If it trained on the leaked sources, you’re correct. More likely is that there are already many open source tools that mimic adobe’s tools already. So the request could be for photoshop feature X, but you get laundered GIMP for X instead.

All I hear when someone mentions RobCo:

I agree, cars are gross. It is mega unfortunate that car infrastructure is so dominant when there is a better way.

All of these stupid ups and downs of the fucking limits and there is still no clarity just what the limit actually is. What a bunch of bullshit. STFU Anthropic

Breathlessly quotes Bill Gates as if he is an expert on AI and exactly how AI in the future will play out. Nah, I don’t think we should be listening to Epstein Island alum old rich white scumbag

Shit, I’ve known humans that have done this

locals greatly exaggerated the harmfulness of the earthquakes.

Fuck this dude. If I am local, I don’t give a shit how “harmful” it is. That isn’t the standard we’re operating at in society. I don’t want the ground shaking at all. Ever. Period. And your gas/oil company does not come before the collective will of the people living there.

Meta will impose daily usage limits and restrict nighttime usage by children ​who use Facebook and Instagram, and enhance measures to prevent children from accessing age-restricted content.

The Menlo Park, California-based company denied ​wrongdoing in agreeing to settle.

So $16.6B, some stupidly light restrictions on usage times and they get to continue pimping addictive bullshit to minors? How the fuck did the states agree to this stupid shit?

That is some nice problem solving!

EDIT: Just to add: A lot of the breakthroughs and solutions being discovered were always there. It is just that Clankers are becoming essential for lit reviews to surface useful bits we’ve already discovered in different domains. But the clankers are not inventing new maths or doing abductive reasoning to solve these math problems. They are simply incapable of that abductive reasoning leap for now.

you got a whatsapp or somethin’? Your service could be very handy in a pinch.

junior devs/fresh grads couldn’t tell you how any of the stuff they “build” works anyways but what I’ve found shocking is senior level devs that have either simply forgotten how the code works or just don’t care anymore. They fully embraced and drank the Agentic Kool-Aid that they’ve allowed their skill set to dwindle. And I’d say the vast majority of those devs just don’t care anymore.

Reject their MRs. Point out the shit code. Find the shit they missed and didn’t read. Force them to make it digestible and understandable. I am sure my team isn’t happy when I review their MRs because I always catch the shit they missed. Use the clankers, fine, but you better god damn know every single line. What? Can’t do that? That’s too hard? No one reads every line? Bruh, I do. Every. Single. Fucking. Line. Don’t use the clanker if you can’t do that. No clanker privileges for you. Clankers are fucking magic, but they aren’t a replacement for understanding.

I’ve had a long career of quickly grokking large systems. Reading endless amounts of code. Reading my dependencies’ code. Reading my dependencies’ dependencies’ code. The job, software engineering, the vast majority of the time is maintenance, growth on top of an existing thing. You must read code. You must understand how everything works under the hood so that you can properly model shit. That is the fucking job. Clankers write a lot of code. git gud at reading it because it will absolutely slip in some sloppy shit you do not want going to prod.

Yeah, the bar is on the floor now and you can just do things like this now without necessarily being a wizard. A little tenacity, and a lot of taste goes a long way. They might be a little rough around the edges, but so many little impactful tools I’ve built this way have come in handy. And I am a wizard.

meh, I just setup a wireguard tunnel first which is listening on some high udp port. I stopped exposing ssh to the greater internet awhile ago.

To all the fellas out there with ladies to impress
It’s easy to do just follow these steps:

One, cut a hole in a box

https://github.com/JiaoXianjun/BTLE
https://github.com/migraine-sudo/BTLE-R

Because I would love to see something like this exist, I went and found some prior art for doing arbitrary BTLE for you. Clankers seem to think SDR is necessary for the response-to-AWK bit because this is usually handled at the firmware/hardware level.

Leave it to the fucking pigs to come up with a somewhat reasonable, plausibly deniable way to avoid the law.

Pure vibe coding will quickly end up with a complete mess. But in the hands of a good engineer that understands how to manage it and can give it explicit technical direction in how to write the code, it usually writes high quality code and is a huge productivity multiplier. Like any complex tool, knowing how to use the tool is a skill in itself. Almost everyone I know in the industry is using it and people who aren’t will get left behind (I know that’s a cliche but it’s true).

All of this is true. What it omits though is that there are so few of us of sufficient skill to wield them without abdicating thinking to the clankers. Instead, what I see is the mid programmers shit out mid code at an astronomical rate, leaving more foibles and poor quality in the MRs that make it to me. I end up needing to claude-by-proxy more frequently than I like. If you never had curiosity paranoia before clankers existed, you’re sure as hell not going to have it now when you can most of the time implicitly trust what they output (eg. Sure, let’s do something extra that can throw and log that warning inside a high throughput ingestion pipeline for a very common case, WCGW?). The problem is that “most of the time” is not sufficient for systems that are responsible for vast sums of money and regulatory compliance.

lol, this was not what I was expecting. I was thinking some clever use of transactions, litefs kinda thing. Not a copy loop on a timer in PHP lol.
