React CHUNKS? 😱 Learn about some of the surprising history of Server Components in this finale of Bite Sized Server Components.

Apparently a lot of people on this website staunchly believe that the Earth's atmosphere is but a warm fuzzy coat protecting us from the frigid winter temperatures of outer space.
I just cannot even anymore.
I guess if it were a choice between not citing prior work at all, or citing them even without reading the work, the latter would be preferable...

The Supreme Court’s legitimacy depends on providing “Equal Justice Under Law,” as the courthouse says.
When the Supreme Court rules one way when it hurts Democrats and another way when it helps Republicans, it’s not doing law — it’s doing raw power politics.
Americans are rightly questioning why it deserves such power.
Your air-gapped servers are covered by a faraday cage, you think you're safe from key exfiltration? You fool.
Low-frequency magnetic fields pass right through Faraday cages.
Researchers were able to extract data off an air-gapped shielded computer by spawning fake work loads spiking CPU power and generating magnetic signals.
Good in theory. But having more room to talk about how good a game is, while the top two numbers are exponentially better/harder is precisely where score inflation occurs, which is what makes 7 start to feel like barely passing.
Too many people think this is like grade school where a 69 and below is a failing grade.
5 is average, 6 is fine/okay, 7 is good, 8 is great. Glad our scale is like IGNs because if a 7 was considered a BARELY passing score (a 70 or a D in school) and 0 to 6.5 meant a failing grade, that's way too much real estate on the scale to grade a bad game. I don't need that many levels to let you know how badly a game is failing.
I prefer to have more space on the scale to describe a game I genuinely recommend or enjoy.
You should bucket into as few of buckets as you can, where each bucket is categorically different.
E.g.
5: Must Play
4: Recommend playing
3: Consider playing
2: It's complicated
1: Don't recommend
0: Can't Play
Seeing a lot of "they're using older or non-agentic models."
That's... the point? Solving the problem with a compiler or interpreter in the loop isn't reasoning, it's bruteforcing.
So many people acting like this research is a personal attack on them. Don't we want better AI?
Last week: "AI is just going to generate machine code directly"
This week: "You can't expect AI to write Brainfuck!"
Brainfuck's abstract model is almost literally just a turing machine. Translating any program to it, as with any turing machine, is a mechanical process.
Claude has also seemingly reinvented llvm's GetElementPointer, which isn't really something that a standalone C compiler should need. Possibly more indicators of the training set being reproduced.
New Engineering blog: We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C compiler. Then we (mostly) walked away. Two weeks later, it worked on the Linux kernel.
Here's what it taught us about the future of autonomous software development.

It's worth pointing out that this "clean room, Rust std only" project somehow includes a copy of rustc's Apache-2.0 licensed fx_hash, which Claude has apparently relicensed under CC0.

Also: a recount wouldn't discover this, since all ballots are "valid". Instead, you have to audit the ballots themselves, ensuring the voters 1.) were actually alive at the time, and 2.) voted for who the ballot claimed.
This will be my only tweet about this, but: if I wanted to steal an election, I would first spend four years accusing the other side of doing X, and then do X.
Where X is: get loyalists delivering ballots in my districts to include an extra few boxes for me en route to counter.
