Fuck off, @thdxr.com. Now I have to move away from OpenCode and stop recommending it. I’m asking for the bare minimum here, just don’t give money in support of awful people. DHH really is having a moment huh, founders are climbing up his ass left and right for whatever reason.
Might have finally found my agent-agnostic coding setup after much pain. herdr.dev manages and keeps the actual agent sessions alive locally, Collie (colliepwa.dev) gives me mobile/web access + push notifications. All this runs in a Zed terminal like normal.
Anyone using this? Seems interesting. Opensource and agent harness agnostic way to manage agent runs locally and remotely via web ui. runpane.com
When I see mention of stochastic parrots, I always remember a teacher in high school talking about how parrots can speak, and a student replied, dismissively, “But aren’t they just using words when they want something?” Yes. Yes they are.
I don’t *care* if LLMs are stochastic parrots. It doesn’t fucking matter if they are, holy shit. Sure, they’re a stochastic parrot! The stochastic parrots have made it exponentially easier to ransomware hospitals and are making groundbreaking mathematical proofs! That matters more!
Damn this is the exact opposite of Linus's stance... really disapppointing. So they refuse to use LLM's to port a software to mac which is built using LLM's. Whats worse is that this page looks like it was written by a disgruntled teen.
The copy on this page is one "Thank you for your attention to this matter" and some all-caps screaming away from reading like a POTUS Truth Social post
24 hours with Astra: I attempted to make some targeted changes to a very complex project as part of a larger refactor. Astra seemed to start following the pattern of other LLM's, ie doing stuff thats tangential/unnecessary. This happened several times even after correction.
1 hour with Astra and it's really good so far. Seems to follow directions better, not go on tangents running 20 cli commands for simple questions, so it *feels* a lot quicker/more responsive to interact with.
Seems to be built to grab headlines. "Best in europe" reminds me of the whole "largest in the southern hemisphere" marketing gimmick
Many things there sound weird. Apparently closed model. Perf isn't too impressive. Extremely verbose in AAII. I'm guessing it's some post-trained Chinese or Nemotron model?

I implemented a version of this in a production system years ago(in sql) and it still works like a charm. Anomaly > mean+(stddev*N)
Eamonn Keogh noticed that 1920s-era Statistical Process Control beats recent deep-learning algorithms on the most widely used benchmark in time series anomaly detection. Possibly says more about that benchmark than anything, but indicative imo of modern ML scholarship being weak on baselines.
“I believed that shit 15 years ago” applies to an uncomfortable number of ideas I once held. There are so many opinions I once thought were sophisticated that now just make me wonder what the hell I was thinking. The fun part is knowing I’m almost certainly saying some equally stupid shit right now.

This might be the most beautiful thing I've read in my life. What a privilege to be alive in 2026. ordinaryabundance.com

More actual lifesaving stuff from deepmind, which will probably not get too much coverage outside of nerd circles: deepmind.google/blog/weather...
This is exactly what I needed right now. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
You hate programming and computers unless you use Assembly. Garbage collection is a joke, you're throwing away your reasoning.
I’m convinced that a large % of programmers don’t actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their reasoning to a model as soon as they can. I don’t get it, at ALL.
I think it's the Trump/Elon combo that really broke things. Tesla and Twitter are mostly still fine (on paper) after the CEO went full batshit-nazi. Others in power took notice.
Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.
I'm still building out my agent harness setup, with auto review, diff tracking + ralphloop-like iteration for longer runs. Just hoping I finish in time and get some use of out it before the whole idea is obsolete.
Mythos's oneshot minecraft clone. We are not ready. This is like, the game. One shot. From a single request. Imagine the sideprojects that will move from weekend or weeklong tasks into 15 minute side tasks. Oh also it added multiplayer (see tweet in replies)
