Type of guy who believes superintelligent nanoswarms are a year away but it’ll take China 15 years to build an EUV machine

Lord grant me the confidence to post shit like this during a 12 hour global outage.

“Nothing can stop AI, just get used to it” and “The industry that makes this technology will completely collapse if the wrong guy has an affair” seem like somewhat contradictory ideas

So it seems like a lot of the vulnerabilities found by Mythos, were not real vulnerabilities?

Lmao one Opus 5.5 prompt to figure out that its an OpenCode fork, and they got SOTA on terminal bench by hard coding in hints. No end to the larp
We achieved SOTA on Terminal Bench 2.1 using a DeepSeek v4.1 Flash model. 92.2% at $0.08 cost per task. Previously Opus 5.5 was the leader at 87.6% at $0.50 cost per task (vals.ai/benchmarks/terminal-…). Now the obvious question is how did we do it? How can you possibly improve a Flash model to beat frontier models like Opus, Fable, and Astra? The truth is, we over-obsess about models when they are only half of the equation. The other half is the code that wraps around the model. In fact all of the most revolutionary products (Instinct, Muse, Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) are all just harnesses optimizations. Rather than try to build a new model or fine-tune, we built a harness that would make: Flash Models —> Frontier Results Frontier Models —> Beyond Frontier Results Did I mention it’s also ~6x faster than Claude Code? And we’re now live. Go Check it out! Trymidas.io

I understand your concerns — but you're clearly overreacting. After his sauna session, DHH™ will just dump 6-7 billion more tokens to Omarchy™ and all your configurations will magically come back.
Omarchy folks. Less slop, more code reviews, please. v3 -> v4 migration just deleted my network setup without warning. SSH gone, tailscale gone. And migration never finished bc of a browser bug. That's not called a migration

I can’t believe two years of “our tech is going to make you unemployed forever, be used to surveil you at all times, and possibly kill off humanity” didn’t endear people to it
moving away from the bay area for a short while has been helpful for understanding how non-tech people feel about AI as of now, turns out they really really really don't like it e.g., making small talk on halloween, was accused of being "evil" for working on AI tools

This is a good filter for people who I don’t want to work with. Please understand how computers work. This isn’t even about understanding Docker. Any software person should know how the layers work at a high level and this is a VERYYYYY high level.
A surprising amount of people don't know that Docker on macOS is actually a VM

You are surprised that years of tech bros talking about the permanent underclass didn’t lead to the warm fuzzies?

man, who should i trust? a bunch of nerds who made linux run on apple silicon, reverse engineering that pesky gpu isa among a gazillion other things, all pre-ai. or the guy who thinks having your agent rewrite shitty rust he never looked at in x86_64 is excellence?

I've completely changed my opinion on /greploop and having my agent "fix until CI is green" It's one of the biggest slop amplifiers possible I had Astra loop on a PR stack overnight assuming it would fix everything, and I'd wake up to PRs that were ready to merge in Instead, I woke up to 20,000 lines of code that were a series of edge case -> patch -> new edge case -> patch -> red CI -> patch -> over and over again The code was disgusting. I had to close all the PRs and start over It just feels like when there's no human in the loop, the agent is incapable of looking at the big picture architecture, and gets so reactionary to every finding - even more so when you have multiple PR bots being triggered in parallel Not to say that PR bots are useless, I actually think they're great. But I've found that I need to be in the loop every time they're triggered to have final say on what the next steps are Is this just me?

There is a some kind of misunderstanding here. You might think that the main product of the Omarchy devs is the Omarchy linux distribution while in reality their main product is a continuous twitter drama.

AI perverts who complain about license changes are so funny to me "the code I was abusing got taken away :c" I thought AI could just write you new code? Better code even? Or is there some part of code writing that AI cannot replicate?

⚠️⚠️ All LNbits users should stop their LNbits servers IMMEDIATELY. ⚠️⚠️ Please forward this announcement. Following a wave of attacks, we have a number of security patches to push. Until then, it's better to err on the side of caution. 🙏 Updates to follow soon.

This is why "proactive" agents will always result in you being embarrassed The models can be smart and do stupid things, the two are not mutually exclusive
I told my Dot to "handle everything for our new office move" and after several days of it still not finalized I realized he had been spamming everyone with every minor update and 100s of questions trying to figure out movers insurance
