I’m not “addicted” to Twitter, it’s just way too fun to be on and it overrides literally anything else in terms of personal utility, it’s entirely rational of me to have an 8-hour screen time

A *lot* of FOSS projects have a strict "no AI contributions" rule while the maintainers use LLMs and the actual unspoken policy is just "clean it up enough that it doesn't look like obvious slop" – at Bellevue, NE
It’s pretty trivial for any vibe-coded project to just claim no AI was used, right? The anti-AI crowd wouldn’t be able to tell.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to cheating on his wife after revealing he had an affair with Alice Huang, an executive now at the centre of a suspected Chinese spying case. US intelligence officials suspect Alice Huang of working for China’s Ministry of State Security to gather information about Nvidia. The company’s board has launched an independent investigation. Huang apologised to his wife, children and employees, saying: “I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.” “I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused.”

The easiest way to make power users mad is to reduce density in the UI they have been using for the past decades. It's not rocket science - don't add all that useless padding everywhere. IT pros don't stand in awe at the beauty of the Windows registry, they need to get stuff done
Here's your first look at Microsoft's new WinUI 3 Registry Editor, but it's a developer sample preview, so it may not ship on Windows 11 anytime soon. Windows Latest found the app inside Microsoft's open-source Reactor repository, and I built it myself on Windows 11. It keeps the familiar two-pane layout but replaces the cramped Windows 95-era interface with native WinUI 3 controls, a dark-mode-ready design, and smoother animations. It can read, create, rename, and delete registry keys, edit values, and search the registry. It even uses Mica, with no Electron or WebView2 involved. There are still unfinished features, and Microsoft hasn't announced plans to replace regedit.exe. This is a developer sample made by Microsoft, not an official Windows 11 replacement.

it took a RAM shortage crisis for companies to start optimizing shit lmao
Windows 11 27H2 is expected to bring a full OS swap instead of incremental upgrade, featuring improved performance, brand new default wallpapers.

Es fascinante que se utilice el argumento de que llevamos 50 años advirtiendo de la insostenibilidad de las pensiones como prueba de que los economistas somos unos agoreros. Lo que se omite es que llevamos casi 50 años reformando el sistema precisamente para corregir sus desequilibrios. En 1985 se endurecieron los requisitos de cotización. En 1997 se amplió el periodo de cálculo y se avanzó en la separación de fuentes de financiación, hasta sacar el gasto sanitario de las cuentas de la Seguridad Social. En 2011 se elevó la edad de jubilación de 65 a 67 años. En 2013 se introdujeron mecanismos automáticos de ajuste. Y en 2021 y 2023 se apostó por aumentar las cotizaciones y las transferencias del Estado. Y eso de que las pensiones no restan recursos a los Presupuestos es directamente falso. Desde 2005, el Estado ha transferido unos 320.000 millones de euros, a precios de 2021, para financiar Clases Pasivas, complementos y otras partidas contributivas y extraordinarias. Y el déficit contributivo ya ronda el 4% del PIB. Que hayamos conseguido seguir pagando las pensiones gracias a sucesivas reformas y a una financiación pública creciente no demuestra que los desequilibrios fueran inventados. Demuestra exactamente lo contrario. Es como presumir de que un edificio nunca tuvo problemas estructurales después de llevar cuarenta años apuntalándolo.

Fair to say this wouldn’t exist if AI coding wasn’t a thing. No one would’ve taken the time to do it.

BREAKING: California voters just passed Prop 37. Buyers of newly built homes can now put down 3% instead of 20%. How: the state lends you the other 17% as a second mortgage, funded by up to $25 billion in bonds. On an $800,000 home that's $24,000 down instead of $160,000.

Can't stop thinking how much stuff Jev is doing to save AI engineers asses from stupid systems design patterns while the rest of the domain keeps pushing tool calling loops everywhere
Why don't we at TypeSafe call Jev a decision model? If you think of Jev's questions as making *decisions*, I believe you'll use it at the wrong layer of abstraction and your reliability will suffer. I wrote all about this on our site 🧵👇

La brecha de salarios entre España y Europa se ensancha y alcanza su peor nivel histórico, por @jgjorrin El salario medio (en euros corrientes, sin corregir por paridad de poder de compra) en España es ya un 15% inferior al de la eurozona (aunque acaba de superar al de Italia), la mayor diferencia de las dos últimas décadas. El mayor crecimiento del PIB y del empleo no se refleja en la retribución media que perciben los trabajadores, ante el cuasi estancamiento del PIB por ocupado. elconfidencial.com/economia/…

there are roughly five fundamental relationships that shape your life: 1. money, which is your relationship with resources. 2. time, which is your relationship with attention & priorities. 3. health, which is your relationship with your body & mind. 4. people, which is your relationship with other humans, mediated through communication. 5. knowledge, which is your relationship with the world & your understanding of it. so of course the labs will build in these territories & if you thought otherwise or had any doubts you do not understand product & product strategy at all.

I can confidently say that humans were not very good at writing secure infrastructure. The endstate will be hypersecure infrastructure and software for all, but we're going to go through some turbulence before we reach that.

Since August, a team within METR has worked with internal Anthropic information to assess whether AI itself is accelerating AI development. We are now publishing a report summarizing the results of this risk assessment.

Some bugs almost explain themselves. Every `/admin/**` endpoint relied on a single check: if (event.url.pathname.startsWith("/admin/")) -> requireAdminSecret() Bypass this string comparison, and the entire administrative API became exposed.

The new Discord client using less RAM is just part of the story. Clicking around feels instant, I can't go back. Check out the boot time.
We've been early adopters of Rust since 2018 and a lot of our infra, voice tech, and even some of the current client is already Rust, the holy grail was getting the whole client there. That means Electron goes away, and so does React Native, mobile keeps native UI but shares app code with desktop via Rust. We hope to get it into testing with users soon™. (And it's not Tauri, it's GPUI, so good guess everyone.) Alright, back to staring at the WoW Forever login screen.
