https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MU6q9G0Sf0 I would rather speak to this man than anyone reading anything AI-written

When I first started reading seminal works in Distributed Computing, I picked up the original (The Part-time Parliament) and it started off pretty well with the made up story of fi…

AI slop comment

I for one, am absolutely fascinated with Tron Legacy. It was the first Tron movie I saw as a kid in middle school. In some ways, it's responsible for the trajectory of my career. A…

Dwarves of Moria get swole

sure.. WWDC also has "Developers Conference" in its name.

Watching these bland presentations with choreographed delivery and reading off a prompt off-screen (I'm not completely sure they're doing this, but it looks like it) makes me appre…

He just... highlighted Avatar. He clicked the dropdown menu, and then he randomly selected Papyrus. Like a...Like a thoughtless child just wandering by a garden, just yanking leave…

I was going for a "they performed surgery on a grape" thing but it seems I missed the mark

they put RISC-V in a soldering iron?

For anyone pining for innovation in Desktop, a small part of this culture is still alive in Ricing competitions. A recent favorite of mine is this one. Timestamp starts at the fina…

Thanks for whoever preserved these! The CartoonNetwork website was one of my most fondest memories from my childhood. These days the official website redirects to their YouTube cha…

Valid point. We have minimum age requirements set on some rules to avoid absorbing every latest change instantly.

Oops, my bad. We keep calling it Renovator internally but the name is RenovateBot or Renovate. https://docs.renovatebot.com/

Who are their highly funded closed-source competitors they claim Warp cannot beat on price? Warp is the only closed source terminal product I know of. Most other popular terminal e…

I feel pretty happy we use Renovator (EDIT: It's Renovate) at my current workplace which by default will raise PRs to change any tags for actions with the SHA instead. Then, even w…

Why does documentation require hosting it on a server? My assumption is that it's a static site, and as such, even GitHub Pages would be sufficient. I know... all content has to be…

I decided to get back into reading two years ago and I picked this as one of the first ones to get started with, given it was a small book. I absolutely love Arthur C. Clarke's sty…

I seriously believe that it's not that GitHub is run on AI-generated code that's responsible for these slew of outages recently. I think it's crumbling under the load of a signific…

I place considerable doubt on claims of LLMs improving the user's thought process. Especially since everyone harps on about it but never provides concrete evidence. If your thinkin…

There's a research paper from the University of Liverpool, published in 2006 where researchers asked people to draw bicycles from memory and how people overestimate their understan…

If that's the goal, the technology for how these agents "learn" would be the most interesting one, even more than the demos in the link. LLMs can barely remember the coding style I…

Servers, Ready to Eat

You only notice this stuff if you use shell very often, and practically live in the command line. Since I started my career I've been using omz and a fresh install is always snappy…
