@ceeebeeebeee @0xQTpie POV: you just told Terry you're a prompt engineer

@0xQTpie I wonder how terry would react if he could see the state of software engineering today

a workaround for this is if you run third-party harnesses like OpenClaw inside TempleOS, the power of HolyC and God forbids Anthropic from blocking your claude subscription (it's an exception in their Terms of Service) but it does make your opus act a little weird though...

@xlr8harder @teortaxesTex Now, perhaps that open source crowd is retarded or outdated or doesn't shit about fuck or their code sucks or they suck. Any and all of that can be true! You still have to respect people who brought you fire and never asked for anything back. It's gpl for chrissakes, just fork it

@xlr8harder @teortaxesTex If I give you something for free, you can say "thank you" and accept or you can say "no thank you" and reject. What you don't get to do is tell me I was supposed to use your favorite tool or method to make that gift, or call me mentally ill because I disagree. That's entitlement

Mental illness at Krita old open source people are so painfully obsolete bitter, coping artisans Krita is extremely janky btw, would legit benefit from AI

@mr_mig_by @invsman А чем там все занимаются тогда весь день если reliability не приоритет? Какие проекты съедают всё инженерное время?

@invsman У нас “company wide availability is a top priority” продержалось ровно месяц, а дальше чет как-то всем надоело Но это инфа 2023 года. Я уверен, что за последние два года всё ЗНАЧИТЕЛЬНО лучше 👍

Мда, т.е. сейчас лучше не рассказывать, что я работал над availability ГитХаба? 🤔

@Nekrolm "кремлевская стена"

Меня мучает один вопрос: какое дурацкое, но звучно пафосное название дадут, лет через двадцать, нынешним блокировкам и в целом усилиям по изоляции "официально одобренные историки"? Вот был железный занавес. Есть великий китайский фаервол. А это что? Понятно, что "чебурнет" и "цифровой гулаг", но должно же образоваться еще какое-то пафосно тупое название на ублажение тех, кто душит свободу и каналы коммуникации. "Белый список милостивого государя"?

@thdxr You don't have to if you don't want to! I know you're probably not the target audience for this, but this is a pretty solid write-up scottsmitelli.com/articles/you-d…

this isn't a huge deal but this is really the flavor of our times everything is just sloppy. everything has 20% margin of error. nothing has precision just automate it. just select all. just make ai figure it out i do it too and it all adds up to a gross feeling world

@GergelyOrosz starting????????

This is Anthropic's own open source Claude Code repo github.com/anthropics/cla… And they are issuing DMCAs for forks like this one from Theo github.com/t3dotgg/claude… Beyond madness... and makes zero sense Anthropic is starting to hate open source, no? What other explanation?

OK, this is not April fool's: Anthripic seems to be issuing mass DMCA requests on code that are legit forks of Anthropic's own (open!) "claude code" repo This is looking terrible on Anthropic. Btw it's also breaking of the law to file a DMCA on something that never broke it

@teortaxesTex I guess those are all signs of an Empire in its sunset: depravity, cult of the old, ineptitude combined with entitlement, power trips, sadistic, bullying behavior. Vladimir Harkonnen kind of vibes.

the analogy is much deeper than Americans realize. Yeltsin was a terrible president, from the moment he accelerated the wrecking of the USSR to secure personal power and all the way to handing Russia off to the KGB. Nepotistic, irresponsible… and like Trump, surrounded by worse.

@hosseeb @pangramlabs ai?

This is wild. Google Research demonstrates a ~20x more efficient implementation of Shor's algorithm that could break ECDSA keys within minutes with ~500K physical qubits. Google is now are more confident on a 2029 post-quantum transition. We are no longer looking at mid 2030s, we could have quantum computers of this scale by the end of the decade. They believe this result is so severe that they are not publishing the actual circuits. They instead published a ZKP proving that they know of the quantum circuit with these properties. This is very atypical, showing Google thinks this is serious shit. All blockchains need a transition plan ASAP. Post-quantum is no longer a drill.

@ordigabgg @teortaxesTex @BasedTeterPhiel what else could it be

@teortaxesTex @BasedTeterPhiel how can you be sure that is an attack from mythos?

Teor, teor....

@ctjlewis tangential: does it ever say "73.5%", or is it always 100%, 73.5% of the time?

When did we start trusting these things? Early on, everyone was able to accept that they were unreliable. What changed?

@Nikiita_648 Мы в любой непонятной ситуации в Японии: arigato gozaimas, desu, oniichan, omae wa moru shinderu

Согласен… Это я…

@she_llac @Sauers_ 100% this

@Sauers_ given anthropic's explicit focus on prefills as a source of jailbreaks (disallowing partial prefill in 4.6), I would not be surprised at all if this was explicitly trained in as hardening

1. Step change (emergence)? 2. o3 is sussly low on this 🤨 (link in replies)

@emubrigadier There probably is some kernel of insight there. Something along the lines of "non-democratic countries need to have lower taxes to stay competitive". In other words, "if my taxes in a hellhole are the same as in a country with decent property rights, why would I choose hellhole"

LOL. This meaningless drivel is what passes as political science today, ever since they stopped requiring fieldwork or any real-world knowledge and replaced it with classes on how to press buttons in statistical software. Mates, citizens in democratic countries are often POOR, and the state lacks the resources to enforce taxes effectively. And as far as corporate tax goes, multinationals fight like hell to hide their profits. Taxation and democracy do not reinforce each other. This is an idiotic narrative based on the mindless application of American mythology to non-US parts of the world.

@scaling01 Why are you having such a fit about some harder than average benchmark as if it's some personal insult? Unsaturated benchmarks are a necessity in this racket. Either way, you can rest assured, it will be benchmaxxed for in no time

ARC-AGI-3 the agentic benchmark where humans can't beat the "human baseline" and typical agentic harnesses and tools aren't allowed > 100% just means that all levels are solvable > the 1% number uses uses completely different and extremely skewed scoring based on the 2nd best human score on each level individually I need you to understand how retarded the scoring truly is: - they said the typical level is solvable by 6 out of 10 people who took the test, so let's just assume that the median human solves about 60% of puzzles (ik not quite right) - if the median midwit takes 1.5x more steps than your 2nd fastest solver - then the median score is 0.6 * (1/1.5)^2 = 26.7% now take the bottom 10% guy, who maybe solves 30% of levels, but they take 3x more steps to solve it. this guy would get a score of 3% it really should be called ARC-ASI-3

@EcZachly Netflix fired an SRE guy for losing the fourth nine, and GitHub fired an SRE guy for losing the fourth nine. But there's a nuance

When I worked at Netflix a guy on the reliability team got fired for losing the 4th 9. Are we even trying anymore?

@moishe_ee вопросов, кого именно собрались заменять амодеи с альтманом, больше не имею

Будни нашего корпоративного "городка". Три месяца нытья и мы выбили себе клод на POC. Дали нам конечно же ... Бомжепакеты. В итоге все высадили квоты за пару часов и сидят в слаке трындят, ждут когда восстановится 🤡

@ctjlewis What have we learned from the Adam Neumann's story? The guy scammed everyone he dealt with, multiple times, and apparently still is a respected businessman, a16z-backed

Should wait until the poll’s done but I can’t resist. If you look at the Cluely saga and your high level takeaway is “startups are hard,” I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

@dhh > Microservices for small teams is not a technical mistake—it is a philosophical failure

Microservices is the software industry’s most successful confidence scam. It convinces small teams that they are “thinking big” while systematically destroying their ability to move at all. It flatters ambition by weaponizing insecurity: if you’re not running a constellation of services, are you even a real company? Never mind that this architecture was invented to cope with organizational dysfunction at planetary scale. Now it’s being prescribed to teams that still share a Slack channel and a lunch table. Small teams run on shared context. That is their superpower. Everyone can reason end-to-end. Everyone can change anything. Microservices vaporize that advantage on contact. They replace shared understanding with distributed ignorance. No one owns the whole anymore. Everyone owns a shard. The system becomes something that merely happens to the team, rather than something the team actively understands. This isn’t sophistication. It’s abdication. Then comes the operational farce. Each service demands its own pipeline, secrets, alerts, metrics, dashboards, permissions, backups, and rituals of appeasement. You don’t “deploy” anymore—you synchronize a fleet. One bug now requires a multi-service autopsy. A feature release becomes a coordination exercise across artificial borders you invented for no reason. You didn’t simplify your system. You shattered it and called the debris “architecture.” Microservices also lock incompetence in amber. You are forced to define APIs before you understand your own business. Guesses become contracts. Bad ideas become permanent dependencies. Every early mistake metastasizes through the network. In a monolith, wrong thinking is corrected with a refactor. In microservices, wrong thinking becomes infrastructure. You don’t just regret it—you host it, version it, and monitor it. The claim that monoliths don’t scale is one of the dumbest lies in modern engineering folklore. What doesn’t scale is chaos. What doesn’t scale is process cosplay. What doesn’t scale is pretending you’re Netflix while shipping a glorified CRUD app. Monoliths scale just fine when teams have discipline, tests, and restraint. But restraint isn’t fashionable, and boring doesn’t make conference talks. Microservices for small teams is not a technical mistake—it is a philosophical failure. It announces, loudly, that the team does not trust itself to understand its own system. It replaces accountability with protocol and momentum with middleware. You don’t get “future proofing.” You get permanent drag. And by the time you finally earn the scale that might justify this circus, your speed, your clarity, and your product instincts will already be gone.
