Whichever it is, I stopped reading regardless

I think it would work well as a multi-emoji compiler too. Some phrases pair well with N emojis, and you’d be able to produce arbitrarily many emojis per phrase


The price, hardware, and market was not there for the Vision Pro. There was no reason to buy a VR headset that couldn’t play games.

This smells like a tool a more broadly capable LLM would take advantage of extremely well.

Very cool. LLMs have been borderline unusable as functions for the longest time, very excited for this direction.

Yes, there is no magic sauce here that makes stochastic output binary if that’s what people are looking for.

Right and so maybe we should stop saying "can't hallucinate" when it can by definition.

It’s not what people are looking for, but what they wrongly claim.

Who doesn’t have soft wrapping enabled in 2026? Line breaks are irrelevant

Who makes assumptions about how others do things in 2026? Line breaks are apparently relevant, review agents complain about them, soft breaks are super annoying for vim motion users, opinions are still like ani

If line breaks really were irrelevant, the author wouldn't have felt the need to give a tip all around optimising line breaks.

Personally, I would have hoped by 2026 we had better IDE's and tools for managing code in text files such that developers with different preferences for a number of characters in a column or things like how you display comments can be accommodated. Yet still teams end up arguing about what standard to use.


Soft like breaks in a code editor? That's insane

And so the war began.

This is a bit like vim vs Emacs - everyone should be able to use their favorite setup, and the formatting should not get in the way of the engineer's preferences.


I, in fact, do not have wrapping enabled in my IDE....

You never wrote Java I see

Java is why I don't have line wrapping enabled. It makes code unreadable when everything needs to be wrapped.

Humans singular often intelligent, humans as a collection of many, very often extremely unintelligent and primal.

I like to call this "The stupidity of the Mob"

This could be why they’re going so hard on hacking everyone and everything. You make it clear AI is a threat, get it locked down, and then have the capital to push through the lockdown while others are stuck.

Same thoughts. Also, some of the recent coverage around AI hacks also feels unusually amplified and repetitive.

and especially how the coverage seems to be drip fed, one case right after the previous one dies down, then this orchestrated "we need to pace" stand by all the big labs

it's really almost perfect, prep the media scene by causing these hacking incidents, generate a bunch of fuss with it, then release an essay saying why regulation is needed to pace development right after

oh and let's not forget the "its gonna kill us all" essay on twitter on top of everything.

something about this just feels very artificial


It's "flood the zone"[0] as commercial strategy. Does your business look bad? Spam the media with unavoidable press releases, deny competitors and detractors the spotlight by making grand accusations that override their authority. Bonus points if you can channel the zeitgeist by repeating what people already say ("we hate AI!") in a louder tone ("AI will kill us all!").

It worked like clockwork for politics, so I can see why this administration would decant the strategy for economic bluffs too.

“My AI broke out of my vibe coded jail!”

The Houthis missile story coming out now also feels like convenient fuel for the fire.

Dude that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

They’ve been Astro turfing the shit out of the entire web.

Filth. Absolute filth.
