AI can never replace software engineers because most of our job is explaining why the computer is wrong.

Finallyyyyyy

2026 isn't "a weird time in history," we're living through the inevitable conclusion to doing everything wrong

In the slop era, will actually working digital products be like artisanal soap, very expensive niche things for the rich?

@gwestr.me

Not having been at a gas station for 10 years kind of disconnects you from society

Look at all the politicians suddenly picking sides now that Ukraine has basically won. Lol. Cowards.

The whole point of time zones is to align time with when you want to wake up. But who would want to wake up, what kind of weird use case is this.

engine engine engine engine in my faggotry btw if you even care

What do you even do as a job now when you actually care? Artisanal coding isn't it either. I don't code for the purpose of coding. I do it because I like making things. But most of the industry is in full AI psychosis where it doesn't even seem to matter if the LLM output actually does anything

Sorry boss I'm late there was a traffic jam. Aren't you biking to work? Yes

Uncomfortably stuck between "we must build a strong army to keep out Russia" and "we must not build up a strong army because it might fall to the nazis"

opus5 sucks. there, i said it. anthropic is loosing it. yeah it can do "agentic" stuff better i guess, but i still need to read all that output, and most of it is garbage

Do millennials get midlife crisis? Feels like we had it pretty good. Being young in the 2000s was crazy. Don't know why I'd need a motorcycle or do drugs now. I'm good.

People who are saying everyone will vibecode in house SAP on their Mac studio just don't understand how businesses make decisions. Infrastructure cost is a completely irrelevant factor, because the cost is the same for all companies in the same McKinsey deck.

New Mac studio with 512GB ram might make self hosting llms plausible.

dolly parton was cool af. rip

There's something very interesting happening. Humans collectively have very quickly adapted to detect the 16 or so patterns that AI produces. Much faster than new models can be trained.

Only forward deployed is deployed.

Basically hacker news.

I am mostly done implementing crypto/passkey, but now I need YOUR help collecting real-world traces for its test suite! Please go to help-test-crypto-passkey.exe.xyz and click the buttons. It should take 1–3 minutes. 𝘌𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 if you have some unusual Linux-on-the-desktop xkcd 1987 passkey setup.

Anyone else becoming so hyper aware of Claude's specific writing style that you can't read anything anymore that contains even traces of Claude ?

Americans would never

Autonomous weapons are bad actually. Fortunately they suck.

I know this has been pointed out many times by many people but I just want to reiterate: Anthropic is basically using Kurt Vonnegut's drawing of an asshole as the Claude logo

"you have to work out" No. I refuse to be commanded by nature. Give me the cyberpunk knee replacement already. With the bullet time addon.

Seen a funny systemd of death. Not only does stroer use Linux but I also probably caused this specific issue by making a prototype for another company that was bought by stroer, and they probably never improved it.

I wish people understood that venture capital is actually a net loss for the ruling class. Or maybe, idk, maybe continue to not understand so we have a higher chance of convincing rich heirs that its the next big thing.

So not even LTT pushing linux moves the steam charts. And the main reason remains the same as always: People buy a computer and just use whatever is on there. It's a regulatory problem.

We have cybertruck at home

Someone at work called me the Linus Torwalds of defence and now I'm sad because all Linus does is yell at people who are wrong, but they're still wrong.

Why I love EU? I refound this image today. It is from when the Polish army of fire engines arrived to save Sweden from the largest forrest fire in Swedish history. At this point the Swedish fire departments had lost the fight against the raging fires. 1/3

The deeper the skill tree, the bigger the overlap with trans and furries. That's true for network engineering, cryptography and even Warhammer.

The quantum product: it does everything for everyone until the moment someone actually buys it.

I am scared of people who don't read books. They are alien minds, with entirely different structures.

The great averaging machine is not a person. It's the average output of all persons at best, which makes it fundamentally incapable of art, which is the opposite of averaging.

The real workout is the one we did along the way.

What’s your most important contribution to internet culture (big or small! No small is too small when it comes to people) - The one that you remember the most or means the most to people important to you?

This is the first political poll that gets me

YEET

Oh i get it now. They meant a literal swamp.

Dude I am shook. I just saw a video and it turns out Cheetos are made from ingredients

New groundbreaking research about AI just dropped
