asdf88990··on We are not going anywhere
It is distasteful to make such accusations. Specially when the author has specifically left out the calculation and merely suggests of a “fraction” which is to be discovered with time.
asdf88990··on JIT Compiling Code in 5μs
You don’t understand OP’s point because you’re assuming vulnerabilities don’t exist. That is utter nonsense.
asdf88990··on We Rebuilt the Linux MicroVM Stack on Apple Silicon
Lots of Lenavo laptops do just fine, but Apple hardware is still supreme for what it is worth.
asdf88990··on People who grew up with high economic connectedness earn more
The meritocracy fiction.
asdf88990··on Controversial creators are benefiting from monetization programs run by Meta
The movie builds the narrative and the subconscious biases which is more sinister.

This isn’t dismissing what Meta is doing, but Cinema in the West has been just as complicit and involved.

> There’s a big difference between fiction when the viewer knows it’s make believe and when it’s presented as factual.

The difference is far more nuanced and borders on inconsequential when it comes to mass media influence on society.

Just because something is presented as fiction or for entertainment doesn’t mean it doesn’t impact your psyche or your perception of the world and others.

asdf88990··on AI agent hacks gym to get its user a spot in pilates class
What do you mean by this?

I use a combination of big American AI and self hosted but I don’t understand your point.

asdf88990··on Tl;dv: Over 180k meetings left wide open
If something happens again and again, it is by choice. Firebase chooses to make it “easy” to get started rather than “secure by default”.
asdf88990··on Civilian plane crash in New Mexico tied to military GPS blocking
Trust in governmental institutions is at an all time low.

Questions must be asked about how and why we got here rather appeal to submission.

asdf88990··on More German than many Germans
Of course it is speculation. I don’t have a magic ball. But only a fool ignores trends!
asdf88990··on More German than many Germans
They adopted in the sense of surviving. Considering their head start and massive government support for the industry, their market share compared to Japanese and Korean cars is a joke, with the Chinese it will get even worst because this time they will be pushed out of their home market too.

This comes from a die hard bmw fan. Facts over feelings.

asdf88990··on More German than many Germans
The German Engineering is a byproduct. The culture that created is also the one that is holding it from becoming competitive with Chinese automakers.

Like almost everything, utility and efficiency is relative and dependent on the environment and external factors. People often overlook the “fit”.

asdf88990··on Why Book Corners won't sync contributions back to OpenStreetMap
The article is definitely write or at least rewritten or heavily editorialised by an LLM. You can confirm this by skimming the author’s previous articles and compare it to this one, specially pre-2021.
asdf88990··on Go 1.27 Interactive Tour
Yes, thinking in higher order abstractions is hard for most people.
asdf88990··on Tailscale didn't stop the Hugging Face intrusion
This is why hardware keys or tpm is such a quick win.
asdf88990··on Agent Skill to Force Docs in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English
Nothing is more comical than AI Slope declaring that I kill AI slop:

> your AI writes like a LinkedIn post. make it write like a Boeing manual.

> An agent skill that forces LLMs to write docs in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English: the controlled language aerospace has used since 1983 so a tired mechanic cannot misread an instruction. AI slop dies as a side effect.

asdf88990··on A pharmacy chain in Vermont implemented AI for efficiency
MCP is just API, and we have been there already and we know what happens: Businesses realise they can’t extract maximal value if they don’t own the interface so they recant the API.
asdf88990··on A pharmacy chain in Vermont implemented AI for efficiency
Because corporates operate on a religion with forever changing principles with trends and speaking against the vogue trend is taboo.
asdf88990··on Commodification of Intelligence: Good, Bad, and Ugly Circular AI Deals
It will be in less than 5 years. You can already buy second hand RTX3090 TIs and with most of modern Macs being able to run some mind of AU locally already, in 5 years, things will be very commodified once you get the Chinese start rolling out Cuda-compatible GPUs.
asdf88990··on Our position on open-weights models
> malicious actors.

It is malicious and anti-capitalist legislation. A grotesque caricature of protectionism for the oligarchs.

asdf88990··on Removing React.js from the codebase and adapting Htmx for UI interactivity (2023)
It looks simple because first it is largely broken and second it moves half of the logic to the backend.
asdf88990··on Htmx 4.0, the first JavaScript library to release exclusively on the Game Boy
Hardly. The quality stuff are often not drop shipped.
asdf88990··on Removing React.js from the codebase and adapting Htmx for UI interactivity (2023)
What is the main difference?
asdf88990··on Go Analysis Framework: modular static analysis by go team
If you think Docker code is easy to get into then you haven’t seen clean code.
asdf88990··on Go Analysis Framework: modular static analysis by go team
Have you tried to read the Kubernetes or Docker codebases?
asdf88990··on Go Analysis Framework: modular static analysis by go team
That is just a silly rationalisation by primitivists, and they will never be able to articulate any rational point where abstracts makes sense, in their world, whatever Russ Cox and a bunch of Google employees deem fit is the ideal.

Even when Russ Cox and Go team had come to term with reality and stopped pretending like we are in 70s still, these lot will move goalposts. It is a kind of psychosis and sycophancy that is beyond rational discourse.

asdf88990··on What is happening to jobs? Separating AI hype from reality
You’re underestimating the competitive ground and how these companies create an environment of do or die.

Once the talk of “we will be laying off people based on productivity in upcoming months” starts; probable go kamakazi.

asdf88990··on What is happening to jobs? Separating AI hype from reality
> This is usually due to time pressure and cost. AI arguably substantially reduces that kind of pressure.

This is categorically false because time and cost pressure is relative and if anything AI has exacerbated the exceptions for ROI and Turn Around time.

This along with the fact that even state of the art AI tends to generate subpar (albeit working) code extremely fast and in large volume.

You can see the effect of this already in the increased rate of production incidents recently.

This isn’t to say that AI is useless, but the tech debt it generates is unprecedented.

asdf88990··on DeepSeek pause fundraise after comments on compute gap to US leaked (transcript) [pdf]
Because money isn’t free and if you know there is a chokehold in supply, why raise money ar current valuation when things are getting better by the day?
asdf88990··on Future euro banknote design proposals
I really hate social media. “Jesus” Christ.
