on masto, few colleagues turning away as i carefully make peace with the idea that coder life is changing, many colleagues now feeling safe enough to open up about how they use it.

on bsky, depressing the "i can do anything now" fanatics with my impeccable knowledge of limitations. it has become *more*, not less important to teach amateurs what we know. the fundamentals have not changed, there's just more fuzz in the gears of 10x land.

interesting ubuntu 26.04 bug. laptop was on single session for a bunch of days - suspended and resumed multiple times. after returning from suspend, the machine goes into suspend after 10 seconds every time.

we have three access levels to AI:

1. community models (huggingface)

2. blackbox models (anthropic, openai)

3. corporate inhouse models, inaccessible to the public

we're mostly angry at (2), but (2)'s knowledge can be sampled through APIs and lands in (1) and (3).

when funding fails, and it will, then we're left with (3). (2) is gone/paywalled and (1) will be scattered and siloed because huggingface is paywalled.

this is bad because AI is rapidly improving.

the right can never really fix the "migrant crisis" they invented, or it becomes immediately clear that this was never the problem.

that's how you can tell the schemers from the kool aid drinkers. the schemer's migrant policies only look like something's happening. but the kool aid drinkers work with all their might on ridding themselves of migrants, unaware that it will be their undoing.
