iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

(Also I'm guessing here, there's a million shitty things they can do, and fuck em. But given the information shared there's nothing that indicates this is particularly nefarious, to me. At least not more than hiring processes are already etc)

Like okay, you do you ofc? But like, this is not even forced, I'd understand it then, but this is just an optional thing. It's pretty much just Speech-to-text similar to answering machines, but on crack. Have I gotten frustrated with the goddamn answering machine, yes. Is it a bad thing if optional?

Have you considered using the "skip" button if you do not want to do this? Pretty sure this is supposed to be a "quick"/"easier" way of filling in a form.

OpenCode may be cool and all but it's barely on par with Copilot, and that's a shitty agent...

I think the Motorola devices hit a good spot in price & compat. They are reasonably cheap, but run a good Android that everything works. (Does mean they aren't great for testing, follow Haileys advice for that :))

You also get a ton of free tokens if you sign up for their platform. Like $100

How should future scientists learn to interrogate AI tools for discovery? Read how UW students put AutoDiscovery to the test as part of an academic challenge earlier this year, then try the tool for yourself—credits are now extended through Dec. 31. 🧵 buff.ly/fXoQxxY

PSA: universal basic income / guaranteed minimum income is a form of systemic relief, not systemic change. The former makes room for the latter, but there’s no theory of change in UBI, it’s just a patch fix to avert violent collapse. The steady erosion of agency continues until we OWN STUFF again.

Yeah, while I was typing that I was kind of expecting that one to not go down well - but yes of course there can be use cases where it works well, but it should definitely not be the standard way to do abstractions (like OOP)

I'm convinced FP is objectively the correct way to program. - Fuck loops, get yourself a recursive function (+ tail recursion) - Pattern matching > dynamic dispatch - Monads

Yo @foxgirl.engineering thanks for gleam2nix it's very cool and helps me learn gleam! Appreciate it 🫶

I am much much more concerned with the other side of this coin: The machines required for modern (competitive) textile manufacturing are not available to the common folk. We must seize the means of production & not give up those we already have.

What's the alternative? Make some kind of institution that everyone trusts? Yes giving everyone a nuke is probably a bad idea, but at least it makes it obvious everyone needs anti-nuke defenses. I don't see a future where this new or repurposed institution can be reliably trusted.

It used that one with me a few times too...

But I don't yet have the system to get the agents to actually do the work. I don't want to lock agents into a tight cage and get relatively bad results, but letting them run requires a high level of oversight?

Kai Jellinghaus @kaij.party · 12/09/2026

Thinking a lot about coming up with a system to get more work done with agents. Feels like I should spend my time roughly like - 70% high level concept - 20% scanning/reviewing specs/plans of agents - 10% trying whether it works / code review

No offense to @kira.ws but how can she have an opinion on this? Not like she could've used or really extrapolate personal experience to keyboard/trackpad use/touch/feeling? The feeling/sensation of touch seems quite fundamentally human? (Sorry @kira.ws I don't mean to be ablist or something ^^)

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

Semver breakdown for Kubernetes broken down humorously

1 (major): useless, it will never change
25 (minor): it’s a minor version but everything breaks if you upgrade
6 (patch): random single digit, no one cares

Detroit: Become Human? I know, not a movie, but as an experience it counts in my mind.

I get the sentiment but I think the more practical outcome is that all solution architects act partially as FDEs, as they can now do many more customers in a short time & spend some time on helping improve the main product. Also as knowledge about the actual core code becomes less relevant.

000

Kind of sounds like solution architect at that point? The idea behind FDEs is that they make minor-ish adjustments to the software, know details etc, then integrate the new experience into the main product. (At least that's my understanding?)

Why is it that all ideas the general left-ish space makes popular are dipshit takes like "datacenters are bad"?

Just got called out on something and I think I should own up to it. We should've used erlang

I need a proper graph to see how this impacts results. Is this actually linear? For a hard task is there a breakpoint where it just starts to be able to do it? Or is it just % likelihood of success? Or just how many tokens are required for any given task? Some combination?

000

I find it extremely hard to believe legislation or some kind of global AI pause (thinking of the Paris Agreement) will do fuck all. Doing something about the climate crisis is & has been much much easier and that hasn't happened. We need systemic change or will likely be wiped out (by whatever).
