Quoting @antirez.bsky.social on programming w/ LLMs:

"[...] I thought that we had more time before programming would be completely reshaped, at least a few years. I no longer believe this is the case. [...]"

I wrote a blog post with some thoughts and feelings on how LLMs are changing the craft of programming.

I wrote a new blog post (on my new blog, btw) on how Nx (the build tool) "pulled the rug" on us at work: mitigations and lessons learned.

Few things in life have stressed me more than immigration, especially when my spouse and I had different statuses. What's happening in the US right now with the USCIS changes is going to inflict immense, and very avoidable, pain on a lot of people :(

On September 20 in London, join us and people to demand that billionaires and big polluters pay to fix broken Britain:

🤑 Tax the super-rich
👷 Protect workers, not billionaires
🏭 Make polluters pay

Telling poor people to be more entrepreneurial is sick

There is this meme on TikTok, "I don't want to be French". This is an attempt to divide Europe, now that Macron has the leadership against the clown-cracies around us. Don't feed the troll: I WANT TO BE FRENCH, a country that, with mine (Italy) shared a lot. We are brothers, and sisters.

Taxing the rich more is difficult but it's necessary

Claim: LLMs should be released with test vectors at t=0, with the expected output for N prompts, for the full precision and common quants. Also, for specific prompts, full logits for a few tokens, so that it's possible to compute the error due to quantization or inference errors.

Quoting LessWrong:

"we're teaching the same architecture to recognize which outputs trigger disapproval. [...] You'd still see reduced violence, but through a more fragile mechanism: strategic calculation rather than genetic change. "

Chrome breaking ad-blockers is finally happening. I'm glad I moved back to Firefox many years ago and never looked back.

The "language mixing" that has been observed on many Chinese LLMs like Deepseek R1-Zero, reminds me how I either switch to thinking in Italian or English depending on the context, often without realising it.

Good insigths on the anti-AI sentiment that can be found on Bluesky. By @eugeneyan.com

Not a fan of AWS in general but that's a pretty compelling sell right there

Interesting shift in my decision-making process: I now consider not only how well a tool solves a problem, but also how much my AI assistant is trained on it.

E.g., there's much more training data on webpack than esbuild.

Google DeepMind has released a new weather model (and its weights) that outperforms traditional models in certain conditions.

This is exciting and could have a significant impact on disaster relief and renewable energy, among other areas.

Just released:

🐱 Gattino: A kitty terminal extension that turns plain language into commands.

A minimal alternative to full blown AI terminal like Warp.
