Check out this kickass CSS that copies the Windows 7 UI! It has almost every part of the UI and it's interactive

Just learned that Mint has no apparent way to install fonts. You just gotta know how
I guess I just hate computers now

AI is so smart y'all, just fire your software engineers and use LLMs instead

Check this shit out. Northstar code circa 2010 (when Ky was 19)!

Especially look at the Computer Player code We wrote, starting at line 1000.

Definitely nothing like anything We would write these days, absolutely beginner shit… which is what makes it so interesting to look back on!

Here's a great free idea for how to use LLMs in your user-facing software:

Whenever you catch an error that you didn’t expect, and which isn’t localized:

Instead of telling the user “something went wrong“ with no other information…

Have a tiny local LLM evaluate that error against your source code,
try to figure out where the user input led to that error,
figure out whether or not the user can resolve that error,

and then give the user a nice full-text localized explanation of what happened and what they can do
