This post has been shared practically everywhere to present the whole spectrum of opinions on AI. And yet I haven't seen anyone adding disclaimer: 1. Karpathy is not a Software Engineer. Being AI Researcher is not the same 2. Karpathy has financial incentive in promoting FOMO among engineers

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

the way that ai is being advertised now is that everyone has to pretend to be incompetent and incredibly incapable and useless at everything

This year I need Playwright Wrapped: top failing tests, most flaky ones, in what percentile I’m in as manual scenario verifier fan

If you’re not scared enough, it’s ibuprofen-doesnt-work-but-appointment-tomorrow kind of pain

My Halloween costume this year is agonizing toothache and going over limit on dental insurance.

Somehow I haven’t posted any spirits for a while. It’s time to fix it!

If I lost memory due to an accident, I would abuse the phrase “for as long as I can remember” at every available opportunity

Some on-call engineer at AWS today

Here’s what Brooklyn thinks about current AI slop hype

For some New Yorkers this is the scariest Halloween decoration of the season

I don’t know who at The Met comes up with these descriptions, but this a terrible handgun to play Russian roulette

The only reason engineers these days still know some HTML is that it conveniently looks a bit like JSX

If I were to start a SaaS/PaaS, I would build it around E2E testing at its core. It forces you to make infra things approachable: user provisioning, resource allocations, APIs availability, etc. As byproduct, you are able to recreate a challenging environment with code… and test against it!

I don’t need motivational apps or courses, I got spam accounts in Telegram

UX theory: Slack only got traction because GMail and Outlook UIs are still garbage

It is very hard to be a French wine fan when Italian wines exist

Nothing makes me angrier than sudden spikes in latency

Jesus, man, I'm busy, alright? If I had your money, I'd also be able to post as often as you do.

If had a dime every time I see “spearheaded” in a candidate’s CV… I would be able to retire by the end of the week

Just overheard probably greatest exchange at a bar: Gen X/boomer, pointing at the check: — may I ask for change? Millennial/zoomer bartender: — it starts with you

I don’t use Instagram, but still sometimes happen to take pictures that worth sharing

Altman, Amodei, Musk. Is it a job requirement to be a narcissistic sociopath to run an AI company?

That sudden moment when you scroll the timeline and see a screenshot of your work 😳

I’ve been out of social networks for two weeks so bear with me while I am going through notifications Also happy Friday, treat yourself with something nice, you deserve it

This app is still about skies, right?

Wife did the math. Hope to see the next power of two day with her as well

Asking real questions here

“There’s no need for fact checking” — Mark Zuckerberg, registered sex offender

Do you know what I really need? I need my pulled pork internal temperature to depend on AWS/Azure availability.

A message to those motivated folks who’s already went to the gym today: It’s okay to give up. Be realistic. Set your priorities straight.

The way I read State of JavaScript.

Given all the advances in chip and storage efficiency it is embarrassing how long it takes for modern MacBooks to restart or apply updates.

Very random and not so subtle @bsky.app ad found at Union Sq

Getting compliments from dudes about my watch, I now begin to understand what’s the deal with jewelry for women.

Part time street performer

It is actually a hunting dog

This is the first time I’m looking at a year summary and it is quite underwhelming. Of course I know which albums I had on repeat this year. And I only listen by album, no shuffle.

Is that… too much of Alice in Chains? Nah, I don’t think so

Out of all the statistical crap GitHub posted recently about Copilot "efficiency" I find this chart the most amusing. As some folks have already commented, the math was probably done by an LLM.

The kind of chill weather we have in Brooklyn is that kind of weather to eat some soup. However, our plans to go out were defied by the fact we have to go outside and endure the weather. This is when we realized that certain mixes of whiskey and vermouth can be a great substitute for ramen!

Life of beagle is extremely hard. All the squirrels that have to be chased, all the street trash that needs to be eaten… Y’all people have no idea!

> Say what you will about technical debt at your average startup, but that technical debt was hard-won, written by hand over the course of years. With modern tools, we can greatly accelerate that process. Do we want to accelerate that process? macwright.com/2024/11/20/n... by @macwright.com

This website is so mature and serious now, but this microblog going to stick to its roots, documenting my alcoholism origins

Found an old photo from some New Year's Eve party. Recalled I owned a watch back then. Tried to remember what was the model. Realized it is now in Vintage section 👨‍🦳

With bsky getting traction and as I keep following more people, I begin to like Mutuals feed even more: it’s like a small inner circle, our own club bsky.app/profile/did:...

Revenge photobomb

All I really needed was some basic Remark.js setup (that is the underlying tool for MDX anyway) and Gulp to wire things together. Oooh we are going back to the old days!

I am confident that HTML, CSS, JS, Markdown will stick around for another 50 years. Not so sure about React ecosystem.

Getting back to my blog’s codebase after long time, can’t quite recall why I over engineered it that much. It’s not like I really don’t need those features, but within a year the codebase shows signs of aging.
