People with no coherent thoughts of their own always reach for the joke in my bio as proof of their own stupidity.

Oh my god it responded with an actual blueberry pie recipe

RADDBG has so much inbuilt cool visualisations and features that lots of debuggers lack, it's mindblowing. @rfleury walks me through how to get the most out of it youtube.com/watch?v=rcJwvx2C…

Phoenix LiveView 1.2 is released with colocated css and more! Check the announcement for details! phoenixframework.org/blog/ph…

“i never thought that the government would block MY unsafe deployment”, says man who published an opinion piece yesterday in favor of the Government Should Have The Ability To Block Unsafe Deployments party

I wonder how they intend to resolve the issue with Transnistria and, to a somewhat lesser extent, Gagauzia. (They probably have no intention to, and will be kicking the can down the road until heat death of the Universe)

And yet all the music you hear in the background is completely indistinguishable from bum-bum-bum-WHAAAAAAA of every single Nolan film

Just want to make sure people understand what they are arguing, because I've seen this argument come up, and it is not fact-based. The AI tools most commonly used today were not trained exclusively on publicly available and/or purchased books, films, and games. It was trained on literally pirated works. Multiple major AI providers have admitted to this in court already. And it is not as if modern AIs were trained on one or two pirated things, but potentially millions of them. We do not currently know exactly how many, because the furthest-along case (Anthropic) settled out-of-court for a billion-dollar settlement. So just to be clear, the argument being made in the quote below - while an argument we could (and perhaps should) have in the future - is not one we need to have right now, because it is irrelevant to the current facts. We can confine ourselves today to arguing about literal piracy - the analogy is if artists usually learned to draw by going to the bookstore, stealing all the books there without paying for them, and bringing them home to keep.

For people using AI in commercial game development: I'd be interested in hearing the best arguments as to why you think people should pay for the resulting game instead of pirating it. Concisely, if you pirated the inputs, why shouldn't they pirate the output?

Where 90% of American "public facing tech" is "pervasive and invasive tracking, echo chamber algorithms, and interminable slop" heavily peppered with a dose of "back-breaking gig work is all you deserve"

Another rule of thumb: if Russians suddenly yell something about international law — it means they’ve got their asses handed back to them somewhere.

Our lords at Anthropic have graciously allowed the peasants a few more tokens before Fable tells you to go fuck yourself.

anthropics not reversing their decision on making the models worse they're just going to explicitly tell you when it happens thats really it

They are the same picture

or, "we've built this capability, we just won't tell you about it next time"

Imagine if LLM benchmarks were measured in cost to achieve goal rather than accuracy of a one shot prompt Imagine if people actually made benchmarks that meant anything

It's funny and sad tgat so many "features" announced by Apple for *OS27 are "why are they major announcements and not something shipped 15 years ago". Continuous media sending in Messages? Markdown in Notes? Faster Files app? lololol

Hey Elixir friends, the screenshot below is all the realtime code you have to write for a chat room in Hologram (new in v0.9). 17 lines of code. I'd love to take credit for all that simplicity :) But honestly it's an iceberg situation - what you see is the tip, and most of what makes it work sits below the waterline. Clustering, message routing between nodes, process supervision - none of that is Hologram code. It ships with the BEAM, the Erlang VM that's been running telecom switches for decades and powers WhatsApp today. The cluster can grow or shrink and broadcasts keep finding every client connected to it - I didn't write a single line of that routing. What I did build is the layer in between, the part that turns all that raw capability into a declarative API. It sounds like a thin wrapper but it really isn't - there are tombstones, client-side receipts, and a bunch of other machinery underneath whose whole job is keeping those one-liners correct without the developer ever noticing. That's the quiet superpower of building a web framework on Elixir - the BEAM takes care of the distributed systems part, so all my time went into the layer developers actually touch. What's the biggest thing the BEAM has saved you from building?

Brilliant idea! Next up: Apple randomly reboots your Mac if you're building competing tech, Gmail silently edits your email if you mention rival platforms, and Tesla Autopilot swerves if it detects you're working on self-driving cars. All in the name of safety, of course. Because malicious actors controlling the world’s operating systems, inboxes and cars would be extremely dangerous!
