Probably cuz they run grep about 90% of times and that was the path of least resistance

the coupling of a filesystem to agents was so dumb why did we do this if you want to support skills even for a dumb in memory agent loop you need a virtual fs why why why

Databricks has a great write up of best practices for reducing AI token costs. 1. Adopt lower cost models. Most tasks don’t need the best models. 2. Harnesses are a form of lock-in, adopt one which allows model flexibility. 3. Avoid hard per developer budgets. Prefer dashboards and spend gates

Ty for putting into words what I've felt for a long time. AI tools generate fatigue as using them requires you to have more discipline.

“People do not want to wake up every day and log in to Slack and find the buttons and menus all subtly moved around. People do not want financial transactions that complete most of the time.” - Charity Majors — Shipping slop is so easy that we need more engineering discipline than ever to prevent it

Just like Logan Roy uh?

President Trump has explained that he was sadly unable to attend his son’s wedding in the Bahamas because the date clashed with his latest staged assassination attempt. www.normalisland.co.uk/p/president-...

What a clown show. I admired Jarred but this #bunjs Rust port is simply STUPID. It's done to appraise their new overlords (Zig is a niche lang, doesn't suit well Dario's vision of banning human devs). Lesson learned, never trust VC-funded dev tools. Yes, also #uv. They will sell their soul fast.

taken.

A web page that tells you what your browser gave away the moment you arrived. No login, no form, no permission. Most pages do this. None of them tell you.

I am a highly educated and technically proficient person, but passkeys are the first new ubiquitous web technology that regularly make me think I am just a stupid big baby man

Americans, are you still there folks? Have your brains rotted? Ain't nobody say nothing or move a finger about you criminal-in-chief?

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

i've said forever that it takes years to evaluate any new tech have to get past your initial excitement bias, see what unforeseen issues pop up, understand how it scales with complexity this 100% applies to coding with AI also

Some (not so good) updates: - Degoogling has stalled. Unfortunately every Android patch adds more invasion like Gemini etc. I deactivated useless (to me) G apps and that's it. - keeping my FB alive. I don't use it but I don't want to lose a decade (2009-2019) of photos/history. - Lemmy sucks

Current mood tech-wise: 1. degoogle my phone as much as I can 🚧 2. finish migrating from on OneDrive to TabDigital's #NextCloud 🚧 3. kill #Xitter account ✅ 4. kill FB account ☔ 5. use #Lemmy, step down using Reddit 🚧 6. stop using HackerNews, use #Lobste.rs ✅

Feature request: a "rewrite with AI" button that adds proper commas and punctuations to @thdxr.com posts

i see so many people thought leadering like "harnesses are the new oil" or some shit and then i see them responding to an AI reply bot

We did it: DE 🇩🇪 LU🇱🇺 & SK🇸🇰 just decided to oppose Chat Control! 🥳 Thanks everyone for your help and keep fighting the good fight. 🫶 Chat Control will not get a majority - at least not today. More on why it is the most criticized law of all times: tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

When you use coding agents for something that produces the bulk of the code of an application that will be used for years, also factor in the technical debt that you are happily accumulating. When you use LLMs an an aid, you could, on the contrary, improve your coding culture.

Walking cross Milan streets and unwillingly listening to that tra-ta-tah mindfart that is "trap". Sometimes I watch this video to remind what pop music once was. So powerful. Matia Bazar. Antonella Ruggiero. What a song! What a singer! What a voice control! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayxt...

On other news, an hate episode in an highway rest station near Milano towards two french jews in transit. I feel so sick watching this video 🫣 www.milanotoday.it/politica/agg...

Ebrei insultati e malmenati in autogrill a Milano: "Siete assassini, qui non siamo a Gaza, andate a casa vostra"

Un uomo ebreo, che era in compagnia del figlio all'autogrill di Lainate (sull'A8), è stato affrontato da alcune persone, che gli hanno spaccato gli occhiali e lo hanno fatto cadere per terra

BG says it so clearly.... Why the fuck don't we focus to the problem at hand!? #gaza

If there's one thing you watch today, make it this Bob Geldof criticises Israel for what they're doing in Gaza Then criticises Trevor Philips for making excuses for what Israel is doing in Gaza Part 3/3

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

Rspack and rsbuild keep rocking and improving. It's unfortunate that this project doesn't get the visibility it deserves around tech social media. I still remember TFW I got a build reduction from 10 mins to 10 seconds when succeeded in migrating an internal project away from CRA to rsbuild 1.0

Rspack v1.4.0-beta.0 is out: ⚡️ 40% faster HMR (incremental build) ⭐️ Improved ESM output ⭐️ Improved virtual module support 🔍 Improved trace analysis Subsequent beta releases will bring Wasm support and more 🚀

I'm sorry to inform you and your optimism on coding agents that our technology is based on things like the Linux kernel, or a modern browser: completely outside of today's possibilities. When you analyze AI, think at the Linux kernel.

OTD…May 23, 1995 Happy Birthday, #Java! Here’s to 30+ more years with a beautiful combination of technology innovation and community participation!

The more I dig into generative AI from the prospective of a retired person, the less I want to be involved, or make use of the tools. I want to focus on using my own model of the world to contribute to society for as long as possible.

" #TDD vs cowboy coding" episode 531. Worked on a poc for 1 week. Lost the count of the backtracks I did to have a clean solution. Now I have mostly a working impl, minus tests. Writing tests before of even alongside would have helped ZERO. TBH, less than zero! Would just be more work and noise.

Ive seen this proof also on reddit. Gosh

I had been reluctant to amplify the theory that Trump's "reciprocal tariff rate" for a given country was based on the dumb calculation: (bilateral trade deficit) divided by (imports from that country) But now USTR has confirmed it. Brief 🧵

The #mcp scene that has started seems to be the biggest clusterf*uck of info since web3. How Is It possibile that *nobody* Is able tò explain clearly what that stuff Is?
