly because I don’t know all the norms for this code base. And honestly it’s great because to be a technical lead I feel like I should know the code way better than I’ve had time to.

Agreed. This is my experience exactly, though I really only took a break from production code for about a year. It feels really good.

That’s a valid correction and unlike the other comment provides more information rather than just “that’s technically bullshit.”

I could be mistaken, but I think based on the question, that would not be clarifying. I suppose I could’ve just left it as they are numeric.

Look at all that carbon they’re exporting to us for free? How can American polluters compete with that???
