People want to remain valuable and this tool takes that away. As long as you still find meaningful ways to contribute, all is good. But this says nothing about all the skills mastered that have been rendered effectively useless. And in time, as this tool gets better, it could rob you of the agency to change your environment.

Very nice, how did you manage to bypass sites with cloudflare turnstile setup?

on: 23andMe files for bankruptcy to sell itself
I remember reading an article about how these companies were big bad conglomerates who had complete ownership over valuable personal data. Not really downplaying the potential harm that can come with these "assets" in the wrong hands, but nice to know corporate is so inefficient they couldn't even avoid bankruptcy... it will be a long time before they can even hope to orchestrate complex nefarious schemes.

I would still rather be doing tech right now than anything else. Job market is not as good as it used to be, but it is still better than other work.
Honestly, I kind of only just scanned the article because it was clearly written by GPT.

on: No longer writing my own damn HTML
I run my personal site off of Hugo. You can load some decent themes and adding new content is a relatively painless process.
But I do feel like there is a cost to using static site generators. Raw HTML is easier to work with if you aren't dealing with a lot of similar pages.

on: Show HN: Sumochess, chess variant where you push pieces out
Played the bot for a little while. No pieces came off the entire game(30 moves)... interesting concept but at a loss as to how you should be making progress.
