3d printing is so awesome. there is this plastic bushing one hondas that interacts with either the clutch neutral safety switch or the brake positive safety switch depending on if its manual or automatic. one day you go to start your car and it wont start because the bushing broke I was able to find some schematics and find out it was part number 46505-SA5-000, then search that + STL to find 3d print files. grabbed a few variations and printed them in @Polymaker_3D ASA. Will test them for fit tomorrow.

What weird about this is it’s like a real time AI filter. Star field has a stylized realistic art style, and it just turns it into uncanny valley ai realism, completely removing that style

Announcing NVIDIA DLSS 5, an AI-powered breakthrough in visual fidelity for games, coming this fall. DLSS 5 infuses pixels with photorealistic lighting and materials, bridging the gap between rendering and reality. Learn More → nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/…

if you're curious, this is what peak looks like for me its when i was spending most hours building sentry. i had clean design, i had the ability to iterate fast, and i had clear progression the second image is the last year where i'm certainly able to generate a lot more code, but i can tell you that the code is far less maintainable (despite how much effort I put into it) i have not gotten less knowledgeable as an engineer, and while technology has certainly gotten needlessly complex, there's something here that is hard to articulate about the current state of LLMs...

im fully convinced that LLMs are not an actual net productivity boost (today) they remove the barrier to get started, but they create increasingly complex software which does not appear to be maintainable so far, in my situations, they appear to slow down long term velocity

Here is a fun one. Somebody is using an AI to post a message (relavant, but stating the obvious) on ALL issues on one of the orgs I’m managing on github. The net result is literally a DoS on maintainers, because he is making any kind of notification management useless. Shall I ban?

These things still require scrutiny, even if they can type a good portion of the task for you.

Been encouraging people to take this distinction. If you are doing real engineering work with agents then it’s not “vibe coding”. There is a hype bubble around this tech and obfuscating the difference only plays into the hype players advantage.
Peter Steinberger 🦞@steipete

@notsunsakis @bcherny don't call it vibe coding - that's associated with yolo i smash head on keyboard, not thinking, engineering, building, testing, debugging, iterating. agentic engineering, or just...coding. We move faster, but it's still hard.

@yenkel Fair thread, maybe some nuance: auth is fragile, and therefore hard, because fragile systems are broken easily and frequently by uncoordinated groups of people.

I need a collaborative google docs but for markdown only product very badly... Comments, live edits, Markdown for the devs, WYSIWYG for the non-devs. Collaborating in beautiful harmony. Do you exist? I'm writing markdown and then shoving that in the notion, and it ain't it, Chief.

the bot replies on here are unbearable. Even many seemingly reputable devs have converted their accounts over to replying with short agreeable summaries What is the end game here? Just keeping accounts warm for when they are really needed?

@aarondfrancis if you smooth over the worktree setup (eg auto deps + env setup) they work great. Most people hit a wall with them tho for this reason. "whys this worktree branch not work but normal branches do?"

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

@DavidWells macOS continuity. No kvm required. Just plug more monitors in and your mouse moves between them

@Re51221264 @TPnTexas @bee_fumo I'm sympathetic to Linux devs facing difficulties getting buggy driver or h/w errata workarounds discovered and implemented, while Windows due to MSFT market power has fixes/workarounds out of the box. Still, by 2006 I had to make a switch. I hope to use Linux again. Best distro?

This is exactly why stack deletion policies and resource retention policies are CRITICALLY important Im not a terraform user but im sure (?) they have this kind of feature like cloudformation does no? In any case, this is the wake up call to platforms that dish out API keys: You need stage aware scoping on tokens & fine grain access controls or your customer adopting the vibe code life are gonna be hitting you up crying later
Alexey Grigorev@Al_Grigor

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read. alexeyondata.substack.com/p/how-i-droppe…
