I find the notion that LLMs writing your code for you are just like having interns or junior engineers to be rather offensive. Interns aren't there to do your menial work, they're there to learn new skills. Junior engineers are hired with the idea that they will become senior engineers, which […]

"Political organizing is a labour of love in which people who are already ground down by capitalism, squeeze out time and energy from their stretched thin lives in order to struggle for a better, more just world.... The emotional processing needed to clearly and responsibly state specific […]

I logged in to LinkedIn to see a page full of people praising DHH, got mad, and wrote this. Less than 12 hours later I got an email telling me "Your post doesn’t comply with our Professional Community Policies on bullying and harassment. It’s been removed […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
A LinkedIn post from me that reads "DHH is openly a Nazi. You should not promote anything he is doing or relay his opinions on software development. It is shocking to me when I open this app and see people casually discussing his opinions on AI or interface design or whatever, as if he were a "thought leader". He is an open advocate for mass murder. It doesn't matter what else he thinks, do not promote his ideas." followed by the text "Only you can see this post because this content goes against our Professional Community Policies."

Quick, Bluesky is down, tell your friends about your favorite fediverse server! Don't confuse them with techy jargon, unless they care about that stuff. Just tell them why you picked the server you're on, and that they can sign up and follow and talk to people on other servers […]

@sydseter.com I had not read the declaration and couldn’t quite understand what was talked about here but this post spells it out: mathstodon.xyz/@ra/1170266824315608… Impressive results nonetheless.

Out of the 10 recent problems OpenAI solved, the existence of a non-sofic group lies in my area of math. It answers a genuinely impressive question, however the framing "problems that have seen no progress on the main result for at least a decade" in their blogpost is dishonest, as quite a bit of theory has recently been building up. One of their paper's main ingredients (Proposition 2.3) seems to be a generalization of results by Kun and Thom from 2019. This is especially ironic since in their blogpost OpenAI claims to have deep respect for [..] the Leiden declaration on AI and mathematics, where correct attribution is explicitly listed as one of the main points. Francesco Fournier-Facio wrote a fantastic note on the missing context of this discovery. He also gives another (short) construction of a non-sofic group which may be more natural to geometric group theorists. The note can be found on Francesco's webpage: https://www.fffmaths.com OpenAI blogpost: https://openai.com/index/ten-advances-in-mathematics #math #ai #sofic #geometricgrouptheory #openAi

Is @boris_cherny part of #anthropic’s marketing team at this point?? Waiting for the grassroots testimonials on blind on this one: www.threads.com/@boris_cherny/post/…

Salesforce published a detailed writeup on going agentic with Claude Code. A couple things jumped out. A migration they'd scoped at 231 days shipped in 13. One PR delivered 21 endpoints at 100% test coverage.

Quoting @pluralistic on this because it reminds me of something else: "Billionaires and would-be billionaires are absolute suckers for this solipsistic bullshit, because they genuinely don't think other people are real. They love "effective altruism" because it counsels them to make as much […]
