@zilasino What not? I’m building heavily with AI tooling but I keep coming back to manual modelling in rails. So much hidden abstractions that AI is less interesting for the fundamentals of rails. I totally understand AI for more boilerplate / verbose environments.

What Rails feature still feels like magic even after years of use?

@thdxr Nice. Just tried it out but Kimi k2.5 seems the around 5 times slower than the zen equivalent. Ran them on similar prompts side by side. By design?

we've increased opencode go's limits by 3x - still $10/month

@euboid @OpenAI Yeah it’s flacky. Just moved all over to Opencode. Much better and faster models.

I love Claude models but their apps are so bad that I've switched almost everything back to @OpenAI - Claude Code: Random freezing/crashing - Macos app: So slow it's unusable - Web app: Random hydration issues - Cowork: takes 30s to load Exhausted before I even open.

@yongfook Same here. Lately been using Opencode with Kimi k2.5 and it excels in such cases. Extremely fast over Opencode zen. I pick it over my Claude Max subscription for these cases.

It's not the complex stuff I appreciate most about Claude, it's things like this. Boring plumbing stuff that has no challenge, that I never have to do again: take a look at the Webhooks edit page, I added a new h1 structure with a link back to the parent. copy this style across all sub / edit / create etc pages so that the user can get back to the index or parent easily.

@NoahKingJr Encrypt your own messages using gpg or age. Use whatever messaging system as a dumb pipe.

WhatsApp can't be trusted. Signal can't be trusted. Telegram can't be trusted. Then what is the solution?

@abacaj No! Open weight models are not far behind. I happily switch between opus and Kimi k2.5. I even find Kimi better and faster + I do most of the reason (fun) parts and Kimi the heavy lifting.

“Make the models cheap to use” “Great, they all forgot how to code” “Now 10x the price”

@aarondfrancis I take back my answer. I often make changes that are not specific to the working branch so I want to commit it to main / master. Not being able to checkout the main branch in the worktree dir is headache. I guess worktrees is for people that work very linear and less cluttered.

@aarondfrancis All also thought separate checkouts were the way until I used the lazygit TUI. Which is, for me, a way nicer UI to git than the cli.

Why do people like git worktrees over discrete checkouts? (This isn't bait, it's research)

@peer_rich People seeing kids as problems wtf? Kids are the first time this life is not about you. See the beauty in that or have a hard time.

for 5 months now people close to me keep telling me it gets worse with the baby “wait until he turns 1 month” > turns 1 month: its fine “ohh wait until he turns 2 months!!” > turns 2 months: its fine “oohhh but wait until he is teething!!” > starts teething: its fine “ohhh but wait until…” WHY??? just let a baby and parent in peace lol

@openclaw Fuck what an arrogance to compare yourself to Linux. Be humble of your own success.

We just passed React on GitHub stars. 🦞 Let that sink in. A personal AI assistant built by a lobster-obsessed Austrian and an army of crustacean enthusiasts just outstarred the library that powers half the internet. We shipped 90+ changes today. They shipped a conference.

@yongfook Doing exactly the same. When I try to be to clever you get the feeling you work against the system. Like swimming against te current, just flow with the river.

I’ve never once thought “oh there must be a special way to ask this”. Maybe this is due to me using Rails though. Everything is in a predictable place, I don’t have to explain where things live, it just knows.

Hot take: prompt engineering is BS I just talk to Claude as if it's a human and it works great. The idea that among 1 trillion parameters, Joe Nobody has figured out the optimal input X to get outcome Y is laughable. Just talk to the damn thing bro.

Yesterday a quasi-judicial body in Italy fined @Cloudflare $17 million for failing to go along with their scheme to censor the Internet. The scheme, which even the EU has called concerning, required us within a mere 30 minutes of notification to fully censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal of European media elites deemed against their interests. No judicial oversight. No due process. No appeal. No transparency. It required us to not just remove customers, but also censor our 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver meaning it risked blacking out any site on the Internet. And it required us not just to censor the content in Italy but globally. In other words, Italy insists a shadowy, European media cabal should be able to dictate what is and is not allowed online. That, of course, is DISGUSTING and even before yesterday’s fine we had multiple legal challenges pending against the underlying scheme. We, of course, will now fight the unjust fine. Not just because it’s wrong for us but because it is wrong for democratic values. In addition, we are considering the following actions: 1) discontinuing the millions of dollars in pro bono cyber security services we are providing the upcoming Milano-Cortina Olympics; 2) discontinuing Cloudflare’s Free cyber security services for any Italy-based users; 3) removing all servers from Italian cities; and 4) terminating all plans to build an Italian Cloudflare office or make any investments in the country. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue that also threatens democratic values. And in this case @ElonMusk is right: #FreeSpeech is critical and under attack from an out-of-touch cabal of very disturbed European policy makers. I will be in DC first thing next week to discuss this with U.S. administration officials and I’ll be meeting with the IOC in Lausanne shortly after to outline the risk to the Olympic Games if @Cloudflare withdraws our cyber security protection. In the meantime, we remain happy to discuss this with Italian government officials who, so far, have been unwilling to engage beyond issuing fines. We believe Italy, like all countries, has a right to regulate the content on networks inside its borders. But they must do so following the Rule of Law and principles of Due Process. And Italy certainly has no right to regulate what is and is not allowed on the Internet in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Brazil, India or anywhere outside its borders. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN!!!

@dhh inspiring to read the fizzy source code. I read Jason talk about view-source. What tooling do you use at Basecamp to make the websites like fizzy.do?

Turned out to be a hassle to coordinate a separate fizzy-saas gem with the main fizzy code base, so we repatriated the gem within the primary repo. Can't fathom how people live with having to coordinate a fleet of microservices on cross-cutting deploys! github.com/basecamp/fizzy…

@chrisklomp Nostalgie is omgekeerd geheugenverlies

Het is ook wel heel erg een zure boomer-ding trouwens. Sommige mannen worden nogal bitter als ze ouder worden. En dan is ineens vroeger fantastisch. Terwijl dat natuurlijk valse romantiek is.

Ik las van voormalig journalist @wierdduk de volgende woorden: 'Wat we vroeger hadden – een hoogstaande, veilige, welvarende beschaving – dat hebben ze kapotgemaakt'. Serieus? Vergelijk de misdaadcijfers met het verleden en je ziet een veel onveiligere maatschappij toen.

The prophecy is finally coming true! Microsoft and Apple have been fumbling their offerings for developers, so now is the perfect time to simply decide to try Linux. It literally takes as little as two minutes to install!! youtube.com/watch?v=GQJZ96…

@forgebitz @levelsio Bedoel je in Nederland? Bizar, ik woon in het oosten en ik kan me niet voorstellen dat iemand hier iets van zou vinden.

@levelsio zou hier dus niet mogen

Brazil has a Dutch milk brand with a real milkmaid /r/mildlyinteresting

@dhh @wmchristie Check the“keuringsdienst van waarde” . It is supposed to be very labor intensive and therefore most bakeries, supermarkets etc buy them deep frozen from a company that makes very descent croissants. Guess this is the case for the 7-11 as well. kro-ncrv.nl/programmas/keu…

@wmchristie Funny thing is that most croissants in Copenhagen are also very bad. I've yet to find a proper bakery that makes a good one. But for some damn reason, the ones you get at 7-11 are very competent. Haven't solved that mystery either.

One day I'm going to solve the mystery of why even the finest bakeries and hotels in America can't produce a Croissant on par with a Danish 7-11 or a Spanish gas station.

@levelsio tried a varier variable? I’ve had back pain issues for 15 years. Tried alot of chairs. Since this chair its almost gone. They look awesome btw! No need for height adjustment because long and shorter people will use the same desk height. IDeal for a large table setup.

What chairs to get for the coworking in my house? I'd need about 8 of them, 3 on each side, then 1 on each of the ends I hate Aeron chairs btw they cut off my leg blood flow

@levelsio @euaccofficial Goed bezig!!

If you want to fix this and give Europeans opportunities again, while keeping the nice lifestyle Follow @euaccofficial euacc.com

The only thing young people in Southern Europe can do is drink and smoke because there's absolutely zero opportunities for them to do anything else They have little to no economic opportunities available, no jobs, no housing to rent or buy to move out of your parent's place and regulation makes it close to impossible to even run your own business The only thing you can do is hope you can leave and work abroad and then return at age 65 when you've made enough money and buy some farmland Their governments have failed their people for decades Tragic is what it is But yes it's a "vibe"
