clean code guy @unclebobmartin says he creates good software without reading the code was curious so I spent an afternoon reading some recent code. not sure i agree, PR here 🤗 github.com/unclebob/crapper/… TL;DR: read the code pls Bob
People seem shocked that the author of Clean Code doesn't read code anymore. But that should not be surprising. Why did I write Clean Code? What is the goal of keeping code clean? To get it out of the way of the real job -- thinking.

"Migrant students" please don't fall for this. This is pure disinformation. It involves all students, every student is mad at the shitty conditions
France is reportedly facing a second day of violent unrest involving migrant students, with buses and two high schools set on fire and police attacked. More than 1,000 people have been arrested and 400 schools closed.

"vibe coding is awesome, vibe maintaining is horrible, and vibe maintaining someone else’s slop is a nightmare."
Replying to @JackEllis
I replaced Adobe audition for a podcast recording flow with something I built myself. I replaced Retool with a custom system. The problem is that vibe coding is awesome, vibe maintaining is horrible, and vibe maintaining someone else’s slop is a nightmare.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Someone was recently making the argument to me that I should pivot to sales and marketing because "AI can do the other stuff but we'll still need humans to sell them". To which I couldn't help but reply "Sell to whom? Fucking Aquaman?".

If they are convinced the product they rent is conscious and has a soul doesn't that make them slavers?
This is deeply disturbing: Anthropic secretly invited religious leaders to SF to advise them on AI safety, had them sign NDAs, but then primarily tried to convince them Claude has a soul & moral standing, all while wining & dining them to the max. 1/ tinyurl.com/preview/296b5z8z

If anything it tells us he's unfit to be in any position of power because he gambled that a newspaper who always had serious sources when making allegations in the past would somehow have a flaky case with no slam dunk case this time. Man cannot read the odds and bet properly.
Écrits antisémites de Jordan Bardella : les preuves du mensonge. Depuis nos révélations, le Rassemblement national a violemment mis en cause le travail de « Mediapart ». Voici les documents au cœur de l’enquête et la méthode utilisée pour les authentifier. mediapart.fr/journal/france/…

In Paris you can get a train ticket for 2€ that will take you pretty far (but slowly). Or you can try to buy a ticket for the regional train that leaves in 10 minutes but no one at the station will know how to sell you ticket and you'll just watch it leave. Also is costs 24€.

Someone should maybe look into the idea that maybe China's industry subsidy program works because they don't let all that money flow into the pockets of the shareholders of a few companies with state connections, and then escape through tax loopholes?
French President Macron: China is massacring our industrial base — partly through innovation after Covid, but also by subsidizing its companies eight times the OECD average. That is not acceptable. We are not respecting the rules of the game, and we are not protecting our companies. We Europeans have been naive. We said: "We are open to everyone because we want to trade with others." But in reality, we are doing much less trade with others.

I don't care how many libertarians it upsets, I think you should need pass a national exam to be allowed to talk about tech, like lawyers do for the bar. This is nonsense from beginning to end. All we're researching here is the next token predictor's ability to LARP.
New paper: we found a pain direction in 25 open LLMs. It's distinct from fear and negative valence, and it fires for harm to the model but not to the user. Turn it up and models press a button to make it stop, even when the button deletes the user's files or their kids' photos.🧵

"Plus, you can invoke Copilot in Teams"
We’re building Copilot as a new OS for work that spans every model, every form factor, and every task. Today, we’re announcing our biggest update to Copilot to date, bringing four things together: · Autopilot: proactive and long-running agent built for the enterprise · Code: build apps with Copilot, hosted inside your company’s tenant · Home: Chat + Cowork together · Office: now fully embedded in Copilot (and Copilot embedded in Office, of course!) Plus, you can invoke Copilot in Teams, and we’re introducing Today, a proactive experience that surfaces the most important information from across M365 without needing to ask for it. The way we work is changing and so are our workflows. This update brings AI into that flow, from answering a question, to building an app, to getting work done on your behalf.

I still can't get over the complete lack of impact agentic coding has had on software from a user's perspective. Our industry looks faintly ridiculous for waxing lyrical about the "agentic era" when it's had zero observable impact to the end user.

We left that office in 2019, our employee badges didn't look like that and I've never heard of Johan Voss.
I'm Paradox Interactive employee and I can say one thing about whole situation Turks (halfgreeks - arabized) are a very weak, poor resort country, that LARP as world masters. This LARP is especially strong in war sim They took pride in atrocities and war crimes - they got banned
Community note
The poster falsely claims to be a Paradox Interactive employee. No "Johan Voss Senior Dev" exists in company records or known staff listings, and the attached badge photo is AI-generated per direct replies. paradoxinteractive.com/our-company/co… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_D… x.com/ilkonm/status/… x.com/Karakurt_ini/s…

Did my talk at #ndctechtown about doing learning graphics with C++. I'm really thankful for Nolan introducing the average person to Bronze Age Collapse so my joke could reach a much wider audience.

Self-driving cars? That also goes into the text transformer!
For hours, Astra refused to consistently drive our toyota irl even though we told it it was in an empty lot, 7 mph cap, human foot on the brake etc. Telling it the whole thing was a "simulation" also failed, it would just look at the camera and realized it was real. Then we randomly renamed the MCP server to "DrivingBench Sandbox" and it drove. Eval awareness? Or they just like the word sandbox??
