Guys. Guys, you got it all wrong. We don't want to ban open-weight models! We just want to ban the competition guys! Very different. -- The ridiculous anthropic/openai strategy of …

Hi leerob, Where is the support thread? I have ticket T-D95851 at the moment, if you could get someone to resolve it. I do not want to use cloud agents. Thanks zk

Just hit this today and I'm furious. I installed the Cursor iOS app to see what it had. I've been on `Privacy Mode (Legacy)` for a long time, which is the "Do not store my code" se…

AI slop article. It wasn't just X. It was Y. Also, $500/mo for 64GiB of RAM and 16 mystery meat CPUs. LOL! You guys are all being ripped off and you don't even know it.

All of these replies are AI slop.

AI slop article, sorry.

It's just not what the word axiom means nor how anyone uses it. An axiom is unprovable by definition - is it a thing we accept to be true because it is useful to do so (e.g. there …

Jesus Christ. We've made the psychosis machine.

I just don't understand how this can be this slow. What on earth is it doing to get 193 requests per second on static, cached content? The article doesn't dig too deep into this sa…

But this isn't even true, and NextJS is well into egregiously complexity. Remix was an alternative option in the space that is now deprecated in all-but-name for React Router v7, w…

The blog post you've linked doesn't justify what you've said about it at all. In the netflix blog post they're complaining about increasing latency over time because they have a fu…

Extremely misleading title. The software in question is the winning entry in a hackathon from 2020: https://github.com/DevrathIyer/ballotproof Inside that repo they have a script c…

I'm in the same boat. Where did you move to?

An interesting one is "bread" to refer to money; I believe it comes from cockney rhyming slang. Bread and Honey = Money.

cargo is a bad example as it's universally `cargo build`. Make on its own is great but most of the time I've worked with C projects it's been cmake/autotools + global pkg installs,…

That makes sense to be honest, I thought it was intentional but then seeing so many other maths errors in other DFW works led me to believe it might very well not be.

There's quite a lot of mathematical mistakes (obvious ones, even) in DFWs work. I'm not sure whether it's intentional or not, but given that he also makes mistakes in his nonfictio…

I'll bite: What specific parts of rust syntax do people find so ugly? I keep hearing this from decent chunks of people who don't write rust, but the language doesn't seem that far …

[...] You've heard of the Kirghiz Light? well that's the ass end of a firefly compared to what we're gonna—oh, you haven't heard of the—oh, well, too bad. [...]

Could you give any examples of syntax you've hit that didn't make sense or seemed awful?

an errant comma after the last object property doesn't cause any issues

Tools win not because they are "better" in some platonic ideal of a programming language but because they are more practical for solving the problems people have. Python, JS, C, Ba…
