AI retrieval moving towards the file system is not unlike humans creating "memory palaces" to improve recall. Like spatial memory, the file system is a better interface than alternatives, and the palace doesn't even have to be real.

It's lumpers vs. splitters all the way down. Any exercise in taxonomy will be deemed heretical by the former; any quest for synthesis, nothing short of Kali Yuga in the eyes of the latter. This is, of course, not unlike the problem of computer and non-computer vision. "Are these two pixels part of something larger, or are they unrelated? And what about this other one?" And so on and so forth. Not that we're all just cones and rods aboard a massive space eyeball held in orbit, or anything like that. Sworn enemies in matters of light detection. And yet.
The Shade of Kenneth@saditious

I'm currently reading Eliade's The Sacred and the Profane, and it's striking to me how he espouses his hideous fascist ideology, while at the same time trying very hard to appear as though he's giving a politically neutral account of the origins of religion. /1

This is Spain today: I cannot docker pull postgres:18 because there's football games happening. Yes, you read it well. This image is being served from @Cloudflare , which is apparently blocked massively during football games by mafia-managed @LaLiga Ofc, VPN -> pull completed

@vercel_dev Got an email 11 minutes ago from GitHub, about "Vercel is requesting updated permissions" (an update permissions request). Can you confirm this was planned?

Se terminó el hype por los vasos Stanley. Ahora en el gimnasio y en la oficina veo solamente esta marca de botellas. Conté en mi newsletter por qué la gente las ama y por qué se volvieron virales.

Impressionism only wins because it is honest. While classical art depicts a grandiose external as if no one was looking, and modern art depicts the self unmoored, as if the world doesn't exist, impressionism resembles eyesight: "Here's a real world as seen by a real someone."

It seems pretty undeniable that people in their 30s/40s today look way younger than people the same age did even 20 years ago. Why is this happening, is it just better cosmetic treatments? What are the second order social effects?

@theo Has anyone ever tried monetizing contributions as a way to prevent spam + funding open source? For example: * Pay to get your PR reviewed (or fast-tracked) * Opening PRs about X is free, but PRs about Y require payment * Only trusted contributors can open PRs for free Etc.

Maria is speaking straight facts here. Please don’t spam us with giant PRs adding new features. Just tell us what you want and we’ll triage accordingly. Appreciate the hype around T3 Code but please chill a LITTLE bit guys
maria@maria_rcks

to the people contributing to t3.codes could you please... stop? - do not file a 9k loc pr that adds 7 features on top of what you advertised in the title. - ANY ui change should have before / after screenshots, idk how this isn't common knowledge. - and for the ones adding providers, i'd just wait for @jullerino / @theo to add them. if you want to make things right: - first open an issue with something you'd like changed / added with clear examples of how it'll work / look, also attach examples from other open source apps that do that specific thing well - something as simple as changing the wording "open pr" to "view pr" - removing a stray dot in the ui for the working animation and most important of all... make it easy to review

@ProtonVPN And for context, the IP bans started in February 2025, so we recently passed the 1-year mark of this "weekend tradition". A full year of this! Every weekend!

Weekends in Spain: - Great food - Amazing culture - Mild, sunny winters - Good football on TV - Half of the internet randomly stops working
David Peterson@davidgpeterson

Hace aproximadamente una hora, LaLiga volvió a bloquear sitios web y aplicaciones al azar en España. En el pasado, esto a menudo ha incluido romper la banca en línea, Bizum, etc., para muchos usuarios. Así que, si sales esta tarde, lleva efectivo - o ten el VPN activado.

A new argument for egalitarianism: The more powerful someone is, the more evidence they have that they’re the main character in a simulation. Since we don’t want our leaders believing that, it’s better to limit any one person’s power.

In der USA sind die meisten Menschen enthusiastisch. In Europa werde ich beschimpft, Leute schreien REGULIERUNG und VERANTWORTUNG. Und wenn ich wirklich hier eine Firma baue dann kann ich mich mit Themen wie Investitionsschutzgesetz, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und lähmenden Arbeitsregulierungen abkämpfen. Bei OAI arbeiten die meisten Leute 6-7 Tage die Woche und werden depentsprechend bezahlt. Be uns ist das illegal.

@thorstenball No healthy middle path? Viz. try out 80% of the new things but be aware that 80% of those will not survive the hype wave anyways.

"Is this the bet you want to take? While everything around us is changing?" Some loose thoughts on why this isn't business as usual right now and why treating it as such might not be a good option.

This Ship of Theseus + Matryoshka doll reshuffling will happen in all industries btw. Some jobs might not change at all but their labels will! For example, the engineers doing pre-training for a Tesla Optimus "French cuisine expert" edition in 2035 might as well be called chefs. It's cooler, and probably less tokens.
Durandal@durandal_async

Maybe you are both right and just focused on different things, what software is vs. what is labelled as software. I see both changing at the same time so in a way four quadrants: 1. Companies that keep the "software" label and what they actually do is still software-as-we-know-it. 2. Companies that lose the "software" label but what they actually do is still "software-as-we-know-it. 3. Companies that keep the "software" label but embrace AI and what they actually do changes radically. 4. Companies that lose the "software" label but embrace AI and what they actually do changes radically. Discrete winners and losers in each with a heavy trend of (3-4) outcompeting (1-2)? Most likely. Which ones get to be called "real software companies" in the future history world models? No clue at all.
