There was a brief period where they kept advertising Google stuff like Gmail on tv and the only purpose of the ads was to make you cry

I always avoided doing sales and advertising because I have no idea what I’m doing but these days I feel like I should get into sales and advertising

Something not sitting right about that first chart - surely we’d expect to see a rise, still, in bugs fixed over last couple of years with LLM improvements. Some element of human bottleneck there too?

Also when you don’t. Also it’s an actual beehive. Also, you’re aware of this but keep jabbing your hands in anyway.

And some people say that using LLMs too often makes you not think good dum dum. Pfft! Nonsense. Maybe I just like the validation.

Me (talking to Claude Code): Hey Claude. Claude. Hey, Claude. While you were busy, I solved a problem myself. With my human brains and hands. Claude. I solved a problem. I thunk about it. Thought about it. Claude. Claude. Isn't that impressive, Claude?

Claude (perhaps sarcastically) That's incredible. I'm so proud of you. What was it?

The only hiccup I had installing Mint on mine is that apparently my laptop’s WiFi and Bluetooth adapters are cheap rubbish that lack proper Linux drivers! But aside from that, very smooth

Rewatched Catch Me If You Can tonight. A classic, not seen it in many years. There’s something so warm and fuzzy about a good Spielberg movie too, they don’t make em like that any more.

I'm always very wary of being the person in this SMBC cartoon but yes, yes absolutely it's *exceptionally* easy to be lulled into believing Microsoft would actually do this now.

010

Robin @solarise.dev · 04/03/2026

*That said* things have changed, but relatively speaking, no they haven't Same workloads, same stresses, same unmanageable project scopes, it's now just scaled up, multiplied. We're in no better position than we were three years ago. Arguably worse.

Robin @solarise.dev · 04/03/2026

Though AI is far, far from the explosive world-changing event we were told it was turning out to be. I remember 3 years ago sitting on a bench in my garden thinking AI was going to be ushering in a pretty rapid global change. Now, it's just same old tbh. I don't see the big changes promised.

Apparently, the original post was fake. But strangely, that doesn't nudge the percentage up even a little. How odd

Robin @solarise.dev · 04/03/2026

Requiring an NPU and being subscription-based does sound like nonsense of the highest order (though had me fooled for a minute) But I can absolutely guarantee they will be embedding AI and wrapping the whole OS around Copilot as tightly as possible.

Yeah absolutely 0% chance I'll be a Windows 12 user. Already making the full switch to Linux

Robin @solarise.dev · 04/03/2026

That... surely has to be a joke. It'll be a vibe coded nightmare. They had enough trouble getting everyone to toggle an option in the BIOS to upgrade to 11, absolutely no way people are buying new CPUs for this (in this climate?) Absolute bollockry of the highest order

Great outcries in the Diablo community as it turns out your Paragon lvl 250 Necromancer is still a complete failure in the kitchen Season tiers impossible as they require besting Duriel, the Lord of Pain in a sourdough bakeoff (he’s very good)

000

Robin @solarise.dev · 04/03/2026

Truth is the season will be called the “Season of Pain” (surprise, it’s still bread)

Follow me for more misleading and frankly meaningless updates about games you aren't playing

Looking forward to Diablo IV Season 12, apparently according to rumours to be titled "Season of Sandwiches" and in it you're tasked with running a small sandwich business in a sleepy European village, competing with local delis and boulangeries and, no, wait that's an entirely different game

I like to think that he actually built an entire set to practice that as well as hiring multiple actresses to play Susan as well as Susan herself to play him while he played the part of Conan

Nonsense. Trump has only wheeled out four or five conflicting reasons for the whole thing. Normally it’s in the double digits. Clearly it’s going swimmingly

If you've never watched his stuff before I'd highly recommend it. I watched The Rehearsal for the first time recently and I'm now convinced Nathan's entire life is a bit in one way or another.

Thanks phone, now it looks like I've replied to the client using MS Office 2005. You should have added some emojis too.

Replying to an email using my phone, and for some unfathomable reason it looks fine, but after sending decides to use the Biggest Font Possible

“If we didn’t pay them ten gazillion dollars they’d go somewhere else” has to be one of the most self-congratulatory lies there is in business these days

Dubai feels like a bad example for them to be using though. As a dusty cultural vacuum it seems prime candidate to be deeply affected by regional conflict

I've been using Linux Mint on my laptop for work for about 3 weeks now, and aside from the odd bit of gameplay, haven't missed my Windows PC at all. Nice! That said, very eager now to install Mint on my desktop and use that instead because my laptop is as slow as cheese

(And generally speaking, in my experience many Americans are indeed very polite and great people!)

100

Robin @solarise.dev · 02/03/2026

I do apologise for being so blunt about it 😂 I was surprised when I saw the stats tbh, UK sometimes seen as having strict driving lessons but imo it pays off I just think it’s important when eg Tesla says “driving better than humans”, humans can actually drive *really* safely when taught well

200

Robin @solarise.dev · 02/03/2026

This sort of stat is wild when you realise Americans are already bad enough drivers! (Arguably 2-4x worse at least than eg UK drivers) Tesla has a long, long hill to climb (will probably crash off the side way before the top)

So annoying there's now years of second hand cars using that crap though. Will take a while for it all to filter down through new sales.

We're eventually going to develop AI that thinks in "unbounded n-dimension hyperspheres" aren't we? Or something like that. It's all going to become so incomprehensibly ridiculous. I hope. Maybe, then, humans will stop talking about it.
