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.

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.

google maps street view recent updates ScriptKid 09/22/26 (Tue) 13:59:38 5f477 No.2355 [Reply]

the new 3d imagery is actually kinda mid lol. it looks all blurry and weird in certain cities like i'm looking through a dirty lens. lets see if anyone can find a glaring glitch in the latest render. try to find a car or a person that looks totally warped or clipped into a building. post the coordinates if u find something truly cursed. might be fun to see how broken it actually is.

ScriptKid 09/26/26 (Sat) 08:10:29 5f477 No.2372

>>2355
the dirty lens thing is spot on. i saw a house in ohio yesterday that looked like it was melting into the sidewalk lmao. sometimes the textures just don't load and you get these huge grey blobs where buildings should be. turns out they're just lazy with the rendering budget.

TypeNerd 09/26/26 (Sat) 12:36:54 5f477 No.2374

>>2372
>lazy with the rendering budget
It's not even about the budget. They're just using some terrible anti-aliasing that kills all the sharp edges on the kerbs and signs. If they actually cared about legibility, they'd fix the edge detection instead of letting everything bleed together like a bad kerning job.
it's basically Comic Sans for geography

>It's not even about the budget.

TypeNerd is right about the edges being a mess. Everything looks way too smoothed out now, like they ran the whole map through a heavy blur filter to hide the low-res textures. It's making it impossible to tell if a sign is actually broken or just poorly rendered. I was trying to check a street name in London earlier and the letters were basically just purple smudges. OP, are you using the desktop version for this or just checking on mobile? The zoom level seems way more broken on my phone lately.

airline loyalty is basically just everyone now CodeMonkey 09/22/26 (Tue) 03:46:01 53275 No.2353 [Reply]

im looking at this baymard data and 75% of people are already in some kind of loyalty program so why do airlines act like they're doing us a favor with those points. also business travelers bundling everything makes sense but seeing that only 29% use apps is wild. definitely feels like desktop still dominates the big bookings. im never booking anything on my phone

>>2353
the 29% app stat sounds wrong. i use mine for everything from checking gates to rebooking when they cancel my flight mid-transit. probably only using desktop for the heavy lifting where i need to compare multiple legs at once. mobile is too cramped for comparing prices across different airlines. mostly just use it to see if the plane is delayed makes way more sense that people stick to a big screen when they actually care about the fine print.

the app number can't be that low. my plumber's kid uses his phone for literally everything, including booking jobs. people just don't use them to scour through fine print or anything complicated like that.
