Rob Pike having an absolutely justified crashout about an automated unprompted email spam from an AI slop company. How tone deaf you have to be to send something like this???

karpathy speaks like someone who’s running a mental compiler in real time with minimal interpretive latency & almost zero runtime garbage. he’s not verbose. he just threads complexity into compressed lossless statements. most smart people can be dense, but they lose clarity. karpathy keeps clarity while cranking the bitrate like an llm tuned with perfect temperature control. it’s so beautiful to listen to that i had to hear this three times already. i might add a fourth.

The best decision OpenAI made with Sora was making it iOS only. Android users lack taste and would ruin the whole thing

A year ago, coders used AI for autocomplete and chat-based edits. Then came Replit Agent; the first of its kind. We proved you could go from a prompt to a production app. That shift inspired others and changed how software gets written. But this is only the beginning. Our team has never been more driven to deliver the next leap in AI coding. Happy Birthday, Agent! Photo: Labor Day, 2024, last big push before launch. Agent barely worked reliably then, but somehow we made it!

GNOME Attacks Lunduke & XLibre Dev, in Anti-Jewish, Libelous, Defamatory Way GNOME calls Lunduke a "fascist maggot" and "apartheid, ethnosupremacist, babykiller apologist clown", XLibre Dev an "actual Nazi, transphobe, 911 truther nut job".

We are on the verge of a massive downgrade in Desktop Linux. Major Desktop Environments (GNOME, KDE) and some Distros (like Ubuntu) are dropping X11. This means significant loss of accessibility features, loss of longstanding functionality, and loss of some application compatibility. (Plus reduced performance for some pieces of software.) Major Distros (like Fedora) are looking at dropping 32 bit support. Not just for binaries to run on 32 bit CPUs… but 32bit compatibility libraries as well. This means a loss of compatibility with 32 bit software running on 64 bit systems — which includes a *huge* number of commercial games. Less features. Less accessibility. Less software. Less performance. What’s absolutely bizarre to me… is this is all by design. “Open Source” foundations — controlled and influenced by a few specific Big Tech corporations — are pushing all of it.

craigslist is the ultimate example terrible design but solved a real need so people used it anyway. the bar for launching is lower than we think!
