I’ve been working on this since january, feels so good to have it out in the wild now. It’s taken months, I think we’ve iterated on every feature at least 4 times, and it’s been one of the hardest projects I’ve ever done. But. its. here.

Home cooking appliances have gotta be one of industrialism’s greatest inventions.

Said anarchistly:

Literally one of my favorite tasks. Finding the little abstractions people need and teasing the beauty out of the confusion… the best!

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

It's wild how much high low-tech is deployed in Ukraine rn. Cheap FPV drones, guns on rolling platforms (UVGs), exoskeletons to help them lift artillery shells. All of this is stuff made out of cheap, widely available materials, so low-tech. But the software and wide deployment of it is high-tech.

Saw this post and it really struck me how James is spot on for non-coding tasks. I ask LLMs about recipe modifications, get help orienting with finances, and talk about how to understand cat body language. A lot of those things can, arguably should, be done by the people in your life.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

We're hosting a Rust meetup in SF, WEDNESDAY April 15. Join us!

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Work in 20 and I don’t think I can do this anymore.

great post. “Knowing where you are on these axes” — roughly, how good you are at something, how good the robot is, and whether there is an objective signal of correctness — ”at any given moment is, I think, the core skill of working with AI effectively.”

I just published a deep-dive into the 250-hour build behind syntaqlite, a SQLite formatter and LSP I built using AI agents. AI agents were the only reason built this after 8 years of wanting but there's a psychological toll to AI-assisted engineering. The post-mortem: lalitm.com/post/buildin...

Well,,,, it looks like everyone has finally decided to start copying far right stochastic terror tactics 😬😬😬 Maybe it’ll be just another crazy far right lone wolf…. there are plenty of eco nazis, but between this and stuff like Charlie Kirk? seems the zone keeps getting cooler.

I think there’s a lot bluesky can do to make the experience better for people, but unlike a lot of social networks its problems are primarily _technical_, not ones of design or user friendliness. Once Bluesky cracks open privacy on their open network, I think things will change fast.

The Wandering Inn and Pirateaba is the strangest onlinephenomena I’ve seen since the SCP foundation. Super anonymous author, strsnge social media presence, hard to get into but also impossible to put down if you do??? How does this thing exist and work…. and yet it does?? It’s 15 million words??????

Continuing to stand firmly behind my worst programming opinion, which is that many small functions that are only called once are almost always much worse than a single large function.

It's really fascinating how, in a long and complex project, you kinda bootstrap up your abstractions as you go. You start with a flat list, and then maybe it's a set, and then you go build a bunch of stuff, and then you have a bunch of problems and realize you need some grouping instead

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

I've finally progressed far enough in my front end career to really appreciate the grid APIs. Such a clever little way of expressing a lot of complexity. Most of the tables in Zed are grids under the hood and it's so cool how easy `grid-template` makes it.

I can always tell that it's time to stop coding agentically when I start putting little ":(" into my messages instead of providing constructive feedback.

>In a separate incident in Los Angeles over the summer, Lyons became so distressed when ICE agents couldn’t locate a migrant on their target list after a ride along with top administration officials that one of his bodyguards took a portable defibrillator. You did that LA. Incredible work.

Please boost the shit out of mainstream media coverage of Prarieland. This is the beginning of a lot of starker political repression and getting normies and libs to freak about it is our number one protective factor.

OMG, someone might have solved the Orphan Rule problem!

Your AI code completions in Zed show up in ~200ms. That's Zeta, our Edit Prediction model, running on @basetenco.bsky.social. We love partnering with companies who keep the bar high — Baseten is one of them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuWL...

One of my favorite videos i’ve seen in a while

crimethinc.com/breakicetour In April, anarchists from the Twin Cities who have participated in resisting ICE will travel the country sharing their experiences: what they have learned from building rapid response networks, how Minnesota thwarted Operation Metro Surge, and how to defeat fascism. 🧵⬇️

So many tiny little one offs like this that make things so fun.

I wasn’t using claude during the golden gate episode,,, I hope they bring it back tho 😭😭😭

also I basically never post about my work here, but I’m a pretty good graphic designer and art director, and I’m extremely hireable! I threw these together in an afternoon on a whim; I can run wild on an actual brief with an actual budget. DM me!

It’s interesting how interacting with claude makes me reflect on my own relationship with trust. The core reason LLMs will not be replacing all labor is that they can never be trusted sufficiently. This isn’t something the labs can fix with current techniques, it’s about responsibility.

> In a variety of ways, the markets have been driven insane by Trump. They have ceased to provide a rational assessment of the world as it is right now. They underprice craziness and they overprice normality. But they’re just doing what so many of us are doing.

Solidarity to the accused 💔

Liberals take concentration of power seriously, and liberalism offers solutions to the dangers of concentrated power. @mattzwolinski.bsky.social talks about how in a new essay at @liberalism.org. www.liberalism.org/p/the-enemy-is…

Power is the problem wherever it concentrates. In 1934, Henry Simons warned that no leader, party, or monopoly can be trusted with too much of it. What if markets are about dispersing power? Read @mattzwolinski.bsky.social

Liberalism.org coming out with a banger intro. It’s an interesting project, that seems oriented towards building libertarian, progressive, and anarchist ideas into a coherent program explicitly.

We should really be utterly ruthless anyone spewing this sort of Heideggerian fascist garbage: > "You have moral obligations *because* you’re situated." Go fuck yourself and die you abysmal traitor to humanity.

We're hiring an Open Source Engineer! 🦀 Build features, review PRs, shape how contributors engage with Zed. Interesting problems, Rust codebase, small team, fully remote. Your work ships in days and users notice. Know someone? Are you someone? 👀 zed.dev/jobs/open-so...

I really hate this opinion. Rust's async implementation is the least bad of all popular systems languages, by faaaaaar

It's still so funny that they cannot stop Grok from being woke without giving it a lobotomy, so it's constantly disagreeing and arguing against it's creators. Genuinely a public service having that thing online.

Nuclear-level attack on basic bodily autonomy. I don't have words, but I do have bloody fantasies.

Ya know, I thought I was getting a good handle on my existential anxiety. I hadn't had a minor episode in ages!!! But fucking Kurzgesagt had to end my streak :(

mfs will do anything but read the code

The big problem with bluesky is that none of you listen to pop music. Or if you do, it’s 10 year old pop music. Where do the electronic and girly pop aficionados meet 😭😭

Pushing and Pulling: Three Reactivity Algorithms: jonathan-frere.com/posts/reacti...

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Bluesky is pretty doom and gloom… but it also feels like the only sane place left.

I truly believe all of this, the boomers refusing to leave, the long 90s, and Trump’s presidency, is a reaction to the civil rights movement. Some collection of things tipped the scales in freedom’s favor and they have been attempting to pump the breaks for decades.
