Look, maybe AI for professional programming is overhyped, but for the huge number of professionals who need to program as a part of their job, but programming is decidedly NOT their job, but who do not have programmers available to them, LLM's are.monunmental. For these people, these LLMs are huge productivity enhancers. We shouldn't be measuring productivity gain by professional programmers, but by the larger population of professionals who are required to wear many different hats.

Yeah, I'd have no trouble voting for that $1T package. There are way too many conditions. There are lots of ways Musk doesn't get paid. The original $56B package was only revenue and stock price based. If it was like this one, it would also have been based on car deliveries, and solar installs, and stationary battery sales. He would have totally missed on the solar installs, despite being massively successful on everything else.

Blame Tesla for the branding. Wikipedia on the Model Y L[0]

In June 2025, Tesla introduced the three-row, six-seater version of the Model Y, marketed as the Model Y L.[84] Debuting in China and produced at Gigafactory Shanghai, the variant introduces a six-seat configuration with a lengthened cabin and upgraded interior features. It is equipped with 19-inch aero wheels in a new design and offers a new exterior colour option called Cosmic Silver. Deliveries in China commenced on September 2, 2025.[85]

This 1000x.

Discovering you have trauma is a kind of diagnosis, so now you can figure out the kind of professional help you need.

I don't think there's really an epidemic of trauma hypochondriacs. It's not an excuse to play victim or anything. It's simply important to recognize that trauma means you're probably not going to get better on your own, and you should find help.

It would take a combination of accumulated goodwill, unity, a significant legislative majority to overcome the filibuster, and a perceived mandate from the people (particularly in certain swing states) to survive the blowback that would follow pushing gun control on the level of another AR-15 ban through — plus a lack of other competing legislative priorities (e.g. health care reform) that could suffer as a result of the gun control push.

This lack of overwhelming political firepower and clear focus on guns and guns alone is why they haven't acted, not any kind of goodwill or sudden appreciation for the Constitution. They haven't banned common firearms yet because they can't, not because they don't want to.

It is entirely consistent to defend somebody's freedom of speech but then wish to dissociate from that person if their speech offends your sensibilities. This is just a variation on the old "freedom of speech" vs "freedom from consequences" / "freedom of reach" dichotomies.

Maybe the best option is, as you indicate, to use discretion when breaking the barrier between your private and work lives. However, airing your opinions on a public forum with your public identity largely precludes having such barriers.

I'm kind of ambivalent about jujutsu. There's too big of an impedance mismatch between GitHub PRs and jujutsu, nor does it have a good VS Code UI.

I only use it when I have a ton of minor PRs I want to work on simultaneously, otherwise I just do git worktrees.

I'm mainly in favour because my name is JJ and sharing my name with a widely-used source control tool might help my career.

No text, no chance, perfect information.

If you have to read things, roll things, or hide things, it's not an abstract.

(This fails to include backgammon and Parcheesi when maybe it should, and includes Zark City when somehow I feel it shouldn't, but it's not a bad starting point.)

Additionally: No dexterity (which is kind of a special case of "no chance").

So much of their planned earnings was coupled with cozying up to the current political administration:

> The loss of EV credits as a result of Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act was a factor in the public breakup between Musk and the president and has continued to influence the company’s sales forecasts.

> Musk has also insulted Sean Duffy, the US transportation secretary, this week in a series of posts that included calling him “Sean Dummy” and reposting calls for him to be removed from his post. Duffy, who is also acting head of Nasa, stated on Monday that he would reopen the bidding for contracts related to the space agency’s Artemis moon mission because Musk’s SpaceX rocket company had fallen behind on its timelines for the project.

To add to your point, chess is relatively irrelevant vs other games. And there's a chance it is precisely because it is too simple. After all, human chess players have been beaten two decades ago. Dota 2 game and players were not (as of last try by OpenAI) - certain mechanics had to be removed to compete with the top players.

> The moment you want to rely on a JavaScript library or generate some CSS you pretty much have to pull in Node and NPM because there just so much value in those ecosystems.

Perhaps I'm missing details here but isn't that a reality with non-js web frameworks? The Phoenix docs mention esbuild and npm right off the bat:

Laravel expects node, npm, and vite at the very least:

> But thinking kids are made weaker from any and all trauma is just reductive to the point of not useful.

Huh? No, that's the whole point, how important and useful it is.

It's to separate out the non-traumatic experiences where you recover just fine... from the genuinely traumatic experiences that do harm you, and for which professional help is really useful in recovering from.

The “X% AI coded” metric needs to die. It is completely meaningless.

The nature of development work is changing. A project can be 100% written by AI but guided so closely by humans that the process wasn’t much faster. Alternatively, AI can make a project faster by helping with architecture and other things beyond writing code.

When people quote “70% AI coded”, it implies that 100% is some mythical goal that means AI is writing all code unsupervised. But most production AI code at the moment is still developed in lockstep with humans.

The thing is, the main reason the hype for software engineers is because they're the main cost of extremely lucrative SAAS companies. If you could do software without the engineers, that's basically just a VC's wet dream of extremely low cost of revenue. On top of very low marginal costs, typically 0 delivery costs (compared to shipping), often unencumbered by things like tariffs.

So like, 2-10xing the productivity of someone who gets paid <<< a software engineer? And who is more 1:1 with the profit from each widget? They don't care that much.

But juicing an already extremely juicy fruit? Now that's worth 70x ARR.

This but also: not the managers in the teams that build/"protect" it.

But really, leadership above, echoing your parents.

I just went through this exercise. I had to estimate the entirety of 2026 based on nothing but a title and a very short conversation based on that for a huge suite of products. Of course none of these estimates make any sense in any way. But all of 2026 is gonna be decided on this. Sort of.

Now, if you just let us build shit as it comes up, by competent people - you know, the kind of things that I'd do if you just told me what was important and let me do shit (with both a team and various AI tooling we are allowed to use) then we'd be able to build way more than if you made us estimate and then later commit to it.

It's way different if you make me to commit to building feature X and I have zero idea if and how to make it possible and if you just tell me you need something that solves problem X and I get to figure it out as we go.

Case in point: In my "spare" time (some of which has been made possible by AI tooling) I've achieved more for our product in certain neglected areas than I ever would've achieved with years worth of accumulated arguing for team capacity. All in a few weeks.

One way to correct this misalignment is to give the bounty platform a cut of the bounty. This is how Immunifi works, and I've so far not heard anyone unhappy with communicating with them (though, I of course will not be at all shocked or surprised if a billion people reply to me saying I simply haven't talked to the right people and in fact everyone hates them ;P).

I found it interesting that there's a lot of super specific categories. E.g.:

* Commercial Footware [sic]

* Fireplace, Fireplace Screens and Accessories Stores

* Rubber Stamp Store

* Electric Razor Stores–Sales and Service

* Tent and Awning Shops

As well as the fact that every single airline, rental car, and hotel brand (e.g., Courtyard and Residence Inn separately, rather than one for all Marriott brands) gets its own MCC instead of there being one per industry like is the case for everything else.

"You could take about 90% of that out and into dedicated tools "

But then you would loose plattform independency, the main selling point of this atrocity.

Having all those APIs in a sandbox that mostly just work on billion devices is pretty powerful and a potential succesor to HTML would have to beat that, to be adopted.

The best thing to happen, that I can see, is that a sane subset crystalizes, that people start to use dominantly, with the rest becoming legacy, only maintained to have it still working.

But I do dream of a fresh rewrite of the web since university (and the web was way slimmer back then), but I got a bit more pragmatic and I think I understood now the massive problem of solving trusted human communication better. It ain't easy in the real world.

Without any sort of formally posted bug bounty program explicitly authorizing this sort of activity the CFAA prohibits unauthorized access of "protected computers". I would classify this as legally risky. If FIA had a stick up their ass they could definitely come after the researcher. The researcher's ethical standing is pretty clean in my book, but this was definitely a little more than just changing a URL parameter (only a little more). I would say this is unsafe to do if you are in the united states. The stopping point was somewhere around "I think I could provide the admin role" and reaching out to the best contact you can find and say "Hey, I am an ethical white hat security researcher and I noticed X and Y and in my experience when I see this there is a pretty reasonable chance this privilege escalation vulnerability exists. The chance it exists is high enough in my experience that you should treat it like it exists and examine your authorization code. If you would like I can validate this on my end as well if you give me permission to examine this issue. I am an ethical security researcher" ---> point over to your website and disclosed issues if you got em. To just do it is ehh... I would not take the risk. However if I /did/ do it I would definitely disclose it to them immediately and give an explanation like the above. Shooting the messenger in this case would be pretty asinine, especially if they didn't access anything sensitive, that would preclude FIA from having any evidence you did anything sketchy (cause you did not). The reason I would not do it is because you never know if a system like this pre-fetches data, etc. and that is definitely opening you up to liability of possessing PII etc. Overall, I have disclosed issues like this in the past without actually exploiting the issue to good results. Some times companies ignore it. You can always say "If you do not want to treat this issue as a vulnerability I am going to write this up on my website as an example of things you should probably not do" if you feel ethically compelled to force them to change without actually exploiting the issue. People tend to get the message and do something.

Th CEO is an attention seeking moron who used to spam HackerNews with job posts for his previous company (Skio) which got preferential treatment as a YC company. I wouldn’t pay any attention to this company.

Their original schtick was charging $10k to get on their waitlist, which clearly failed as now you can “get started for $0” per their website.

Interesting that it was an ai-tech weather balloon that hit the plane at 36,000 ft and not space debris like originally assumed! Very fortunate that cabin pressure was maintained, there were no other major systems malfunctions and the aircraft was able to land safely in Salt Lake City.

Kind of crazy that even a lightweight object like a weather balloon imparts enough force to crack open a cockpit window. The 30,000-40,000 ft range is pretty heavily occupied by commercial airliners so having AI weather balloons floating around at those altitudes in a flight path seems pretty risky without real-time coordination with air traffic control.

Imagine if this happened at night, or in a thunderstorm or fog etc where they couldn't immediately land safely, might have been a lot worse.

>A part of the issue is IMO that browsers have become ridiculously bloated everything-programs.

I don't see how that solves the issue that PSL tries to fix. I was a script kiddy hosting neopets phishing pages on free cpanel servers from <random>.ripway.com back in 2007. Browsers were way less capable then.

I’ve used browser dev tools to regularly add additional drop down options to menus that weren’t present. Huel, for example, only offered 2 or 4 week subscriptions, so I added 3 weeks to it because that’s the frequency I needed, and it worked no problem. 3 weeks later my shakes arrived and every 3 weeks since.

> It's a meaningless nonsense tautology? Is that the level of leadership there?

I don't understand why everyone always likes to bitch about why their preferred wordsmithed version of a layoff announcement didn't make it in. Layoffs suck, no question, but the complaining that leadership didn't use the right words to do this generally shitty thing is pointless IMO. The words don't really matter much at that point anyway, only the actions (e.g. severance or real possibility of joining another team).

My read of the announcement is basically saying they over-hired and had too many people causing a net hit to forward progress. Yeah, that sucks, but I don't find anything shocking or particularly poorly handled there.

That is only as far as you or I are concerned. The environment where you first write the rules then someone can arbitrarily come and say nah that's not what we meant (with any consequences) is far worse than any low trust environment. Vague rules with selective/interpretative enforcement is in fact what authoritarian countries like Russia/China tend to use. Disturbing social harmony is illegal and all the right thinking people know it when they see it.
by thayne | 2025-10-23 03:05:36+00:00
Looking through some of the links in this post, I there are actually two separate issues here:

1. Immich hosts user content on their domain. And should thus be on the public suffic list.

2. When users host an open source self hosted project like immich, jellyfin, etc. on their own domain it gets flagged as phishing because it looks an awful lot like the publicly hosted version, but it's on a different domain, and possibly a domain that might look suspicious to someone unfamiliar with the project, because it includes the name of the software in the domain. Something like immich.example.com.

The first one is fairly straightforward to deal with, if you know about the public suffix list. I don't know of a good solution for the second though.

There is a minimum threshold that a partner must make in order for it to be economically advantageous due to "doubling up" and sharing resources. Below this threshold, the partner is not pulling their weight relative to median living expenses.

That threshold is about 38-40k USD as of 2025.

About 40-55 percent of single men in the US meet that threshold.

So - there is probably not a serious shortage of "economically advantageous" men. Where marriage would make perfect sense.

But I don't doubt there is a shortage of "economically attractive men". Women seem to prefer a partner that makes the same or more than them. And the same goes with level of education... oh and they must be tall, oh and ideally a symmetrical face with a happy family ... this pool of men is diminishingly small.

Your link proves my exact point. You need some specific one-off gear from some no-name android tablet manufacturer that doesn't fit any other car. LOL@ this thing running Android 12, which was out of support in March of this year... Much aftermarket support wow.

The 2004 Accord has a DIN slot in it. Which has a myriad of options available for it, despite the dwindling aftermarket.

Have you seen how to upgrade a 2023 Honda Accord infotainment system? You can't without major work. You can use the factory head unit, and feed all the amplified signals into a $1000+ sound processor, with a bunch of other modules specifically built for the car, then run the speaker outputs out to some crazy-ass 8 channel amplifier (because more speakers means the stereo is better for some reason), then feed that back to your speakers. And then at that point, all you've upgraded is the audio, not even the head unit itself. And why does it even have a center channel again?

Also, people obviously care about what infotainment is in their cars, as there is a huge amount of people saying they won't buy a car without CarPlay. Sounds like people DO want to augment their infotainment systems. Nobody is trying to do it, because you can't do it. Imagine if you could buy the car you wanted, and install your own accessories in it.

That description feels relatable to me. Maybe buffered more than buttered, in my case ;)

It seems to me that would be a tick in the “pro” column for this idea of using pixels (or contours, a la JPEG) as the models’ fundamental stimulus to train against (as opposed to textual tokens). Isn’t there a comparison to be drawn between the “threads” you describe here, and the multi-headed attention mechanisms (or whatever it is) that the LLM models use to weigh associations at various distances between tokens?

Definitely not what I want. I'm perfectly happy getting both fields at the same time in a single query the way I do now.

> and moves more of the domain's constraints into the database schema where it belongs.

No, I prefer to keep my domain constraints at the application level where they're far more flexible.

The database is for storing information, not for validating my business logic.

I mean, I realize some people want to build some of that logic into the database, especially when many applications interact with it. But it's not a superior design pattern. If you have a single application, it's perfectly valid and desirable to put all business logic in the application, not the database.

> It's also the norm to be told that you need to be vulnerable and share your trauma and you're lesser if you don't.

I think the norm now is that you should share your trauma with a therapist, to help heal. I can't imagine telling anyone to share their trauma, regardless of gender.

> and have no winning move.

This is a common incel talking point, and to be honest I don't think it has basis in reality. It's totally fine to share with a therapist and I don't know who would criticize someone for it. If a friend criticizes you for going to therapy, they aren't a friend.

Should you be able to also share with your friend? Yeah, but there's also the concept of trauma dumping, where you use your friends as a therapist, and that has its own problems. Sometimes folks aren't in the right mental space to hear your problems, especially depending on the context (like, were you abused as a child? maybe they were too).

"rather hard" is really underselling things. Without considering generator->motor losses, 250W is a lot of power, even for a larger (>80kg/176lbs) rider. For basically anyone who doesn't train on the bike, this is an unsustainable effort.

Even a floor of 100W would rule out smaller/less athletic riders.

The company's main site is truly bonkers. 27 repetitions of the term "Tier 1," half of them applied to nonsensical things. The CEOs bio lists his League of Legends ranking, twice. 14 available products listed for a supposedly 4 month old company. 24-point feature comparison against ChatGPT, almost none of them even remotely related to anything ChatGPT is even targeting.

Honestly this seems like the product of a guy on a fast track to a major nervous breakdown.
