I have my own conspiracy theory that Sam Altman deliberately provoked a RAM shortage to slow down local LLM development. If that’s the case… it’s not working.

Quick spoiler: it won’t happen. Microsoft already went through this with the handheld market when the Steam Deck launched. Their response? A “handheld version” of Windows with a laggy UI, the same bloatware, and all the usual telemetry running in the background.

What is crazy is that the RTX 5070ti went up to $1,000+ and people are still purchasing it over the AMD 9070 and XT.

Unironically, I don't know anyone who achieved anything meaningful with OpenClaw

Imagine it turning pink after two weeks.

Can someone explain why people expected Apple, of all companies, to release an affordable laptop with plenty of RAM in the middle of a global RAM shortage? I mean… it’s Apple.

Harsh truth: you cannot vibecode an app unless you are a developer yourself.

This video is the "Never Gonna Give You Up" of programming.

@ScottDeWittt I live in nyc

@CoreDumpped You’re in nyc now??

More dog shit than snow on NYC sidewalks. HOW??

The Claude C Compiler is the first AI-generated compiler that builds complex C code, built by @AnthropicAI. Reactions ranged from dismissal as "AI nonsense" to "SW is over": both takes miss the point. As a compiler🐉 expert and experienced SW leader, I see a lot to learn: 👇

@ssskryl I guess you can’t count Anthropic’s either. Also, compilers don’t “boot” kernels

@CoreDumpped I can count on one hand the number of published c compilers that can boot a modern Linux kernel on x86 and arm.

A C compiler is one of the most over-represented “serious projects” in software engineering. Students, hobbyists, researchers. Thousands have written and published one. Is the model solving problem or statistically reconstructing patterns from a saturated training distribution?

New Engineering blog: We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C compiler. Then we (mostly) walked away. Two weeks later, it worked on the Linux kernel. Here's what it taught us about the future of autonomous software development. Read more: anthropic.com/engineering/bu…

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.

"Programmers will automate themselves out of existence." That's what they said. And programmers laughed so hard they couldn't respond. Two years into the AI revolution, here's what actually happened: What the doomers predicted: 1./ AI writes all the code 2./ Developers become obsolete 3./ Only managers and marketers survive 4./ Programming becomes a dead career What actually happened: 1./ AI writes code that needs debugging by developers 2./ Developers spend more time reviewing AI output than writing from scratch 3./ The skill gap between good and bad developers got WIDER, not narrower 4./ Demand for senior developers who understand what AI can't do went UP The brutal irony nobody saw coming: AI didn't replace developers. It replaced the developers who thought AI would do their job for them. Here's the real shift: - Junior devs who learn to prompt AI? Productive. - Senior devs who understand system design? Irreplaceable. - Developers who just copy-paste without understanding? Already obsolete (AI just made it obvious). - Managers who thought they could skip hiring developers? Drowning in unmaintainable AI-generated code. We're not laughing because we're safe. We're laughing because the people who predicted our extinction don't understand what we actually do. AI is a tool. And like every tool before it, it makes good developers better and exposes bad developers faster.

Yo @googlemaps wtf is this?

He developed unix on a teletype, btw

@jakkuh_t ’s video sold me on these headphones — might be saying goodbye to my Beats 👀

Every time I use Windows, my mind is blown by how infuriating to use this OS that runs on like 80% of the world’s PCs is
