Jcenters, whoever you are, kill this awful website. It reflows the width on scroll, the top bar occupies 1/5 of my phone, nobody wants whatever the fucking AI expanded blog slop you are selling.

This isn’t clever, it’s just annoying.

I’m tired of people acting so naive past the point of zip-tying entire apartment buildings and building concentration camps. White supremacist manners and politeness are disgusting.

All of society is heading towards an incredibly unpopular future. Nobody wants this. Tech was a mistake. I wish them all failure and shame. Feel bad and quit

I forgot that all criticism is reserved for… Nazis? Chill

Have some empathy for the misled retail investor that gambled their savings to thieves?

Nah, they are adults. Labor should make way more decisions, but they knew what they were doing and for who.

I usually feel bad for laid off engineers, but these guys profited off of pump and dump wealth-funneling to the rich. Sucks to suck. They all played a part in normalizing scams.

Our system is designed so there is always a politician who folds for big business. The rest all hem and haw until it’s their turn to take the fall. They spread out the evil, we vote for lesser evils, and we all condemn extremism. Democracy.

The only thing any of that has to do with the US is that the US backed that theocracy! We cannot unilaterally violate all international law and sovereignty without Congress and our allies… that’s obvious though so what are you talking about?

Is it so hard to project out a couple product cycles? Computers get better. We’ve gone from $50k workstation to commodity hardware before several times

We know what the law is… the law is bullshit.

Is it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism?

I can’t tell cringe AI-bubble business pivots from AI psychosis anymore

Agreed. Publishers need to be knocked off this absurd moral high ground. If merely being rich is enough for me to profit off of Miles Davis songs for decades after his death, copyright is just another wealth redistribution to the rich. Steal all the games and music, and any ghoul that claims I’m stifling creativity can compare their compositions to mine.

Running OpenClaw is the nerd equivalent of rolling coal

Emergency notifications are done the same way! Its communism to fucking build it, so let’s have a team of a few engineers make an API to control government infrastructure from incompetent contractors on AWS, offer no real means of testing, breaking changes, downtime… and folks wonder why Hawaii is told bombs are coming

Animal testing, weapons testing, medical trials, cloning, psychological experiments… had you just never considered them before? Why this?

Gpt-oss is natively 4-bit, so you kinda can

Wow, it’s almost like having health insurance tied to employers creates a giant obstacle to pursuing less exploitative opportunities.

Mcafee for iPhone has 5 stars. iBeer has 5 stars. Every app in a search of “DMV” has five stars. Every “gpt” ai clone app has 5 stars.

The “CTO” at my small employer used this book to explain why we needed to stick with Perl and Oracle 9i in 2020.

Poor people don’t have control of their situation. You are literally victim blaming and surprised that rubs people the wrong way. Victim blaming is rude, offering your flippant two cents is rude. There, your ideas are challenged, rather than tone police go think about it.

You should feel embarrassed for “thinking” so callously and uncritically. Do you need everything handed to you? Family issues, natural disasters, medical events, house fires, abuse, wage theft, fate. I’ve worked with the destitute, there is no safety net.

So what is your thesis? The tools keep getting better, so that’s some kind of gotcha that the emporer has no clothes? Some people prefer the absolute latest and greatest so people on the previous gen were all fakers making Pelican svgs?

Maybe the productive thing is actually to ignore naysayers and goalpost movers and use the tools.

You aren’t enlightened for not liking a tool. “Oh, hammers? Absolutely a bubble, after all they never fixed the hit-your-thumb issue i blogged about, and nail guns just let you hurt your thumbs faster”

And how many dependencies does Hono have? Looks like about 26. And how many dependencies do those have?

A single static zig executable isn’t the same as a a pipeline of package management dependencies susceptible to supply chain attacks and the worst bitrot we’ve had since the DOS era.

I used bun for the first time last week. It was awesome! The built-in server and SQLite meant i didn’t need any dependencies besides bun itself, which is certainly my favorite way to develop.

I do almost all of my development in vanilla js despite loathing the node ecosystem, so i really should have checked it out sooner.

More people are employed by health insurance than healthcare. Insurance is the waste.

I’d prefer to not touch a hot stove twice. Telling me what processors I can use is Oracle- level rent seeking, and it should be mocked just like Oracle.

Mojo is the enshitification of programming. Learning a language is too much cognitive investment for VC rugpulls. You make the entire compiler and runtime GPL or you pound sand, that has been the bar for decades. If the new cohort of programmers can’t hold the line, we’ll all suffer.

Labor violations, taxes, National Highway traffic safety administration investigation Tesla.. are you willfully ignorant or a troll?

That’s insane. Do you remember DOGE or Elon taking his cronies into the same departments investigating him? Do you even remember?

Boom and bust capitalism is completely orthogonal to AI as a technology. Capitalists are sociopathic opportunists that exploit every aspect of life, that doesn’t have anything to do with AI.

Housing bubbles existed, we still use houses. The dot com bubble existed, we are still on a dot com.
