@ChShersh Bro says it hasn't got better but forgot he now codes in C++ 😭

On my first SWE job, I was clocking in, coding non-stop for 8 hours, clocking out. Repeat for 5 days a week. Got my paycheck twice a month. I thought my life can’t get any better. I was right. It hasn’t got better than this.

@davidbessis It's genetic. Each prime being one of your parents' IQ for sure.

My IQ is half the sum of two primes.

@antirez Running full circle. We think like AI after being exposed to do much AI generated content.

Recently here on X there is this thing of replying to tweets with a vague remark of what the tweet expressed. I see this for months now. I thought most were bots, but as I investigate, I see that many are legitimate humans that are starting acting as bots. Worrying.

@TF1Info @ACCoudray Pourtant on aurait pu penser qu'ils s'étaient bien cloîtrés à condom 😭

Hello followers, it is I. Your king. That is all.

@levelsio Also notice how the explore subagents just used up 120k tokens

Claude Code with Opus 4.6 was so dumb today I finally had to write my own code again A sad state of affairs 🥹

@tekbog @RnaudBertrand lmao didn't expect you to comment about a French politician, thought it was all about breaking prod

@RnaudBertrand career politicians were a mistake

Séjourné is a prime example of the thoroughly incompetent and weak men now governing Europe. The guy never worked a day of his life in the real world and started his short career in 2017 as a political advisor to Macron, but somehow now finds himself in charge of "Prosperity and Industrial Strategy" for the entire EU. This particular interview is so illustrative of his utterly confused and incoherent strategic thinking. He describes showing up to negotiate for rare earths from a Brazilian mine, only to learn the Americans had arrived three days earlier, "put money on the table," and bought everything through 2030. He describes Belgian company Solvay restarting rare earth refining in France - a European industrial success story - only for Washington to swoop in and secure all its output. A European company, in Europe! In short, the Americans are running circles around him and, by his own telling, every concrete setback he's suffered came from Washington. His strategic conclusion? We must "de-risk" from China and prepare for "a major conflict between China and the US." You genuinely cannot parody this. Everything he describes points to an ongoing economic war between the US and Europe - Americans actively sabotaging European resource security and industrial ambitions. And his conclusion is "China bad." The conflict is already here, Stéphane. You're in it. You're losing it. You can't even feel the American hand in your pocket because you've been trained to only look East.

@GrablyR Une différence avec Amazon qui traque les annonces pour des arnaques parce que ça peut détériorer la confiance des clients de la plateforme.

Facebook, premier profiteur des arnaques en ligne? Selon Reuters, 10% de son chiffre d'affaires provient directement des escrocs qui lui achètent de la publicité. Soit 14 milliards d'euros par an pour 15 milliards de publicités affichées chaque jour.

@quatremer @ClientsRATP Je comprends pas pourquoi IDFM s'obstine avec le passe Navigo. Il devrait juste autoriser à l'utilisation des transports en commun avec une carte bleue.

L’occasion de raconter une arnaque numérique spéciale @ClientsRATP : j’ai un passe Navigo numérique avec des billets à l’unité. Je change de telephone. Mais voilà : les billets ne se transmettent pas d’un telephone à l’autre, « c’est dans les conditions générales ». 15 tickets à 2,50€ pour ma pomme. La joie du numérique.

@quatremer Je ne suis pas sûr de comprendre l'intérêt de l'événement.

Je n’arrive pas à déterminer si la Commission est totalement idiote ou profondément méprisante

@burkov I think almost all software engineers play roles, even those who don't aspire to the managers. There is no exception for the software engineers.

I never felt OK working in a company because people playing roles freaked me out. They gather in a meeting room and start playing roles: this one plays the boss, this one plays the excited mid-level manager, this one plays the HR. Before the show starts, there's a ritual of unfunny jokes, after which all suddenly become serious and the show begins. Only software engineers (except those who dream of becoming a software manager) can be normal people when at work. All the rest of them are like puppets with human bodies.

@ChShersh Billionaire dropouts explaining that you missed a chance to make it in 3..2...1

I left my university. My life is still successful. No special secret, I just left after I had graduated.

@trashh_dev Same but without the wife 😭

wife: how’s work going? me: pretty good pretty good

@ImSh4yy Wait, how am I going to make that joke about centering with CSS

left aligned landing pages ftw. center was a mistake.

@KaiserKuo @SinicaPodcast @daveckang @ZenobiaChan @SiuHeiWong2 Keep up the good work, really enjoy listening to your shows Kaiser.

On the latest @SinicaPodcast, I host the authors of the controversial paper "What Does China Want?" in MIT's International Security. @daveckang, @ZenobiaChan, and @SiuHeiWong2 discuss their methodology and their findings — that China does not seek global hegemony. Link below.

@traversymedia Do your kids start every reply with "you're absolutely correct!"?

Coding with AI reminds me of when my kids were little. It doesn’t follow the rules in the rules file. You have to tell it the same shit over and over. Then it just straight up lies and tells you it did what it didn’t 😒

@RnaudBertrand As much as i think the article's title is clickbait, the dude does look like he tried to transfer some data out.

The NY Post title 👇 vs What he actually did 👇 The "confidential research" that he "stole" was his own work on a potential breast cancer vaccine. The real scandal here, besides the NY Post's insane sinophobic framing, is more how researchers have no rights to their own discoveries despite doing all the actual work and even when it could save lives globally.
