I have like a dozen publicly exposed services and none run on php so this kinda doesnt matter for me. Not much I can do about my MSPs using PHP atm, if any do. Kinda shocked to see the 70% web share, seems like it's been pinned at that level for close to 2 decades now.

Gotta say, I'm not really prepared for software engineering as a discipline coalescing around the idea that "code quality doesn't matter" as if before 3 years ago we didn't all have very visceral opinions about working on and debugging overly complicated and poorly structured codebases. It's wild.

We wouldn't be arriving at this conclusion if standards hadn't been wholesale abandoned as addiction to LLM outputs overtakes industry experience and wisdom.

That being said I am actively transitioning into cybersecurity because software engineering standards have been abandoned and security, which was already and afterthought, is quickly becoming the most vitally important concern.

it's not "code bloat", it's "operating at a higher level of abstraction"

Utterly pathetic and embarrassing behavior by a company CEO. Begging their users to like them. Get a grip. Log off for a few days.

Demand DCs use renewable energy. Demand access to open weight models. Learn how to use AI effectively to do things you couldn't otherwise. Dont fire strays at friends

Amazing how every time someone goes from skeptic/critic to addict, suddenly all of the externalities of LLMs that they are generally insulated from become negotiable for whoever does have to bear the cost.

Due to the current state of supply chain attacks, I'm essentially setting all of my development environments up in dedicated VMs now. It seems pretty reckless to do otherwise, tbh.

The difference between 404 Media and Wired could not be more stark. 404 sources info from town halls and real community members, while Wired sits down with a literal fascist and ignores the key distinction between GPU DCs and the traditional storage and virtual server DCs to argue "horseshoe theory"

Once upon a time, you could've lived next to a data center and never known it. For decades, they quietly powered Netflix, cloud storage, and the internet itself, tucked away near cheap power and fiber connections. www.wired.com/story/how-da...

Codeberg's where it's at. Slop is gonna persist, but it sure as hell ain't gonna win.

gabby@fullmoon.id

I thought this was a pretty interesting take from Codeberg's announcement of their anti-LLM policy They argue that many developers using LLMs are essentially heaven-banning themselves where they don't realize they're developing for a nonexistent community

Interestingly, if you use a 32-bit float, the loss of precision leads to the expected behavior, but if you use a double/64-bit float, you get the surprise.

The world cup has never needed a half time show, and the extremely thinly veiled effort to put more ads in front of you in the form of the conspicuously standard commercial break length "hydration breaks" is a form of enshittification.

It's a bleak and unfortunate turn of events. Everyone is porting over to rust, yet there still no rust jobs because nobody is actually learning rust and just having machines do the work.

good time to point out that flocks ceo is pro facial recognition and the only reason the firm doesn't use it is to avoid bad press

There seems to be a disconnect between gamer's attitude towards Valve and Sony. Discontinuing physical ownership of games would not be possible without the rise of Steam.

I mean I guess it could still be possible, but it would require another different unforeseen force pressuring in that direction, and we can't assume that.

The beautiful thing about going from ruby (rails) to rust as a self taught dev is that you learn all of the software development concepts that rails abstracted away and that's a real good thing!

I guess technically is a JSR issue, but I feel really misled by deno's "full npm compatibility" after spending the better part of my day migrating my projects over only to find out ".svelte" files are not packable, so I'll need to have at least 2 node runtimes installed. That's annoying.

if AI psychosis is like real psychosis, then you won't know you have it. You'll tell yourself you're among the few with a clear-eyed view of the world. Hey, claude thinks so, after all.

This is essentially why I dropped my atproto project. Until I figure out how to make the PDS data useless to bots. I have ideas.

Wrote about why the AT Protocol is the ultimate API for you and your agents! davidgasquez.com/atproto-agents We need more people building on the atmosphere!

Which javascript package manager is not a total shit show right now? Honest question because I want something stable and reliable. Obviously bun's out. My understanding is deno has been hemorrhaging maintainers, and npm is microslop. So is it just between yarn and pnpm?

Agentic coding exists in this weird place where “builders” need to simultaneously believe that it does all the work for them but that nobody else would be able to replicate their product

It's interesting that the people calling AI DC critics "NIMBYs" and aren't themselves advocating to build data centers on the roofs of their office buildings and high rise apartments or you know next to their kid's schools.

Pavel@spavel.bsky.social

Genuinely baffled by people who sincerely believe that being against AI data center development means you're a NIMBY. Might as well call the Standing Rock protesters NIMBYs too. A data center is not a house or park. It doesn't improve the community. It's purely infrastructure for extracting value.

I keep seeing developers post stuff that starts with "I built [X]", but then you look at the repo and it's all vibecoded. How I about I fork it and say "I built it"? You didn't do anything.

Have you noticed how these like tech influencer types who love LLMs and writing on their substack about AI-myths pick the most frivolous arguments to debunk? I spend a good amount of time in LLM skeptic circles and I have never heard anyone mention "infrasound" or land use as their main objections.

Andy Masley@andymasley.bsky.social

New post on data centers and land use, where I go into my manifesto for why we should trust farmers less open.substack.com/pub/andymasl...

No, consistently what people are mad about at community gatherings is their electricity costs spiking, and the loud sounds that primarily GPU based data centers emit, because they require industrial scale ventilation at full blast 100% if the time.
