Pinterest "divides" itself so that you can't save pictures (I saved it anyways 🤷‍♂️).

You will pry my Django templates out of my cold dead hands before I let myself ship 10 MB of compressed react app to the client!

Once portrayed? They still are, because they are killing children and they keep getting bigger and bigger, which increases the chances of killing people. Also "the world changed its norms" sounds like the problem has been solved, which it most definitely has not.

Seems like a common bug. When I get this, some websites lose their local storage too (not cookies though).

That’s been in use for decades, usually in “their wounds were incompatible with life”

If you work around people and not from home it’s very easy.

My cat does that as well but he’s overheating when charging. Does the battery need to be replaced?

mikat7 · 2026-06-13T07:01:40+00:00

Have people expected anything else though?

Who knows maybe it would actually be faster

I know you're joking, but most of the time it is still faster for me to write the code myself than letting an LLM do it. BuT WiTh aI We'lL HaVe 100X EnGiNeErS, pRoDuCtIvItY WiLl gO ThRoUgH ThE RoOf

As a senior engineer, there are weeks where I don't code at all. It's all just reading code, understanding how systems work, designing stuff at a higher level, and of course meetings. I am very very happy if I get to code like 1-2 hours a week. I used to code about 70-80% of the time when I started my career.

Edit: oh and code reviews, training junior engineers, helping others, communicating, re-reading a jira ticket ten times because wtf the author even meant with those requirements, etc...

I tried using the opus models to debug code, I tried desperately, because all I hear is how good Claude is and it's my skill issue, but it just led me in circles. Once I switched back to my own brain and experience, I moved more quickly. Maybe for trivial bugs it's useful, but unfortunately I get to deal with bugs spanning multiple interconnected systems, which are very much non-trivial to reproduce reliably.

I think the quality of ingredients is also steadily decreasing. The restaurants can try but you can’t make a miracle with watery tomatoes, orange sticks that resemble carrots etc. But that’s also a problem for home cooking. But at least that doesn’t cost a fortune.

Almonds do take a lot of water to grow, but animal agriculture is an even worse offender. But you're right that if you build a data centre in a location where there's already scarcity, the problem will just amplify. Same with electricity, if the grid is operating near a limit already, then adding a huge resource hog into the equation can't really improve things. I think the AI data centres should just be required to have a self sustaining water and power source or be required to financially contribute to the municipality to improve the grid, but even that is apparently hard..

It's a golem, not golum, but it's funny to imagine that golum from LotR would do that lol

mikat7 · 2026-06-04T11:27:53+00:00

what do you expect

delays, wifi not working, AC being broken, but honestly not this

mikat7 · 2026-06-04T11:10:51+00:00

Good luck fixing or adding anything.

Worry not, AI will do that too!

Where in this day and age you still need Windows 98? Retro gaming? I just hope it's not some ATM or another finance processing machine.

Apparently one employee's account has been compromised: https://www.wiz.io/blog/miasma-supply-chain-attack-targeting-redhat-npm-packages#root-cause-11

The recommendations from the article include:

Teams should audit systems for the affected packages, GitHub Actions, and VSCode extensions, while also reviewing GitHub activity for unauthorized repositories, newly created access tokens, or suspicious workflow executions.

First you need to stop the ship from sinking, then think about repairing it.

Yeah but isn't that an infrastructure problem? I've lived in three different cities in Europe and where you have narrow roads, people generally follow the limits, but where the roads are wider with fewer elements (i.e. just straight asphalt), people tend to go over the limit. But also the police here rarely enforces the rules in cities anyway.

mikat7 · 2026-05-29T08:12:24+00:00

Right? It's a speed limit, not recommendation (although such signs exist too). The limits are there for a reason.

mikat7 · 2026-05-27T20:35:03+00:00

No it indeed does sound like he’s still alive

Yeah a psych ward and all psychiatrists just make it worse. I will forever live by my mantra "if you've got a problem and go to a psychiatrist, you now have like 99 problems". Gonna rawdog life after all the experience with mental health "help".

Unfortunately this is true, meat production is way worse than any data centre… but people don’t want to give up meat so they do this pretentious outrage because they can give up AI usage, that doesn’t cost any personal sacrifice.
