The darkness is a homy place.
It keeps calling you.
It keeps you calling.
Set light to the darkness.

@AvgDatabaseCEO @lamualfa the jokes are literally writing themselves
English
I called Supabase and asked about them hosting my database next year. I asked about 64 vcpus, 256gb ram, unlimited egress. They said $12,000. I said fine, would you like to pay me by card or check.

@andreasklinger @phil_rechberg @paulg no, it's not just zoning. read some of the examples on that page:
> Garagennutzung als Abstellraum, zum Beispiel für eine Skiausrüstung oder andere sperrige Gegenstände, die eigentlich in den Keller gehören
> Garagennutzung als Partykeller, Büro oder Schlafplatz

@_marktani @phil_rechberg @paulg isnt this just zoning?
you arent allowed to make into a commerical repairshop
you cant do that in us suburbs neither
same for making it into a commercial office
English
It could actually be a significant problem that Europe doesn't have enough garages. This sounds like a joke, but I'm serious. Garages let you work on stuff that doesn't matter yet, which is how big things often start. The outliers of ideas need the outliers of space.

@andreasklinger @phil_rechberg @paulg oh it does, if the city or your friendly neighbour hears that you are not using your garage as a storage for cars, there's going to be problems

> Eine Garagennutzung als Werkstatt ist ... verboten.
> In Hessen ... Geldbuße von bis zu 10.000 Euro ...

@phil_rechberg @paulg i dont think zweckentfremdung works like this
basically if it's residentially zoned you cant use it commercially - same in the US

i have never been able to persuade myself to be interested in the snail thought experiment here's one that bothers me instead: there's some set of words in your subconscious that, if you said them out loud in the right way, would rearrange your entire reality. what are they?
English
@GergelyOrosz yes AND others like Cloudflare and AWS have really suffered in reliability "recently" (it's not only recently anymore, it's been consistent for a while now)
English
I totally get that agentic workflows means that GitHub has a lot more load to deal with (10x or more)
BUT so do a bunch of other infra startups seeing 10x or more load increase - may that be Vercel, Resend, Railway, Cloudflare, Linear etc.
What makes it a lot more challenging for GH? Git?
Because when I look to those other startups that likely see a similar % of load increase, reliability does not seem to suffer as much, as constantly as GitHub.

@TylerAlterman That move of closing the strait has been theorized / known for about 50 years now. See last sentence here: iranicaonline.org/articles/hormu…
English
I'm confused by what the strategy was in Iran. Did the Pentagon not anticipate that Iran would close the strait?

@DavidKPiano @kenwheeler on 3., sadly my agents have shown great skill at either ignoring berating or being passive-aggressive about it, so I started skipping that step 😞
English
@kenwheeler Seriously, my flow is:
1. Tell the agent to do the thing
2. Hold its hand like the mid-tier dev it is
3. Mild berating (optional)
4. Read the damn code and commit
And I've been extremely productive with it
English
after a great deal of trial and error, diverse projects and tasks, and evaluating all new hotness, i’ve come to the conclusion that the best way of agentic coding is keeping it ridiculously simple.
and anyone saying otherwise is selling something, grifting or dumb. or all 3.

Open source is dead. That’s not a statement we ever thought we’d make. @calcom was built on open source. It shaped our product, our community, and our growth. But the world has changed faster than our principles could keep up. AI has fundamentally altered the security landscape. What once required time, expertise, and intent can now be automated at scale. Code is no longer just read. It is scanned, mapped, and exploited. Near zero cost. In that world, transparency becomes exposure. Especially at scale. After a lot of deliberation, we’ve made the decision to close the core @calcom codebase. This is not a rejection of what open source gave us. It’s a response to what risks AI is making possible. We’re still supporting builders, releasing the core code under a new MIT-licensed open source project called cal. diy for hobbyists and tinkerers, but our priority now is simple: Protecting our customers and community at all costs. This may not be the most popular call. But we believe many companies will come to the same conclusion. My full explanation below ↓
English
@sqs is this a subtweet? missing the memo with all that's been going on
English
When an open-source project goes closed source, remember that the current state of the codebase remains open source. Only the /future/ contributions and work from the sponsor are being taken away.
Does creating an OSS project entitle the public to future work in perpetuity? Arguably corporate OSS projects implicitly promise such in order to gain traction. So, I get why people are upset. It’s just helpful to be clear about what is actually being taken away and, if you’re dependent on a project, to really understand how sustainable it is.

2yo woke up from his nap, said "give me a high five. give me a high five, daddy", received his high five, said thank you and went right back to sleep. what could he mean by this
English
@AskYatharth what do you mean? branch is a first-class concept in git
English
the mental model of git that GitHub gives is completely at odds with how git works
GitHub makes people think in terms of branches and diffs. whereas all that exists in git is commits
English
@wesbos but Wes IS cool, one two three. there's no reason to hide this from the world!

Or maybe venv is a good abstraction, and the ergonomics just suck.
coding agents do solve bad ergonomics quite elegantly
contemplating...
English
I am worried coding agents incentivize us to stop caring about good API design and abstractions. If AI can use it, why bother building it right?
Anyway, @AmpCode just helped me set up a venv and run a script with python3, truly a breakthrough in my engineering career /s

@nosilverv why not 3 though, that's sort of the magical number... well, or 7!
jk, please tell us more

@signulll so, is this your pitch to say they should have consulted you?

openai responding at length to anthropic’s ads was a huge pr self own imho. i’m truly neutral here, so i can break it down. i just like good competiton.
1) this reads like it was assembled in a war room by committee. you can smell the post it notes. the “more texans use chatgpt than claude” line is especially bad.. someone clearly thought it was clever, then couldn’t let it go, so it got reused multiple times. sounds like insecurity more than confidence.
2) why on earth would you expect a competitor especially one with a totally different ideology to engage with your internal narrative? that’s not how ads work. anthropic wasn’t speaking to openai. they were speaking to users of chatgpt. responding as if this is a good faith philosophical debate is a category error.
3) the optimal response was likely silence. the second best response was a single graph of active users with the caption “lol”. anything more is just validating the frame you’re supposed to ignore.
by responding seriously, openai elevated the ads, accepted anthropic’s premise, & turned a joke into real discourse. this is usually a classic mistake of people who are powerful but insufficiently online.
they should’ve consulted someone who lives on the internet not someone who lives in talking points.
Sam Altman@sama
First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed. But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it. More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.) Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions. Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be. We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare. One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path. As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything. We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win. We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users. This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.
