TheRoque··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
So with LLM outputting average code, and people using LLM more and more, I guess the average code will become worse over time ?
TheRoque··on Gooey: A GPU-accelerated UI framework for Zig
Vulkan is a graphics API, not a UI library or framework. It's way lower level and if your goal is to make a user interface, you're not really supposed to do it with Vulkan (but you could i guess)
TheRoque··on Roughly a quarter of American professionals hit a wall in their careers
Are you talking about the end of the Bretton-Woods agreement?

I mean, it's cherry picked, but still funny to see all those charts.

TheRoque··on Codex just found a "workaround" of not having sudo on my PC
It's already here, mobile OSes are just computers with ton of guardrails and you can't do whatever you want with it, for the sake of security. I mean we almost got an Android where you can't install the APK you want.
TheRoque··on Claude Code as a Daily Driver: Claude.md, Skills, Subagents, Plugins, and MCPs
What's the standard for a "battle station" interface to manage agents for programming (using isolation with maybe git work tree and ideally VMS ?)

I found this one: do you guys know something else ?

TheRoque··on Does anybody like React?
I use Angular 2+, and I find it quite pleasant to use. I also like how they make the framework evolve. Not scared to have opinions (back when it came out, Typescript was barely a thing). Never got into React (but didn't try that hard to get into it), but it seems like it's a huge bloated mess.
TheRoque··on Rendering the Sky, Sunsets, and Planets
For me the most amazing thing about Sebastian Lague is how the youtube algorithm can screw you up. He used to do millions of view on his videos, and now he barely makes half a million. Well it might also be because of covid, and everyone at home getting interesting in random stuff.
TheRoque··on Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc
Well not really, since the board game itself doesn't need a paid human to work. It's been crafted by a human, but video games are also crafted by (arguably many more) humans. The closest would be escape games, or larger scale games maybe
TheRoque··on Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc
What's the human form of a video game ?
TheRoque··on Zig → Rust porting guide
Why didn't they use Rust in the first place then ? All this was true before AI
TheRoque··on Changes to GitHub Copilot individual plans
Ah good catch. I like their CLI too. Though sometimes it feels like they take security a bit too loosely
TheRoque··on Changes to GitHub Copilot individual plans
Which service provides this one for a decent cost ?
TheRoque··on Changes to GitHub Copilot individual plans
Which providers do you use ? I find copilot's prices pretty hard to beat, but if there's something better I'll cancel too.
TheRoque··on AI could be the end of the digital wave, not the next big thing
I cringe every time I read this "punch card" narrative. We are not at this stage at all. You are comparing deterministic stuff and LLMs which are not deterministic and may or may not give you what you want. In fact I personally barely use autonomous Agents in my brownfield codebase because they generate so much unmaintainable slop.
TheRoque··on Lichess and Take Take Take Sign Cooperation Agreement
True However a french chess streamer I follow had an interesting take: since Lichess is all free, all the content is computer generated, or low quality. Apparently, some content even was just stolen content from other paid platforms. His take is basically that Chess.com gives out money to many chess actors (teachers, coaches, book writers) while lichess is not helping the whole ecosystem make money. Anyways competition is good.
TheRoque··on Lichess and Take Take Take Sign Cooperation Agreement
Huge respect to Lichess. Open source, no ads, super clean interface and super functional website. Chess.com is a pain to use compared to it.

All their finances are also public: https://lichess.org/costs

TheRoque··on Run Linux containers on Android, no root required
With this I could in theory do all my work from my Android phone.
TheRoque··on Cursor 3
But the endgame is not here and will likely never be, because unlike ASM, LLMs are not deterministic. So what happens when you need to find the bug in the 100,000k LoC you generated in a few weeks that you've never read, and the agent can't help you ? And it happens a lot. I am not doing this myself so I can't comment, but I've heard many vibe coders commenting that a lot of the commits they do is about fixing the slop they outputted a week prior.

Personally, I keep trying OpenCode + Opus 4.6 and I don't find it that good. I mean it does an OK job, but the code is definitely less quality and at the moment I care too much about my codebase to let it grow into slop.

TheRoque··on Men are ditching TV for YouTube as AI usage and social media fatigue grow
Youtube is also pretty boring though. I mean, there are ton of interesting content and quality content too, but the stuff that gets recommended, the "hype stuff" is full of false information, clickbait, tweaked reality to conform some narrative...
TheRoque··on OpenAI demand sinks on secondary market as Anthropic runs hot
Your logic is flawed, comparing them doesn't mean anything about their absolute valuation, they could be both overvalued or both undervalued too
TheRoque··on Microsoft: Copilot is for entertainment purposes only
Sure, but which copilot ? The one in my code editor ? The one in my OS ? The one in my sheets editor ?
TheRoque··on Neovim 0.12.0
How do you achieve this behavior ? Sorry I haven't done researchs on it because so the answer might be super easy, but I'm curious what's your solution
TheRoque··on Neovim 0.12.0
Edit the agents slop
TheRoque··on People inside Microsoft are fighting to drop mandatory Microsoft Account
13 inch screen though.. it's really small

And with 8GB of RAM you are quite limited in the business sector as you say

TheRoque··on Hold on to Your Hardware
The risk of copper shortage is a very well know fact https://press.spglobal.com/2026-01-08-Substantial-Shortfall-... You're into renewables, yet you can't grasp the fact that resources are limited on this planet ? That's peculiar.

And I don't even understand your other points to be honest. What do you mean "consumer vehicles" ? Are you taking about individual's cars ? I'm not taking about that, these don't matter that much. I'm taking about trucks, boats, planes, the stuff actually shipping you your lifestyle.

TheRoque··on Anatomy of the .claude/ folder
So that's what "software engineering" has become nowadays ? Some cargo cult basically. Seriously all of this gives red flag. No statements here are provable. It's just like langhchain that was praised and then everyone realized it's absolute dog water. Just like MCP too. The job in 2026 is really sad.
TheRoque··on Hold on to Your Hardware
Renewables provide electricity only, but planes, boats, trucks, basically all the supply chain, works with oil only for the moment. The ease of use of oil has not been replaced yet. Do you realize how easy it is to handle oil ? You can just put it in a barrel and ship it anywhere in that barrel. No need for wires or complex batteries like for electricity, nor complex pipelines like for gas.

And even if we figured out how to electrify everything (which we didn't as I just said), we would still run into resources shortages for batteries, wires (copper etc.), nuclear fuel (uranium)...

TheRoque··on Hold on to Your Hardware
We are on borrowed time, most of the world is running on oil and this resource is not unlimited at all. A lot of countries have gone past their production peak, meaning it's only downhill from here. Everything is gonna be more costly, more expensive, our lavish "democracies" lifestyles are only possible because we have (had) this amazing freely available resource, but without it it's gonna change. Even at a geopolitical scale you can see this pretty obviously, countries that talked about free market, free exchange are now starting to close the doors and play individually. Anyways, my point is, we are in for decades, if not a century of slow decline.
TheRoque··on Epic Games to cut more than 1k jobs as Fortnite usage falls
Would it be possible that they become less generous with unreal engine and its free tier ? Right now it's 5% beyond 1 million revenue, free before.
TheRoque··on How I'm Productive with Claude Code
Both links are the same, SWC in this context is probably Speedy Web Compiler. It transpiles really fast but doesn't do any type checks.
