thanks to our incredible, futuristic new technology, we have finally invented a way to turn computer programs into a wear part, ensuring software repairpeople will never run out of work to do again

software repairperson, if you like

in the next few months, you and i will get to delete more lines of other people’s broken claudeslop code than a programmer in the 90s would get to delete in his entire career! every man shall be a king!

there’s actually never been a better time to be a professional software engineer. we are in the midst of a Cambrian explosion of weird and stupid bugs you get to go and fix!

some really cool work from my colleagues Andrew Stone and Finch Foner went into making Trust Quorum a reality — their podcast episode on the subject is definitely worth a listen!

yeah i learned this approximately 45 seconds later…

what happened this time

i like how it has a dedicated…binary logarithm peripheral?

GitHub Actions is like gambling but if the dopamine hit didn't exist

every time i see the phrase “host-managed SMR”, i immediately think “you’re telling me a *host* managed this SMR?” but the thing is that, yes, that’s exactly what they’re telling me

same Jefferson Davis or a new one???

did you know they pay me money to do this now? it rocks

meanwhile i have seriously considered getting Real Into this stuff just because it would be a good excuse to build a giant messed up expensive computer, but unfortunately: i still mostly don’t like it

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

you should maybe get a monitor

unfortunately the computer you’re gonna have to build if you wanna run the unquantized DeepSeek model locally is gonna be in the neighborhood of $20k, especially with current DDR5 and flash prices…

Mt. Doom might even be more of a concept than a place

i think there is a potentially pretty useful analogy in reminding people that there’s actually a big difference between asking your friend a question and taking credit for your friend’s work!

this is a very reasonable policy for projects that care about the provenance of contributions without wanting to close the door on the uses of LLMs for information retrieval and such!

You’ll never guess what happened next

so what i am learning from github.com/axios/axios/... is that you should simply never join a Microsoft Teams call for any reason --- because of security

let (pipe1_tx, pipe1_rx) = tokio::net::unix::pipe() .expect("ceci n'est pas une pipe");
