Everyone’s saying that it looks like Codex but TBH it just looks like all the AI chat websites on the side and some frequent actions on the top.

We had autorun.inf in the past installing automatically from any random USB drive[1]. The fun days where you always feared contracting malware if you so happened to plug a random USB drive in :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/

I wonder if there's a design decision documented somewhere that makes the existing graph databases like Neo4j, etc. not good enough for Youtrack's use case.

Great article. What does the (organizational) process look like to convert one of these specs to a processor product, does it go through a committee like the C++ standards?

The article conflates general use of LLMs with LLMs for programming and is a worse article for this reason. As an example, I already heavily leverage LLMs to ask questions about unknown codebases and concepts, and even some debugging, for w

Such a utopian future is unlikely to materialize however. The salary that one gets paid is backed by the generated (and perceived) value of the work they did, and if people do not have anything to offer in form of labor, then it will create

So much this, the other day I wanted to set up a project running in K8s similar to our other modules at work, and it he thing ended up writing unit tests for a hello world implementation.

Arguably, the loss of specialized knowledge is what is holding countries like the US back in domains such as shipbuilding[1], rare-earth refining, and semiconductors. Losing that knowledge puts the losing community in a bad position, and th

Shellcheck has good heuristics, like making mistakes with for and subshell variables. I’ve never found its heuristics to be off-base, and when it can’t genuinely tell because of some context that is only known to you, you can opt out via #

Mostly like enforcement is slow and I’m not even sure if someone has sent in a complaint.

My last job was like this, a full round of QAs manually testing, along with writing up a grandiose release document, stakeholder approvals, and whatnot, for something that should just take two days of development work, and an insistence on

The funny thing is at my current employer, they mentioned that "coding is increasingly becoming a solved problem" and in the same breath, mentioned that one project was too hard for anyone to do so they're not doing it and wo

There could just also be a bug where the output tokens of session 1 were shared with session 2, due to a race condition or similar.

Cool project, I've been meaning to do this myself at work for a codebase, and it's nice to see that this exists now. Does the project you simply compute embeddings for every function unit and cluster them, or do we also mean-pool

That could easily change if the frontier labs would release their (N-1)th model or (N-2)th model as open weights. Unfortunately, they won't.

The only way this ends well is that we end up with extreme regulations in all places to enforce ownership, from software (because of insecure code due to excessive vibe coding) to children's books (because we end up teaching them crap)

I don't think there has ever been an appetite amongst corporations to improve the quality of their products if they can easily get away with reducing costs.

I had only briefly heard about him in the past, but it's sad to hear he passed away. Revisiting some of his old writings, I see he was deeply a humanist, and I love that. I especially liked https://om.co/2026/06&#x

The truth of the matter is that any time that has been saved in writing the code must be spent on ensuring proper system design, reviewing the code, and most importantly of all, QA, which is an uncomfortable discussion for AI techbros who a
