berNOULli probability that sounds like bool. we once called it a bool, but that wasn't right because people should be peeking at the probability and not just true/false

here's my AI cybersecurity apocalypse white pill.
I've been fixing bugs in leftover human code non-stop for over a year now. literally cleaning up years of human slop.
at the same time, i've been building fully AI-written complex software which I regularly review with AI the same way that I'm reviewing the human code.
the difference is like day and night. good models don't just find the bugs, they also produce far fewer bugs.
the difference between a big project written exclusively by modern frontier models and one written by a dozen engineers is just incredible.
all those little obscure mistakes that humans overlook are mostly absent. if you take care of your project, the code quality can be great and there's almost no accumulation of weird edge cases that sneak in inevitably over the course of multiple years of working on a code base with a team of humans.
makes me very optimistic about the future.

Thank god we can find and intercept lost hikers as they mistakenly run away from rescue in dense forest!
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

Philomena: Some people have been writing PHP for over 20 years. Is that because it's particularly difficult to finish?
Expert: No, software is constantly evolving.
Philomena: So they've been writing the same website for 20 years?
Expert: No, different projects.
Philomena: Have they tried finishing one before starting another?
Expert: That's not how software development works.
Philomena: My mate Paul spent 20 years building a shed. Turned out he was just an alcoholic.
Expert: Right.
Philomena: Is PHP like that?

NO PUEDE SER 😭
Han conseguido transformar Pokémon Rojo Fuego para que los combates sean EN TIEMPO REAL.
Nada de esperar turnos: ahora los Pokémon se mueven y atacan directamente por el mapa, como si fuese un juego completamente distinto.
Imaginaos poder jugar toda la aventura de Kanto así.
ESTO ES UNA AUTÉNTICA BARBARIDAD.

OpenCode is the leading open-source alternative to Claude Code. Model-agnostic, free core, supports 75+ providers plus local models. Huge adoption and stars have pressured Anthropic’s closed ecosystem hard enough that they blocked third-party OAuth for subscriptions. Real competitive thorn.
