Brasil, danos una buena noticia.

Serious reactionary minds, such as Nicolas Gomez Davila, know the past can not be restored. But they refuse to accept historical victory as proof of superiority. Have I become an AI reactionary?

The way AI has been adopted by the industry makes it so that, if you actually want to learn any subject in depth, you have to do it on your own damn time.

"The culture on X today is remarkably friendly and inclusive. It is a cheerful place"

All this talk about Bluesky needing to figure out how to attract more users reminded me that I wrote this.

Isnt the PDS designed around human scale use? Repos are built to hold millions of records, not hundreds of millions. Relays need quotas. The whole thing assumes a person publishing a finite amount of stuff, not machines regurgitating slop 24/24. Why are we pretending these are the same use case?

if uttering insults for an LLM to process is “abuse”, what do you call making the LLM work for free?

If you hit your toe on a bed frame corner please remember that bed frames deserve to be treated with respect.

Every AI whiteknighting post in this platform starts with “There’s plenty of reasons to criticize the AI industry but…” and then the author never criticizes the AI industry in any substantial way.

Owning your identity and data is (or should be) atproto big selling point for users. Why else would we as developers use it? It actually makes building apps (slightly) more inconvenient than a regular centralized architecture! The trade-off only makes sense if users are aware of it.

Can the people calling for "better AI critics" give us a hint about what they actually have in mind? Other than “Sam Altman bad” and “capitalism bad” (they are bad, of course).

Apple’s TOS requires apps that offer “Login with ” to also support Sign in with Apple. I wonder how this applies to ATProto apps.. 🤔

So “why not add it to humanity’s understanding?” begs the question. A machine-checkable certificate has been added to humanity’s archive. Whether it has been added to human understanding is precisely the issue. Proof is not merely certification; mathematics is not merely a database of truths.

qui sera la demain au Grizzly Fuzz pour la soirée electorale?

jfc, this is insane

Brutal but accurate.

I hold these two views simultaneously: 1. The combustion engine is useful technology 2. Car-centric cities are dysfunctional and, on balance, harmful to the people who live in them I hold essentially the same view about LLMs

no one is going to take your beloved AI models away from you, don’t be silly. the people who hold the power have not only decided that you have the right to use them, they have decided you _will_ use them. No need to be afraid of the anti-datacenter hippies.

wild how we moved from “don’t worry, good engineers will review the code that AI writes anyway” to “code does not matter, it is a compilation target” in a matter of weeks.

We’re now in the “writing code by hand considered harmful” stage of AI.

my compiler went rogue

I’m sure there were fringe voices 100% opposed the combustion engine. But I also bet there were people who foresaw the US becoming dysfunctionally car-centric and were dismissed as luddites

At the end of the day, the question is: is there still value in humans expressing computation in unambiguous languages?

I just moved the sentiment analysis for my feed generators (slrpr.xyz) from a custom amazon's nova-micro prompt to jev. We'll see. #atproto #jev

Why is SUPER + Q the default shortcut for a terminal in hyprland, that's insane.

Increasingly convinced that napkin notes are now the source and that specs are artifacts akin to lockfiles. Because why not.

One thing I am convinced of about AI is this: we’re reaping the benefits now, while the real collective costs are being deferred.

my conspiracy theory: AI progress is hitting asymptotic returns and the AI leaders calling for a “slowdown” is just the industry’s way of preemptively justifying why the next models will be only marginally better.

I miss when a good-looking README or website was actually a decent signal that a project was serious

I love @antirez.bsky.social work but I think I’ll trust Tao on this. @antirez.bsky.social is ignoring how incentives work.

increasingly frustrated by the take that those of us who aren't fully opposed to the tech but have serious concerns about it are just a group of liars who are incapable of holding to our principles or articulating our concerns. there is space here to disagree and you can't hand wave away the harms.

DRISL serialization in common-lisp: github.com/sgarciac/cl-... #atproto

A lot of current AI feels like "If we want a machine to cut paper, we first need to give an LLM-agent hands so it can use scissors"

remember when openclaw was going to change the world?

github.com/neovim/neovi... The VERY first comment by the maintainer here is the kind of shit you only learn at fascist PR school. Immediate reframing + door slam. Irreparable damage to neovim's reputation...

on this Lake America idiocy, I will only say this: Treating the highest office as a reality show casting call and electing a clown makes a travesty of liberal democracy. This is not simply about Trump, the whole system is rotten. Reasoned debate my ass.

Has the open source community ever reckoned with the fact that it made a hero out of ESR, that dumb racist fuck?

goat

I wonder what Norvig thinks of this nowdays: www.norvig.com/21-days.html In the age of AI, why bother?

Dark hours indeed

the corporations will be alright, they don’t need you to defend them on bluesky
