@doas_matroshkya @MassivvC_ @vaxryy How are you even evaluating any Linux topics when you have no idea it became so popular? It appears you are very far from this topic. What else do you delete that you casually googled years ago?

@MassivvC_ @vaxryy See x.com/doas_matroshky…

wikipedia editors back at it debating whether to delete the hyprland page 2 nanoseconds after someone brought it back

All of the AIs love to write a LOT of absurdly unnecessary tests. "Integration tests" with thousand of lines but do not test a single actual functionality is very common. These LOC metrics serve just one purpose: it shows who has no idea about software development, when they brag about it.

The acceleration from AI is unbelievable. After *only 5 weeks* of development on a new project with 4 devs, we have over 4,000 tests. That's ~200 tests per dev/week! Absolutely no way we could've done this by hand. Vitest runs them all in under 15 seconds on my M1 Mac.

@Gigabear_X @CelestialFlea @Grummz Backed it in 2013. The "haters vs fanboys" is still fun to watch. Game is bugged, bad performance, "next year" talk since 10 years. But it's unique, one of best space games (there aren't many), and you can have fun with it, knowing it's alpha.

I used to be riding the scam train hard like most of the internet, but at one point while doing that I was approached by someone being quite reasonable on Twitter. Because of that I decided I needed to inform myself on the state of the game rather than continue hating on it with no real idea what was actually going on. I was a backer that very day in December 2019. I would go on to reach Space Marshall. Not just because I wanted the biggest ships possible, but because it was something I wanted to see get made. Have not regretted it.

Since 2018 I was mocked, trolled and worse for calling Ashes of Creation a scam. That's all gone now for obvious reasons. Today some of that is happening for calling Star Citizen a legitimate project despite the significant delays. I look forward to being vindicated again.

@Gregorein Are people really impressed by "LOC" ? That's comically absurd.

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🧵

@HostOfMeta @notch logical vs bitwise sounds even more confusing, as all shifts are bitwise. "arithmetic" makes sense as it fills sign bit. the "logical" is better called "zero-filling" or "unsigned" shift

@notch legacy names call it as >> is arithmetic shift >>> is logical shift but really >> does a logical shift and >>> a bitwise one, now they align with && as logical, and and & as bitwise.

Why is it still called arithmetic/logical right shift? These are the logical/bitwise kind of operations! Devs keeping historical names make slop more complex for newcomers for having to relearn all the past context. >> and >>> work similar to && and & now their names can align

@JsonBasedman vibe coders haven't discovered filesystem permissions yet

We need like, --kinda-dangerously-skip-permissions I dint give a fuck about whatever long tail esoteric git command you've cooked up for some reason, just don't rm -rf my home dir

@PuniaAaryan @ThePrimeagen it's not okay, it's utterly dumb nonsense

@ThePrimeagen I think number of commits/PRs is a pretty okay metric

i politely asked... why are we still doing this?

@ifeama_Ebuka @Adityapandeydev you will of course pick up things, true - but you will never learn simplicity, stability, using generic instead of hardcoding and such.

@pschiel @Adityapandeydev I learnt most of react from vibe coding...it works for some people

Unpopular opinion: if you spend enough time vibe coding, you'll eventually learn to code

@TheCloudCover @thdxr there's not a single shell in win32 (native/msys) where their own tests pass. insisting on mixing / with \ will leave it broken forever due to obvious reasons. at least gemini and codex started to normalize to / now. they will be cross-platform, opencode not.

@thdxr on the plus side you'll have a monopoly on Windows devs

so we were the only idiots trying to support linux windows and macos on day 1 of our desktop app huh even codex didn't do it

@thdxr what Windows support.. trying since December get a patch through that would fix 40+ Windows bugs - you're literally working against it. Barely any tool works correct, bun segfaults even in meantime. you *could* supprt it if you wanted.

@michael_chomsky seems fine. vibe coded, vibe reported. nobody should put in any effort to report critical issues in massive slop.

This is definitely NOT the right way to handle this kind of vulnerability. If you find a critical vulnerability like this don't handle it like Nagli did. You try to reach the maintainer through any channel possible, and if you fail you can publicly message something like this WITHOUT disclosing scope, details, or screenshots. This did more harm than good and should not be encouraged.

@tsoding good idea. but we need better prompts. precise ones. concise, correct and with a logical sound structure. we could call them... programming language maybe?

Wait, this sounds incredible useful! Can we just have a model with 0 entropy, 0 hallucinations, that just acts like a retrieval database over its training dataset? Also sounds like a great way to solve the traceability problem. Why don't the AI labs just make something like that?

@korulang @Kinchi3538 @_trish_xD just say it's a memory address. an 8year old will understand it. no need for gnomes ;)

@Kinchi3538 @_trish_xD That is my point. It isn't hard until you try to explain it, and I've seen all kinds of attempts. "This is a little box that holds a value and the pointer is a garden gnome that knows where it lives."

C is NOT a hard language. Most people just don’t have the patience to learn pointers properly.

Jetzt wird es lustig 😅 um die Machtübernahme der AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt zu verhindern, müsste sich die CDU mit SPD und Linken zu einer Blutwurst-Koalition 😂 (außen schwarz, innen hell- und dunkelrot) zusammentun! Die AfD hat aber noch mehr Potenzial und dann müsste sogar eine Rote-Bete-Koaltion 🤣 (schwarz-rot-rot-lila) mit dem BSW her. Kaum denkbar, dass das funktionieren würde 😆 share.google/VllBRrqViORqMq…

@pedroviana @Zai_org z.ai is so absurdly slow, my local crappy instance is even faster than that.

@Zai_org I have Coding Max plan (yearly) and Z.AI is terribly slow when compared to Sonnet 4.5 and Opus 4.5. I want my money back

@GergelyOrosz you sound like all software is "finished", no bugs, nothing to maintain, just add slop and that's it? it needs a very strong belief that next versions of AI will be capable to clean up the mess and maintain at zero to little cost

The many people who will be unhappy about their AI-instructed PR not merged will also learn rapidly that open source is very much “remixable” with AI support: Fork the code, make the change: it’s now yours! Open source might just explode with remixes honestly…

I cannot unsee the death of the pull request in open source upon us. PRs from external contributors made a lot of sense when it was hard to write code, and it took lots of time investment (+ lots of thinking!) to do so. Now that it takes seconds/minutes: dynamics change

@Yuchenj_UW Everytime someone says "AI does 100% of my work", I read that as "I am totally useless now and shouldn't have this job", sounds super weird... surely not marketing speak at all :-)

Codex writes 100% code for OpenAI researcher roon just like Claude Code writes 100% code for Anthropic researchers.

@jeremyfirth @Itsfoss Omarchy is nothing productive, rolling release will constantly shred your system. The fanbase always post same screenshots: fresh installed after crash, showing neofetch and fancy top, because nobody is actuall working with it ;-)

@Itsfoss "Install Omarchy" they said. Install Omarchy. It's cool. Install some software. Learn the keystrokes. Reboot tomorrow. Cannot login. No response on keyboard or mouse. Reinstall. Repeat loop. Same ending. Bye!

What's the reason behind people not using Linux?

@Itsfoss Buy some modern/good/specialized hardware and you will instantly notice. If you get a sound out of a soundcard in Linux you're lucky. Multimedia/driver support still sucks, unfortunately.
