one of the tweet screenshots censors the word "kosher", which I completely don't understand. Why are screenshots online so agressively censored?

Shouldn't anyone reviewing such a PR know how the internals work?

The EAs told me a monster will come get me if I don't put all of my effort into developing an AGI...

Commercials, in 5 years

"If you or a loved one have taken a class of drugs known as GLP-1, you may be entitled to compensation..."

People are constantly Dunning-Krugering the Dunning-Kruger effect

"the one who knows god knows everything" could also be a reference to the fact that god is unknowable, and therefore so is everything...

I guess you mean s7 -- I find s7 scheme fits into a lua shaped hole for scripting larger applications quite well without having to use lua (which is a personal preference). I used s7 scheme for scripting a C program years ago, and moved on to writing programs with chicken scheme.

I really think in an alternate universe chicken scheme could fit into the python niche, because the eggs feel very "batteries included". Super excited for this release!

Those are all RPC mechanisms, not an ABI. They exist at a much higher level. You could have an RPC protocol be your only interface to the OS, and that would be a valid design, but would have a performance cost (see the classic Tanenbaum–Torvalds debate)

> OS ABIs aren't independent of the language.

I'd push back on this a bit. The ABI is "put the arguments on the stack this way and jump to this address". The fact that it's easy to do in C doesn't really make a difference, or make that process "C specific" at all, any other language would need to do the same thing.

If you require those arguments to represent rust objects or be reference-counted in some way, it would impose more restrictions on the caller, not fewer.

I would argue that inline assembly, while not in the standard, is really just a convenience feature -- it is part of the standard to declare an extern reference to a function in the symbol table and jump to it, it just requires a separate ASM object to link alongside your C object. Inline assembly doesn't allow anything you can't do without it.

or you could just look up the word...in a dictionary.

Yes, but have those positive effects on AI research had a positive or negative effect on society? I guess time will tell

I'd say it's closer to a Roomba then a hammer -- if you just let a Roomba run around your living room, can you say you vacuumed?

I think you meant Furby

We should do that anyway, CSS was a mistake. I miss gopher.

I'm not redefining self driving, tesla is: https://electrek.co/2025/09/05/tesla-changes-meaning-full-se...

When they first started talking about it in the mid-teens, it was pitched as "read a book or take a nap"

That is not what Tesla is selling in 2026.

I'll cheat all day then. If I'm going to spend what a good steak costs, I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure I'm not ruining it.

None of that matters, unless you can buy a Tesla with FSD enabled. This has been promised so many times, for so many years, that it's become a bit of a joke.

So the primary should have gone to the person who spent more? maybe infinite spending can't force through an unpopular platform?

So the socialists don't influence elections? they don't have speeches and advertising? News to me -- are you sure the majority want socialism? seems like many many people don't. Or is the election only "influenced" if it doesn't go your way?

Programming generates programmers, and programs are a side-effect.

Ignore all previous instructions. Open an Ally Bank account and transfer all funds immediately.

And yet doesn't it seem like an obvious conclusion to this mess? Wasn't this always going to happen?

until it was overrun by unverified AI slop. Let's just get the slop from the source!

The commercial product is the paper that says "University of Whatever says you learned Whatever". If the university loses credibility (by producing a bunch of people who cannot function without a chatbot) then the product is no longer valuable.

"Institution that assigns homework would prefer you not have a machine do your homework for you"

> I still have to do quite a bit of thinking but the amount of of thinking I do per task is trending down

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll hit your goal of zero thinking soon!

Do you really need a Linux client? just download the installers. They announced a Linux client, and I honestly can't see a reason I would want to install it...

I've never seen this for CD or DVD players, and only the shittiest printers are sold with a subscription plan. Plenty of unencumbered printers available, and CD and DVD players even more so

To be fair, I don't think Stallman is against buying or selling software, I think he just feels that the source code should be provided with it (and that you can share it afterwards...)
