@cos @mrowe @nonspecialist things like that used to be an art, you used to have to curate a library of things useful for any occasion. Now you just prompt an AI. šŸ˜•

Who hasn't spent the weekend exploring the x86 boot process for no good reason at all.

Gitea: Git with a cup of tea

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

By the way, if you go to https://github.com/claude and "block this user", every Github repo you visit containing code credited to Claude will actually have a warning sigil

discovered a cool trick for writing a script that runs some commands in parallel and waits for all to complete while also logging and propagating errors properly

Constantly reminded of ā€œthe market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solventā€, in the context of the most recent internal presentation about the adoption, promotion, and never ending pushing of ā€œAIā€.

I can’t wait for the ai bubble to pop so that I can buy up the hardware from the data centers for cheap

@nonspecialist have you looked at the "compiler" or the "browser" that AI agents supposedly wrote "from scratch". The compiler can't optimize, assemble or link, and the browser doesn't even compile. They can't refactor the compiler any further or it breaks in weird ways, and the browser cost trillions of tokens and uses libraries for core functionality. Pretty good demonstrations of exactly what you are saying.

Though I would say "make the damn thing compile" is a pretty well constrained problem....
