I like the craft but I enjoy making products more. Working for 5 years on some tool chain/libraries has been great in terms of “technical” satisfaction but it would have been even more rewarding to build successful products with all th

Russia-Ukraine war is important for Europe and perhaps should for the US as well but you can well see that’s not that important for Israel for example. Nobody cares about Maduro saga because it’s not worth it to upset the U.S for obvious no

I think the rhetorical answer is why should we care if Iran is doing bad stuff around? Is that enough to start a war with Iran? We don’t care if Trump is doing a deal with criminals to steal oil from Venezuela either so why should the world

Yeah, like this zombie civilisation: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i2k7KQ5L5Jg I am not sure if you can say it’s raising or falling by their posture

I think the world will start mediating but not in the way you think/want. They will just divest from the U.S., slowly but surely so that when the next U.S clown start messing around they don’t have to flatter it anymore.

I doubt that the world will subscribe to the idiocy of the current US admin. China will just push harder for renewables while Europe and the rest of the world will try to coup with the shock but I am certain they won’t go to war with Iran b

I think it just proves them right. China seems to be doing OK partly due renewables push. But what do I know, electrification is a Chinese hoax.

Besides a better camera what all this along with the past generations have so exciting ? I just fail to see a reason to upgrade. Maybe I am getting old?

Ok so another “better” smartphone. To me it is very hard to get excited about the new smartphones. It really seems they have nothing new. I mean you have Apple Pay on any old iPhone and the software is more or less the same, the battery mor

They stole my idea. I was working exactly on this! What should I do now?

A Mac studio ultra with linux is the best computer I ever had. The only small thing that I miss is the copy/paste from iphone to the computer sync. It seems to me really that there is no going back to macOS any time soon. I don’t think

Spoiler alert: TheGuardian found out that the water is wet and that most of the “western” countries have relied on U.S military for their security in a kind of “collective” mechanism since WW2. Next article should be about UK’s dependence o

But that would be impossible due copyrights laws. If the law would apply Anthropic and OpenAI executives would be in jail

Yes, train your model to give people more AI slop until they get sick of it

Is this sarcasm on AI companies?

At this point I wonder why Google still releases proprietary models. They are behind the open models.

I do very security cyber dangerous work like building a signup/login form or setting up a certificate. For obvious and good reasons Fable refuses to work on such sensitive stuff.

We all seem to be building this kind of Orbs or whatever you want to call a harness with some user interface. I am at version 4 and I have a “open in vscode” button on each task/orb/instance just in case the UI is not enough and y

I agree. But I think I would also like the OS to put a fingerprint (I.e committed on macOSX in /usr/marc/… while he was watching porn on xxx). This way we can get the full context by default and better understand the PRs.

The reason for this mess is because individual countries want to retain some kind of control over the whole thing such as VAT/tax investigations and implementation of the laws. In a way it’s the “worst” of both worlds federated and ind

I advise the other half of the team to be kept on stand by for the major refactoring when the slop would just get stuck in the mud due to its weight.

The politics are about compromises. China “caved” as well but that’s just one battle “lost”. In the long term the world will adjust to the new reality. As a simple example take the oil crisis from 1970s. The U.S adjusted and now is the worl

When I started learning Go I went all in including using the recommended editor (acme editor) which has no syntax highlighting, no autocomplete and a very different way of writing code. My production went down a lot but the quality of the c
