I have a complex project that I am working on, in 48h GPT-6.1 Sol managed to do 0 commits, Opus 5.5 did 41. That's the difference, @OpenAI models are currently useless for anything non trivial.

A nation’s progress is also measured by how it welcomes all people with disabilities and particular needs. Their lives are not a burden on society. They are a blessing, because they can help us to remember the foundation of the dignity of every human being and what is truly important in life. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina
The gap is real and astounding
Zuckerberg called his own AI live on camera.
It picked up and said: "Hey Mark... just on it, boss."
Joanna Stern jumped in and asked if it was subscribed to her YouTube channel. It checked. "Nope."
The demo is theater. The AI acting like a subordinate, fielding a live unscripted question, checking real account data in real time — that part is not.
What this actually reveals: Meta has built an AI that can operate as a persistent personal agent. One that knows who's calling, responds to social context, and pulls live external data without being scripted.
The "boss" framing wasn't an accident. That's a product positioning choice. Meta wants this to feel like staff, not software.
The gap between what demos show and what ships is real. But Zuckerberg wouldn't do this live if the foundation wasn't solid.

The national debt now costs $362,000 per taxpayer. The way to address this crisis is with the Six Penny Plan. Make even, across-the-board cuts, and we will balance the budget in 5 years. It’s that simple.

Take the PDF of all your healthcare benefits contracts, including your broker or consultant, put it in your LLM and prompt each one with
"Where are they fucking me over and what can I do about it "
Take the output. Put the same pdfs into another frontier LLM, take the output from the first, and prompt
" What did this analysis get right and wrong and what would you change "
I do this across Claude,chatgpt, Gemini and grokbot. Till they mostly agree.
They are better than your broker or consultant and can save you money and make sure the contracts are fair.
Let us know what happens

@GergelyOrosz is right. From my pov there are two reasons to write your own stuff, even if it's a struggle. First, it's fitness training for your brain. If you struggle to write, your brain is flabby. Having a fit brain will be a key differentiator in the new era. And second, we would all rather read your "bad" writing than polished AI writing. Trust me on this one. We can spot even one sentence of AI writing and it stinks. Your bad writing is fine. Just do more of it, every day, to get in shape and stay in shape.
Made the previously paid article "Becoming a better writer" free.
I see too many devs writing low quality slop with AI. Hopefully this helps those of you who want to share more of your own experiences, using your own words - we need more of these!

More CSS off the main thread!
I just implemented parallel scroll-driven animations, so they can update even while the main thread is busy! 🤓
Left: @ladybirdbrowser
Right: Chrome (but every other browser looks the same)
Guys, just fork @elmlang, replace the vdom with Solid.js, add state chart support, add strong url support, ship it all to browser so users can prompt their own robust grease monkey scripts

The age of agents is going to be amazing for most programmers, but it'll be hard times for the cantankerous ones.
Specialized knowledge and rare skills will no longer offer immunity for those who are a pain to work with.
Best learn some basic people skills.

I love how most of the animals stop running and look back at their saviors, its like an unspoken "Thank you, I will remember you."

You can literally see the exact moment that this kid became a libertarian. 😂

The footage is a staged comedy skit, not genuine unscripted video. Commenters identify the participants as recurring actors in similar content.

We should tether to average weather patterns, or at least actual sunlight. Events and schedules can flex around the weather, just gotta write the code!
And it's a lot lot lot of code folks!!
It is comically dark outside at 7am. Now imagine its 830am and its pitch black
That is what Trump, the Florida mafia, and boomer degenerate golfing retirees want for the hard working people of this country with permanent DST

The new normal:
Dev: I built a new multi-writer distributed-queue transactional zero-proof foo system.
Me: How does it work?
Dev: I don't know yet

I stole this discipline trick from the military.
My kids used to ignore me until I repeated myself 5 times.
Now they respond the first time. Every time.
Here's what changed:
I give the instruction once. Then I count to 3 in my head.
If they haven't moved by 3, immediate consequence. No warning. No negotiation.
They learned: Dad's words mean something.
Consistency beats volume.
