if you're gonna spend enough on a stolen credit card to trigger the fraud alert, maybe choose a slightly less suspicious merchant name

Chase Fraud: We declined $107.95 on the card ending in [censored] at LINK.COM* SPYTECH SOFT.

It's possible to deliver quality code with genAI just like it's possible to be on a diet in a candy shop.

Right now it looks like AI can do "disruption" because you can apparently do things that require a team, as an individual, by taking advantage of highly subsidized token rates, or (at best) taking advantage of highly subsidized training regimes and stolen training data. But those rates will go […]

I agree that imperial units are silly and we should probably run on metric for lots of practical reason. But you gotta admit that they're a fun discussion prompt for trivia; everybody thinks there's an internal logic but it's just all weird history! For example nobody's gonna believe that it's […]

Seeing the damage that "AI" is doing to the Kernel (not just in Slop code being integrated that will bite us later but in making becoming a new kernel developer even harder than it is at a time where we should really be thinking about how to fill that pipeline) is super painful. I think that - […]

I’ve read the rebuttal and I think passkeys are a trap because my experience with them, not because of any of the arguments here. It’s really simple. I have my passkeys in 1Password because they need to be on 3 computers and 3 mobile devices. Recently 1Password went fash so I’d like to leave […]

With everyone glazing ArtCraft because it's "hurting Adobe" and pointedly ignoring that it's AI slop (that doesn't even work as advertised, and is taking attention away from well-written Adobe alternatives), it's important to remember: The enemy of my enemy is not my friend.

When I read that Anthropic source repository post with the "every bottleneck we remove immediately leads to a further increase in the amount of code we produce" quote, I just think back to Ken Thompson's famous quote: "One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code." […]

If "AI" were a mere tool and not a political narrative you wouldn't need to headline "X used AI to do Y" all the time. Anything anyone does while "AI" is involved must reify "AI"'s power and relevance. Because it's not "just a tool", it's a bigger project of disenfranchisement some willingly […]

Corvids are widely considered some of the smartest animals on Earth, with cognitive abilities that rival those of great apes and young human children. Their problem-solving skills, use of tools, make them standout subjects in animal intelligence research.
