Ko slišite novice o »usklajevanju« plač za 195.000 zaposlenih v javnem sektorju, ne pozabite na temeljni zakon ekonomije: Nič ni zastonj. Vsak evro, ki ga država »podari« svojemu aparatu, je bil najprej nasilno odvzet tistemu, ki ga je dejansko ustvaril na trgu.

so... I audited Garry's website after he bragged about 37K LOC/day and a 72-day shipping streak. here's what 78,400 lines of AI slop code actually looks like in production. a single homepage load of garryslist.org downloads 6.42 MB across 169 requests. for a newsletter-blog-thingy. 1/9🧵

We're far past the point where this "visibility" nonsense is offering any net value to anyone. Every performative post like these chip away at any goodwill saved from doing good work. Just ship code people like without the identity stickers! That's the best form of visibility.

@phyrooo read the book (emperors new mind). Then we'll go grab a beer and discuss whose eyes rolled harder

@edofic Oh, I don't have a good definition tbh, it would be something in the direction of a system having a subjective experience of self-awareness. I guess Grok gave some interesting directions with theories (e.g. Penrose's) that suggest that certain ingredients are a prerequisite.

About Hinton and his AI stance. It seems entirely possible that consciousness _could_ be an emergent property of a sophisticated/complex interactive network. We've seen other things emerge, why would consciousness be a special case? Any good rebuttals of this position?

@phyrooo @grok what's your take? Btw you conscious?

@phyrooo I mean what is your definition 😀 otherwise we'll arugue till blue in the face about different things

@edofic We don't know yet, but it could be the case that we assume it's something special because the subjective experience feels special to us. But any observer observing itself would (likely) have a bias and want to feel special. 🤷‍♂️

Is this the work of a towering wit or someone completely lacking a sense of irony?

Flying a drone is technological astral projection.

AI eliminated the natural barrier to entry that let OSS projects trust by default. People told me to do something rather than just complain. So I did. Introducing Vouch: explicit trust management for open source. Trusted people vouch for others. github.com/mitchellh/vouch The idea is simple: Unvouched users can't contribute to your projects. Very bad users can be explicitly "denounced", effectively blocked. Users are vouched or denounced by contributors via GitHub issue or discussion comments or via the CLI. Integration into GitHub is as simple as adopting the published GitHub actions. Done. Additionally, the system itself is generic to forges and not tied to GitHub in any way. Who and how someone is vouched or denounced is up to the project. I'm not the value police for the world. Decide for yourself what works for your project and your community. All of the data is stored in a single flat text file in your own repository that can be easily parsed by standard POSIX tools or mainstream languages with zero dependencies. My hope is that eventually projects can form a web of trust so that projects with shared values can share their vouch lists with each other (automatically) so vouching or denouncing a person in one project has ripple effects through to other projects. The idea is based on the already successful system used by @badlogicgames in Pi. Thank you Mario. Ghostty will be integrating this imminently.

I would go so broke using this

CLAUDE CODE but for HACKING its called shannon, you point it at website and it just... tries to break in... fully autonomous with no human needed i pointed it at a test app and it stole the entire user database, created admin accounts, and bypassed login, all by itself, in 90 minutes

What a day!

Running Kimi K2.5 on my desk. Runs at 24 tok/sec with 2 x 512GB M3 Ultra Mac Studios connected with Thunderbolt 5 (RDMA) using @exolabs / MLX backend. Yes, it can run clawdbot.

If you immediately understand these references, you need to go touch grass

Very fast Codex coming!

Unironically a very good thing to come out of AI: emotional attachment to code goes away. In the early days of my career I was very emotionally attached to the code I wrote. But because I started my career in the Linux Kernel, that quickly went away: you got used very quickly to redoing the same thing 10, perhaps 20 times, until the maintainers were happy, sometimes for (apparent) capricious reasons. So you either learn or you lose. After I left the Kernel and started working in the industry at large, I found out that this feeling of people attached to the code they wrote was very common. And very hard to weed out. But nobody is attached to the output of OpenCode. You prompt it, if you don't like it then you throw it away.

@nzupan I host my family mail at purelymail.com - might not be enough for your needs but I love the concept

Was Googling around for a replacement and didn’t find anything great. Then asked Claude and it suggested migadu.com. Exactly what we need! Search is dead.

Woke up to an email from @Rackspace telling us they will increase our monthly email hosting bill by 300% 🤯 #ktnxbye #wtf

I bet "vibe code vs read the code" will be the next big "static vs dynamic typing" debate.
