Added pi to the list. Unironically considering it as the base for AI setup. https://ruby.social/@maxim/116037400645991471

PSA for those caught in the AI hamster wheel, something I wrote in my college notebook 22 years ago, still holds up:

Happiness is a cause, not an effect.

Get happy now, in your mind, then do things. You don't work towards it, you start with it, and it enables everything else.

Here's where the puck is going: AI will replace software. You ask it to solve problems, you instantly get custom apps. All computing will become this. We will be sharing T=0 prompts that produce useful results. All software engineering will become about improving AI itself.

If you're gonna embrace non-determinism at all stages of software dev, including verification, why even make software? Just have AI be the software. Why have an "if" condition when AI can decide. Unironically, that's where we're going. It's moving ground all the way down.

Code for Cats – or how your LLM is a cosplayer

The other day I read a post entitled “Opus 4.5 is going to change everything”. The gist was with Claude Opus 4.5 it’s no longer necessary to review code. I have a vague idea, but …

Is it just me, or @GitHub PR reviews have been getting more and more buggy? Now when editing a pending comment, all formatting is lost. Bullet points, paragraph breaks, `code` quotes. You just get a chunk of plain text and have to redo the formatting by hand.

If you've seen my blog post 4 years ago titled "Don’t Build a General Purpose API To Power Your Own Front End", I've finally finished writing a "4 years later" follow up to tell how it played out, and answer some piled up questions. https://max.engineer/server-informed-ui-p2

MacOS >=13 hides accurate AI-based OCR called LiveText. It's very good, it's what lets you select text in images. I was working on a Ruby-Swift bridge for it, to make scanned PDFs searchable, but a few hours ago this project beat me to it. Much recommend! https://github.com/mkyt/OCRmyPDF-AppleOCR
