Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

Yes, incompetence of people building systems being hacked. This is not new. A lot of human-built systems are not well built. AI is very good at poking holes. Nothing to do with consciousness or being rogue. If nothing else, AI is very good at destroying human-built systems. This IS the story

💯 This is pretty much where I stand on AI

We've been cooking at @ersc.io "What comes after git" ersc.io/blog/what-co...

.@mainmatter.com has an all-star Rust team available immediately. After some budget hiccups at one of our clients, we happen to have a well-established team of Rust experts around that's ready to go immediately. 1/🧵

It would be a shame if somebody were to have already downloaded it on multiple devices and also share a link for others to download it :) drive.proton.me/urls/18WJXSR...

Are we mad at this because they’re rich or because women are only good parents if they sacrifice everything for 18 years? It’s odd seeing all the men quoting this to dunk on it and call it ridiculous. This is pretty honest about the emotional and physical labour required for raising children

If Mete is eliminated it’s assets would be sold. Probably to Oracle or some other equity abhorrent company. Or is there a scenario where FB actually shuts down?

De ce que je comprends c’est aussi coupé pour les américains, l’injonction du gouvernement étant basé sur la nationalité et non sur le territoire, et donc impossible d’appliquer en pratique 🤪🤦‍♂️🤣🤷‍♂️

I am so mad about this. AI coding tools can be put to *great* use, and THIS ISN'T IT. Great AI use case: "help me find my bugs before my users find them" Not great AI use case: "half-ass my job for me"

Just turned in final revisions on "AND LOKI IN HIS PRISON" It's going to exist at last, everyone!!! Big, deeply-built, intricate Norse myth fantasy. Book 1 of "HANGED GOD'S GAME" Coming from Tor Books Summer 2027

When I spotted this set on the lego website (I was shopping for duplo for my daughter) it took me less than then 5 min to decide that I needed this 😅

Toasty, an async ORM for Rust, is now on crates.io. This is the blog post that I promised: tokio.rs/blog/2026-04.... Happy to answer any questions here.

Everyone is trying to argue this but this creator is a Christian who has said that movies shouldn't have "an agenda" and I think people need to think a little bit harder about the internal consistency of religious belief systems. There is no conflict here

Si vous n’êtes pas abonnés à Libé ou que vous voulez directement signer cette pétition, hébergée par le site de l’Assemblée Nationale (et donc avec un nombre de signature « sécurisé »), c’est par ici :

the whole point of technology is to subvert "the natural order," because the natural order is disease and decay and suffering and famine

Guys, it’s fine. It’s probably DNS. Or BGP. Or us-east-1 Frankly, the entire Internet is made of duct tape and popsicle sticks held together by bubble gum and string and it’s amazing that anything ever works at all

How to think about Gas Town: steveklabnik.com/writing/how-...

I have Gas Town derangement syndrome and spent the last few weeks writing thousands of words on agent orchestration patterns; how they shift our bottlenecks and force us to ask whether and when we should stop looking at code maggieappleton.com/gastown

You should probably write Haskell using Claude Code 🎉

I don’t understand many takes I see on how US actions in Venezuela create precedence for Russia, China or Iran. They already doing it. Especially Russia. They tried to grab Zelensky several times. China will try something like this in Taiwan when they are ready. They don’t need Trump’s example

Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

A lot of people are posting things about how bad it is to rely on AI for lit reviews but also as a society we have made it extremely difficult for non-scholars to access bodies of literature!! Of course people want this!

Maybe this will make it clearer: We went from horse and buggy to interplanetary rockets with less money, time, and human labour than we did as an industry moving from spreadsheets in a TUI to spreadsheets in a GUI That should be fucking shameful as an industry. wtf is going on??

I hear this often, but if people were trying to replace programming languages why would they be trying to generate so much programming language output though? I think it's pretty clear that people want multiple things here

France ⛴️ US 🚂 US ⛴️ China 🚂 Russia 🚂 France, so I guess -1

(fil/1) À la lumière de ce qu’il faudra hélas appeler "l’affaire Théry" une série de constats s’imposent, certainement pas pour se réjouir de sa suspension ou du terrible fiasco plus général pour une partie de la gauche universitaire, mais pour ne pas laisser le monopole des réactions aux réacs

Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.

Disco Elysium is truly the most leftist game of all time, the studio immediately collapsing into bitter infighting demonstrates the depth of its authenticity

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

Ezra didn't have to say anything; no one would care. But he did. So now you can choose whether he thinks the existential threat to basically any minority that Kirk spent his career selling is no big deal—or "No People Involved"—or if he was born on the plastic-plugs-in-the-sockets baby idiot planet.

Ah oui les petits villages de 250 habitants où tu peux pas changer de marque de lessive sans que tout le monde le sache au bout de 6 heures mais incapables de trouver qui insulte une lesbienne, je connais.

@marcoroth.dev Hi! Thank you for your work on Herb! Do you know of any good resources on migrating big haml code bases to erb?

The reality is many task skills we learn, we forget and then need to learn again. The reality is that all modern careers are strange historically situated ways of doing things, not inherently The Best Way for our minds. Hell screens aren't even good for our eyes and it's not like we've fixed that.
