trs83··on Flock worker calls police on reporter filming public camera installation
Irony is dead.
trs83··on Stop Anthropomorphizing Intermediate Tokens as Reasoning/Thinking Traces (2025)
Simplifying terminology is not a problem. The providers intentionally choosing terminology to make people think it's something it's not is a problem. I hate the term agent. Calling them companions as some do is just gross.
trs83··on EVi, a Hard-Fork of Vim
I have been writing a vim coding assistant harness in vimscript. I'm now writing it with itself. It's a weird language, and not terribly well represented in training sets compared to other languages. But it's fun - you can do things like divide by zero. On purpose.
trs83··on You can't use a code editor when you're under 18 now?
Time for kids to learn vim.
trs83··on The Linux Foundation Launches the Agentic AI Foundation
I had the same question. Also, how exactly does this connect to the Linux Foundation? If these are really like the other foundational projects LF supports, why aren't they just included under the same umbrella. Additionally, who is leading this? All I see here is the vague announcement, several listed projects, and pricing to join this new foundation. Perhaps I don't understand how these things start (I wasn't there for the beginning of LF), but this looks to my eyes more like corporate divestment than sustainable shared collaboration.

Good riddance to the lowest form of entertainment.
trs83··on The boring technology behind a one-person Internet company
Thinking is the real work that engineers do.
trs83··on Antidepressants or Tolkien
This is beautiful.
