Begging anyone in tech to learn a modicum about statistical learning. Begging anyone in tech learn anything about fucking anything, in fact.

The blog from anthropic is so much more disappointing than anything you could have possibly imagine. Like it's kinda a complete nothing burger that was really: "can we setup a distributed pipeline?" Yes. And now we fear monger.

Tbf idk why people don't "get" pointers. But I'm also insane so it is what it is.

Sucks that the lingua franca for applications is now JS. Like I can't imagine having to explain prototypical inheritance to someone, but at least it's not pointers.

"the users who are doing the automation lack the technical skills to automate them" what an indictment of the entire computing ecosystem. people whose jobs involve doing something tedious and repetitive, on a computer, seemingly unaware that they could teach the computer how to do it for them

Software systems are not built with interoperability or automation in mind. Often times they are explicitly designed to prevent integration. Systems should not require arcane expertise to automate! Tools should work with other tools! We've done it before!! We can do it again!!

I always thought siloing knowledge into a single person was bad but apparently siloing it in a black box is okay?

Both statiscal and symbolic models have always done some weird shit. Statiscal models just do weird shit with innumerable neigh opaque heuristics. This is 100% a technology I'd trust in any level of decision making :)

Software engineers encompass glorified html shuffler and software that kills you if there is an error. Neither are checking it the software actually works.

I feel like the latter would but I can understand that magically checking out a submodule branch might cause issues resulting in more confusing behavior (git pull failing if there's unmerged/conflicting commits in a submodule)

Am I late in my shot or depressed? Who knows.

Cat Brick @pbrpriestess.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
Wouldnt just defaulting `--recursive` on git pull be like a decent fix? Ofc then there's branch stuff. Be nice to to submodule branches to main repo branches too.

"Programmers are just going to need to operate at higher level of abstraction" These fuckers are afraid of non-C syntax and start sweating when someone mentions HKT. Shut the fuck up. Programmers hate abstraction.

Sadly, no.
Obsidian's enter Vim mode modal saying "ZQ" is the incorrect command to quite without saving (it is a way to quit without saving).
