good proxy for growth of vibe coding

Oh, this is cool! New rust-analyzer command. "rust-analyzer: Evaluate Predicate" Then type in the type and bound and it'll tell you whether it holds. So, you don't have to go through source code anymore. #rustlang

Lots of ink spilled on "Loop engineering", but no one seems to connect it to its much older name: Cybernetics. Maybe by the year's end, we'll recognize that it was all Control Theory engineering all along.

It’s very weird how many ads I see around sf that are essentially “we have to spend our ad budget on AI”

2026 isn't even half way done, and so far we've received over double the security reports from the entire previous year (which already was more than normal).

Like my old man Biggie said…

It’s a little surreal to see a (OpenAI) commercial flash Dennis Ritchie’s picture

I don't believe that ideas are permanently contaminated by their source. But since "no technical solution to social problems" is substantively a dubious claim, it seems worth remembering that its initial application was incorrect.

So Claude Mythos was, indeed, not marketing hype. Remember this is a general purpose model that just happens to be good at finding exploits because good models are good at lots of things. Expect similar from OpenAI & Google. And from open models in 8 months. hacks.mozilla.org/2026/05/behi...

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

A very well reasoned article. I believe I am still in the center, leaning optimistic. I started using AI coding agents in July. They worked for tedious, but mechanical refactors. The tech has improved significantly since. I use coding agents for ~80% of Toasty work now: github.com/tokio-rs/toa...

Some personal/protocol news! Looking forward to helping make PLC the trustworthy and auditable bedrock of identity on atproto. Catch me, @wseltzer.bsky.social, or @bnewbold.net at #AtmosphereConf if you want to chat! We’re still getting started but want to be transparent even in the early stages.

Yeah so my takeaway from this is that any software written in C or C++ is just doomed and will need to be replaced ASAP. People may soon be incentivized to make radical switches that would otherwise have zero momentum. e.g. Niche formally proven OSes.

woke 1 is renaming master to main. woke 2 is switching to jj

Someone built a pure Rust ELF dynamic loader / linker and dlopen()! It is extensible by design, which opens the door to turnkey custom ld-linux.so and dlopen() implementations. So many possibilities. github.com/weizhiao/Rel... github.com/weizhiao/rus...

Yeet

Cal Newport (Deep Work) in the times: “I’ve come to believe that a […] rapid revolution is possible in how we respond to our diminishing ability to think.”

So after running this a while, I can confidently say that Modal is def. not going to break the bank. I am using it all the time (from mobile, laptop, claude code cloud, claude dot ai chat) and I'm averaging about $0.10/day (plus about $0.02/day on Qwen3 embeddings). fast, cheap, globally reachable

This sold for 425 ETH. $1.59M

Fallout from the trivy compromise, part N of many: LiteLLM includes a backdoor and a malicious .pth file that "automatically executes a credential-stealing script every time the Python interpreter starts — no import litellm required" I.e., "pip install litellm" -> pwned […]

Speaking of introspection, and the leadership value thereof, and how many great people have in fact wrestled with it since long before 1920...

GitHub's had some availability issues lately. Their CTO wrote a blog post with some details about recent incidents. I wrote a quick post with my reaction here: surfingcomplexity.blog/2026/03/12/q...

sent this to the team today everything great comes from being able to delay gratification for as long as possible and it feels like we're collectively losing our ability to do that

Worth reading this in full. I come in skeptical, but this basically is a claim that an AI system at Alibaba attempted autonomous replication without human intervention. This excerpt was found and highlighted by Alexander Long. Full paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2512.24873

it's amazing how there's a renaissance of great terminal interfaces

with all the deskilling and gell-manning (etc) we're gonna get from automated thinking machines, now is the time for the 'tools for thought' crowd to make tools that help you think things through for yourself. tools to do *more* hard thinking. it should feel effortful. cherish that feeling.

That last one is a killer: you have a need, and would pay good money! Once product exists, a dozen copies come out, each charging 10% less, race to the bottom for pricing why build it? (answers: fun, oss ideology, altruism, or: build it for yourself and don’t tell anyone about it: comp advantage!)

It's funny how FOSS ended up feeding a few new megacorps that own everything when the whole point of FOSS was to prevent that from happening.

NEW: Around 60 services tied to Amazon Web Services are down in the region, affecting web traffic in the UAE and Bahrain. The outage comes following Iranian attacks on the UAE as retaliation for US and Israeli strikes on Iran.

this is an attempt by the Secretary of War to bankrupt Anthropic. good luck to everyone working there

this is about the government using AI for surveillance a somewhat rushed post about Anthropic telling the Secretary of War no, Anthropic's history with the government, etc.

Deadlifts mostly

this has the ring of truth but we can just day "uses bazel" and the rest is implied

Your post led me to stumble upon labs.ripe.net/author/ben_c..., which was entertaining and educational (as was your talk referenced from it!), thank you !
