bloody hell. Canadians, have you heard about this bill? Would require service providers like Signal to cripple their privacy promises. Now they're trying to push it through this week, months ahead of schedule: mgeist.substack.com/p/government-m…

@_LapsisBeeftech @RichDecibels I'm all for getting more vulnerable, but this is the wrong kind of vulnerability.

@richiemcilroy Love this. Lindy technologies just doing boring and useful things. (FTR I'd hate to work with WordPress again, but jQuery I'd welcome back with open arms)

@asaio87 I think the slowness that comes from having to type things out and review-as-you-type is actually a formative process, and I'd hate to throw that away. So I don't treat coding as typing. I treat typing as meditation.

@asaio87 I hearted this, but I also have a concern not addressed here: taste is developed in the slow empty spaces -- the pauses as you try to figure out what to type, the boring refactors that cause you to glance at every single freaking function you wrote over the last five years.

@speakerjohnash @lifesmyth sounds like you're right that 'Mythos' is aptly named -- the real product is the story Anthropic is weaving around it 😏 Had to read it three times to get what you're saying -- very interesting. Didn't know about their constitutional rails before.

@therealdanvega @designx_ke You're describing my experience with vibe coding. If coding in the 2020s and beyond is babysitting a bunch of idiots that know everything, that's why I'm thinking about production pottery. Goat farming or B&B hosting is also appealing to me right now :D

@lifesmyth @speakerjohnash which means a lot coming from John, because historically he's been a strong advocate for using LLM tools for things they're good at. (Not meaning to talk about you like you're not in the room @speakerjohnash ; you're still welcome to participate :) )

definitely rings true at the personal level. (That said, I find it incredibly useful for building small, scoped, one-off personal tools.)

I think AI coding hype follows roughly four stages: 1. Amazement You try it and can’t believe how much code it generates from a few prompts. 2. Expansion You start more and more projects because shipping suddenly feels cheap and fast. This is also the phase where people

@egesea009 @hayashimon1 This is a beautiful demo, but it's actually a rather well-explored problem space of physics and math, so it was probably quite easy for Claude to dip into its latent space and find the right algorithms.

@JBerkeleyClarke @sankimoski @unytco @artbrock @zippy314 @NathanLenae Job titles change. It happens in organisations. Nathan is more in comms now, and he and I are both picking up informal community support roles on the side. To your other points, I'm not sure where they're coming from? They seem like dot-connecting with insufficient bg details.
