@sameenkarim @github That would be awesome to use if GitHub wasn’t offline half the time

AI is a map from question to answer, but humans are the ones with the questions to answer and goals to fulfill.
Today, AI does set instrumental goals for itself, to meet higher-level goals set by humans. As models get smarter... the agents could set higher level goals, but can never know what you want without communication.
Knowing what you want, not necessarily how to do it, will be the role of humanity. Nothing wrong with that!

@jaltma @ryaneshea After Artificial Superintelligence, what exactly would an average person (of IQ 100) be able to contribute to society?
English
I might be too much of an optimist but I just don’t buy the permanent underclass thing. I just think no matter how smart AI gets, there’s no way a motivated person will wake up each day and be unable to contribute to society.

@lulumeservey I just joined Shopify. Completely, 1000% agree. I had no idea what I was getting into. Amazing!
English
Shopify is a mecca for engineers because of the culture set by Tobi
When the CEO is coding and hacking and tinkering for the love of the game, it sets the tone for the org
And it’s why a Canadian company has attracted world class technical talent
Amit R G@realamitrg
CEO of Shopify @tobi is shipping more code than ever. 2024: 94 commits 2025: 833 commits 2026: 957 commits (in first 45 days of the year) Claude is turning CEOs back to builder mode.

@elonmusk @peterrhague Improve tree shaking in compilers. Some of this is due to error paths as well.
English
@peterrhague Modern binaries are incredibly bloated. The size of “hello world” is absurd.
English
Why do we want this? Modern compilers are extremely efficient. Having human readable code as a record of what is done is surely a good thing?

Elon Musk thinks coding dies this year. Not evolves. Dies. By December, AI won’t need programming languages. It generates machine code directly. Binary optimized beyond anything human logic could produce. No translation. No compilation. Just pure execution. Musk: “You don’t even bother doing coding.” Code was never the point. It was friction. A tax we paid because machines didn’t speak human. AI just learned fluent human. The tax is gone. Now plug that into Neuralink. No syntax. No keyboard. No screen. Musk: “Imagination-to-software.” Thought becomes executable. You imagine an outcome, the system architects and compiles it into reality instantly. We’re not automating programming. We’re erasing it from existence. The entire profession collapses into a thought. Decades of training reduced to irrelevance. The gap between idea and instantiation hits zero. You don’t build anymore. You imagine, and it materializes. Not incremental progress. Total phase shift. The way humans have created things for ten thousand years just became obsolete. Welcome to a world where the limiting factor isn’t skill, resources, or time. It’s whether you can picture what you want clearly enough for a machine to birth it into existence.

@filpizlo @zuhaitz_dev These terms have no definition and even if you did define them I don't see what the purpose would be. Rust is low-level. So what? No, actually, Rust is high-level. Wow, that changes everything! (it doesn't.) Useless debate, tbh.
English
Rust is a systems programming language.
C++ is a systems programming language.
C is a systems programming language.
None are low level. Now, it is true that, after years, decades, the low level bar has increased. For a React developer these languages are low level.
I could understand classifying these as mid-level, mainly C, but that's pretty much it.

@sirius_devops @kanavtwt Go read the code. Completely novel, sorry.

> Opus 4.6 wrote a C compiler from scratch which compiled the Linux kernel successfully and you think it's a bubble???
Anthropic@AnthropicAI
New Engineering blog: We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C compiler. Then we (mostly) walked away. Two weeks later, it worked on the Linux kernel. Here's what it taught us about the future of autonomous software development. Read more: anthropic.com/engineering/bu…

@theo We didn't release today due to the github actions outage. Give it an update tomorrow

Just asked Claude "why are my laptop's fans going so hard right now". At least it's honest?
English
I shipped more code in the last 3 weeks than the decade before. The top AI models / agentic systems right now are an entirely different thing to what people used until the beginning of December.

@LowLevelTweets I love my setup. Wireguard VPN back to the house, routes all internet traffic. Only connection I trust, anywhere in the world, is my home ISP, because I kinda have to. As a bonus I get to run internal sites for myself, accessible to no one, but globally accessible for me.

aiight bro go back to running kali Linux as your daily driver big boys are working
Richard Glutes@RichardGlutes
@vxunderground VPNs being marketed as a security product is legitimately one of the greatest downfalls of the internet age. Maybe like 15+ years ago when HTTPS wasn’t as widely used or when SSL was the encryption but in this age of HTTP over TLS it’s largely unnecessary

Seems like recursion to me.
English
It's "literally" impossible to do recursion with a JMP instruction. That's just called a loop.
Recursion requires an input and an output, and you're going to need a stack and to be pushing data onto it and adjusting that stack pointer, and so on.
Dmitrii Kovanikov@ChShersh
I can’t fathom why so many Software Engineers are afraid of recursion. It’s literally just a single ‘jmp’ assembly instruction.

Officers are on scene of a pedestrian crash near Centreville Rd and Woodland Park Rd in McNair. The victim, an adult male, was transported to the hospital in life-threatening condition. The driver of the striking vehicle remained on scene. (1/2)

Please reply to this post with any difficulties you may have had in trying to buy a Tesla.
Our goal is for the purchase and delivery experience to be fast and simple, with accurate answers to your questions.
The key test is that you would recommend it to a friend.

Don’t you think that game developers will respond with moving to a SaaS model? If you pay $2.99/mo for access to online gameplay, then they can shut it down anytime. I feel like this law sounds good on paper but doesn’t account for the reasons why game developers shut down their services. If I want to put out an indie game tomorrow, but I’m somehow legally obligated to keep the online services running indefinitely… then I don’t think I would choose offer online services at all.

@DanielTSumpton Just verifying that yes, that is what I was talking about.
If buying a game is not a purchase, then pirating them is not theft.

Minecraft creator Notch has made fun of Pirate Software for the streamer’s ridiculous stance against the Stop Killing Games initiative 😂🤣😂
