AI changed for me the way how deep can I customize #Emacs. Lisp was a wall previously. But today all I need is to just tell LLM what I want. For example, GLM-5.3-flash just made for me a dashboard with manga reading progress as an org-file synced with "kitsu.app" API 🤩

It‘s depressing to learn about a high-concept language (www.choral-lang.org), read into the docs, and go "aaaah this is great, the documentation site is not written by Claude". Been burnt so hard by claudism in docs over the past months.

I wrote about Mark Zuckerberg's facile, self-serving AI manifesto and what he misunderstands about the technology www.platformer.news/zuckerberg-a...
Zuckerberg pays glancing attention to risks, suggesting that we adjust mitigation strategies if AI enables new biological attacks, and proposes monitoring if labs achieve recursive self-improvement and loss-of-control risks grow exponentially.

But nowhere does he explain how his framework would handle a harm we can’t iterate our way out of: an engineered pandemic, say, or a catastrophic cyberattack. He casts falling behind China as the risk that dwarfs all others, and suggests that any precaution that slows down US releases by even a month itself is a safety hazard. It’s a world where shipping open-weights models fast and to everyone is the only safe strategy — which, conveniently, means that the safest possible world is one where Meta can execute its roadmap unimpeded.

To learn new things, maintain an emotional connection with code, and keep an ownership, I write code by hand. For personal projects ~70-80% by hand, for work projects ~15-20%. To not loose the "AI productivity boost," I made a SKILL that generates an "onboarding ticket" instead of code.

this is a great argument that maybe we have the risks backwards
I believe we should not consider
AI safe. A critical event that may result in the extinction of Homo sapiens is possible, but the danger is not in open models, or China making faster progress than the US. The danger is that a few CEOs (everywhere in the world) without the required background and
legitimacy are in the position of making hard choices for humanity at large. They were not selected to do so; it was just the randomness of events that created this setup. They can't speak for everybody, given the stakes, just because they have GPUs and money. This is the first thing that should be fixed.

I'm experimenting with out-of-core graph algorithms, such as finding all the connected components of a 2B-edge graph with a memory limit of 7 GB, etc. I'm starting to worry that it may just kill my disk — can it do that? Would it be better to use an AWS instance?

Don’t let influencers fool you, coding with AI (Claude Code / Codex / Gemini) still takes a lot of work. You may be more productive, but expect long hours and many late nights. It’s like creating a 15-minute short using AI. It may look easy, but it often takes weeks of trials to produce that video.
