LLM: this code is special it's impossible to test. I need to exclude it from the coverage reports. Me: No, it's not. LLM: You're right, I agree. I'll write those tests now.

If you run a platform that creates 100,000 nude deep fakes, the platform should be driven into the ground by fines, and the people running it should go to jail. And if you can't make the platform not do those things, you are morally obligated to shut it down until you can control it.

Josh Vlk @vlkpack.com · 29/07/2026

This is how fines should work for trillion dollar companies. "Lawyers for xAI argued that the law violates First Amendment protections and said the penalties are too steep, potentially costing a business whose users created 100,000 prohibited images “an eye-popping $50 billion dollars.”"

You're damn right www.wheresyoured.at/the-openai-b...

$Anyway, for Oracle to make all the rest of that money, it will have to build five more Stargate Abilenes. If you’re wondering how that’s going, Stargate Shackelford only broke ground in December 2025, Stargate Wisconsin appeared to have a single steam beam in March, Stargate Michigan only got its first steel beams two months ago, and Stargate New Mexico is still waiting for permitting to begin construction. Based on Lancium’s presentation and discussions with sources familiar, Oracle will pull in somewhere in the region of $10 billion in annual revenue from the (assuming it’s ever done), completely-finished 824MW of critical IT infrastructure at Stargate Abilene. It is unclear how Oracle hopes to be paid even a fraction of its $300 billion compute deal, because in its current state, its annual revenue from Stargate projects currently sits in the region of a maximum $5 billion a year, or less than a tenth of its FY2026 capex. For the most part, Oracle has funded the various Stargate data centers with project financing, meaning that a nebulous SPV will be responsible in the event it defaults on any of these contracts…until Stargate Michigan, which only closed when Oracle agreed to guarantee the $14 billion in bonds raised. All of this revenue — both theoretical and otherwise — sits in Oracle’s “Cloud” segment, the only part of the business that’s actually growing, as the rest of its business has either been declining or plateauing for about a decade. In any case, for Oracle to actually get paid its $300 billion, it will have to build upwards of 6GW of data center capacity…in a year and a half? This deal is meant to be worth in the higher range of tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue by FY2028, which begins on June 1 2027! Stargate is horribly, impossibly delayed, to a level that makes me wonder if anybody other than perhaps Anissa Gardizy has bothered to think about Stargate for even a fucking second. Anyway, Oracle’s entire future rides on this deal.…$

@zed.dev continues to get better every day! I love the worktree picket and the ability to quickly create a new agent thread in an existing worktree, or to create a new worktree. I'm experimenting with planning in one thread and worktree and then passing off implementation while I continue to plan.

Whenever I read books from an author that was writing for 30+ years and you can see how they hone their craft it makes me sad for the authors that died young, such as Robert E. Howered. Imagine reading a Conan or Soloman Kane style series from that guy after he'd been writing for 40 years.

This is magnificent! I've been reading the Foundation books and it's such a strong series. I'm on Foundation's Edge now, and it's cool to see the changes in Asimov's style 40 years after the the first book. He was always a great writer, but his prose aged like fine wine.

It's worth it. I do the family plan. It's amazing how easy it is to find stuff and not have AI be the main feature. Image search is awesome. You can also mark sites as higher or lower priority, which is great. You can also block sites or add redirects. I have npm redirect to @npmx.dev
