plmpsu··on Book of Shapes – Collection of minimal, generative and customizable SVG-patterns
Wow.
plmpsu··on DuckDuckGo No-AI: Private Search Without AI
I think that that's the point.
plmpsu··on AI researchers debate how close we are to recursive self-improvement
Optimal intelligence would know.
plmpsu··on Are we SIXEL yet?
Interesting use cases. Can TUIs benefit? Any prominent examples?
plmpsu··on Are we SIXEL yet?
What can Sixel do for me? Any interesting examples?
plmpsu··on Startup Anti-Patterns
That's assuming you don't separate concerns in your monolith into modules with clear boundaries and dependencies. If you did that from day one, splitting a module off to a different service is easy.
plmpsu··on Radiation damage to Hubble has been 4.3 years out of phase with the Solar cycle
Oh wow, I thought those were stars at first.
plmpsu··on Slack Code
Thanks. I hate it. I just want my agents to be able to read and edit messages and canvases on Slack.
plmpsu··on Code Factories Without Quality: The AI Development Blind Spot
AI can be used to write E2E tests, unit tests, etc. The issue I find is that I would like a different model with a different context to design and write the tests. I haven't found the right technical solution to this yet.

When models write both the code and the tests, they might go back and forth between the code and tests until they reach a working solution. This seems dangerous.

plmpsu··on Cursor launches Origin, GitHub alternative
What are your plans for actions, workflows, checks, etc.
plmpsu··on AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
Often even wrong.
plmpsu··on Show HN: A public AI whose memory is shared across all users
Since we're using a monorepository, all documentation is included in the repository, as well as prompt skills, etc. So the repository is basically a shared context. Is that somehow different, better, or worse than what you're describing?
plmpsu··on [dead]
Fuck Ben-Gvir and this government. Sorry for the language, but it's appropriate in this case. This government is a bunch of fascist, massistic, corrupt, and depraved bunch of lunatics. It's our luck as Israeli citizens that they're also incompetent or we'd have no chance of overthrowing them. Come elections in 2 months, we'll kick these assholes out of office.
plmpsu··on There's Not a Single Flock Camera on the Upper West Side
It's clear that you have not read the post's comments.
plmpsu··on Better Posture Linked to Better Decision Making and Mood
I thought we were done with these behavioral psychology pseudo studies. Let me know when it's replicated.
plmpsu··on Prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code
You're right! Thanks for the correction.
plmpsu··on Prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code
Jack Kerouac famously sat down and typed "Anna Karenina" on a typewriter because he wanted to feel what it was like to "write a great novel".
plmpsu··on Elite Young Runners Are Becoming Freakishly Fast. Welcome to 'Trackflation'
What's 內功?
plmpsu··on Cue AI
This seems like a promotional post where DeepMind is advocating a product by Cue. It looks cool, and I'll be very interested in general, but maybe when Google offers the same, I'm not super interested in having another company's agent on my computer.
plmpsu··on My Homelab AI Dev Platform
Not only in tech. This is a common phenomenon. We're not that original.
plmpsu··on Treating pancreatic tumours may have revealed cancer's master switch
Does anyone have a link to the conference session?
plmpsu··on Back end is full of hidden workflows
I'm willing to bet that many start off without any notion of workflows thinking they're not going to need that or not thinking at all, and then add complexity step by step until it's an unimaginable tangled mess.
plmpsu··on Artificial intelligence is not conscious – Ted Chiang
Maybe OP is a dualist.
plmpsu··on Alphabet announces $80B equity capital raise to expand AI infra and compute
Quoting:

In addition, Alphabet has reached an agreement to sell $10 billion of stock to Berkshire Hathaway Inc. in a private placement, comprised of $5 billion in Class A Common Stock at a price of $351.81 per share and $5 billion in Class C Capital Stock at a price of $348.20 per share.

This investment by Berkshire Hathaway adds to the position it has built since Q3 2025.

plmpsu··on Associative learning turns DEET from aversive to appetitive in Aedes aegypti
Yeah, I would not be surprised if this learned behavior is passed on epigenetically. This is almost like gain of function research potentially.
plmpsu··on Corporate America Is Starting to Ration AI as Cost Skyrockets
Pretty much anything for which you'd need intelligence of any kind. Questions such as: Do these two paragraphs have the same semantic meaning? Do they have the same sentiment? Do these two methods have the same contract? etc. Not all documents our code and even with code deterministic tools gets you only so far.
plmpsu··on Corporate America Is Starting to Ration AI as Cost Skyrockets
AI can do things around semantic analysis that a deterministic diff tool cannot.

I understand and agree with your point though.

plmpsu··on Microsoft data suggests using AI is more expensive than hiring people
Right.

Give incompetent people tokens, and they become 10x better at their incompetence.

plmpsu··on Orchestrating AI code review at scale
I built a more naive version for our team using Copilot and GitHub actions and it works quite well (wish I had metrics too). The team loves it.

The ROI here is so high that I don't mind using the strongest model available for the actual code review. I don't trust Sonnet and such. Just let Opus or GPT 5.5 do the whole thing and pay a bit more for less complexity.

plmpsu··on Gradle Is Javamaxxing
For simple use cases, sure. But when you start to have to build artifacts with different dependency versions, JDK versions, architectures, etc., then this complexity has to be somewhere, and Gradle can do that for you if you know how to wield it.

We are a large enterprise shop with many projects being built on different machines, architectures, technologies, etc. We took the time to become decent in Gradle, and it works great for us.
