The short version I give to non-technical people who ask me about whether "AI will replace coding" is this: it accelerates you. You can get much further much more quickly. If you d…

I think the biggest issue here is that the judges clearly have no taste.

Yes, but Norway is a very rich country because of all the resources they can just extract from the ground. Australia.. wait, never mind.

Nearly 50% of vehicles sold in Australia in the last quarter were EVs or plug-in hybrids: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-02/electric-vehicle-ev-s...

"Load-bearing assumption" was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

This is fascinating, whatever it is. The discussion of Glasswing in particular gives it the feeling of something bigger than just a hallucination, but unless you work at Anthropic …

Yes, fascinating that this is apparently all the fault of Chinese companies, and not the American companies distributing and retailing these products.

I don't know where you get the idea this is a nation state attack. The devices are used to sell proxy services and scam advertisers. This doesn't even need particularly large organ…

Nothing says land of the free like being told you're not allowed to buy good cars or good vacuums.

This could have been a decent article if it hadn't been run through the AI slop machine. If I wanted to read writing this bad I would have just asked ChstGPT myself. It's so hard t…

You've misunderstood completely. No-one expects compensation. In reality, if you had a high enough limit anyway (ie, you bought a big enough plan), a reset makes no difference to y…

And unlike OpenAI, Anthropic don't seem to reset weekly usage quotas after an outage. Anthropic seem to be both letting their competitors outplay them and making unforced errors (l…

How do you explain this website containing all the stolen buttons then?

I don't know if the poster changed the filter after reading your comment, but the filter that is there now looks great to my eyes.

Seems like a great idea for an Immich plugin. I'm really not convinced I or anyone I know would _pay_ for AI to guess the date a photo was taken though.

I can't be the only one smiling at the mention of file_id.diz

But very expensive compared to Deepseek v4 Pro, which performs similarly. Grok is stuck in a difficult place - not the best model at anything, and not the cheapest either. It's har…

Yep, I'm in full agreement. When extending functionality of some already existing code it also generally makes sense to write tests first. I think the value is much lower (maybe ev…

Sure. If his take was "100% unit test coverage is a waste of time" I think that's not unreasonable. You could make a case that the "you must write tests before you write code, ever…

I feel like listening to Theo about anything technical is like consulting a Labrador retriever for advice on quantum physics. Every time I've ever seen one of his videos it's prett…

Agreed. I often take a look at the skills and maybe take something from there to create a more minimal version that does just enough for my needs and nothing more. YAGNI is definit…

This argument doesn't stand up to much scrutiny. - The Polestar vehicles most recently banned are made in Charleston SC - Fossil fuel industries in the US receive huge subsidies - …

I don't see how you can make a case for a $700bn+ IPO when the government might not even let you sell your product. America is ceding the lead in the AI race. The winners here will…
