It sounds a lot to me like what you’re doing is actually undefined behavior, but I’m sure there’s something you understand that I don’t

Whoa that’s miles away from the sleek experience it is through e.g. mise or JS package managers directly 😞 Do you mind if I tag or forward this to a dev? Armin seems super tactful in everything I’ve seen

(I mean from the perspective of a user. I recognize that the technical problem that GH would need to solve to do this well on web is exceedingly difficult)

Yes, but counterpoint, lots of GUIs we use in practice are also shit. I’m seriously considering switching to a TUI for managing comments on pull requests because GitHub’s UX isn’t even able to show large diffs

The warning seems right to me. Only reason to mutate a Mutex seems to call Mutex::get_mut to bypass any actual locking — which doesn’t sound like your intention?

Congrats! 🎉 I’m a big fan. May Pi continue to find its place in the world while keeping a high signal to noise ratio.

It’s not even falsifiable so not sure it even deserves that word

Maybe it would help to post sometimes only for mutuals, or something? I’m not sure that even exists on BlueSky. Or maybe you need a private account that’s less parasocial Lots of people here don’t use the algorithm but you just have so many people following you

The thread feels like an ad hominem against AI safety. If it turns out the originator is weird as f, that doesn’t necessarily invalidate what others do or its validity as research field? From “Robert Miles AI Safety” on YT it seems a very legit&serious field. I enjoyed his in depth explainers a lot

I mean, this is clearly what’s actually happening at OpenAI (e.g. RubyGems) despite a good faith attempt at not giving it access

Bram Geron @bram.xyz · 14/09/2026

Do you not think that alignment (as stereotyped in the paperclip maximizer) is a real concern? Robert Miles has a lot of good material on accidental misalignment and I think it’s exactly what we’re seeing at OpenAI right now

I’ve been very grateful for the jj support you’re building in!

In practical terms, with Rust I like that separation logic / tree borrows lets you state and prove reasonable things about data structures with hiding/visibility Even if separation logic / tree borrows stop short of defining everything we do in practice e.g. interaction with the OS — & that’s fine

The point (imo) is to abstract away from the details so that the underlying essence can reveal itself Real languages are way too messy to say anything interesting about

Bram Geron @bram.xyz · 09/09/2026

Not in the subtyping sense but sounds extremely nitpicky to me to argue that ! isn’t a bottom type I think it’s a perfectly reasonable thing to say even if Rust doesn’t have proper subtyping

MVCC + automatically updating indexes babyyy

You can avoid that variable problem (at least on Postgres) but it’s far from smooth I think they’re unfortunately really good at improving what matters long term in the grand scheme of things — unfortunately I can always work around shit ergonomics

That sounds undesirable. If you sell me your domain, I’d like your cert to eventually stop working These days cert renewal can be just done by a daemon behind the main reverse proxy, but if you turn off the server or remove its proxy config, you need to have alerts that you’ll actually read in time

(does that make milk ambicountable?)

Bram Geron @bram.xyz · 29/08/2026

Can’t tell if a genuine question, but it means it can be used either way. E.g. “two milk one sugar” uses a countable sense of ‘milk’, but “milk is delicious” uses an uncountable sense of the word

Yes please! Do you have a shared efficient serialization format as well?
