"The cost of fragmented (sovereign) systems is ... sanctions evasion"

My man, that is the prize. Article is clearly written for US government elite to exhort them to bully other countries into staying in the system.

Just install steam on Linux. I think nearly every windows game is playable now. Gaming was the only thing keeping me in windows. The irony is I think Linux gaming us only feasible because of the win32 target. Otherwise the user space in Linux afaik is still a poop show.

I love it. Put the guardrails on the human. Your self driving car crashes? Straight to jail with you Mr Musk. Your AI is generating CSAM, straight to jail with all the pedos!

Recognise the safety and guardrails BS for what it is. An elaborate smoke and mirrors to get out of responsibility and liability.

I haven’t seen loops work for anything beyond simple tasks. And for complex tasks the loop itself is so complex half the time it would just fail and need you to intervene. Why would you go through all that effort of engineering a loop when a descriptive prompt followed by inspection is more than enough. It’s like idle hands looking for something to do.

And Claude or gpt can make websites just fine. So can the open weight models.

There is no skill involved in using AI. Most of the stuff people do on top of frontier models is just cope. It’s literally the bitter lesson repeated.

Got fired. I’ve no idea what I’ll do after 10 years of backend dev. I’m thinking of making video games. It looks rough but I want to do it.

My read was: "The first 90% of the work takes the first 10% of the time, and the remaining 10% of the work takes the other 90% of the time." And that we are now squarely in the remaining 10% of the work.

To first open source AI, you must first open source GPU compute

Is abliteration even necessary. While “playing around” I have noticed that most models are very strict only in the first prompt. The moment you get past that with a good turn, the next turn on you can get them to do _anything_.

I just ask whatever model I'm using, mostly GPT these days, to do the thing. First I discuss a plan of action and then go back and forth with it to settle on one. This is usually a long process and for complex features may even take a day or two. And then once I am satisfied, I ask it to implement. I skim over the code, it often generates too much code for my liking. I sometimes ask it to change things that I dont like. This is almost always to do with bad tests or not using existing code paths. I just work on one thing at a time.

I dislike it because it feels like I’m doing someone else’s work for them, reviewing what they should have reviewed in the first place.

We carry the seeds of our own destruction they say. So this is a good thing. America should take care of their own citizens first. It is a good thing. Also there is a school of thought that says prosperity of any country is primarily a function of the kind of citizens they have, and how the country is able to leverage the intellect of its citizens. An important thesis of recent discussions of American prosperity is that a lot of it has been built up by the immigration of enterprising people into the US. So it can be argued that American prosperity is at the cost of prosperity of the rest of the world. And most of these things have compounding effects. The more intellect gathers in the US, that country can leap frog into the future at a far more vigorous pace than other could if most of these people were left inside their own countries. But in any case, these current events give us an opportunity into testing the thesis of American prosperity. Either balance will be brought to how global prosperity is distributed, or finally a country will be able to take care of its own citizens first. Either way this is all a great thing.

Last 6 months vibecoding, I feel I have learned very little. You learn things like a high level executive or a manager. I can describe things at a very high level, but remain clueless how things work at the implementation level. It is just whatever code quality, architecture, common sense I learned earlier is carrying me through. Platforms like Codecrafters will be badly missed.

Those are not red flags. Those are the actual thing. I think red flag is a heuristic that warns you about a course of action.

I was in the same boat. You should try running an AI agent to solve your problems. Works like a charm. Most of the times. The times it doesn't, it wasn't worth it anyway.

We can't even say something in public these days. All your comment needs is the trigger words or constructions

- That's why X works. - Not X but Y.

And some moron will be in the replies, saying "LLM comment". I hate this world. But probably yeah. llm comment.

you can do way more than just coding with the coding agents.
