Remember when self driving cars started hitting the mainstream and there was debate about who would be held accountable in a crash: the driver or the AI provider? Never considered the secret third option of nobody lol teehee

Housing security is central to most social problems IMO. My partner and I had to live with my parents into our late twenties just to afford a modest house on dual incomes anywhere near our friends/work/family.

Gross! Gross! Gross! Immediate and visceral disgust! Disgust and rage! Disgust at obscenity! Disgust at desecration! Bad! That about sums up my feelings.

Still the biggest reason I wont use AI tooling. Companies should be held to *higher* standards than individuals. If you train a model on pirated data for yourself, you do you. If OpenAI does it, they should be disintegrated. Same reason why a movie theater can't just play whatever it wants.

There's something extremely on the nose about this butcher using an AI generated banner on an old office building in the middle of the CBD, kilometers away from any grocery store.

It's kinda interesting that only the abimated visual media get this realism focus. Nobody is demanding that music have even higher fidelity, books to have more visceral descriptions, paintings to be more lifelike. It's really just games and videos that need to be "real".

There's an alternate reality where TypeScript never happened, and instead everyone writes JavaScript with the C preprocessor instead.

Here's a thought, just give them patronage for 5 years to make whatever they want and just see what happens. If nothing comes of it then it's a tax write-off like the ACME vs Coyote film was going to be, otherwise it's a hit.

Ok so here's a thought. These problems got solved because of Lean being able to actually verify the solution. Final proof was 13M LoC IIRC. Genuinely wonder how much more efficient the LLM was at finding those 13M lines compared to, say, random token selection.

By allowing training on unlicensed data, we've explicitly allowed and encouraged this. AI isn't coming for your job, companies are coming for your data, and they have a divine right to it because the models are just worth it at any cost, apparently.

Today I learned that it's apparently silly to want to have a computer powerful enough to compute the problems I'd like to compute. With this knowledge I assume we'll all agree to hand over our developer machines to the nearest RAM collection station and revive Stadia.

You can't just say small models are more environmentally friendly to run in a datacenter, and then dismiss the possibility of *not* running them in a datacenter. I know and agree you can't run frontier on a user's phone. I'm talking about this exact claim you make below. bsky.app/profile/aly....

bushr.at @bushr.at · 04/09/2026

Measuring environmental impacts is fractally complex, but I'd say this actually isn't true. While a datacenter *can* use more power efficient parts and use caching to avoid repeated computation, the environmental impact of increased power consumption is of little significance compared to land usage.

You see, when people tell me that the buys in Bethesda games are actually part of the charm, I just don't believe them. Because Dwarf Fortress has thousands of bugs, each of which infinitely funnier and more interesting than anything in Skyrim, and they'll still get fixed by the devs.

It's been really strange seeing the reactions to `splat`. Most people seem to be excited (yay!), but a quite vocal minority are simultaneously saying it makes Rust too complex and that they'd rather macros for simplicity, but also it's just sugar that isn't worth it since you can just add ((...))

Hm. I almost want an editor that obfuscates the files themselves entirely just to see what this would feel like. Store everything in the most diff-compatible formatting but use rustfmt to give a consistent (pretty) interface for the user. E.g, exploded use-statements

When it rains, it pours! Got most of the WebGPU compatible examples from the Wgpu repo working now, same link for the demos. This water example in particular makes me very happy. Now I guess I need to find out how hard it'd be to make a custom Wgpu backend for something like the PS1...

Screenshot of a webpage. The top quarter is a banner with several links to examples named "boids", "cube", "mipmaps", "msaa_line", "multiple_render_targets", "shadow", "srgb_blend", "stencil_triangles", and "water". The lower 3 quarters of the screen is a low-poly mountain range with water flowing in gullies.

It's ugly and probably busted, but I have PRs open which add no_std support to Wgpu and Winit, which lets the following demo work on wasm32v1-none. bushrat011899.github.io/wasm32v1-non... The code shamelessly adapted from Wgpu and Winit's examples can be found at github.com/bushrat01189...
