I used the net much more intellegently back when it was paid by the minute. But it would be hard to go back to that.

That remains to be seen. The whole concept is still in its infancy. An AI reviewer should have caught these issues when they were PRs. But you see, it wasn't even a PR. It was just DHH making a straight up commit on the main branch (as

Yes, I know. That is quite juvenile.

Even worse. They don't even have AI review them. I fed the commits that introduced the problem to a few frontier models and they saw several problems, including the aforementioned security problem. Even Mistral saw it. I did have to in

If only their stuff could reliably run Linux on the release day.

Seems like they just released 1.4 though.

Are the Rust programmers who suffered from memory leaks through reference cycles in the room with you right now?

What are the standards for determining that? The most obvious benefit Rust can give them is being safe from memory leaks. This is hardly controversial: it has been a Zig design choice that memory leaks are the developer/user's res

This isn't a Linux problem, per se. I've been using Linux since 1996. It's because you're using XFCE, which might be one of the last desktops to adapt to Wayland. Mint has similar problems, they have also dragged their f

Like AOC has said (and Mamdani apparently supported), "Woke 1.0 was crazy". https://www.axios.com/2026/08/12/aoc-democratic-socialists-2...

Twitter's acquisition seems to me like an attempt to acquire the most efficient propaganda tool on the planet.

Makes sense to deploy counterpropaganda. They haven't been doing great online.

I think it's possible, but probably beyond my capability of imagination, so I cannot give a satisfying answer beyond this.

Obviously the right thing to do. How to reliably do it might be a bit difficult, but fortunately a ban doesn't have to be 100% effective to be beneficial.

There is going to be something that would not have existed without LLM because there wouldn't have been enough resources to create it before. Probably already is. Some of it will be amazing, although most of it probably not. Example: Q

I don't know, sometimes programming language choices seem to be in the realm of theology, not computer science or engineering. What is more hurtful than somebody else making wrong religious choices?

I'm on the same page with you that their AI stance is probably harmful for them -- but I think they wrote those as a reaction to the contributions from Bun and others. So your implied timeline is not entirely correct.
26.
by vga1 2mo ago
I think the mistake people are making currently is that they publicize stuff way too early. I.e. they make a prototype and then put that out there. Possibly with a full product page and all. People did this also before LLM, but the differen

Good old "fire everyone then fire yourself" style of downsizing.

The sad part is that my previous robot (iRobot model from 3 years ago) was better at this.

Please oh please try to make Kärcher adopt your stuff. Even their latest premium cleaning bots are hopeless when they don't know where they are, even when I tell them where they are. Or, I don't know, make your own vacuums.

>all nu-media appears to be populated almost exclusively by nu-people. Which would be fixed by more people joining there. Those people are a vanishing minority after all in the real world.
