For those of you who want to hear it - progress is never linear. Sure, there might be folks in your cohort who'd appear to be further along in "adulting goals". That's no reason to be hard on yourself and live unsustainably. Life is not a straight line. Learn to savor it.

@esrtweet Also I don't update my machine that often - probably update it once a month or so. And whenever possible, will use the lts version - at least for my kernel, zfs drivers etc.

Question for the X hivemind: I'm seriously considering switching my main machine from Pop!_OS (a reskinned Ubuntu) to Arch, probably CachyOS. The reason is I'm attracted to the rolling-release concept. Getting really tired of waiting 6 months for my development tools to upgrade after they ship. I understand the downside: Arch doesn't protect me from upstream breakage. The plan to deal with that is to install snapper so I can revert to an earlier, working version of my system if things go badly awry. If you think there are any reasons this is a really bad plan, tell me now.

Now the real question is, who buys ask.com and how much is it auctioned for! Pretty sure someone is going to grab it and put an LLM behind it.

I respectfully disagree. The chain of thought that comes out of thinking is what leads to stepping stones towards understanding. I practice Indian classical music and I can understand a complex phrase that is sung and dissect it. But trying to sing it the exact same way is non trivial and can't just purely be extended from understanding and requires thought and effort.

I'll be blunt - I hate it when people diss out at others with the term "skill issue". Sure, that may be true but you don't have to be condescending if you don't want to help! If the buddha had thought meditation was a skill issue (which it is), he wouldn't have taught others!

This is a glimpse of big changes ahead of us. If you’re betting on big central models you should think twice. I run the exact same setup (M5 MacBook, qwen3.6-27B, pi, ollama) and while its not as fast or good as one of the big central models, it’s past the line of “cool demo” into “truly useful.” Kind of where the big frontier models were in late 2025. In ~24 months we might have local models that are fast and good enough for most tasks.

This is where we are right now. And i’m not gonna lie it feels pretty magical 🧚‍♀️ Qwen3.6 27B running inside of Pi coding agent via Llama.cpp on the MacBook Pro For non-trivial tasks on the @huggingface codebases, this feels very, very close to hitting the latest Opus in Claude Code, or whatever shiny monopolistic closed source API of the day is. In full airplane mode. Most people haven’t realized this yet. If you have, it means you have a huge headstart to what I call the second revolution of AI. Powerful local models for efficiency, security, privacy, sovereignty 🔥

This day was coming. Even if Anthropic rolls back now, there will be a day when all developers are hooked on to the drug that is agentic coding and frontier model providers will knock on your door step asking for more money! Enterprise customers and VC funded startups will have all the cash to burn. Bootstraps and hobbyists will unfortunately suffer!

About two months ago I announced that I was beginning a march through my backlog of personal projects with fire and sword and robot friend, aiming to clean out all of my technical debt. I have in fact been maintaining a steady project-release pace of one per day ever since. I'm down to just five projects left to ship updates for...and my backlog of bugs, MRs, and serious to-do items is clear. I cannot remember the last time I had this light a burden of Stuff I Really Ought To Do. It's been at least 40 years. I'm not going to run out of work. I have two biggish projects in mind for after, neither of which I'm willing to talk about yet because I believe in show, don't tell. And there's always that book on programmer mindset I have almost finished, and the science-fiction novel I keep meaning to get back to. I expected to live out a statistically normal lifespan and die with a lot of projects still not quite finished and stable enough to be up to my standards. Powerful AI assistance has changed all that. All bitching about slop cannons and hallucinations aside, these are truly wondrous times.

Now I understand the full picture. The cleanest fix is... But actually, the real fix simpler... Actually wait. The best fix: Now the real fix. Actually, let me reconsider. OK Key finding: Wait I need a hardware device I can physically punch to stop the agentic session.

There's inefficiencies strewn over everywhere and the gripe is it's increasingly non-uniform across the world! And we aren't likely paying a fair value for these tokens either and these are heavily subsidized today!
Gergely Orosz@GergelyOrosz

Devs game everything and anything seen as a target for more bonus or promos. This was no different. Talked w devs at Meta and this was SO MUCH waste - just to get on the leaderboard!! Meta removed the leaderboard now. Source: me (Next up I expect to do the same: Microsoft)

My discovery is entirely through LLMs for the last year or so! Sure, AI can't do this directly but it points me what to buy! To a reasonably competent and more importantly, willing person, LLMs are magical and reduce a whole lot of inertia!

guys, i honestly do not like clowning on Gary. I don't find being the butt of a joke funny, so I imagine he does not either. But, this is what worries me about where we are going. We are actively encouraging an entire generation that the tech is there when its not, and a couple of silly mistakes made on a website isn't the end of the world, but people's data and breaches are serious. We are entering a very VERY hackable world, and I do not like it one bit.
gregorein@Gregorein

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🧵

You can imagine Anthropic being in a pickle: 1. Do they just leave this, and look the other way, ignoring that it's not exactly fair to transform their code and leave it up there 2. Do they claim copyright applies... but this could be bad for their own business in much bigger ways: eg imagine regulation coming into play that bans this. Claude Code and other tools would have to refuse this kind of generation. Lawsuits against AI labs could spike etc So my bet is #1 happens. Not the interest of an AI lab to expand copyright protections to derived work cretated by an LLM...

This is either brilliant or scary: Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA. BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!
