In the next months I'll provide you with a Hacker News replacement that I'll run myself and I'll guarantee personally: no benefit for whatsoever individual, a team of 10/20 persons since the start, from different time zones, clear rules, total transparency, and a "karma" system.
Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010
My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

Der etwas persönlichere Abriss zur Hamburger #AgenticConf am vergangenen Wochenende, stilecht im vibe-gecodeten Blog mit dem verbrannten Geruch herrlich bunter Pyrotechnik.
What’s confusing is that CUDA’s moat still seems intact. Shouldn’t we be using AI to help migrate toward a more open standard like SYCL?
Hard truth
I spent 2 months learning about quantization and am extremely proud of the post I've written about it. I think these are some of the nicest visuals I've ever made, and I love how this compression technique invented in 1898 is being used on the bleeding edge in 2026.

3D-printing human cartilage replacement, just wow! Bioprinting makes so much sense, much more than printing meat to eat. 3druck.com/forschung/et...
A nuanced article on using agents for medical advice. The knowledge of how this magical machine is built helps you understand its limitations. coorasse.com/blog/how-ai-...
I haven't made anything with AT Proto yet, neither. But it seems I'm not the only one who's planning to build something on top of it. Too fascinating for nerds like us! macwright.com/2026/03/16/a...
After 20 years on iOS, I switched to Android. The app I miss most? Apple Maps. Not because it's better — because it has a personality. It optimizes for pleasant drives, not shaving off seconds. Same principle now applies to AI tools.

Wow, das ist absoluter Zufall, aber ein toller Zufall!
Yeah, the MacBook Neo looks cute. But it's telling how afraid the new Apple has become, that they go for such a low margin product. It's clearly a preemptive maneuver to counter Google's Aluminium OS devices.
Glimpse of a utopia:
FOSS won. Code projects, even those which are human-written, are mostly maintained by AI. Feature requests, issue tracking, CI/CD, and pull requests are all managed by agentic systems. Discussions are steered in productive directions, not driven by ego. Drama is rare.
I hate the re-soloing of development. We were so close to learning social skills, creating community, encouraging creativity & purpose, & applying empathy. Easier to manage if each of us is so busy with our genieswarms that we don't have time to talk & reflect.
“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”
Armin and Ben are back for their third episode. High signal to noise ratio. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0SY...
Go is full of nifty little helpers, this time govulncheck. This makes a lot of sense to avoid update fatigue. It's also an interesting perspective into how purely more automation doesn't make everything better. It also corresponds with a lot of noise easily. words.filippo.io/dependabot/
Thanks for the repost!
Interesting to see Ubuntu picking up the local LLM opportunity. Packaging everything in a Snap looks comfortable, but almost too rigid for my taste. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CYm...
There's a story going around right now that goes something like this: AI makes us so efficient that we'll soon have more free time than we know what to do with.
It's a nice story. I don't think it's what's going to happen.

Sad news: Our early bird offering is over.
Good news: Time to announce the first speakers! Super happy to give you a sneak peak on the first confirmed speakers. More details on each speaker coming in the next days, so make sure to follow me, so you don't miss them!

Watched this yesterday. Good overview, really happy I deleted the app on my phone and only occasionally read up on individuals there, what a shithole.
How should people backup and monitor their self hosted instances, do you have recommendations for this?
The free, open-source alternative to Meetup. Create groups and events for your community — no fees, no ads, community-owned forever. ATproto continues to impress me, maybe we can try this out for our Agentic Coding Meetup Hamburg soon. openmeet.net/running-a-pd...
Half joking: This is what it's like to be a senior technical leader.
Ex-GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke launches his new startup. Not entirely convinced they found the perfect solution already, but looking at their speed of implementation, this could get interesting. entire.io/company
