Truly amazing times. Just doing things has never been easier, and it has really reinvigorated me.

Maybe Ghostty will follow Zig to Codeberg, but it doesn't seem like a fit to me.

OSS is increasingly bisecting into two camps, and you can tell which camp they are in depending on whether their developers use X or Mastodon/Bluesky.

It's 100% oriented around the US political compass, too.

I noticed this in ~2012 in the Python community. PyCon 2013 was the last "real PyCon" in my eyes. That was "Donglegate" happened, and was the last TiP BoF.

Since then it's only increased both in both scale and scope.

The politics of each "side" completely aside, it has worried me for a long time that the division has infected F/OSS as well, and weakened it as a result.

It's best to ignore such things.

How much degradation are you wiling to observe before you conclude maybe it should not be ignored?

Caring about whether a user is on team 'x' or team 'bluesky' is the degradation.

My brain is so cooked that I saw “M 7.4” and the first thing I thought was, “Which model is that?”

It's quite mid on the benchmarks. No where near the SOTA earthquakes.

They are heavily invested in Bitcoin and still offer and improve their Bitcoin services. It’s not really “blockchain.” They’re not a crypto company. They are ideologically dedicated to Bitcoin.

MiniMax has an incredibly affordable coding plan for $10/month. It has a rolling five hour limit of 100 prompts. 100 prompts doesn't sound like much, but in typical AI company accounting fashion, 1 prompt is not really 1 prompt. I have yet to come even close to hitting the limit with heavy use.

They abandoned Swift recently.

The public announcement was less then a week ago. Meanwhile in TFA:

> ... the entire port took about two weeks.

So he was ~halfway in when he made the Swift announcement.

Doesn’t sound like a bad thing to evaluate the most obvious alternative to build confidence before officially pulling the plug.

The key requirement is memory safety, which would rule out Zig.

Last time I checked, Zig was breaking it's stdlib, so it's not an alternative imo

Swift adoption had been dead long before the actual announcement. It's likely Rust was being considered long before this two week experiment with LLMs.

No. Shut up. This has been confirmed by countless Iranians

We prepared for this :)

This is obviously AI to everyone but the most gullible people imaginable. However, this is becoming more and more common and we should really crack down on it before it completely escapes social acceptability containment.

Cashu is a working chaumian ecash protocol built on Bitcoin. It is quite functional and has some subset of bitcoiners actually using with, with many wallets and mints building on the protocol.
