Btw this is why it is bad to be fatphobic (on top of it being bad to be an asshole): it assumes the existence of free will, something not based in reality GLP-1s strengthen this case: they establish that changes not associated with free will (in this case, hormonal changes) actually work

finally broke down and made a cargo wrapper that prevents me & agents alike from accidentally passing `--package` to cargo, or using `cargo test` instead of `cargo nextest` github.com/fasterthanli...

Wrote a bit about why LLM-written text is so painful, even when the content itself is fine, and the importance of using your own voice jola.dev/posts/the-so...

One of the things I love about Oxide is our Demo Friday, where some of us demo good error messages and get hoots and hollers. Demos, generally speaking, are usually of the happy path

WHEEEEEEEEEE github.com/rust-lang/ru...

This chicken biryani came out incredible

Why are people doing GLP-1 discourse

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

funny emails I get sometimes. not picking any of the stuff I've actually put care into, and instead finding random vibecoded slop that's just for me

most social problems have technical solutions

very little hammers on the hull of Just World Fallacy harder than “that deep socio-psychological problem is solved by this here molecule”

And for the customers who have installed one near their cubicles!

The thing I'd add is I think this also represents our empathy for datacenter technicians: the people who have to deal with the unnecessarily loud fans every day, and who get to enjoy a that much quieter environment as a result of our tighter design

Napkin math on #$LLY retatrutide P3 top line readout implies (full results forthcoming) the drug has a 99.5% efficacy rate and a 2.75σ effect size vs placebo. Not quite perfect separation between control and experimental arm like in the P2, but among the most successful drug trials in history.

Zed's agentic editing UI is fantastic, and fits the primarily adversarial way I've started using LLMs perfectly. Thanks so much @rad.gendervibes.online!

Isn't there a saying (often associated with the right) that there's one way to be correct but many ways to be wrong?

GY!BE (3 times?) Kara-Lis Coverdale Telefon Tel Aviv Floating Points Blanck Mass Photay Arooj Aftab (loved this one!) Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith Laurel Halo Claire Rousay

there are such strong cultural signifiers in that term — from the fact that it is a Hindi/Urdu term which provides a sense of the kinds of people who are not people of the well, to the caste system in the universe based around the existence of gravity wells

God, Elementary is so much better than Sherlock.

PRISMATIC GEM RUN omg There is something very satisfying about playing lots of cards and having lots of energy! The Supercritical pickup was incredible especially after I made it not exhaust

a truly horrifying and gut wrenching movie

nice to see the academic community get to where us practitioners have been for a while ;) (from proofsandintuitions.net/2026/05/18/p... )

I have things to say about various documents that are currently on GitHub and somewhat affect my life, but I'm not going to say them because the author of some of those documents blocked me on social media. Fun

The autocomplete also works great in RustRover!

at oxide we have, straight up, the best openapi generation and management tooling in the world

Nextest's repository and user configs now have schemas in SchemaStore, so you get autocomplete with Tombi! tombi-toml.github.io/tombi Thanks to Tombi maintainer ya7010 for contributing the schema generation (using schemars) code.

This is underappreciated here I think — the whole getting paid for visibility thing has been such a disaster

(vague posting) having learned a bit more about the reasons for certain behaviors from certain actors via private conversations, I'm just sad now. hope these actors find themselves in a better environment as time goes on

the overwhelming message the AI industry has sent to young people is “this will ruin any chance you have at a stable career”, of course college grads are booing it regardless of the reality of the claims, the way this technology has been sold is one of the greatest self-inflicted PR disasters ever

i think that we have a real moral responsibility to make things better for the end users of software, and that responsibility has only increased as more and more people have become “non-consensual end users” — people’s lives can be profoundly impacted by defects in software they never chose to use

Big Bang is such a great card. Would duplicate and then put Swift 3 on both copies again. Really feels like in StS2 you benefit from having these explosive turns

lmao, what a ridiculous run. You don't often get triple Squeeze+, but when you do... I love stacking damage multipliers in this game. 66 base (and ticking up due to Sentry Mode) * 2x debilitate vuln * 1.5x corrupted * 1.75x lethality is 346 damage. You can go much much higher than this, too

if only there was a high-throughput way to convert a large memory-unsafe codebase into a memory-safe language

This Bun Rust rewrite has successfully trolled me

Having Claude clean up and reorganize my messy hand-written code. Oh how the tables have turned

StS2 Regent run -> Kaleidoscope -> Infinite Blades -> go hard on card creation synergies -> comfortable victory

#30719 is a bit terrifying — they didn't even vibecode a CI check for Miri? Really concerned this is going to seriously harm Rust's reputation github.com/oven-sh/bun/...

I think the reason that folks have such a strong reaction to this is that it breaks the social contract of Rust. `unsafe` is meant to mean a human has looked at and reasoned about it. There is no way a human has looked at and reasoned about 12k unsafe blocks in 9 days

"neurosymbolic AI" do you mean the Rust borrow checker

Hmm, why do people think/say Linux distros are only 6 months behind stable Rust? Rocky Linux is currently on Rust 1.88 which is closer to a year old. 6 months might be true at the moment Rust is updated in one of these distros, but that's not the same as being 6 months behind all the time

As someone who specifically bought a home in a denser area due to the fire risk up in the hills -- this fucking sucks

But don't we have a decent amount of evidence that insider trading is not just unfair, it's also bad for society because it raises costs for everyone. The work I was pointed to was Bhattacharya and Daouk (2002)

I had no idea tbh. What a stellar background, and he then went into public health!

monitoring a bunch of claude code sessions while cooking. is this a thing

Wait, StderrLock in Rust is a reentrant lock? Lmao

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

An antimeme. No matter how many times monads are explained, nobody ever retains what it is.

Which bits of knowledge or understanding make you feel like you're peeking at the machine code, not just of our universe, but across all universes?
