It will be interesting to see how Digg thrives when there is already Reddit and Hacker News exist.

Just got an invite to be part of Digg Groundbreakers:

“Also: you probably noticed there’s a $5 charge to join. That’s not about access. It’s a simple way to keep things human—a small hurdle that helps make sure the people coming in are, well, actual people. No subscriptions. No gimmicks. Just a quick check at the door.”

Interesting HN thread about Digg's history

A backend developer working on an internal dashboard does not need to wait for a designer. They can use v0 for it. They don’t even need to wait for a front-end dev. They can use v0 again. Do note: These tools are good for standalone projects with smaller code bases. You can’t expect these gen AI tools to write scalable code, and as the code base increases, it will hallucinate more and might even want to delete your own codebase for the lols.

Like it or not, you will ultimately reach an age where it will suddenly dawn upon you that very few people genuinely respect you. Yes, they might like and, perhaps, even love you too, but that garnish of respect is sorely missing. It’s a strange mix; it’s a strange miss. All those whom you considered your closest, they would appear like they take you for granted. Even those in your professional circle would make you feel like you are insufficient. A very weird phase, it will be. But like all phases, this too shall pass.

The perceived acceleration of time as we age is a major cognitive illusion. Childhood memories seem endless because they were filled with constant discovery and the impairment of registering regret or anxiety about the past and future. Adulthood doesn't hold the same level of novelty. Repeated stimuli appear briefer than new stimuli of equal duration. Learning new things and taking on challenging cognitive tasks can potentially slow our internal sense of time.

A hilarious tweet by the account @typedfemale said: “what i learned from today: if you have strong opinions about what constitutes reasoning - never make a dataset that allows your critics to prove you wrong publicly”. And while the sarcasm is funny, it points to a deeper truth: if your task or job is legible enough to be put into a dataset, AI companies will find a way to automate it, sooner or later.
