For everyone writing #rustlang, make your Clippy config stricter! I ran into a bug that the compiler didn't catch but a Clippy lint would have, and then went through the lints to figure out which to enable that would catch these types of errors in the future. emschwartz.me/your-clippy-...

You know it’s a beautiful day in nyc when you smell weed all the way from your office to the subway stop

If you wanted to defend against the litellm attack getting your private ssh keys, you'd need to make git unusable. With clash, you can specifically allow git to have read access to ~/.ssh but not python

I think all posts should require hidden context for those of us who are perpetually two weeks behind the news

Due to high geopolitical tensions, sports fans are temporarily required to contextualize their posts, for example: ❌ OH GOD OH NO OH FUCK ✔️ OH GOD OH NO OH FUCK how did he make that basketball go in the hole

Season 4 of the boys had the chance to have Simon Pegg wake up from his coma speaking with his own accent… what a missed opportunity

I think bluesky would be roughly 300% better if people here were capable of reading “this is an assessment of the empirical reality of a situation” without assuming it comes with an implicit “and therefore I endorse the reality of that situation”

I’m happy to make referrals and help interview prep for any of my friends that want to leave OpenAI now that you work for a defense contractor.

I don’t mean the UI is glitching, the buttons and touch input literally don’t appear to be connected to anything. Hard / soft reset methods do nothing because they use buttons that aren’t connected.

Hilariously the one button that appears to be connected is the voice control button on the steering wheel. But it seems like you can’t do menu navigation with that so we are probably just stuck in silence for the 6 hour drive

TL;DR we are building an agent agnostic safety harness to take back some agency of what we let run on our machines. 1. Support the best safety features provided by any of the agent harnesses on ALL the agent harness 2. Prevent against vendor lock-in by making portable + composable tools

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players ssh snakes.run to join!

I've often wondered why sex is on any government documents at all. Why does the IRS need to know I'm a dude

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

Sorry for being nosy but I’m in a pretty quiet airport. a woman sat down next to a much older pilot here in the food court and started very obviously flirting with him but he absolutely cannot stop listing off aviation facts to her regardless of whatever question she asks him

The best tool we have to push CEOs to take on the president and prevent further erosion of the American brand is in our pockets — an economic strike that builds on calls for Apple boycotts that are already starting to emerge.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

We all know it was a sieg heil… why is anyone pretending it wasn’t? I don’t think he’s a literal nazi, but I do think he’s a bad enough person to think that it would be funny.

Made crème brûlée french toast I saw on claire saffitz’s youtube channel. Honestly the best recipe I’ve tried when serving large groups without using the oven

About 6 months ago I left IG to work on super sexy LLM training problems. What kind of problems you ask? … debug logging.
