My nephew grew 7 cm in one year and 10 cm in another, so by 2040 he will be 4 meters tall!

Why would someone ever buy new, if that was the case?

I thought this was spam, but no, it's just a fun hack to fix mistyped commands. Cool.

That leads to political disaster. Changing just myself has an almost unnoticeable effect on the collective life, while political organization, action and propaganda work much better, and those rely on arguments and persuasion.

Of course, the author seems to have a pretty individualistic mind, comparing the political nature of humans to startups and markets, and that will lead to disaster in my opinion. We cannot survive in the long-term like that.

DK Bananza is wonderful, a masterpiece. Pokémon Pokopia is also really fun as a recurring game you come back to every day or every couple of days to relax and build your village. I'm also enjoying Switch 1 games on it. Pokémon Violet, for example, lagged hard on Switch 1 but runs great on Switch 2.

Good job on replacing AI with machine learning in the title. If we say "AI finds hidden ECG signal", I believe most people nowadays will assume ChatGPT or Claude found it.

Always a great thing to hear. Well paid employees, good results, and I'm definitely loving their Switch 2 releases already.

To be honest, they are pretty cute, they don't deserve cancer.

It's our Nostradamus Prophecies, just like having an old Star Trek episode for everything that is happening today.

Nah, it works, it's just a higher level of political abstraction, but we still tend to use left and right because those words seem to be accurate enough to be worthwhile.

We could use something like the political compass, but on that model we still tend to ignore the authoritarianism axis and just say everything to the left is the left and everything to the right is the right. Left is progressive, right is conservative.

Your US company banning usage of non-american models. Other than that, no.

Amazing how we always have a Trek episode for everything.

Yeah, I don't think human curiosity can be extinguished. It can be disincentivized, yes, but not extinguished. Nerds will always be nerds.

Hello. Unfortunately, due to our efforts to make agents first-class citizens, we are demoting your experience to second-class. I hope you understand. Thank you.

That would basically be customer support, and after a certain point companies start adding friction and reducing costs in actual human customer support.

With small companies you can do that, usually bug reports can be sent through email directly to a person that will review it, and you can just ask for a workaround once it is available. That won't work with bigger companies, though, unless they are unusually invested in customer support.

Ah, the wonders of copyright. A weapon disguised as protection. Like with age verification and "think of the children", copyright claims have "think of the small artists".

I don't see how, given their answers to simple questions as described in the "2026 run up to the elections" section, this party could ever be considered a leftist party.

There are some things that I won't ever defend your right of saying them, to be honest.

Yes, not only trust but my willingness to contribute money towards his paycheck. I don't want my money to end up in far-right parties.

The future of journalism is indie journalism. Just like indie web, indie games and indie art. It's the only way to fight against corporate slop and AI slop.

Yeah, I've read the entire website, but I still don't understand how a font for programming can be worth that much.

Companies aren't really that better. Actually, sometimes it's even worse, because they are not even formally required to serve the public.

It is still happening, a lot of things are still being adopted by Node after being available on other runtimes. They aren't forks, but they still provide pressure towards progress.

The problem is that for most people, facial recognition is just another method of account verification. Sometimes worse than alternatives, but also sometimes more convenient, and convenience wins over privacy if people are not actively made aware of the consequences.

README should be written for humans. Agents don't need fancy rendering in the repository page, we do. Agents already have their own dedicated context file.

The thing about "local" models for me is that they usually mean open-weight (and maybe open-source too), so they can be used locally, yes, but they can also be hosted by independent providers! With models like Qwen, DeepSeek and others, you aren't tied to a single corp, you can switch between indie providers, some of which may give you better privacy guarantees. That allows you to use the models even on devices uncapable of running them, if they have an Internet connection.

The strength with AI is with open-source models. We need to keep away from vendor lock-in and use models that allow both local usage and hosting by independent providers.

Not just LLM companies, but bots in general. They were a big problem even before LLMs.

But it's not free, unless you also call Claude free just because it has a free tier.

So the defaults are Codex and Claude? I use neither.

I think they expect you to also use an LLM to review, and I bet they are doing exactly that when asked to review someone else's code.
