sucks that political polarization on literally every issue ever means there are some things that are just sort of obvious that i have to pretend i don’t believe to get on with other leftists
hard to think of a decision more conducive to world peace than giving mbs a nuke, thank you mr president
halting problem is a skill issue, just make languages that are not turning complete

it’s only people who picked the bad language who say both languages have pros and cons
shipping miri to production to have REAL memory safety (unlike Rust!!!1)
actually working on a hard algorithm problem and finding LLMs largely a hindrance. would be less so if they had trained them to express more epistemic humility but singularity go brrrr
I think it’s interesting that AI polarization is creating an attractor effect for a memory unsafe language with a whiny dude comms strategy. It’s only few steps away from suckless (who are actual nazis) and it’s basically horseshoe theory for programming

I actually think the most exciting thing about the bun rewrite is its an encouraging sign for new languages. will the network effects in pl finally be broken?
Im not that enthusiastic about the bun rust rewrite (or bun as a concept, or claude code as a product the only reason it still exists, etc) but damn Andrew Kelley has been making some QUESTIONABLE communication decisions recently

RIP to everyone who created the torment nexus but im different. and better. maybe even better than the classic sci fi novel “Don’t Create The Torment Nexus”
This is an important new analysis that makes the case with data, that the glass is hall full on power sector greenhouse gas emissions, even after a bunch of clean energy tax credits got repealed last year. We are better off today than in 2019. But we need much more. ceepr.mit.edu/workingpaper...

I know it’s not a popular position but I really don’t see mass unemployment from generative AI soon because of structural and technical features of the tech. Gift link where I explain the reasons. It’s distraction when AI will really cause many other big problems. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/o...

That won’t stop it, however, from destabilizing society in ways more profound than we might even imagine.” @zey.bsky.social We need to focus less on the frontier & more on the homeland.
