Folks, I rarely block people on here, but this morning I find someone in my mentions that actually upsets me with their strange vitriol. Like I would not feel safe in this person’s physical presence. A bunch of you followed them before I blocked them. I don’t follow police but just so you know.

it's not an "edge router" unless the packets never quite make it to their destination

who is ready for #GamerGate2, this time doing investigations and writeups about suspected use of AI...

this labeler tells you a bunch of useful things but the killer app is the flag for if somebody’s caught 20+ blocks in a 24-hour period and I never want to be without it again

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

There are two types of problems in programming: cache in validation, DNS, and off-by-one errors.

i've bit the bullet and made rue-lang.dev lot of work to do there, haha. but the infra is now set up. proud of how far my little language has come

We also know that Waymos injured no one this week, and we statistically suspect 10-11 people suffered life-changing injuries from human-driven cars in S.F. But we don’t *know* that; it is so common the media doesn’t report on those at all—we’ll only know once the trauma ward publishes data.

Quick quiz: how many people in S.F. were killed by Waymos this week? How many people in S.F. were killed by human drivers this week? (The answers are zero and two, but no one would know that from the reactions today.)

Yeah instead of stopping in the middle I wish they'd just blown through them like the multiple human drivers who nearly hit me tonight

ignore the title about caching, this is the best explanation of how LLMs work, period

@necedemalis.bsky.social I get a DM from bridgy! I don’t know if this will get to you or not though

one thing i would want to talk about is #rue-lang github.com/steveklabnik... I've actually completely re-started it since a week ago. and it's mostly further along, but also slightly behind, where it was when i stopped working on it in... august?

tomorrow is thirteen years since I started with #rustlang i kinda want to write a blog post but i also kind of don't mostly because i wouldn't really have time to engage with responses. we'll see...

Blows my mind it hasn't even been a full year of congestion pricing in NYC yet. Years of cranks whining about it and then you just DO IT and everything is instantly better and everyone gets used to it and moves on. We should do good things more often! PS - T-minus 12 days to Streets Mayor Mamdani!

How can those dumbasses be so corrupt that they’re messing up implicating Bill fucking Clinton

a long time ago, when "log in with facebook" was new, someone made a "hey log in and say which one of your friends is cute, if you both say yes, we'll match you!" dating site ... someone else decided to shitpost-ify it and present a page with the same thing, except it was "log in with linkedin"

Do you have any examples of instructional tech videos that you really like? I'm looking it at increasing the quality of mine and would love to know examples of formats that work well.

i mean don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Allan too but did he like, design the wrenches or anything

i was hanging out on thanksgiving and was like "sure i'll put on the parade so i can talk to my mom about it later" but turns out even though it's free to watch you basically can only get the fancam versions on youtube so i didn't watch it

every day is another “here’s someone who looks like your grandma. the secret police kidnapped her and she has been in a camp for half a year without proper medical care. we’re begging for anyone with any amount of power to actually say something and try to stop it”

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.

every anti-Waymo argument is really an argument to ban cars, pt 123124

a year that begins with the loss of david lynch and ends with the loss of rob reiner qualifies as a nightmare

people are trying to convince me that linux is real and good, but how could an all-loving operating system allow and create such suffering?

i am eager for the AI hype cycle and bubble to burst so that we can hopefully move on to a more sustainable and practical ecosystem of AI that isn’t dominated by power hungry grifters, villains, and idiots the technology is good, local/open models exist, privacy/accuracy are possible

I'm happy to announce arborium, a collection of 96 tree-sitter grammars (so far) that compile cleanly as crates and npm packages, for desktop & wasm. It comes with themes, two rustdoc integrations, a clean HTML+ANSI highlighter, get it while it's hot: arborium.bearcove.eu#rust

This is a good presentation. 1000% agree on the “be nice” bit.

Related: One of the most interesting parts of being in a Waymo is you watch other drivers absolutely rage at it because it generally obeys every speed limit and traffic law, and this pisses off so many drivers who are used to being able to pressure other people into going faster.

so i've been getting spam calls, like 100x this week, from numbers that keep changing, so i can't effectively block them what's the best thing to do here?

people are being weirder about me than normal in the last 48 hours, is there something in the water

That said, I hope the game will get a more nuanced label than “new Jon Blow game”. While the creative vision is his, he didn’t make any of the original games and there are a lot of talented people at Thekla who also deserve credit.
