i'm not sure how to create or do anything in a world that has been so completely consumed by the influence of LW and 4ch. several weeks ago someone use the phrase "moral kolmogorov complexity" and i still haven't recovered from it

i wrote an internet standard https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-meow-mrrp-00.html (it's published on ietf so you know it's real and official and endorsed by the ietf)

the quantitative metrics are catching up to the qualitative the 53 replies are mostly the same "who tf uses mastodon?!" ... funny you should ask. more of us than who use X

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

TIL you can run AVX code in FreeDOS and honestly this should be considered a fantasy machine. i fear my questions are only answerable with intel manuals in hand VEX coding to use 256-bit registers in a 256 byte demo is maniac behavior

“We’re not publishing the algorithms [that would require a machine with hundreds of logical qubits and tens of thousands of gates to run] in the interests of responsible disclosure” 😂 come on.

I've heard there's this amendment all about giving individuals and their state the freedom to bear arms in case there's a rogue federal government infringing on their rights. surely its supporters are now are up in arms and standing up for states rights in this moment, right?

thinking of Bret Victors "The Future of Programming" and other artifacts from when we believed not writing code would be a good thing it's challenging to come up with a more misguided abstraction as english text

watching hackers being radicalized to the right of larry ellison by LLMs is maybe not ideal

You cannot technically explain yourself out of UX issues, please stop trying. So often I see users bring up UX issues, and programmers then tell them how much work it was to create their product. It doesn't matter how much work it was!! What matters is if your target audience uses it or not.

ok. I gave someone else who uses Claude a 1 sentence problem involving Bezier curves in simple language that is obscure enough libraries don't bother with. ~30min I get back a 500 line numerical solution in js matching a recent-ish pure math paper that I can't find an implementation for anywhere.

Jaana was a distinguished engineer at GitHub and is now a principal engineer at Google. I expect more testimonials from accomplished engineers about productivity gains of AI in 2026. Engineers claiming AI tools don’t work well will increasingly look like a skill issue than a problem with AI tools

the creator of Mark V. Shaney shitting on you and your text generator should be the last sign you need to know something has gone profoundly awry

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

this is why computing is bad now. why can i no longer make a chart that surpasses the limits of good taste

it's always DNS but sometimes we hold out hope that it can be regex again too. go on, let the LLM near the firewall rules.

Douglas Adams was a true visionary for realizing that if doors could talk, that would actually be really terrible.

randomly decided to check back in on my old counter-strike skins for the first time in years a few weeks ago during the steam sale. very funny looking numbers. completely cleared out my wish list of mostly cat and fox platformers. silliest and cutest trade i'll ever make. 10/10

Ok this is actually good and extremely funny Yes this is bad in the context of the greater We're Already In A Mild Recession And The Bubble Hasn't Even Burst Yet (bsky.app/profile/carl...) but this, in isolation, is Extremely funny

New: The market for Counter-Strike skins fell $1.75 billion overnight -- that's 25%. Investors dumped money into the digital item market amid concerns about the S&P 500 and crypto. Then, last night, Valve pushed a market-breaking update to the game

"ever since we got the new cube monument i have felt so much more like there is a giant cube present at all times!" says one employee. they asked to remain anonymous, as they can't remember who they are. "it's not even a little bit menacing!" they add, before sprinting off
