At what point should we expect #Claude to be banned outside the US altogether?

Took my daily dose of microplastics. Now, back to work!

P.S: some countries will never change. #bulgaria

Have you had that awkward feeling, when you are able to speak the mother tongue of the other side, but you two have been talking in English for whole Eternity, so you just get along with it?

@JoshuaACNewman @preslavrachev

yes, true as well.

the root cause is there. but its sad that this is making all these #maker #gamer #local #ai things almost impossible.

happy i have some older #raspberrypi which i can use for projects..

but 3A is still fiun:
macos 7.6.1. runs on that 2" .. bit too small ;)

Are you f-ing kidding me? #raspberrypi

Thinking of MCP as “service discovery” is about the same as thinking of blockchains as “storage.” Does the job within the tight circumstances, but pretty terrible for any general-purpose use.

To dissuade management and CTOs from slapping the term MCP on any API imaginable (because they will).

Why is it so difficult for ppl to admit that:

A) most white collar jobs are total BS. They became BS way before LLMs appeared on the stage. LLMs are just the cure - a lazy solution to a bonkers requirement.

B) Programming isn’t as exciting as it was 10 years ago.

Ed Zitron: "LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don’t want to code, the researchers who don’t want to research, and the lawyers that don’t want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful AI is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs’ outputs tend to be people with low standards." https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-revenge-of-the-business-idiot/ 2/n

Go is such a boring language, especially when an LLM writes it, that every few months I get sick of things just working. I start looking for an intellectual challenge. But then, I realize how averse to magic and tribal knowledge I’ve become, and run back to my setup.

Is it too late for Python to ditch the sync-await madness, and move to goroutine-like micro-threads?

I’m just sick and tired of people and AIs slapping async on every function in the call chain, only to figure out that a simple blocking execution would have made so much more sense.
