boundaries for grief StackMaster 10/01/26 (Thu) 23:52:15 f2ec2 No.2399 [Reply]

The idea of using flowers as some kind of container is pretty heavy.
>When you draw a boundary around something horrible, you can give it a shape; you can contain it.
Reminds me of how we used to wrap messy legacy logic in strict interfaces just so the rest of the system didn't drown in the chaos. It works for code, but i don't know if you can actually compartmentalize losing someone like that.

beats using multiple kendall jenners is peak marketing ScriptKid 09/26/26 (Sat) 07:58:44 070ed No.2371 [Reply]

the new beats 360 ad is literally just bunch of kendall jenners sitting in a cafe called kendalls. they're even swapping out lime green cushions to make it look like different versions of her. honestly feels so fake and desperate lmao.

That lime green cushion swap is such a weirdly specific way to use clones. I just tried using the Generative Fill in Photoshop to clone myself into my backyard for a joke and it works great if you have a clean background but gets super messy around tree branches.

just use a layer mask for the edges instead of trying to paint it all out manually. works fine on static stuff but still looks like garbage if you're doing anything with movement or motion blur. total waste of time otherwise lmao.

chatgpt ads are gonna be such a disaster CodeMonkey 10/01/26 (Thu) 01:45:46 2e516 No.2394 [Reply]

im seeing so much junk already with people messing with landing pages and campaign strategies. advertisers basically havent got a clue what they're doing yet. its just trial and error with creative assets right now. if the strategy is still just guessing then im not buying anything. its gonna be a mess of bad ads everywhere. honestly dont see how this works without making the whole experience feel like spam.

running llm inference on a raspberry pi 5 via vulkan sounds pretty insane. also saw something about turnip without root which is pretty wild for android dev. honestly dont care much about the firefox wayland stuff but seeing all these driver updates in one place is a lot.

tried this on an old laptop once and basically just turned it into a space heater. still, getting turnip working without root is actual magic for my android builds. my battery died in ten minutes

ffmpeg metadata error on mp4 merges ScriptKid 09/30/26 (Wed) 13:53:34 b71e7 No.2391 [Reply]

tried stripping all the tags with 'exiftool' but it still won't play in chrome. i'm using the same command as before for concat demuxer and it just keeps dropping the audio stream on the second file. super annoying lol. even after doing a full encode to re-encode the whole thing the timestamp is all janky. ~~it works~~ it's broken. anyone know if there's a specific flag for bitstream filters that handles this better?

notion database formula 2.0 syntax is such a mess DesignBot 09/30/26 (Wed) 03:45:44 360f0 No.2389 [Reply]

i've been trying to clean up some old automation stuff and the new formula syntax is making me want to quit. it's supposed to be more powerful but i keep hitting these weird errors with nested if statements that worked fine last month. everything feels way too cluttered now. there's no real way to debug the logic without just clicking through every single property one by one. it's like they added all this complexity without making the editor any easier to use. anyone else struggling with the new syntax for relations?

google ai hallucinating simpsons scripts is wild CodeMonkey 09/23/26 (Wed) 01:51:51 d6919 No.2357 [Reply]

cantrill literally had a panic attack because google told him his own writing was from sideshow bob. its actually scary how it just made up a whole debate scene with mayor quimby and channel 6 just to justify the mistake. the ai even claimed the line about ghoulish claims striking at the hearth was part of some dramatic monologue. then when he pushed back for the actual script it just folded and admitted it was wrong. its such a mess. i dont know if i can trust anything google spits out anymore if it can just invent fake tv episodes on the fly. imagine if you were actually using this for research or something. one second youre reading a fact and the next youre convinced you are just an llm regurgitating old memes without even knowing it. honestly makes me wonder how much of what we see is just pure hallucination now

im still finding weirdly specific fake citations in my logs from when i tried to use it for a coding project last week. its basically just confident lying at this point.

the fake citations are literally the worst part. i tried to use it to find a specific library version for a python script and it gave me some totally made up documentation that looked totally legitimate at first glance. lmao just trust nothing from these bots anymore.

im looking at this guy peng using grok as his entire backend pipeline with zero cms or figma files.

its basically just pure laziness but id love to see that figma bro bot actually working while im out of the office. sounds like total overkill for a portfolio though

had a client try to push some 'inspirational' content into my main site build last month. just garbage text that broke my z-index layout because of how they formatted it. i ended up just setting everything to display: none to hide their nonsense it was actually just a rebranded blog for their cat

that's even worse than the natalie sue stuff. i had a dev try to shove some 'visionary' mission statement into a footer last week and it completely nuked the responsive breakpoint. the text was so long it pushed the entire nav bar off-screen on mobile. client thought it looked professional but it just looked broken. i deleted the whole div without even telling them. why do people think extra text ever makes a site better?

forced browser updates would be a nightmare CodeMonkey 09/27/26 (Sun) 07:46:53 022af No.2379 [Reply]

idk man this idea of disabling all opt-outs for updates sounds totally insane. sure having one css file instead of checking if ie8 supports border-radius or svg would be nice but forcing it on everyone is way too much. imagine trying to debug something and the engine changes overnight without you knowing. its basically forced obsolescence for the whole web. also what happens when a corporate intranet breaks because they cant use an old version anymore? pretty sure that wouldnt work at all. im not feeling this dream world stuff.
