I use ChatGPT 5.4 and PyCharm IDE. I also made a Wordpress plugin to list guns here. I have to get the payment gateway authorized and then we can use it.

Oh wow, that's pretty cool! What platform do you use?

I've been "vibe coding" quite a bit for my company. My current project is building a search engine for our local intranet server. I also made a gasket nesting tool for circles and hexagon shapes for nesting on rotary presses and vertical presses. My boss is building a custom CRM system so we can get away from Apptivo. I also made a mail labeler for my personal use for samples I mail out to our customers, and a Request For Quote ticket system for our Sales Team. The search engine project has been rough...very steep learning curve for me. But not very long ago, none of these things would have been possible for me to do.

Yes, he is not the Trump he used to be. The way he lashed out at MTG, Alex Jones, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson was really sad. Those people once were his biggest supporters. He did the same thing to Elon, but they were able to work things out. Hopefully Trump will try to reestablish ties to those he has alienated.

I was reading today about "Mythos", which is an AI platform made by Anthropic. It allows people to "vibe code", or use natural language to create apps. However, it has a second function that is apparently very dangerous, which is to find ways to exploit web sites or computer systems. From what I read, it sounds like in testing, it was able to find quite a few exploits that had been overlooked for years, and so the platform has not yet been released to the public.

So this is the world we are entering: malicious actors using AI to defraud, scam, steal, and destroy, but on a scale far greater than anything we've seen before. It's rather dystopian.

Wow. Didn't see that coming. However, I agree that I have greatly soured on Trump since the Iran war. Even his abduction of Maduro was done on shaky grounds, in my opinion. I expect the GOP will be hit hard in the Fall elections as a result of their inability to address the economy while they fund overseas military actions.

He's become irrational and compromised by the Epstein saga which I think Israel is using against him to force him to make dumb moves in the Middle East. Hopefully, we haven't turned Iran into the new regional hegemon of the Middle East.

I might as well start watching the NBA since college is basically the NBA's minor leagues now.

Wanted to check back in on this this thread. Donovan Mitchell is a bona fide all-star, and this season he's averaging over 27 ppg. But Victor Wembanyama is turning into one of the greatest players in the league, and he's still only 22 years old.

I find it interesting that the top four players in the conversation for the MVP this year are all international players: Wembanyama (France), Gilgeous-Alexander (Canada), Doncic (Slovenia), and Jokic (Serbia).
