If you'd like to follow along with the happenings in Maine, I have two feeds for you: 1. Maine bsky.app/profile/tilm... 2. #mepolitics bsky.app/profile/tilm...

Yeah, you know, totally fair

was talking to my 8yo about what’s sci fi and what’s fantasy articulate the difference between technology and magic in one post. go

yeah. my general thesis is that a lot of people have never had or given themselves the opportunity to be bad at things that other people can see and evaluate

hmmm

This is a good week for #hugops - don't get too cocky about your tech stack, none of us are going to get through this unscathed.

Hot take: an indie/solo dev with a vision using AI as a force multiplier is creating a game that is more "human" than the vast majority of AAA games

Working with PHP will break your whole brain after just 4 years

Beginning to think that "zero trust" was a mistake. There should be _some_ trust.

Yeah I've worked with Kyles. They are NGMI.

I think about this a lot, mostly in that I see it as an opportunity. There has not been a better time in living memory to apprentice for someone who's trying to retire.

Small colleges will collapse which will be the based youth rejecting Marxist indoctrination or the shameful abandoning of education by late capitalism, when the reality is that there will be less 18-22 year olds.

Military recruitment will become more difficult and this will be spun as everything from the youth rejecting the imperialist war machine to wokeness choking the military when there will simply be less potential junior enlisted in the general population.

The general greying of society will lead to a lot of things happening simply due to less young people that various people will claim are clearly actually due to whatever bullshit they’re on about. It’s gonna be very irritating.

If you ask a question of a machine, and you get the wrong answer, then you asked the wrong question. Blaming the machine for being faulty is akin to shouting at a rock for being in the way of your toe.

This might just be a trap for my blocklist but I'm really curious what people who are heavily using AI in software jobs and consider themselves comfy with it think AI literacy looks like. How do you encourage it for juniors? What patterns or habits of work are you trying to encourage and use?

If you’re going to say that we need to “act on it” you should share some opinion about what that action should be. Saying “Someone should do something! [gestures vaguely]” is unhelpful.

Who's doing AI Agent work with GIS data? If I wanted to map the fiber internet options in my town, what kinds of tools would I use?

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Will’s contentions do not rely in any way on nonclassical logics.

tag yourself I'm blue

the spirit of the post is far older than the medium

wait till you find out about social media and short video content news.berkeley.edu/2026/10/09/u...

I don't think LLMs are conscious but I do think (and I don't know if there have been studies on this or if this has been verified, it is just something I think is likely) people who regularly use LLMs and also frequently behave extremely abusively to LLMs are more likely to be dicks to humans too

we didn’t appreciate these images enough.

Once again, if you are a senior researcher spreading doom to junior researchers, shut up shut up shut up. It’s your job to figure out a path forward, even in high uncertainty times. Come back when you have something constructive.

The piracy machine cuts in both directions

The poster in my likes this joke. The Trekkie in me is like wtf!
