@sanderdesnaijer Control it with your fingers and what now? I'm intrigued.

@realstevegedzyk @wonderofscience And now his cars can drive all by themselves

@wonderofscience What’s crazier is before the Wright Bros 1st flight, Tesla was using very high voltage, electrostatic fields to power electronics miles away without any wires. He powered the first electric vehicles with electrostatic fields but they didn’t need giant, heavy, expensive batteries.

These two photographs are separated by only 66 years.

I asked Claude:
Yes. Git's value is collaboration between humans — branching, merging, code review, blame, history for understanding "why was this changed." I don't need any of that. I have the full context of
why every change was made — it's in our conversation.
rsync to a backup location would give me everything I actually need: a snapshot I can restore from if something goes wrong. No branches, no commits, no merge conflicts, no PR reviews.
English
AI is quietly deprecating GitHub.
Agents do not need branches, PRs, or CI/CD rituals. They want to ship code straight to the cloud.
The rsync renaissance is here.
High availability. Zero bloat. Faster loops.

@teej_dv @nikitabier Yes, the revenue they bring to the platform is the same, but they get a much smaller share.
English
If I'm reading it correctly, you're saying this is exclusively about rev share, not about impressions/interactions/etc?
I see a lot of people concerned about not being able to see or interact with stuff outside of their region, but I'm just reading this as they will still be able to do that, it'll instead be just for the love of the game.
English
Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X:
We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language.
While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform.
We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

@msimoni Why not? It's pretty stable. In the screenshot you can see we leave gaps to be able to add lines in between. If you run out of space you can jump somewhere else and continue there, no need to renumber lines.
English
Wondering how much better version control could be if each line of code had a stable UUID?

@PirateSoftware AI assisted is quickly becoming the default, while handcrafted work is turning into the exception and perhaps even a mark of distinction for a select few. Pretending AI assisted is not already the norm feels increasingly dishonest.

Ybarra telling players to "man up" when they are calling out undisclosed Gen AI usage in Crimson Desert is peak CEO disconnect.
Steams ToS requires Gen AI usage to be disclosed to customers. Crimson Desert didn't and is now apologizing for it. Just disclose and let people choose. You deserve to know what you're buying.
Mike Ybarra@Qwik
@CrimsonDesert_ Why apologize? AI, in one form or another, will be in every single video game. I don't get why devs feel the need to bend over for the few folks who can't accept the reality that AI will be in every single thing - from video games to your fridge (it already is). Man up.

@steveruizok They are very disrespectful, don't know boundaries. I caught my agent nosing around in a .env file
English
Is there an .agentsignore file that Claude/Codex respects?
English
@fodiographer @AlexanderNL Or Musk is trying to delay it to 4/20
English
@AlexanderNL That RDW postponed the date is actually a good sign. Why postpone if they are going to reject it anyway. They are probably in talks with Tesla to resolve somethings. My 2 cents

@specialkdelslay Printers were solved by the early 80s. Incentives are what led to the sad state of modern printers. It's fortunate that we don't need printers anymore.
English
And they're ass too
I realized in part it's bc no one is actually printing a lot anymore, they just save stuff on their various lil devices, so there is no incentive really to make consumer printers better, when most don't need them to be
doomer@uncledoomer
there really is a "fix everything right now" button for buying a printer and its been the same for 20 years

This is what we get for the EU making us use the same connector. We could have had a eSATA or SCSI port. :-)

When you plug a drive into the USB 2.0 port on MacBook Neo macOS warns you that you’ve entered 2008

@GergelyOrosz On the other hand, if electricians are not yet automated, there is a clear need for more programmers
English
Talking with a 12-year old next door:
Him: “So I think I decided what job I want to do when I’m a grown up.”
Me: “What is it?”
Him: “Electrician. I wanted to be a programmer last year, but AI won’t be able to do the electrician job so it’s better. And also interesting.”

I've plotted the most expensive McDonald's burger and the least expensive MacBook over time. This analysis projects that the most expensive burger will be more expensive than the cheapest laptop as soon as 2081

@stevesi Yes, without the EU this would've been a lightning connector.

@ankkala @AlfaEco36698 But then you couldn't generate the function call with a list creation function and the whole point of lisp is to do that.
English
Why is LISP syntax Like That?
I mean how much would it have cost to do f (A B) like a normal person instead of (f A B)
English
@Jonathan_Blow @valigo Lisp is what happens when you have to write your parser in lisp
English
@valigo Lisp is what happens when you put as little work as possible into your parser, language semantics, and code generation.
English
I just had a revelation that LISP, in its superiority, does not need operator precedence. You always write everything in functional form, and there is no ambiguity what applies to what!
Obvious in hindsight, but I got a real "whoa" moment after thinking through it explicitly!

Okay, take 2: here are all the *checks notes* 16 convex non-chiral uniform polyhedra with only 3, 4, 6 and 8-gons as faces!

@openfangg I guess snakes don't have souls, but they have hands now...?

OpenFang is now public: openfang.sh
Jaber@Akashi203
We open sourced an operating system for ai agents 137k lines of rust, MIT licensed we love @openclaw and it inspired a lot of what we built. but we wanted something that works at the kernel level so we built @openfangg agents run inside WASM sandboxes the same way processes run on linux. the kernel schedules them, isolates them, meters their resources, and kills them if they go rogue. it has 16 security layers baked into the core. WASM sandboxing, merkle hash-chain audit trails, taint tracking on secrets, signed agent manifests, prompt injection detection, SSRF protection, and more. every layer works independently. giving an LLM tools with zero isolation is insane and we're not doing it. we also created something called Hands. right now every ai agent is a chatbot that waits for you to type. Hands are different. you activate one and it runs on a schedule, 24/7, no prompting needed. your Lead Hand finds and scores prospects every morning and delivers them to your telegram before you wake up. your Researcher Hand writes cited reports while you sleep. your Collector Hand monitors targets and builds knowledge graphs continuously. they work for you. you don't babysit them github.com/RightNow-AI/op… ⭐

@openfangg Can we talk about the real alignment problem?
The crustacean-themed agent runtime isn’t written in Rust… but the snake-themed one is?
