I see this comparison a lot, but I’m not sure I agree. At least not semantically. The list of what an engineer using agents is responsible for, largely hasn’t changed. Engineering …

I feel the same about AI with art. Even when it looks “as good”, it just doesn’t interest me. For example, intentionality of someone writing a specific sentence, or composing an im…

Someone less cynical might recognize that people use RAM in a home machine for more than just gaming. Also hobbies are just as important to the human condition as technical advance…

Good catch. Edited the original post.

For what it’s worth, it’s lease to own: > At the end of your initial lease term, you can do one of the following: > Upgrade and return your current device. Footnote ◊ > Leave the p…

Ghostty has what I’d consider to be a reasonable policy. You submit what you want to change and how, explain it in your own words. A trusted member can vouch for you. You can then …

I’m just going off the reasons they gave. Which highlight both copyright and quality. Both of those make sense to me.

Yeah, they kind of hit on this in their main post: > If I use a generative AI tool to create 100 lines of code, and then edit ten of those lines myself, may I contribute the result…

I kind of get their overall point, even if it is ironic that Oracle is all in on AI. They don’t want a ton of contributions to review that weren’t made with care, adding burden to,…

Can someone give me examples of where you use agents in your browser? I’ve heard executive leaders tout that “people use agents to buy things for them” but I haven’t actually seen …

> But for many big complex projects, you can't land code without reviews. Why do you think orgs are pushing less reviews? Token-maxxing increased PRs but stupid meat brains are a c…

> Sources told Gurman that the product would have a ring-shaped design about the size of a hockey puck. The form factor is meant to be battery-powered and portable, so a user could…

I’ve been self-hosting lore and gitea the past 6 months or so and it’s been a breeze. For anything I really care to share I throw up on Tangled.

Off topic but it’s getting crazy how confidently you can point at a websites design and go “An LLM designed this.” Jamverse kind of just reminds me of a less guided SCP wiki? I’m n…

It’s getting prohibitively expensive. Before brokers fees were banned in Boston, a $2,000/mo apartment could have cost you $8000 just to move in . That’s for first, last, security …

I’m not a lawyer. However it probably comes down to jurisdiction.

Best we can do is Wifi to set your timer.

IMO, these agentic guard rails aren't the answer. It seems like we're seeing that the more you stuff context, the more the agents forget and don't follow the guidelines.[1] Things …

Thanks for sharing. Soviet era animation was creepy in its own right. This adaptation doubly so.

We're closer to the stove, kind of. At least with things like Tovala. I've never actually met someone with one though.

Not saying this is a great solution either, though it beats the trackpad + on screen keyboard. I like to VNC into the deck and do these things.

That’s fair about music. I didn’t even know about Qobuz. I do wonder how long big labels will permit that, but I’m glad it’s here now. E-book DRM is crazy, I agree. I should have i…

Of course not. Bad marketing is bad marketing.

Me too. It’s coming to Linux though. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/07/gog-confirm-they-are-w...

The same goes for your business. Your AI “art” isn’t eye catching, at first glance it’s lazy. A longer glance it’s unsettling. We’re heading for a really boring period in graphic d…
