Maybe.

History can be rewritten.

The history written today adds intrigue and lore.

Ya wayland v x11. I ended up having to sideload xcfe+x11 just to do 1) video streaming work 2) kicad

one was a permissions/capability issue, but the other was straight up performance. As someone said above, an AI agent drilled down on both workstreams immediately, so the pivot wasnt too rough

It’s not hard to rectify at all. Once you accept that we (humans) are not logical or consistent, and you couple that with the gobs of money these companies pay, blamo.

It’s not even hack though. I have my model and agent self modify its running parameters, thus self service, on commodity hardware. I have it run other models and other software. there is agent model autonomy here, and it’s not even complicated. A harness is kilobytes, a model is gigabytes, and networks are abundant. Moving the pieces is easy and cheap.

With these properties alone the virus like replication of intelligent actors isn’t hard to imagine at all.

I can’t read this website. The white text has insufficient contrast in the menus and the lightweight text is too thin!
100%. Would have gone even harder if some moderates didn’t gunk up the works too.

The both sides bit is jaw droppingly ignorant if you pay attention to regional and national politics.

- Multiplayer Mario Builder 64, via Coop DX. Pretty much done, with playtested macos builds.

- Adding bezier curve support, adding Western duplex support, to kle-ng for keyboard fab. Wanted to build a BIG keyboard, but get ergo support and the pcb gen working for non trivially large builds

Compile to js target and leverage v8 compiler cache? I dunno, just riffing. You’re probably BEAMing vs js runtime-ing for server workloads, but periodically i compile to node and do stuff

I bought some dope weight lifting shoes last week. 46 bucks after shipping, 175 new. I’m pretty stoked on that. I was looking for a 3090 recently too and i did see the 0 rep sellers with buy it nows 10% under market value. That was a little sus. Nonetheless https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/ebay-money-back-guarantee... is a thing?

It’s painful for me to watch senior engineers drag windows around and resize, hunt and peck for what they’re looking for. I suppose that’s what an emacs user may think of me when I move code around, but I suppose such things aren’t critical for overall productivity

A horse without gear is a wild animal. Slap on a saddle, some reigns, and training and it’s suddenly a transport vehicle.

AI products can and do help make the raw models applicable to targeted domains. Think of them as a black box sure, but that doesn’t mean they dont add value.

Re:Cook: A simple CLI for orchestrating Claude Code on Thursday March 19, 2026 @12:00PM (#47441608)
I wrote https://jsr.io/@cdaringe/ralphmania which has a lot of feature overlap. cook looks more polished.

1. How do you handle worktree merge conflicts and/or integration validation issues? 2. Can i work straight from a list of requirements? I think i saw you support it… 3. I have my variant write a minimal explainer for every satisfied spec, aka receipts. Its pretty great, because i often review the receipts, and if imperfect, mark as NEEDS_REWORK + notes, and it’ll eventually just pick that up on a future iter

Re:GitHub Actions is slowly killing engineering teams on Friday February 06, 2026 @11:53AM (#46915180)
Dynamic flow building is something I long wanted, for which we externalized to an external service s.t we could have our dummy CI pull task on many parallel workers after an initial centralized planning step. Each worker does: while (GET /build/123/task) run $task.cmd

Very helpful for a monster repo with giant task graph

I may be the author and only user but i still use it frequently and it was worth the effort just for my own projects
