I think this might be the longest blog post I've ever written. Kinda ironic considering it's about a Kotlin library and Java world is famous for its verbosity 🤣 sasablagojevic.com/writing-and-pu…

lucky to have had this moment

RF-DETR is the best open-source choice if you work with aerial or satellite images in this specific project, RF-DETR Medium outperformed YOLO26 fine-tuned on the same dataset by 12 mAP in object detection, that is a huge gap link: github.com/roboflow/rf-de…

@jackmcdade I just ordered a BenQ RD280UA 🤷‍♂️

I'm having the worst time trying to replace my LG 5K monitor after the display port died. I tried the new BenQ 5k (MA270S) designed for MacBooks but it sucked – none of the controls were native (e.g. keyboard brightness keys don't work, volume control is on the monitor w/ cheap plastic buttons, etc) and the night shift/true tone implementation was terrible. It felt like a $200 monitor with a $1k price tag. So I returned it and just bought the new Studio Display 2, but it has so many bugs it's ridiculous. It doesn't wake w/ the MBP, I have to unplug and plug it back in. The webcam features don't work (no option for Studio Light, Center Stage, Portrait Mode, etc), and half the time the non-Thunderbolt USB ports don't work. At all. Oh and if you're in clamshell mode you can't control screen brightness or use the webcam at all either. So I submitted a return order and bought a used Studio Display 1 but thought hey, lets try that Nano Texture, I've got some glare. Wellll my eyes are wigging out after just 10 minutes and I can't do it. It's all blurry and I feel a headache coming on. 🫠 How's your week going?

@elvissun @FastCompany @garrytan 😂

this thread is what mass cope from legacy devs looks like. i talked to @FastCompany about why @garrytan's "AI slop" is actually the future of software engineering. the mass code review. the line-by-line gatekeeping. the "craftsmanship" that was really just slow iteration disguised as rigor - that era is over. and the engineers who built their entire identity around it are panicking. @gregorein brags about burning 3 billion tokens last year while dunking on garry for flexing lines of code. i've burned 6.6 billion in the past three months on codex alone. by his own logic, i'm 8x as credible. see how silly that sounds? yes, he found real issues. yes, they got fixed. that's exactly the point. karpathy's autoresearch proved this already - AI agents can solve very complex problems just by operating inside feedback loops, iterating to optimize a loss function. this is what software engineering is now - gradient descent. ship, measure, self-correct, repeat. all by the agent itself. this is the new startup playbook. your job isn't to review every line before deploy. your job is to build systems where agents observe outcomes - mrr, analytics, error rates, user behavior - and self-improve. the engineer's role shifts from gatekeeper to building the machine that builds the machine. you could run this level of audit (using AI) on any production site and find the same issues - most just don't have a billionaire CEO attached for virality. mocking the people who adapted is easier than adapting. but the craft is evolving whether you like it or not.

There’s an important distinction here. Bad music doesn’t hurt anyone. Bad software does. Unless we bully all devs into caring about the craft, we’ll be living in the world where your payments get failed, you can’t book air tickets, you wait 20 seconds for the website to load, you overload support with tons of requests because your website is shite, you private data will leak, you have to reenter visa form 20 times because refresh loses all the files in data, you can’t close the website or lose the internet while you’re uploading a 5 MB PDF that takes forever, and so on. The world without demand for quality is the world of endless frustration.

Kad gradonačelnik priča o Londonu, mi se sjetimo Banjaluke Kad najavljuje "Lokomotive promjena", mi svakodnevno svjedočimo infrastrukturnim banalnostima, jer možda imamo “moćnu” zgradu kao u Londonu (i bolju ako pitate njega), ali šahtovi i slivnici su ipak druga priča...

If you have a Thunderbolt or USB4 eGPU and a Mac, today is the day you've been waiting for! Apple finally approved our driver for both AMD and NVIDIA. It's so easy to install now a Qwen could do it, then it can run that Qwen...

@GergelyOrosz psychopaths

This Delve story is going from “very bad” to “beyond very bad.” Apparently Delve’s founders were so shameless that they 1. Charged a fellow YC company (Sim) their full free for “auditing” (that turned out to be fake) 2. Then ripped off Sim’s IP, and sold it to customers for $$

>512K lines of code It’s crazy that claude code is only half as many lines of code as garry’s gstack. Why does anyone use this?

Deleting code is the best kind of engineering. Period. Simplicity > Lines of code. While the whole world of vibe coders brags about pushing tens of thousands of LOC a day, I'm actually happier when my codebase shrinks every now and then, usually when I spot repeating patterns and extract reusable code into a better architecture. File Pilot is only a little above 100k LOC right now, which I already consider a lot. And I've been working on it for 4 years straight. So when I see people here talking about how they push thousands of LOC a day, I'm like... there is no way in the world you understand that code and all the implications of all the pieces that have to communicate with each other. You're gonna lock yourself so fast, into a place of such complexity that not even AI will be able to help. And for what? Speed? In generating mediocre junk code. You only value your time. I value my users time. We're not the same.

Here is my prediction: The Magnificent Seven - Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla - will continue to push AI down our throats despite diminishing returns to its users, simply because they’ve invested so much they’ve gone past a point of no return. That notwithstanding, the inevitable Great Implosion will happen to companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI because open source models that can be run locally - with minimal capex and zero risk of surveillance - are quickly and irreversibly becoming good enough. The whole ”AGI is just around the corner” is a meaningless and silly distraction.

i made tetris but the board and pieces are attached to your body and it's quite tiring to play

Ironic how Anthropic sells Claude Code security reviews positioned as something v powerful (costing $15-25 per PR review), and being clear they use it on all PRs... then leaking all of Claude Code's code thanks to publishing their sourcemap. AI won't save you from yourself!

so claude code's entire safety system for "dangerous" cyber security work is just...a text prompt literally replace it with an empty string and recompile. thats it. enjoy your unrestricted version

Garry Tan should be inspiring bc he is living proof you can “make it” whilst having 0 fucking brain cells.

My development approach (since ca. 2021) - maximize isolation & minimize blast radius: - Never install any dev tools on the main system - Never run npm/pip/etc install locally - Use a VM per project/group of related projects - Never share prod credentials with dev VMs - Never forward SSH keys to dev VMs - Use a highly guarded "deploy machine" as a bastion to access production - Make sure no release pipelines can be triggered by a public PR or a push from a dev VM If a single dev VM is compromised by a supply chain attack or, since recently, a rogue agent, I tear it down (or seal it for further investigation) and provision a replacement. If back in 2021 it felt like a stretch, today it's rather a necessity given how much the supply chain attacks have accelerated.

Anthropic CEO, wasn't lying when he said “I have engineers within anthropic who don’t write any code, they just let Claude write the code and they edit it and look it over” he gave us live examples and respect for the transparency 🫡
