Curious, the ghidralite page download button links to the NSA's github releases page.
I wonder what is the purpose of ghidralite dot com. SEO spam? Are they building trust and then will swap out the Download button with a poisoned binary.
Last night, I deliberately paid attention to an ad because it had the disclaimer "images generated with AI". I was curious to see what the advertisers did with the technology. The ad featured a bunch of animals of different species driving cars around a city. It clearly had that AI uncanny valley that high budget 3D modeled CGI animals doesn't have. I thought about what it would have cost for a effects team to 3D model and render all those animals, and also wondered how many rendering attempts with the AI did it take to get good footage for the ad.
The ad felt sickening to look at, like a TV with smooth motion turned on. It's like my brain is rejecting the pictures that it sees because it doesn't match the patterns of motion that it has been trained to recognize. Or was it just regular motion sickness.
Not an Aeron chair, but I bought a used Steelcase Leap 2 for $500. I've had it for 15 years and all the hardware is still like new. A year ago the reupholstered fabric on the seat started to rip revealing the original fabric which was stained but in one piece.
I don't think you would get the same mileage with an Ikea office chair.
> One reason developers are developers is the dopamine loop
> You write code, it doesn’t work, you fix it, it works, great! Dopamine rush. Several dozens or a hundred times a day.
This statement resonates with me. Vibe coding gets the job done quickly, but without the same joy. I used to think that it was the finished product that I liked to create, but maybe it's the creative process of building. It's like LEGO kits, the fun is putting them together, not looking at the finished model.
On the flip side, coding sessions where I bang my head against the wall trying to figure out some black box were never enjoyable. Nor was writing POCOs, boilerplate, etc.
Context of the conversation, I was asking it to convert a photo into Studio Ghibli style and it objected to the blender in the image so I asked if it could do one with a mason jar instead of a blender. Then it started to generate the picture, then instead it displayed the ad.
... Edit ...
Looks like this may be a existing feature I didn't know about "shopping research" connector. I can't seem to turn it off in the app .
I think this a popup for their shopping research promotion feature they added last week. I guess its a first party ad for their own new feature, but I don’t think its the third party ads that this article is talking about.
