No individual in the organization will ever have an accurate mental model about how the entire system works. To put it simply: It’s the stuff we don’t know that bites us. There’s always stuff we don’t know.
I think I have to disagree with this post and call it mostly wishful thinking. I haven’t seen that much adoption of vibecoding in Rust. Most of the data points I’m looking at point towards Go being the clear leader here with its low expressiveness, quick compilation and rather basic type system.
The goal is not to embed Django inside another system, but to demonstrate that Django ORM can already act as a lightweight, standalone data access layer.
Some interesting stats from Comma about what goes into building and operating a data center of your own. A good data point to start thinking about when it may make sense to do something like this.
It’s obvious that international platforms will need to support international writing. The world is a big place and ASCII hasn’t been enough for a while now.
It sounds so simple but the amount of work and trade-offs involved in getting to a single list of priorities is where a lot of the difficult work lives.
One of my favorite episodes of Past Present Future with Mary Beard where she compares the unaccountable power of emperors of the past with today’s tech oligarchs.
When the person opening the PR gets credit for shipping and the reviewer bears the consequences of reviewing a bad merge, you have a structural problem no tool can solve.
We’ll have so many of these AI exploits coming out that there are probably exploit groups specializing on them. It’ll be a very dependable stream of revenue for them.
Picking between Rust and Python, the code is by now not even that relevant anymore but stuff like easy to distribute and instant startup time is very hard to argue against.
Reducing kids’ exposure to the internet and social media is something that’s very tempting for governments who want to control and surveil everything that happens online.
Automatic binary analysis using AI is not nearly good enough yet to be usable but it is improving and increasing the accessibility of doing this kind of analysis.
Then he said, “You know what the difference is between you and me? I know I’m a mercenary. You thought you were an artist. We’re both guys who type for money.”
if your best idea for what AI can do in the workspace is “replace a hundred human beings with a server rack doing the same thing”, you’ve got no business calling yourself a techno-optimist
I kept hearing so many good things about Go that I decided to make the jump from Rust. I had Claude port my app1 and couldn’t be happier with the result.
Somebody has gone through the effort of creating a Github uptime page where the company itself can’t be bothered to. It’s bad but downtime is mostly concentrates in Actions and Copilot.
Microsoft, the company known for such amazing achievements as Teams, Github’s uptime, Copilot etc. has managed to add features to Notepad in such a way, they introduced a remote code execution vulnerability.
There was an effort to update the 12factor principles but reading this you can see how well the factors have held up over the 15 years they’ve been out there.
Not that many big notable set pieces this episode except for the opening. The play within a flashback within a cold open within a play is a strong story beat for Bolaire. Most of the detail we already knew except for one: How the masks and the play ended the Trickster Goddess.
Through a recommendation on Bluesky I came across the Ronzheimer podcast hosted by Paul Ronzheimer, the main journalist out of the Axel-Springer media house. Listening to him talk to German notables, it becomes clear that he’s not the sharpest knife in the block. There is no spark or wit in either of the two episodes I listened to. His questions are superficial and unoriginal. I don’t understand why anybody would listen to this.
I really don’t know why I write Go (a bit too much of a purist) because as described here it really is quite good, enjoyable and extremely LLM compatible.
A software library that has no code but is generated ad hoc by LLM is such a brilliant provocations and an end run to the natural conclusion of these developments.
Here’s a case for the people in Germany claiming that Datenschutz is never used to limit societal progress and that it doesn’t have a vast and debilitating chilling effect.
France leads the way enforcing the real laws that we have against abuse against the American platforms. Let’s push for many more governments to follow suit.
Europe has lots of significant industries and capabilities. There is nothing stopping us from having a competitive local cloud offering (except of course the lack of political will).
Germany desperately needs to be investing in its future, it needs equipment of all kinds. It needs infrastructure and it also needs to invest in human capital.
Like the NYT has walked back its reporting and continuously grovels for its regime, you can see the exact same behavior of uncritical non-journalism in mainstream outlets over here.
The CDU wants to abolish the right to work part-time in Germany. Most people don’t know that anybody here can ask to work part-time and if the company does not have a good reason to refuse it, they can’t.
