Maybe we're not gonna lose our jobs after all www.extremetech.com/computing/ch...

Developer: we don't need onboarding, my UI is intuitive User:

The most defining feature of "Artificial Intelligence" models is probably that they're structurally unable to provide "I don't know" as an answer. Which, incidentally, is the most defining feature of Natural Bullshit Artists. Go figure.

Everyone seems super excited about Anthropic's new Sonnet 4, but to me it's a substantial step back compared to the previous version. It's sluggish, the output is significantly less readable, and I spent the last few days fixing coding errors in tasks that I used to completely delegate to Claude

I gave a talk recently about how source available is thriving and open source is dying. This is an example of one of the categories of problems I pointed out. Permissive licenses are *by convention* also a collaborative culture, but they are not *necessarily* so. The difference is crucial

Hold on a sec. OpenTofu is not open?? #devops #opentofu #terraform github.com/cncf/sandbox...

TS/SCI means the information must be transmitted over Text or Signal with Some Civilians Invited

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

When I think to Gene Hackman I can't help but think to Mississippi Burning. One of the greatest movies I can remember, and he was just perfect in that role

I don't use the word hero lightly, but Volodimir Zelenskyy is the closest we have left to it in these regrettable times #slavaukraini 🇺🇦

Supermaven is so much better than GitHub Copilot. A lot faster, and far better at "understanding" the context even across different parts of my projects. Just amazing.

I've been thinking a lot about the shape of airliners lately and for the life of me I will never understand how this is possible

My brain just BSODed

Many Apache Foundation products are amazing, but I use them only when there's no alternative. I always wondered why they all are cumbersome, over-engineered, poorly documented black boxes. TIL that they use Jira to steer their development and everything suddenly makes sense cnr.sh/posts/compar...

Nuova piattaforma, vecchie abitudini

A Complete Unknown is a great movie and I loved every second of it but it would have been even better if Chalamet wasn't pulling a Magnum all the bloody time 🙄

@matteobordone.bsky.social Mi domandavo: ma tutti quei momenti di recitazione à la Corinna in Twin Peaks sono l'ennesimo espediente di Lynch per creare straniamento, un'incursione nel neorealismo pasoliniano, o alcunə attori/attrici erano proprio scarsə? Secondo me l'Oreste ha un'opinione in merito

I have an idea -- let's buy up all and any app that brings people joy, and let's turn them into soul-crushing propaganda weapons in an ideological war against enlightenment values. Who can chip in? *forest of hands raised*

I don't use TikTok and really don't have strong feelings about it, but I think it's worth dusting off this old PSA by @xkcd.com for all those currently whining about its ban supposedly violating the first amendment

They could have banned Microsoft Teams you know. But here we are

If you don't listen to podcasts while doing your chores we can't be friends. Seriously, what's wrong with you?
