While I don’t disagree that they should be fighting for open source AI, Sanders is hardly “fighting against all AI”. https://jacobin.com/2026/07/ai-nationalization-sanders-liber...

I’ve had a good experience with a greenfield project. The single thing that seems to have helped is that we all agreed to use OpenSpec early on, and to commit the specs alongside the code. I have no affiliation with OpenSpec and I don’t sus

I wish this had non-model comparisons. If Opus 5 is in the top ten, it’s clear that the entire benchmark is somewhere between “Tom Clancy” and “Dan Brown” and about 1,000 new model releases away from Hemingway. When you see, “Wow, Fable is

Nearly 75% of Americans are overweight. (over 30% 'overweight', over 40% 'obese'). Obviously, 75% of Americans do not develop dementia. Do more who are overweight develop dementia than those who are not? Well...it's

I love this theory. "We've invented a new invisible watermark that can detect whether code is LLM written." The watermark: counting instances of 'load-bearing seam', 'the hard truth', 'and that's

We are solving problems, but we're also creating more problems with those solutions. Greenhouse gases, global warming, oil spills, wars over resources, straining power grids, species extinction, worsening mental health, worsening socia

Can anyone explain why Cerberus needs to be _fast_ instead of _cheap_? I don't think I understand why they aren't leveraging the increased speed to do batching to serve more customers at a "normal" tok/s. Is the lim

The assumption is more that, given tools to automate the “less important” parts of important processes, this starts a slippery slope where capitalism will squeeze as many humans as possible out of the job to reduce costs because the “AI is

You can, if you have a trusted build graph. I know that “cone-shaped” checkout tools like this are common in monorepo environments, but unfortunately there aren’t any maintained open source implementations that I’m aware of.

Consumer dollars are worth nothing in tech. All of the money is B2B. B2C businesses exist to support, bootstrap, or grow the value (via ads) of B2B businesses. Vote with your wallet works when you’re talking about local businesses. It doesn

IME, AI does find established patterns more quickly a in monorepo (sometimes the ones you want, sometimes the ones you don't) - but at the cost of an enormous overhead tax you pay on input token cost. Giving agents pointers to the righ

I work at a monorepo company and any time someone gets to work on a project that necessitates working outside of the monorepo, it's a night-and-day improvement. Tools, especially open source ones (linters, static analysis, scanning, LS

They certainly can on Business and Enterprise plans. There’s some lip service to following employee policy and applicable laws, but if the policy allows (most do), and you’re in the US, the admins can do it.

I suspect people who act this way would do so with or without the books. Cargo cult mentality says more about the person than the source material. It’s good to read others’ perspectives and expand your own. It’s even good when you disagree
