@mandubian You’re right it’s $4000, I don’t know why I said $2000. Would have bought a couple of them otherwise :]

Received a Nvidia DGX Spark at work, and all I feel is regret for not grabbing one when they were only $2,000 a piece.

@loicknuchel I would agree until I got introduced to pi-calculus. functions are just not good enough of an abstraction to express dynamic network topologies, where the interconnections between components can change over time. That matters a lot in distributed systems.

What’s disappointing is that AI programming hasn’t improved abstraction or code reasoning. We’ve forfeited both and now focus on output. I want programming to feel like Satisfactory/Factorio: small blocks combining into something greater, without needing to know how each works.

@mandubian There's a just codebase size where you just can't keep up with the sheer amount of code those things generate. You have to give up something unfortunately.

@rickasaurus I don’t disagree with the premise but the Japaneses have shown good etiquette even when nothing was enforced by law. e. g. Cleaning their seats after their soccer team played.

@rickasaurus What do you mean by British though? When I used to live in London, there were a dozen of distinct accents easy.

Three years ago he was designing data intensive applications, today he is homeless due to AI. When will the government wake up?

@stephaneledorze maybe but I also experience drifts on non technical assignment. The truth is you have no guarantee that the agent will follow instructions, as simple as they can be.

I’m excited about frontier LLMs, but reliability is still a major problem. GPT-5.6 Sol xhigh failed a trivial task by ignoring a clear instruction in my Rust skill: use snapshot tests, never asserts. I caught it because I reviewed the code. So much for "don’t look at the code"

@jf_flyn No but it's not a language related issue. In my harness, I also demand to only write conventional commits, it works, but sometimes it doesn't and it's not clear why.

As I keep saying, the French are the only nation who have the right to be properly Anglophobic, and vice versa. We have come through so much together.

@mandubian You must be new to how US sport is broadcasted on TV. US football and Hockey are basically websites in the early 2000’s. Inundated with ads. When there aren’t any ads, the freaking commentators read some more ads for you as well.

@runT1ME Even if I didn’t have kids I would still live in suburbs anyway. They all think we are still living like in the 70’s. The Suburbs life changed so much.

I am excited to announce that we are officially writing a new version of Postgres. In Rust - and creating the LLVM of databases in the process. In the span of a year, we have rewritten SQLite. Keeping the compatibility, increasing its feature set. MVCC, Types, (Live) Materialized Views, among other things. In the process of doing that, we have realized: At the end of the day, what makes SQLite special is that it compiles SQL to a database-specific bytecode. So why can't we compile *Postgres* to the same bytecode? Turns out we can. I ran an experiment called pgmicro as a way to prove this hypothesis, and it works very well. It is time to make this official, and put the weight of Turso behind it. We shall give the world a modern take on Postgres. Wire compatible, but built on a new architecture. We have already heard of others wanting to extend this. MySQL? Redis? the sky is the limit. What can we do if we do for databases what LLVM did for compilers? To prove how powerful the SQLite bytecode is, we are actually running DOOM compiled to the unmodified SQLite instruction set. And because Turso runs natively in the browser, you can play the game in your browser. With the database executing it. Read the full story below! 👇

With all due respect, this is a very bad take. That’s fine when working on personal projects but very unprofessional otherwise.

the problem with "spec driven development" is that most software can't be spec'd up front software is a creative act, where you figure out what you're building as you build it you need to get your hands dirty in the details, and react to incremental versions it's telling that
