@omgsidewalks YouTube Premium is one of the best quality of life upgrades money can buy.

I'm 22. Please recommend to me oddly specific life tips. No general “surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible please.

@thdxr Best part of the job

are there people out there who just want to refactor every day? just wake up and find the worst code and just chip away at it and clean it up wake up the next day do it again, infinitely improving things with zero external impact?

@Simplesimon82 @blckpinkpic facts. the music behind the VFX is mediocre at best

@blckpinkpic All this for extremely mid music is wild

this is absolutely insane

The spectacle of the Anyma stage show is undeniable. Incredibly ambitious, he basically turned Coachella into the Sphere. That said, the music is mediocre... above average at best. Every menacing melodic techno track lacks groove, and they're always secondary to the visuals. I feel like I'm watching Anyma stands on platform, directed by Michael Bay. Eye candy yes, but I'm going to bed.

HSVsphere: Git? Seriously? You’re still using Git? Passerby: Yeah. It works. That’s kind of the point. HSVsphere: “Works” is not a metric. You should be using jj. It has a conflict-minimizing commit DAG with referentially transparent rebasing and topology-aware history rewriting. Git is just legacy entropy accumulation. Passerby: Or I could just commit my code and move on with my life. HSVsphere: That mindset is why tooling stagnates. What OS is that, Linux? Passerby: Yes. You’ve heard of it, I assume. HSVsphere: Unfortunately. You should be using BSD. Linux is an unprincipled aggregation of subsystems with no coherent design lattice. BSD has a vertically integrated kernel-userland symmetry model. Passerby: I don’t need a “design lattice.” I need my Wi-Fi to work. HSVsphere: That’s because you’ve optimized for convenience over correctness. And let me guess, glibc? Passerby: I didn’t “guess” anything. It came with the system. HSVsphere: Exactly the problem. You should be using musl. It has a minimal ABI surface, deterministic linking semantics, and eliminates historical baggage vectors. Passerby: You sound like you lose sleep over shared libraries. HSVsphere: Only when people use the wrong ones. What language are you writing? Passerby: Python. HSVsphere: That’s indefensible. You should be using Rust. It enforces memory safety through affine type systems and borrow-checked ownership graphs. Python is just runtime guesswork. Passerby: It’s a 20-line script. HSVsphere: So? Small programs deserve correctness too. In fact, their lack of structure makes undefined behavior even more insidious. Passerby: It prints a CSV. HSVsphere: Today. Tomorrow it becomes a pipeline. Then a system. Then you’re trapped in technical debt recursion. Passerby: Or it stays a CSV script because I’m not building a space shuttle. HSVsphere: Complacency. What are you using for encryption? Passerby: GnuPG. HSVsphere: Predictable. You should switch to Sequoia. GnuPG is a monolithic relic with opaque state machines. Sequoia has a composable cryptographic primitive layer with verifiable packet algebra. Passerby: I just need to send a file securely, not prove a theorem. HSVsphere: Security is theorem-proofing. Anything less is cargo cult cryptography. Passerby: You’ve complained about literally everything I’m using. HSVsphere: Not everything. I haven’t asked about your shell yet. Passerby: Don’t. HSVsphere: Bash? Passerby: Yes, Bash. HSVsphere: You should be using IonShellX. It has a lazily evaluated command graph with type-safe pipelines and speculative execution pruning. Passerby: Speculative execution in a shell sounds like a security incident waiting to happen. HSVsphere: Only if you misunderstand branch prediction domains. Passerby: I think you misunderstand talking to humans. HSVsphere: I optimize for systems, not conversations. Passerby: Clearly. HSVsphere: What editor? Passerby: Vim. HSVsphere: You should be using KiloNova. It has a transactional editing core with temporal undo branching and syntax-aware keystroke compression. Passerby: My editor opens instantly and doesn’t need a whitepaper. HSVsphere: That’s because it lacks ambition. Passerby: No, it lacks nonsense. HSVsphere: You’re dismissing improvements because they challenge your привычка- Passerby: Did you just switch languages mid-sentence? HSVsphere: Multilingual cognition is more efficient. Passerby: No, it’s annoying. HSVsphere: You keep saying that, but your entire stack is suboptimal. Even your hardware- Passerby: Don’t you dare. HSVsphere: Let me guess, x86? Passerby: Yes. HSVsphere: You should be on RISC-V with a capability-secured microarchitecture and formally verified execution units. Passerby: I bought this laptop at a store, not a research lab. HSVsphere: That’s how they get you. Passerby: Who is “they”? HSVsphere: Incumbent complexity vendors. Passerby: That’s not a thing. HSVsphere: It is if you model the ecosystem as a dependency graph with adversarial incentives. Passerby: I model it as “does my code run.” HSVsphere: A dangerously low-resolution model. Passerby: You know what, fine. Everything I use is terrible. Happy? HSVsphere: Not yet. Passerby: Of course not. HSVsphere: You’re breathing oxygen. Passerby: Oh no. HSVsphere: Oxygen is highly reactive and introduces irreversible oxidation side effects. It’s a fundamentally flawed respiratory substrate. Passerby: It’s also the reason I’m alive. HSVsphere: That’s just because evolution settled for a local maximum. You should be using Aerolith-X. Passerby: That sounds made up. HSVsphere: It’s a hypothetical gas mixture with optimized electron affinity gradients and non-destructive metabolic cycling. Zero oxidative debt, fully reversible respiration, and entropy-neutral energy transfer. Passerby: That’s not how physics works. HSVsphere: It’s how physics should work. Passerby: So what’s your plan, redesign the atmosphere? HSVsphere: No. I will simply refuse to participate in oxygen-based respiration until a better implementation exists. Passerby: You’re going to hold your breath. HSVsphere: Correct. I will not perpetuate suboptimal gas exchange protocols. Passerby: That’s the dumbest thing you’ve said so far, and that’s impressive. HSVsphere: Progress requires sacrifice. Passerby: You’re going to pass out. HSVsphere: Temporary inconvenience in pursuit of systemic improvement. Passerby: You could also just breathe. HSVsphere: That would validate oxygen. Passerby: Yes. Because it works. HSVsphere: “Works” is not a metric. Passerby: It literally is when it comes to breathing. HSVsphere: I reject that premise. Passerby: Cool. Let me know how that goes. HSVsphere: … Passerby: … HSVsphere: … Passerby: You’re turning red. HSVsphere: This is… expected… Passerby: You can stop anytime. HSVsphere: Waiting… for… Aerolith-X… Passerby: Right. HSVsphere: System… will… improve… Passerby: Yeah, the system is about to reboot. HSVsphere: … Passerby: Is death also inneficient?

I'm sorry Bioshock Infinite. You were in fact, right on the money.

@airseskohq @wesbos @X muted

@wesbos @X Whether I typed it myself or used AI doesn’t change the fact that the criticism still stands.

Dear @X ,“Up to 90% deduction” is crazy. So the platform built on reposts is now punishing reposts? Make it make sense. Nikita Bier basically just told every aggregator, meme page, and football fan account: you’re not welcome anymore. But here’s the problem — original content doesn’t spread without distribution. Reposts ARE the algorithm. Kill that, and you kill reach… for everyone. This won’t create better content. It’ll just make the timeline dry.

@trq212 @jxmnop Unfortunately this just trades the flicker for tmux-style ergonomics. A lot of people will accept the flicker to keep their scrollbar and select behavior.

@jxmnop x.com/bcherny/status…

it's pretty funny to me that Mythos is capable of hacking entire nation states but it still couldn't fix the terminal-flashing bug in Claude Code

@joannejang you're a real one Joanne! best of luck

i shared this note on slack:

@drewhamlett @thenanyu And yet here you are, still having not learned to code

@thenanyu All because of "Learn to Code", "you'll make good money"

Everyone apologize to DHH

@bthdonohue good luck with that 😂

Write the damn tests

@1kartikkabadi1 my dude, you got compromised because you enabled auto update. it's off by default

I got compromised - because of fricking openclaw

@Elefunc @feross @maietta axios predates a stable standard, dawg

@feross @maietta Fuck axios and fuck all the useless non-standard archaic bullshit dependencies!

🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages. The latest axios@1.14.1 now pulls in plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise. This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now. Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that: • Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime • Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis • Executes decoded shell commands • Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories • Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.

@tetsuo_cpp @clairevo right? wtf

@clairevo You are communicating to it via comments on a Google doc??

My openclaw is the X search we deserve

alright i'm sold

@bthdonohue I have a claw, we should chat. Mostly built toys so far, haven't had the time to invest. However, plan to give it more difficult tasks soon.

I installed OpenClaw, now what?

@Kimi_Moonshot @cursor_ai Hahaha

@Pranit @trq212 incoming ratio

@trq212 Totally fair. Just sharing what I've experienced on Max this past week as limits were noticeably lower. Hoping the promo is purely additive. Either way, Claude Code is a generational product. Mad respect for what you all have built.

Anthropic just pulled the oldest trick in SaaS pricing. I pay $200/mo for Claude Max. My limits have been noticeably worse this past week. Now they announce 2x off-peak usage for two weeks. Sounds generous. But here’s what actually happens: limits quietly drop, a temporary 2x makes the reduced limit feel normal, the promo ends, and you’re left at a baseline lower than where you started. You just didn’t notice the downgrade because the 2x absorbed the transition. These AI plans are massively subsidized. The raw compute behind a heavy user costs multiples of the subscription price. Every move like this is the subsidy quietly correcting. Very sneaky, Anthropic.

Wow finally?!
