Linus Torvalds to the anti-AI crowd: stop using compilers if you want to prove theyâre REAL programmers. LOL.
âyou had better not use an editor to write that commit message either.
The kind of expectations *I* have is that people do their best and I expect people to understand what they are doing.
But that understanding has very little to do with what tools they use.
And quite honestly, in my experience, the people I respect and call intelligent are not the ones that shy away from using new and interesting tools.â
At long last we have finally created the remote control war pretending to be a video game from Orson Scott Cardâs classic âDonât Create The Remote Control War Pretending To Be A Video Gameâ
Ukrainian-developed FPV drone simulator âRemote Reaper: FPV Droneâ has officially left Early Access, with version 1.0 now available on Steam.
Developed in collaboration with military pilots, the simulator focuses on combat FPV drone operations and introduces several features in its full release, including armored vehicles with modeled vulnerable zones, electronic warfare effects that can disrupt video feeds and control signals during the final stage of an attack, and a customizable drone editor.
Version 1.0 also adds configurable weather conditions, custom mission editing, real-time flights with other pilots and a racing mode.
Players can use FPV hardware or a gamepad with realistic flight physics, or opt for simplified controls using a keyboard and mouse.

"The new (sexual) ethic requires upholding the dignity and respect of the human being involved."
oh my god, just get married
A senior at Harvard observes âa narrative emerging among young people that more than just consent is required to make a sex act ethical.â
âIn the Cornell Daily Sun, a student says fraternities function as âa market, where women are seen as commodities.ââ
âA Dartmouth contributor lambasts frat culture where brothers âhumiliate and degradeâ and that teaches âmen to treat women and each other like subhuman objects.ââ
âThe emerging picture is of a sexual ethic that cannot be satisfied simply by one liberal-autonomous agent assenting to the action of another. The new ethic requires upholding the dignity and respect of the human being involved. Respecting women is incompatible with drug-fueled orgies where the âshopâ is âopen,â regardless of how consensual said orgy may or may not be.â

âIsnât it a coincidence how weâve always been the good guys in every war?â
âWhat? No one thinks that.â
âSure they do. Normies refuse to believe we ever couldâve been on the wrong side of a war.â
âYea thatâs totally not true. Like, over half the country thinks we were the bad guys in Vietnam, to say nothing of the Indian Wars on the frontier. And people talk about how unnecessary WWI was, and how much we shouldâve stayed out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Iran. And nobody thinks, like, the War of 1812 was some righteous crusade.â
âWell, yea, but you know, the big wars, America always has to be the good guy. We donât want to think about what if we were wrong.â
âSounds like you have a specific war in mind.â
âNo not really.â
âCause thereâs only like three wars in American history which are outright valorized. You must be talking about one of them.â
âNot necessarily.â
âI see.â
âYea.â
âSo are you doing anything later o

Hypothesis. You didn't know how to write unit tests (not at module boundaries, not in deep, narrow modules, and not by testing implementation details via mocks) or how to write better developer tests.
Because of poor training data, you have to show AI how to do TDD.
We deleted 800k lines of unit tests from the @sazabi monorepo earlier this week.
Three hypotheses:
1- Unit tests "lock-in" slop code by making it hard to change or remove
2- Unit tests slow down dev cycles by making your agent do more work locally and by increasing CI times
3- Unit tests waste money by making your agent generate more tokens and by adding useless CI runs
Will report back soon with the results!

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Just as a reminder because itâs easy to get lost in the rhetoric nowadays. The Hugging Face attack required approximately seven hundred parallel agents running for multiple days each running at least 2-3 trillion parameter unreleased closed models to execute, and even then it was stopped.
Nobody without a data center could have executed it, the token costs alone to execute it would have been safely in the hundreds of thousands of dollars (or tens of millions of dollars to buy and deploy the hardware), and you would have needed access to the strongest secret model in the world hidden in a secret bunker, and it still was detected and stopped for infinitely less cost.
This was not an example of a model being so powerful that it poses an existential risk. This was a lab accidentally throwing an insane amount of tokens at a semi hardened target over multiple days with their most dangerous model and still getting stopped anyway.

[Fourth-Wall Break]
Because many have been asking the l about how Iâll be covering September 11, Iâve put together a Frequently Asked Questions list. Iâm pinning it until that day. Please refer to this for your questions and feel free to ask more.
Q: How many posts do you have planned for the event?
At present, about 410, or one every three minutes for the entire day, though there will be an average of two posts a minute between 8:46 and 10:30. It is my earnest hope that the account doesnât get suspended for spamming at the very beginning. I hope someone from X is reading this.
Q: Is the posting going to be in real-time?
Yes. I worked very hard to learn the exact minute and if possible, the precise second that events occurred on 9/11, and I will post at those exact moments. It will be a completely real-time retelling of the day.
Q: Do you/Will you schedule posts?
No. Automation is impersonal and unnatural. On these accounts Iâve always manually written the posts as Iâm posting them, and 9/11 is no exception to the rule.
Q: Are you posting alone, or do you have a team?
All alone. Have been doing this alone for years. Itâs a lot of effort.
Q: Will you be showing sensitive content?
No. I had the option to and I decided against it. Graphic photos and video exist, but it would be disrespectful to the victims to show it. Youâre welcome to look it up for yourself.
Q: How did you do your research?
I watched 240 hours of video footage, from news reporting to on-the-ground stringers to eyewitness testimony to academic documentas, with the intent to form the most accurate-possible timeline of the event. I also had people professionally associated with and familiar with the event provide their own research, which was helpful. I did my very best to corroborate stories for accuracy and gather every possible detail of the day, and I hope that my work was adequate.
Q: Will you be including any conspiracy theories?
I donât entertain the conspiracy theories. From my research, I have developed what I believe is the most accurate picture of what happened, and itâs straightforward and logical. There was no conspiracy related to the September 11 attacks. Those who seriously entertain conspiracy theories in the comments will be blocked.
Q: Why do this much? Do you have a personal connection to 9/11?
None. I was too young to remember it. Iâm doing this because this is what Iâve done on these live history accounts since 2018.Â
Q: Was this the whole point of the account?
No. I started this account in â1997â (2022) with the intent to report world news, and thatâs what Iâve done for nearly five years. It was not the intent of the account, or I wouldâve done thousands of hours of research and posted tens of thousands of unrelated stories just to set up one day.
Q: But it seems like all your posts are 9/11 foreshadowing lately.
Fewer than 1 in 10 of my posts has had any relation to 9/11. Iâm insulted when people insinuate that âthe account only posts about 9/11.â Itâs a gross exaggeration.Â
Q: Will the account continue afterwards?
Yes, indefinitely. Iâm excited to cover the 2000s and the 2010s. I hope that you all stick around for it.
Q: Wonât you make loads of money off this, a tragedy?
Probably not. Last month, X decided to permanently suspend its creator monetization program and replace it with another program. I have not yet applied for the new program, and 9/11 will not be monetized. I am doing this as a passion project and because I love history and have been live-posting history for eight years - long before I was ever paid to do so.
If I do end up being monetized for this day, Iâve had ethical qualms. Earlier this year I decided to donate all the money I made off my posts on September 11, 2026. If I make any money off this, I will do that and post receipts. I encourage you also to donate to the charity of your choice. This was a tragic event and funds deserve to go to the victims of the tragedy and rememberance of it.

Uncle bob doesnât read code.

This is the way to code now. Testing, curating & verifying is the most important part
Youâre not behind an old boomer in adopting ai right?
Replying to @ori_pomerantz
Iâm significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60s. My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. Thatâs the only way I can take advantage of their productivity. What I do instead is to surround the agents with extreme constraints. Unit tests, gherkin tests, QA procedures, quality metrics, mutation testing, test coverage, and a plethora of others. In the end, I have very high confidence in the code they produce because theyâve had to run the gauntlet of all of my constraints and tests.
