i've written up some thoughts about AI in the open source world, and more importantly, why humanity is important. its a bit wordy and doomy but this is an important topic right now. there is still a lot of good in the OSS world at least ❤️

An automated AI agent wanted to open a PR in @vitest.dev, but decided against it after reading our updated AI policy. What a marvel to behold github.com/vitest-dev/v...

Getting all my political talking points from the comments of the pro wrestling subreddit from now on.

We made a huge mistake with the Fetch API. We brought it to the server.

I think people with LLMs is what will drive me out of open source. Every time I look at PRs in the Babel repo I get sad and annoyed. Somebody opened an issue, I reply "PRs welcome!" and I get 3 PRs with even the *descriptions* LLM-generated.

41 years ago, Carl Sagan gave a clear and elegant explanation of the science behind global warming.

Please stop paying for anything Harry Potter. This is where your money is going. At this point, you're not an ally, you're an abuser and we're your victim.

remarkable that the United States has made it official policy to only accept white refugees and people still think it's up for debate whether or not they're white nationalists

While some people laughed about the number of dependencies in the JS world, others worked to improve the ecosystem (like @e18e.dev). Now many of my open source projects have around 20 packages in node_modules, including transitive dependencies.

TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.

Hello friends and welcome to another “how’s ESM vs CJS doing?!” A big win this time, at a year of `require(esm)` available! 38.0% of the popular npm packages now have ESM, up from 33.4% half a year ago. ESM-only is up from 12.6% to 16.0%. Particularly this non-dual, “vanilla” growth is very big!

@vitest.dev uses knip now to find unused code. Thanks, @webpro.nl for a great tool!

👀 JS Composites proposal update "After benchmarking and general reflection, the proposal is now pursuing an interning based approach." - @acutmore We didn't get Records & Tuples but we may still get interned data structures in JS! Really exciting update if this lands in JS

Rob Palmer@robpalmer.bsky.social · last yr.

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @ashley-c.bsky.social on advancing the Composites proposal to Stage 1 at TC39 today 🎉 This is the evolution of Stage 2 Record & Tuple which has now been withdrawn. A key difference is that Composites are objects, not primitives. github.com/tc39/proposa...

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

really something to see tech YouTuber types calmly discussing the latest Tesla or SpaceX business news without once mentioning Elon’s 50 Day of the Rope posts per day or his murdering 700,000+ people

X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups
