UnfitFootprint··on Transit rewards
Excluding the fact that drug addicts are still humans deserving love, care and the opportunity to recuperate - fostering a clean & safe transit environment is practically a solved problem internationally.

Maybe the moral depravity of SF breeds truly irredeemable addicts, but as someone whos met a lot of troubled people and ridden a lot of public transit your statement seems alarmingly and unhelpfully critical

UnfitFootprint··on MiMo v2.6
Yeah it’s a shame a lot of these benchmarks are behind. My favourite was ‘SlopCodeBench’ [1] as I’m most interested in ai reinforcing its own bad decisions, but it’s not even up to current gen oai

UnfitFootprint··on Small programming tricks
The printed copy lets you build a spatial association with the command. You are more likely to be able to look up and have your eyes settle roughly where it is than write a query on a custom site.

I think for a digital solution to come close you need it permanently present on a nth monitor

UnfitFootprint··on Xiaomi: New CPU matches Apple cores single threaded, much faster multithreaded
decreasing perf makes stomaching OS upgrades hard… I can’t remember a time I didn’t resent having to do a major version bump of my OS.

Is this just any Jetbrains IDE file history?
UnfitFootprint··on GCC steering committee announces AI policy
It’s definitely interesting watching the OSS and commercial world swing in seemingly opposite directions on this. It would be nice to see some companies sharing more balanced successful practices they’ve implemented with AI
UnfitFootprint··on Atomarine: Nuclear Data Centers at Sea
Genuinely, have these guys done anything other than AI generated ship pictures? The top down ones look like they didn’t even use a good model.

I’d be stunned if anyone takes this seriously

UnfitFootprint··on Proof of Care in the Age of A.I
Not to mention accessibility, which as usual benefits everyone with features such as text search, so I guess we‘ll keep looking for an answer.

Typewriters?

UnfitFootprint··on LARP – Revenue infrastructure for serious founders
Not that I’ve ever partaken in any US startup, but $30/m? If the employees are earning average YC salary that seems like a drop in the ocean, even with 5-6 subscriptions
UnfitFootprint··on We scaled PgBouncer to 4x throughput
except for perhaps… a scalable pg bouncer? And good nuclear reactors [1]?

Not to say I support many Russian political moves, but I think discrediting an entire people and their outputs on Russian politics is brusque - particularly open source ones.

Right, that changes the reading

I would so love to visit, but I read an increase in tensions a few years ago caused a tourism stoppage
UnfitFootprint··on How to Survive 3 Years in North Korea as a Foreigner
I was fascinated to learn while visiting they consider themselves ‘at war’ and generations from a unified time still strongly believe in the cause.

In tech specifically this leads to some surprising results such as transit planning being very ineffective or broken in google maps due to onshore data storage requirements. Subway alignments are regarded as sensitive info

Why would you not base your first impressions of a product on the way it chooses to describe itself? It’s not feasible to install everything you lay eyes on for evaluation, and reviews often assume you already assume the product is a good fit and want to evaluate quality/validity of that assumption
UnfitFootprint··on GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra will be in Codex
The top comment on the thread explains this will involve subagent to subagent comms.

To what effect I don’t know… I thought subagents were useful because they were explicitly single purpose and bound to a narrow context

UnfitFootprint··on Hackers shoveled snow for company, were rewarded with network admin access
Yeah, true.

Being overly suspicious of everyone is a terrible way to live. Maintenance should have the autonomy to do as they did here - and security correctly followed up. The right response should only be technical imo. A meeting room should not lead to this level of network access.
UnfitFootprint··on Vite+ Beta
I’ve found if you want interop ts esm and js cjs you need to compile your code - and then `tsc` doesn’t bundle your dependencies for you and outputs incomplete code.

UnfitFootprint··on Google copybara: moving code between repositories
Yep, same. I thought it might a wrapper around git subtree but looks like it’s doing quite a lot more!

For example altering commit author emails during sync

I don’t think this will cut down on spam so much as fraud. All spam calls I get don’t have registered IDs
