If anyone was still on the fence about an AI bubble Nvidia announcing that they’re basically wash trading their GPU demand should be a bright flashing sign.

TWO BLOCKED FIELD GOALS!! What are the chances?!

After years of rooting against USC (fire Lane Kiffen) I find myself rooting for them in the Big 10. Pac12 solidarity forever.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

My IRL friends like to give me a hard time when I remind them that there is almost nothing in the world you “have” to do. Everything is a choice and choices have consequences. You may be picking the future consequence that you prefer but it’s still a choice.

I’m not sure some people realize that pretty much all of the internet technologies of the 90s still exist and you can just use them instead of posting on here about how things should go back to 1995 internet. You can just do it.

excited to share that we are following through on our earlier commitments and putting together an independent+neutral organization to house the DID PLC system, includes the directory service

Rust 1.90.0 has been released! ✨🦀 This release makes LLD the default linker on x86-64 linux-gnu and adds `cargo publish --workspace` to publish an entire workspace all at once! Check out the blog post and release notes for more: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/18/R...

It’s really jarring to listen to people who speak so clearly about the benefits of local first software walk right into the rake of “and everyone will just use webapps for everything” If you don’t have the bytes, it’s not your software. Everything from there is just theater.

Is anyone out there building an atproto version of HuggingFace?

There is a prevailing talking point in tech that the Web is the great platform for freedom. That the web and web technologies is the great equalizer. In some ways this is true but this viewpoint heavily skews to prioritizing the people who build tech and almost completely discards the user. 1/7

The spirit of what these EU groups are trying to do but I think the execution is wrong. I would much rather see this effort put into replacing Windows with Linux than forcing MS to support OS’s for longer.

Like aging former champion sports teams, C++ refuses to accept that the landscape has changed around it and is quickly being left behind.

Sunday’s are for LFC shirts, racing, and football

The ads and SEO writing for recipes shared online is absolutely insane. I honestly can’t stand it anymore. About to hate build a tool for getting recipes without all the garbage.

For familial reasons I’m rooting for the Vikings tonight but I fear that they aren’t as good as the Bears made them look last week. Given how bad we got blown out by the Lions, this might be a bad night for the Vikings.

The Bears offensive line is a mess. They’re so good at killing drives you’d think they’re playing for the other team. Really can’t stand the NUMEROUS drive killing penalties.

10/10 article, great framing of the current economic moment and drawing correlations to previous occurrences.

For a long time I really thought Arch was just Linux snobbery. But after using it for a couple weeks I'm really starting to see the appeal. The package manager is great and there's something about compiling packages from source that just feels right.

Slowly catching up with some of Apple’s Metal 4 announcements. I think in the next few years Apple devices will be the primary platform for running local AI models. It’s going to be hard to compete with the unified compute

Python is a godforsaken language

The thing that bothers me the most about the current AI cycle is the ideas are so unimaginative and lame. We are light on expanding capabilities of people and heavy on trying to automate things that probably shouldn’t be.

“Social” AI is a horrible idea and I hope this fails spectacularly

I just switched to using Arc browser and wow is this a beautiful piece of software. I really did not realize how bad Brave felt before.

Decided to take Arc browser for a spin and it's pretty freakin cool. The split pane feature inside a single browser window is 10/10

Currently noodling on the idea of using the encryption techniques from Ink and Switch’s keyhive to implement private accounts on atproto/bluesky. Private accounts are essentially an auth problem where there can only be one writer. www.inkandswitch.com/keyhive/note...

It feels like we’re at the beginning of a big change in how software is built and I’m not talking about AI or “Agents”. Lots of people are unhappy with the current state of tech products and there is a lot of cool projects working on something better.

Changes like this serve to highlight the uncomfortable fact that things we rely on almost as public service are in fact controlled by a single corporate entity. Thinking about ways to combine the flexibility of bsky's feeds concept and YouTube like video hosting.

This season demonstrates why Max is clearly head and shoulders above all the other drivers. His teammate finished 13th and he won by 19 seconds. With most drivers it’s hard to tell car performance vs driver performance. With Max it’s clearly all driver.

Those principals being protecting baby Lando at all costs

Catching up on Monza this morning and man I HATE that swap call from McLaren. They baby Lando so much. Couldn’t be happier that Oscar is leading the WDC. Lando absolutely has not earned it at all.

Oregon making Oklahoma State look like a high school team right now. 41-3 at halftime 😂

Really excited about what Burn is doing for AI in Rust. Going to be obsession over this for the foreseeable future.

Photographers Are Finally Getting the Credit They Deserve In News Media petapixel.com/2025/09/02/p...

Excited to be attending my first conference, doubly so that it’s #rustconf! Can’t wait to see my fellow rustaceans in Seattle

If Herta goes to F2 I will absolutely be watching. Future Cadillac F1 driver 👀

One of the biggest challenges for any meaningful AI applications is the tension between expectation of computer systems and behavior. People implicitly expect computer systems to be consistent and correct, it’s one of the great benefits. Introducing non-determinism via AI breaks this expectation 1/

This whole kerfuffle about the list of words dems shouldn’t use is exactly why I got out of politics in college. People are missing the point of the list of words that dems should avoid using because they don’t understand the first thing about how to persuade another human being.

Sorry to the people who follow me that don't like straight reposts of links. Half of my BlueSky usage is as a reading list of interesting things that get posted here 🙂

Media over QUIC (MoQ) is a new IETF standard that resolves this conflict, creating a single foundation for sub-second, interactive streaming at a global scale. https://cfl.re/4oPfrKS

Hang on, glorious leaders... isn't using taxpayers' money to acquire a stake in private businesses "communism?" www.theregister.com/2025/08/20/u...

A practical introduction to parsing (in #rustlang) jhwlr.io/intro-to-par...

What happens when you run React Server Components on a custom Rust runtime instead of Node.js? 4x faster rendering, 10k+ req/sec, sub-50ms P99 latency. Same JSX, same component patterns. Zero Rust knowledge needed. The runtime does the heavy lifting, you write the React.

Maybe I’m just old but I want nothing to do with these changes. Thank god Linux gaming has gotten so much better in the last handful of years. Might be time to ditch windows completely.

There is an interesting connection here with the work that Dr. Abby Innes has been doing at the LSE. Without getting too much into the details, this feels like another example of the ongoing failure of Neo-Liberalism and Neo-Classical economics.

My 2005 truck with 200k+ miles is better and better every day

I believe with my whole heart these things are still true. Learning things and knowing things is still important. Maybe most importantly at all there is no sustained success without knowledge. This too shall pass.

This this, so much this! I feel this acutely with The Changelog podcast. I used to listen to every episode that came out but lately I can’t stand that every new episode is something to do with LLMs

This answer is easy, just do very normal truck things and it’ll fall apart on its own.

I was just re-listening to the Oxide & Friends "Crates We Love" episode where @elizas.website correctly promoted writing "when to use" / "when not to use" docs for your crates! oxide-and-friends.transistor.fm/episodes/cra...
