I've yet to see even one single outlet question the framing here. Not one. Nobody seems to realize that agents don't "hack on their own". People run them, give them permissions, give them goals and constraints. Those people are the ones responsible here.

did you know it’s possible to have an attractive, simple computer that’s not full of ads and garbage and planned obsolescence? more true now than ever, despite what you may have heard in the news.

And for your own mental health and wellbeing; don't go into lengthy internet discussions you know will have no outcome. Instead, block & mute. Those are the tools that'll bring you peace, and sends a clear message to those that don't want the best for you or our community.

You know, honestly, more than monetary donations, if somebody worked at a company that had access to a lot of 18 terabyte and larger hard drives and could talk to us, that's where we are really suffering. The internet archive has no special priority in buying hard drives and those things are insane.

i started an off-grid cabin coop with some friends back in 2010. the application process was on paper, and mailed in. it prevented low-effort entries completely. i look forward to open source projects taking this approach. “your first patch can be printed out and mailed to this p.o. box for review”

watching someone in a supervisory/pm role drop 100s of small-ish bugfix commits into a repo he’s never committed to as long as i’ve followed the project. maintainer is nowhere to be seen. the pm is technical. i actually have no predictions for how this ultimately plays out. but… huh.

yeah, this. there are plenty of reasons people direct their anger at llms which front as concrete concerns (copyright, climate, economy, other) but are, in actuality, existential dread. that dread is not unfounded, but i wish more people would just be up-front about why they’re angry.

THEM: imagining you turning to me in a meeting and saying "and that's the sharp seam of it — we've reached a genuine fork and rather than continuing onwards, i need your say about how to resolve it"

ME: okay so i don't talk like that but i DO feel really upset that "load-bearing" and "smoke tests" are now things that people think only claude says
ME: the thing is that when *i* say "load-bearing", the phrase i am always imagining in my head when i say it is "load-bearing drywall"

THEM: yes but people don't say "let me spike a quick smoke to probe the load-bearing proof"

ME: because it makes me think of groverhaus
ME: i don't think claude is thinking of groverhaus

THEM: <typing indicator>

spent all day ripping apart the rotten ramp behind our new house. found an even more rotten deck joist hidden behind it. whether a real-world construction project or a software project, it's always yaks all the way down. 🐂 maybe i'll get to build stairs next week.

i'm offgrid for 4 days! congratulations #gnome again on (a) the most meaningful election in a long time! there's a great list of candidates and it's hard to choose.
