I’m trying to think of a rule against using AI or even the rule of at least documenting where you use AI. There was one project where I tried to be diligent about including GitHub copilot as a co-author but then I slipped and forgot and there’s no point in bothering.

I think I’m just going to strongly encourage disclosing AI usage but there can be no requirements.

Never enough watts

Wouldn’t it be the Colonials?

Half-Life 3 confirmed

Just saying it so it’s out there

Red wine seems to be important to longevity

Rust is the foot gun, it’s so perfect that you genuinely cannot just sit down and type out what you need.

Recently I’ve just been getting co-pilot to do it

I have an alias that calls the copilot CLI with a prompt that says “set up typescript”

Fuck this

I add a lint rule to prevent using the any type. Solves the problem

You have to report back which individual switch it is such that another person is able to control the light bulb reliably because they know which switch

Best response! I pray I will remember it if I ever get in this situation.

I collect multi-tools, there’s always a knife on me bc they all have knifes. I mostly have them for scissors and can openers and they’re awesome!

Futures and unrealized capital gains are more addictive than nicotine

This has got to be some sort of psyop

That almost feels analogous to the world burning… like this is going to sound a little macabre but are you really expecting 2026 to be better? If so can you articulate why??

When I read about this I’m always brought back to the conversation of “internet as a public utility”. I hope it’s cool if we can take a tangent.

See unlike any of our other utilities like natural gas electricity water and sewage, the only thing that could potentially give any meaningful information about us is our sewage, and the government already tests sewage for diseases. If we allow the government to “sell” us our internet they would basically be able to know everyone we are “talking too”. Also how could we ever have enough regulatory oversight to protect everyone on the internet. Symmetrically if the government wants to have so much regulatory control over our internet it should maybe pay for it.

Like I wouldn’t mind even paying another 50 bucks a month extra for “private internet” just so the government can have their free and regulated “public internet”. Or would I (⁠・⁠–⁠・)⁠ゞ?

We already have activitypub, and projects like Gitea are actively implementing it (at this time I don’t think it’s live enough yet)

I feel like we should be treating git as more of a federated system. What rule is there against pushing to multiple remotes?

There seem to be many of these multicellular animals who don’t feel like a singular individual animal. I was commenting on a post a few months ago about the most genetically simple multicellular animal, this thing has less base pairs than most bacteria, and it can also do this trick where disassociated cells recombine into new individuals. This creature also reproduce sexually if and only if the concentration of fellow individuals is high enough, cells will just leave the body and join a new one like for fun. It really calls into question what an individual is.

The same advantages as all free and open source solution, it’s free and open source. That means how much it’s going to cost to your business is directly under your control. You can make a decision on how you acquire hardware based on your business’s needs. If you want to add or change features you can decide how to do that based on the deals you have with your programmers (like pick the developer you have with the best skills and the lowest cost), and then you get to control how much it costs you and how reliable the result is going to be.

If you feel like the support you get from customer service from Amazon or Google or Microsoft is reliable enough and you don’t need more reliability then go ahead and stick with paid products. But if you already have a team of really expensive and talented engineers you might as well let them solve problems with free and open source equipment.
