The parts of Claude Code necessary for it to continue to do work didn't go down for me so that's nice.

Keep these fucking people away from me. I never wanna run code written by any of them. Oh my God. I've never read Hacker News before and I can't believe there's an entire website of people like this. I respect literally none of these people. What the fuck is wrong with them.

This is correct.

Movie about the people freaking out about an AI launching nukes when it's clearly and explicitly a game, call that GameWars

The thing is if you actually *read the fucking paper*, it's explicitly a GAME. The LLMs are being tested on their ability to win a wargame scenario with diplomacy and guile, not on what they'd actually do in that situation.

How do you know whether it's a sphere or torus?

Simple tools. Simple tools everywhere.

"Good news: we automated every job. Bad news, you can't afford to make our profits keep increasing so we're shutting down production of everything."

Who needs profits when labor becomes free?

It's so different from a command line, as it usually does what I mean and doesn't require the exact correct character sequence to function. It's a conversational interface so my subconscious actions match that mindset

Suggestion: Add yaml type provider to F# data family? ยท Issue #1645 ยท fsprojects/FSharp.Data Probably needs few revisions for modern dotnet and dependant packages? https://fsprojects.github.io/FSharp.Configuration/YamlConfigProvider.html

F# community: "Suggestion: Add yaml type provider to F# data family?" (that's all they write)

Me: "/repo-assist Implement a YamlProvider"

Result within an hour: New type provider with testing, CI passing

I looked into this granny nomination claim and Something went wrong and an AI response wasn't generated.

However Google did find this post so it must be true.

btw for trans women to offer this kind of practical warning and sympathy is a serious mitzvah and we cis women really owe it to them (and to ourselves!) to step up our solidarity in kind

Yeah I need to go see if it's safe to update

Perhaps civilisation is the replacement of workers.

26.02.2026 01:10 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

There are machines doing things that workers used to do, and there are workers doing things that were impossible, even unimaginable.

This has been continuously happening for as long as we've been designing new tools.

And yet people still think replacing workers will collapse civilisation.

Now I've heard there was some icebox loot
That you had saved, but I ate the fruit
But you don't really care for breakfast, do ya?
The plums were sweet, so tasty cold
I'm writing this so you've been told:
Delicious were your Prunus Domestica

So much of the anti-AI crowd nowadays is using years-old trivial research to relitigate the semantics of the tech to make some sort of vague point about personhood or the soul, but even for *that* framing, it's all just incurious bland weaksauce bullshit. Utterly uninspired. I demand better critics.

Not many people know this, but every actual programmer is a close relative of the one true scotsman.

I forget what Gell Mann Amnesia is but generally I'm pretty good at remembering things and have no reason to doubt my memory.

Let me tell you, you haven't lived until you've litigated against a pro se plaintiff who refuses to get a lawyer and only corresponds via overlong chatGPT-drafted missives which often include devastating admissions.

This looks shopped - I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
