POV: your LinkedIn DMs when you have a masters degree in aerospace engineering (for civilian space systems, but the recruiters don’t know that)

Nvidia dropped a custom rustc backend for writing CUDA kernels in Rust. THIS IS AWESOME!!! github.com/NVlabs/cuda-...

But... why though.

It’s kind of amazing that we as a species pulled off DNS

In a prompt, I made a reference to an out-of-context project I wrote years ago, so the latest Anthropic model (Opus 4.7) began speculating on how that project was designed. It printed four mostly-plausible options and picked the right one.

A GitHub for maintainers - Giving dependencies the same treatment the fork got nesbitt.io/2026/05/02/a...

I just cannot seem to get Jujutsu to *click* for me personally, but its UX feels undeniably better than Git's. I wrote about some options for bringing Jujutsu features, e.g. operation history and sans-index commit workflows, back into Git's object store. Could `jj git` be a roadmap to `git jj`?

up yours woke moralists, we'll see who borrows who

Irrefutable proof for the naysayers: LLMs CAN make art. 🙂‍↕️

IIRC Anthropic has said Claude Code is fully developed by large language models and... that really shows. The amount of regressions is kind of insane. A subset of slash commands will just do nothing all of a sudden.

Heard from @caseyreiland.bsky.social while watching SATC, season 4, Big leaving NYC, Carrie monologuing about fate: “See now that’s why I’m suspicious about ‘fate,’ it seems like it gives a lot of shitty people an out.”

github status page: "We have identified a regression in merge queue behavior present when squash merging or rebasing." reality: you merge a pr and a random sequence of commits on your main branch are reverted as part of the commit that actually lands. you are not told about this

And we don’t say so enough.

*coming back from hell* - It’s.. it’s not “good intentions” - Oh yeah? - Yeah. Linear algebra, as it turns out

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

Americans, across party lines, want corporate and dark money out of politics. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-corporate-power-reset-that-makes-citizens-united-irrelevant/

God forgive me, I love New England.

Just got a commit message with three zeros in a row. I don't think I've ever seen more than one before!

LET THE MOON PEOPLE REST

I swear to God, Anthropic is always up to the most embarrassing shit. Seriously cut it out. Oh my God, go back to pretending you're not actually doing shrinkflation.

If you’ve been moved & inspired by Artemis, NASA needs your help. Literally during A2, the president proposed cutting NASA science 47%, canceling 54 missions, including many already in-flight. To help stop these cuts, check out @planetarysociety.bsky.social www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

Core Dispatch #2 is in the works! Got a cool CPython-adjacent link, tool, or quote? Submit it for feature in the next edition! coredispatch.xyz/submit

Thinking about the alternate path laid in front of us by the Artemis II crew, and how I felt hearing people experience the night sky in our moon’s shadow, live, for the first time. Genocidal threats over territory within 12 hours of that accomplishment… the contrast can’t be more clear than that.

We could have covered two-thirds of all US college tuition this year (or tripled NASA’s annual budget) with what the Pentagon spent in 5 days alone last September. I really cannot comprehend the sheer amount of money we can spend. It’s amazing what NASA does with one-third of one percent.

If the creation of an article is a layered endeavor—if purpose, content, structure, and so on are to some extent separable—then maybe you’d like AI to replace YOU as a columnist at the New Yorker, Joshua

I have a CNF piece about my aunt up at @whaleroadreview.bsky.social today. She unexpectedly died in November 2024. This is what I wanted to say about her at her funeral that I couldn’t: that I was so angry about how ppl spoke about her chronic illness, and how hard she made me laugh.

Go Artemis!

happy tdov, nerds

This picture of my cat makes him look like a literal baby WTF!!!!!

Wrote a bit about a small trick I've found while coordinating edits across multiple repositories.

We are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's std::thread on the GPU. This has never been done before. www.vectorware.com/blog/threads... Supporting Rust's std::thread enables existing Rust code to work on the GPU and makes GPU programming more ergonomic.

Tall glasses of ice cold 2% at The Federalist tonight.

@fasterthanli.me is absolutely *cooking* with Tracey. I couldn't be more excited. Using this for a prototype IDL project for postcard, but it's so good I'd like to replace postcard's spec with one written in tracey (or really: just add annotations to the existing markdown+rs!) tracey.bearcove.eu

Artemis II/Artemis program update press conference starting momentarily. I'll live post the highlights in this thread!

Fennel update 🥺

The counterfactual isn’t really worth considering since destruction is obviously baked into this administration, but it’s wild that had they instead left research alone they might have been able to claim they found ways to prevent forms of cancer, MS, and other horrible diseases.

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

So much love for @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social

tomorrow, StandWithMinnesota.com will hit a million site visits and over 650,000 unique visitors. i made it 10 days ago with $600 from you guys for hosting and cloudflare. thank you. thank you.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

ICE has detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis, despite a judge ordering the baby’s release.

Top two articles are about ICE abducting a 5 year old and a 2 year old. Below that, news about a historically large protest and general strike. Then articles detailing how ICE lies about their actions and how the White House makes/publishes fake images about the anti-ICE protests.

Future historian looking for an opening anecdote: Today, Jan. 23, 2026, the people of Minnesota hold a general strike to protest the federal gov't's assault on their persons and rights. Also today, someone (perhaps a billionaire) will pay ~$5,000,000 for a copy of the Declaration of Independence.

Fraud which was committed during a Republican administration! I’m glad that the government threw money out the door during the early days of COVID. This was one of the known consequences. The next administration began aggressively prosecuting. The system worked.
