Aeolun··on How I changed teaching after AI managed to do all my homework assignments
I dunno, if I had to teach students now I think I’d just force them to stay in the lecture hall without internet for the hour I need them to work on their assignments that week. I just can’t see any other reasonable way to do this. Everyone leaves their phones at the door in some designated locker or something.
Aeolun··on Plan mode is dead
It is absolutely true that Opus 5.5 just ‘gets it’ far more often than gpt-5.6-sol, which is more like an idiot savant. It can nearly always do what you ask it to, but that might not be what you want.
Aeolun··on Factorio that you can touch
It helps that Factorio has been such a massive success, and that they’ve stayed (to appearances anyway) relatively small.
Aeolun··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
Doesn’t that validate my point? The liver needs to deal with this stuff unless you manage to throw it all up again.
Aeolun··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
I feel like this is obvious. Eventually dying of all the weird body failures doesn’t inhibit your ability to procreate, but if you cannot survive alcohol or other various poisons you’ll never make it to a fertile age.
Aeolun··on Owners mourn spoiled food after firmware update bricks Samsung smart fridges
How?! The only thing you need to do is test it on the friggin fridge?!
Aeolun··on The darker side of being a doctor
> Would it help if we get a lot more of the first kind of doctors?

Depends? Did the tests actually find anything, or did they just make you feel better?

I had a talk with my GP about this at some point, and he more or less told me that he can just say "Go home, rest, come back in two weeks if it doesn't get better.", and 95% of the time that'll be exactly what is necessary. The hard part of his job is figuring out which of the visits are those 5%.

Aeolun··on Netherlands bracing for potentially devastating US sanctions against the ICC
I’m pretty sure they’re past the point of prosecution.

The US has really degenerated into a strongman state hasn’t it? This is more like what they tell us to expect from China, but what we actually get from the US.
Aeolun··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
Sure, I’m willing to believe that someone with a knife in their hands might go one or two ways, but there is no other purpose for a cruise missile.

There’s such a thing as neglicence to the point of intent.

Aeolun··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
Ok, so... in my experience using luna and sol 6 today, they are incredibly aggravating to work with.

Me: "Can you check this thing?"

Sol: "Of course!"

Me: "Do so then!"

Sol: "Ok, I checked it."

Me: "Aaaaaand?..."

Sol: "I found some verify significant things."

Me: "List them! Actually, you know what, let me just go back to gpt-5.6 this is ridiculous."

Also known as mass murder

Seriously, that's one way to sanitize hat happened.

Aeolun··on Grammarly will send unhinged messages to all your users if you try to cancel
Displaying a full page warning in an app where grammarly is just an integration is... not a good look.
Aeolun··on AI coding has made CI a bottleneck, so we reworked ours to keep up
Pretty convenient if you are pointed at the moon though, because there is no other way you’ll get there.

To be fair, the forced cloud migration has (unfortunately) been pretty good for performance.
Aeolun··on AI coding has made CI a bottleneck, so we reworked ours to keep up
That problem isn’t new though. It’s not the biz people that are enthusiastic over AI, it’s the devs.

Anecdotally, codex is very fond of checking strings are equal between UI and test.
Aeolun··on Claude Status – Elevated errors for multiple models
It’s super easy to just run a totally disconnected synthetic check.
Aeolun··on NASA’s Mars Sample Return mission is dead
When has the US ever hit a target? I mean, in recent memory anyway. 10 years of budget overruns are more likely.
Aeolun··on AI coding has made CI a bottleneck, so we reworked ours to keep up
All of the work work at my company has been internal facing. People are rightly leery of exposing things made by an LLM to the public.
Aeolun··on I am often wrong
It’s kind of like catnip. But it’s ok, chances are that a lot of people keep asking you how you achieve success when you get to that point. You don’t really know either, but you have to write down something.
Aeolun··on More than 100k people in Japan are now aged 100 or older
> In 2019, Donald Trump said the satellites would also carry offensive weapons.

Yes.

This man is going to single-handedly make it impossible for humans to ever reach space again.

Aeolun··on Steam Frame starts at $1059
Only if you think of the headset as being Valve’s. I think the think it’s the user using their own headset to run software that tracks them.

I know, that’s an almost absurd concept in this day and age. But apparently it is possible.

Aeolun··on Steam Frame starts at $1059
It’s hard to find a killer app when the whole ecosystem is locked down by a massive advertising company.
Aeolun··on Steam Frame starts at $1059
I recently did a moon exploration in VR with a whole bunch of other people. They had a whole bunch of those pico headsets somehow syncing all their locations to each other, overwriting selective parts of the environment, and simultaneously showing the same location in English and Japanese. That was by far the best VR experience I’ve ever had.
Aeolun··on Dario, Please
Yeah, so since it’s the CEO’s and their lackeys half determining what laws get to be, we don’t have this kind of laws.
Aeolun··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
And love that after many years, despite going all in on the silly x name, it’s still Twitter to many.
Aeolun··on OpenAI bots knew about the RubyGems caching vulnerability
Not yet anyway
Aeolun··on Mullenweg has returned as CEO after attempted board ouster
Matt is of the opinion that if they’re going to try and take his thing he might as well burn it down, isn’t he xD
Aeolun··on We've followed their lives for six decades; now the stars of 7 Up are bowing out
But they all went to the same elementary school!
