Cassandra is only carbon now1d ago

A few thoughts on Astral / OpenAI, now that the emotions have sat for a bit.

First, let me start by noting that AI is an attack on open source, inherently, by necessity, and at a structural level. That argument is bigger than Astral, but the short version is that you cannot simultaneously expand the public commons and work towards it's enclosure; moreover, if the public commons do not stand for the public good, then it's not really a commons any more.

for whoever needs to hear this: you're not alone. i'm not vibecoding any of the software i write. i'm writing it by hand, but i've leveled up my emacs with eglot/lsp. i'm modernizing my stacks and use languages with excellent compilers. i think about how to do more with less. i'm trying to combine the best human-written libraries and modules and assemble them with minimal boilerplate. i enjoy reading your manuals and references. i believe in robust, secure, human-written software.

Of course it's because 2012 was a leap year, 1939 was not.
The label is correct or wrong based on the perspective: is it "in 4 days, 14 years ago" or "14 years ago, in 4 days"? I write the former (because I prefer it stylistically), but technically it's the latter.

Thought I had found a very strange bug in Véronique. Why are two different days "in 4 days"?

...I hate date and time. 😭
