FWIW you can fully replace all the built in commands too. But curious why you think you want to get rid of truncation!

Peter is a friend of mine. I don’t need to extrapolate from a tweet.

The Center Has a Bias Why a measured position on AI tends to lean towards actually trying it.

After the AI Engineer conference, which was full of useful criticism, I remembered that the most confident takes on AI often came from the least exposure. Rejection is easy, trial and error is expensive. I wrote about it. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/4/11/th...

Partitioning and TTLing · Issue #4 · earendil-works/absurd We must persist an immutable expires_at for every task/run/checkpoint/event row and give operators two viable lifecycle strategies: A. Monthly-partitioned queues: each per-queue table is range-part...

The hard part about partitioning here is to drop them concurrently and to crate them cheaply once needed. Partman can’t do either of those (at least partman can’t with pg_cron). See discussion here. github.com/earendil-wor...

"How do agentic coding tools work? I have no idea. And you probably also don't."

That was @mitsuhiko.at opening his talk at PyAI.

What follows is one of the most useful 20 minutes on working with agents we've ever seen.

Oder auch haben seine Eltern ihn eine Einbürgerung ermöglicht. Vor 2006 oder so war das für hier geborene wesentlich einfacher. Die restriktive Staatsbürgerschaft ist erst etwa 20 Jahre alt.

I can tell you that a frictionless experience in onboarding of a product leads to higher churn than one that has at least a bit of friction. Also the IKEA effect works similarly. You put some time in and then you assign it higher value than if you didn’t.

We have been here before though in a way. Rob Landley who maintained Busybox for years, started Toybox precisely to change the license away from GPL. It also triggered a lot of very similar comments and emotions. See lwn.net/Articles/478... bsky.app/profile/mits...

Agree, you might like this post from last year where I argue a lot of the same things but ignoring LLMs: shazow.net/posts/permis...

Copyleft advocates are too concerned about the value of a codebase as a whole monolith for themselves, rather than the effective replacement value to consumers.

The legal foundations of tests are very well established so there is not that much to discuss here.

Which is more a general discussion about the legal grounds of LLMs in general. Not about this port in particular.

A clanker refers to a robot. If others want to put other meanings into the word then it’s their problem.

The model would have done the same job with or without chardet in the training data.
