Fully and completely fascinating. I’m amazed we’ve already gotten to “computers can take drugs, and those drugs meaningfully change their internal thought process and behavior”. Cyberpunk-ass future.

The cyber cab: a car so ugly it almost makes me want to earnestly defend the design of the cyber truck. Almost.

- I don’t really know what “conscious” means, exactly - I don’t think any of the frontier LLMs are “conscious” (vibes definition, low confidence) - I don’t think there is any test we could design that would prove this, that wouldn’t be trivially passed within 6 months

Thing I probably should have mentioned publicly before now: I’m going to Oakland, @steveklabnik.com and I are giving a talk tomorrow morning at SPLASH/PLSS about our work on @rue-lang.dev conf.researchr.org/details/spla...

Elite tier pro tip: You can just watch the wire again.

Was literally just discussing this tonight, 100%

This ended up running for 86.5 hours uninterrupted. 109 PRs, closing 107 issues. It finally ran aground because Claude ran a script as a detached shell process instead of a tracked background task, so it wasn’t notified when it finished. From what I can tell, it stayed on track for the whole run.

IF YOU THINK YOU CANNOT AFFORD OPUS 5.5 please try using Opus 5.5 and see. Compared even to Opus 5 the new model appears to *sip* tokens. I can't believe how slowly my usage is ticking up.

We originally wrote Gazette as a performance benchmark. It was our first opportunity to see how fast compiled rue programs actually ran. The obvious next step was to use it for a real production use case: the rue website itself.

It is extremely on brand that uncle bob uses grok

Silo season three is so fucking good

Nuclear hot take: “don’t let AI write your pull request descriptions” is going to seem extremely quaint in less than 6 months.

“Ballmer suspended for a year” is honestly a bigger punishment than I would have expected. Mr. Silver, I owe you an apology, I wasn’t really familiar with your game.

Silo season three is so fucking good

Software team alignment building mega-hack: talk to each other.

I will not tolerate this doctor jacoby slander

Serious question: how much of the token efficiency you get from pi.dev gets burned up customizing it?

“Bobby” is very sweet, gotta watch inside again.

Is that… good?

Question: has anyone actually shipped anything public with gastown yet? Other than re-writing gastown itself, of course.

I think the latest episode of strange new worlds is the scariest episode in all of Star Trek.

As an established hater of standard time, just want to chime in here with a “this fuckin’ whips” and “if you don’t like it you should change the timezone boundaries”.

This is such a great idea. If I lived in NYC, I’d strongly consider applying. Hopefully this spurs more cities (and states) to bring more tech stuff in-house. Also: they should open source what they build! I want to see a golden age of “Public Software”.

Speaking of “through the looking glass”… news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4884...

This is a truly fascinating technical document. I’ve never been a bun user, so I have no stake in the outcome, but it’s an incredible precedent. If this really ”works” and bun is as stable (or more stable) than it had been previously, we’re really through the looking glass. bun.com/blog/bun-in-...

The bear season 5 was my favorite since the first one. Really fun and stressful, almost made me miss working in kitchens again!

It’s really nice, y’all

Mexico is a 1-seed for sure, but don’t sleep on the eastern conference

Six more games please!!!

This whole “no playoff basketball for several days in a row” thing really isn’t working for me

I love rooting for this man.

Chet is out here Ben Simmonsing. Totally terrified to shoot.

Potato egg and cheese tacos are GOOD AS HELL

They are calling it the loudest booing in history

Slack and GitHub, I really need y’all to align on markdown variants.
