Yeah nah, one of my coworkers was building stuff via TDD yesterday and Claude Code ended up running a test that ran `rm -rf` on his home directory. So dumb shit like this does stil…

I remember when Twitter used to be the place where news broke, because checkmarked accounts actually meant something and news stories were important. Now it's all just slop and AI …

I really wish there was a way to tell all of the algorithms like "I found the info I needed on , STOP SHOWING IT TO ME". You want to buy a new dishwasher, you look up dishwashers, …

Because Obsidian is so barebones out of the box, people look for tools to help them organize things, hence looking for plugins. I have to admit I'm one of those people that just do…

LLMs have not currently "solved" _anything_. Not coding, not writing, not anything.

I've done enough of those trick tests where you're supposed to read the whole thing first and the last step is 'ignore all the other steps'. If I saw that in a test, I would do it.…

I mean in the dead of winter, yes. For six months of the year? Definitely not.

And I'm not conceited enough to claim that it is

> I don't understand how even today software engineers are calling LLM written code slop? It's objectively much better than what most of the engineers write, and it's not stopping …

Yay for the RFDS. If only ground ambulances were as universally awesome

I mean I'm also in Australia and given how few Costcos we have over here, it pretty much is an event because it's not on your way anywhere, you generally have to make a special tri…

As a non-American, all of these threads are utterly fascinating.

They went from 20-30 merged PRs a week to 150! What's in them? Who knows, no-one has read any of them

you think the PS6 will have physical backwards compatibility? oh you sweet summer child

Looks like the PS5 will be the last Sony console I buy.
