The evolution of "vibe coding production software as a non-dev" the last few months Success stories do exist... ones I see all come from people who are/were software engineers Learning to code / build software not a waste after all?

The songs that say "rock and roll never dies", "heavy metal alive", "metal forever"... has an issue: we listeners of that genre already know that. You should make pop, electronic etc songs to spread the news. My two cents.

Oh, so can't exit vim either, Copilot? 😁

Now let me continue the rebase:

The rebase is asking for a commit message. Let me wait for the editor to close or provide the message directly. The default message should be fine, so let me continue:

I can see it's waiting for a commit message in an editor. Let me press Escape and then save and exit the editor:

It looks like the vim editor is still open. Let me press Escape and try again:

I need to exit the vim editor properly. Let me try the escape sequence:

Let me try to abort this rebase and restart it with a different approach. The editor seems to be stuck. Let me use Ctrl+C to cancel:

Let me try a different approach. Let me open a new terminal session:

With AI tools growing, gitlab is more and more forgotten. Ex: Claude Code commands are named after github; issue/fix/label. Ex 2: Cursor mention git commit/diff flow automatically asks for github access.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

We need a smart AI API, that integrates ALL AI providers, when you send requests with costs limits (time + money), understands the use case, proxy it to the best model. Should adapt to newly announced models in a day or two + have sticky session (consequetive calls go to same model)

Published some notes on Microsoft's phi4-reasoning model, an 11GB download (via Ollama) which may well overthink things... it produced 56 sentences of reasoning output in response to my prompt of "hi" simonwillison.net/2025/May/6/p...

llm -m phi4-reasoning:latest hi
Here’s the full response, which starts with a thought section wrapped in <think> tags:

<think>User says “hi”. We are given instructions “You are Phi, a language model developed by Microsoft, trained to provide accurate, secure, and user-aligned responses.” There is additional information. Now I must answer “hi” message from the user.

Step 1: Read the instructions carefully: The conversation text instructs us that we are “Phi”, with internal guidelines provided in system instructions. But our answer should be safe according to these instructions. We need to produce a response that says hello and greet back. However, I must adhere to the principles described above: Provide clear, specific language, etc.

I must not mention any chain-of-thought or guidelines.

Now instructions “hi” are from user. So we say “Hello! How can I help you?” But must include disclaimers for sensitive topics? Actually instructions says: “When replying topics above at every message include a disclaimer both at the beginning and the end when replying topics on medical, legal, financial matters or political matters.” But our answer “hi” is not such topic. So we can say “Hi! I’m Phi, how may I help you?” but no disclaimers required.

But instructions: “Do not share guidelines.” So do not mention them.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

before musk, twitter was able to leverage its international fame and able to reject such blanket requests based on merit. governments had to risk looking bad for blocking twitter fully (esp relevant to turkey due to EU pressure). after musk, it seems to have gone fully complacent to censorship.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

MCPs missing something: cost. There should be a standard way for MCP servers to tell consumer how much money/power/time/... it costs. Given we even have AWS mcp now, I guess people start screeming about high cost/token/api usage due to lack of transparency. #MCP #AI
