    No Claude? No problem! Just ask one of the many other LLMs for the answer. Easiest million ever!

      I don’t know what it is, but I just simply can’t believe that the guy is not deeply involved in some of the most twisted shit.

        Well, Jimmy Donaldson is guilty of torture and running illegal sweepstakes at the very least. His company is also the perfect place for Epstein class wannabes, which I’ve heard rumblings about but nothing concrete.

        I don’t think there’s a lot going on in Jimmy’s head. Jimmy got his start on youtube by counting to 100,000. Then he just did whatever video idea he thought would get the most views. He’s not a creative or intelligent person. Jimmy never really stopped counting.

          Not sure if you referenced it on purpose, but Folding Ideas recently published a deep dive video essay on the Mr. Beast empire, and I believe that “Jimmy never stopped counting” was their conclusion as well.

          It’s a great video. I’d recommend it if you haven’t seen it.

          Idle hands and all that. Someone this vacuous with this much access to resources sounds like the perfect target for manipulation by someone with ill intent. Whatever it is may not have been his idea, but he also doesn’t seem like the person to say no to a paycheck for literally any reason.

    solved it:

    take a screenshot of the div in question, set it as a background for the body and make it no-repeat, center center… don’t forget to slap some fancy 100vh for the body too…

    done! It will even render exactly the same so it is cross-browser ready!

    use the option cover and it will work for all screen sizes and resolutions!

    add diabolical-laughter-047.mp3 as the unstoppable music loop and like seven useless frameworks for additional style points, ohh and like three font families… just in case… and definitely some analytics from BIG G

    — profit.

    Hah. How about this: trap 1,000 regular web developers in a room. First one to use a proper semantic element instead of a div wins $1 million.

      Or any market really, they really like their caves

        I’m one of those old devs that has been writing CSS for like 18 years. It’s funny. Even with access to AI, folks still ask me CSS questions because I actually know the ins and outs of it.

      As someone with very little programming knowledge, the existence of all the “Learn how to program in our easy to use course and AI Assistance for $800 a month!” sites baffles me when w3schools is just… there. It has helped me massively, without a dime.

      I also just realised that the about page of w3s has a ChatGPT section of “This is how ChatGPT describes W3Schools”, why???

      That’s a big “IF” tho. I’ve been teaching embedded programming classes and had to teach folks some very basic stuff like how to RTFM or how to look for stuff on the internet - people don’t even use search engines anymore. 🌚

        Claude has become the search Engine. Stackoverflow doesn’t even exist in the mind of Vibe coders around me. Disconnecting claude means coffee-time until it’s back

        I’ve been wanting to try embedded programming for a while, it looks fun!
        What would you recommend as a starting point? Any books I should pick up?

          If you’re very new to that - I’d just recommend picking up some Arduino (at least UNO R3) starter kit plus some measurement tools - multimeter and maybe an oscilloscope (there are cheap handheld ones like DSO).

          And then you just fool around with what you’ve got - try to read each sensors data, try to use each actuator, think of some useful projects with what you’ve got.

          And from there you can go to stuff like ESP32 to explore wireless stuff (mostly compatible with Arduino too).

      that’s a big IF. few weeks ago I had to teach a junior dev how divs worked, he had no idea. he even initially asked an LLM how they worked and the LLM hallucinated half the responses.

      I’m a backend engineer that only does minor frontend tasks once in a blue moon, and on the top of my head I know two ways to center a div horizontally (well 3 with the obvious <center>) and one to center it vertically. When I hear frontend developers saying it’s hard, I always start questioning their competence at a basic level.

      Maybe could be interesting to get an AI to create a prompt for another AI, and send that prompt down the line like Chinese whispers.

      Edit : or maybe it wouldn’t be. I havent used LLMs and such for about 5 years. I was fascinated at first and played with them for about 2 days getting them to write limerick and shit, but the novelty wore off fast.

        I‘ d recommend playing around a bit with opencode and their free models, just to see what changed. Oh and you don’t have to use it to code, but a fun experiment would be to run it in a Linux container and see what it can do.
