f311a··on StackOverflow now gets fewer than 1000 questions a month
I don't think this should be celebrated, even though they had a bad attitude.

We are losing communities and human communication to LLM chats.

f311a··on R/open source bans all solo projects and projects using LLMs
What do you find interesting about ffmpeg and git ports? Why do you need to know about them? Porting them is trivial, but maintaining them is not, especially a better version. It's not rocket science. Everyone can prompt "rewrite it in Rust" and abandon the project in a few months. There is no novelty.

If there is something novel in the port, people usually write an article about that or at least mention it in the README.

f311a··on R/open source bans all solo projects and projects using LLMs
The ones that I have seen were90% slop. Bitcoin in Rust, 10 new agents in Rust. Zero explanations on why a project exists and how it is better.

Reddit struggles with AI submissions, there were like 20 AI oss projects per day in /r/Rust at some point. Most of them are slop and it’s hard to find something valuable.

X uses recommendations, so you don’t see all the projects and small accounts. You consume curated content.

f311a··on Remove pgrust: the entry is cheating (per-query kernels and result caching)
How? Compilators eliminate unused code.
f311a··on OpenShell – A safe, private runtime for fleets of autonomous AI agents
I have been running my dev setup in orb machines before agents. Very convenient when you have 50 Python or nodes deps.
f311a··on Canary Tokens
> given it's vibecoded

I've been using it since 2015

f311a··on PHP 8.2.35
That's why I mentioned vendors. They patch it before announcements.

Also, sandboxing makes automatic exploitation harder. There is no FS persistence, so some checks simply do not pass.

f311a··on PHP 8.2.35
This reminds me of the old days when PHP was such a vulnerable language.

By simply searching for websites that used local includes to load other pages, you could get RCE.

At this point, running webapps in JS workers/sandboxes sounds like a good idea. Vendors take care of patching.

f311a··on Facebook now charging to post more than 2 links a month
In think in the future, they will charge users for posting anything more than x times a months.

Generating slop content is cheap now, but you need to store it and very few people will see it, so you can't show more ads.

f311a··on Publish fake stats, get cited in LLMs
They train on conversations which pull data from web.
f311a··on Publish fake stats, get cited in LLMs
I'm not sure you get my point. Just ask ChatGPT, "What are the top 10 xxx," and see which sources it cites. Oftentimes, it's complete garbage with LLM tells.
f311a··on Publish fake stats, get cited in LLMs
This is a known problem, when ChatGPT uses web search tool, top 10 results are often LLM generated sources as well.

They now train on their own content.

Eating your own d̶o̶g̶ f̶o̶o̶d̶ poo.

f311a··on Show HN: Qwen3-4B with the AI writing tics trained out
Well, imagine that 90% of the comments on HN are generated and it's very hard to spot it. Would you read them?
f311a··on Show HN: Qwen3-4B with the AI writing tics trained out
Why would you support this sort of projects? LLM text should be spottable for as long as possible, otherwise human communication and expression on the internet will be killed.
f311a··on Tmux and Claude Code: Sessions, Send-Keys, and the Ceiling
I have it, was just curious.
f311a··on Tmux and Claude Code: Sessions, Send-Keys, and the Ceiling
This website is so hard to read on a 15" retina screen.

The text content occupies like 20% of the screen, the rest is empty. Resizing the window helps.

f311a··on Mitos editor is a fork of Helix
Yeah, and these features are very needed. People have been asking for a new release for half a year. There haven't been a lot of changes in the past 8 months, majority of them are grammar and theme updates.

BTW, if you compile helix from the main branch, source code indentation will be broken.

f311a··on DeepSeek-v4.1-Flash-1017
For me GLM thinks too much for no reason. It takes a 2-3 turns for DS where for GLM it takes up to 10.

I like giving precise instructions,”update function xx to support input yy, add tests”. There is no reason for 10 turns and 5 minutes of waiting.

f311a··on Call Center Jobs Are Declining, but 14,000 Calls Show Humans Still Outperform AI
Some customers are smart too, they just use their own agents to flood support agents until the problem is resolved.
f311a··on Sound (2022)
I think the author gave up posting new stuff because of it. The work isn't as appreciated as before.
f311a··on Fable Took My Job
Am I the only one who's having a hard time reading white text on a brown background?

It makes me think about how many people just stop reading because it's not comfortable, and they don't bother turning on reading mode.

f311a··on Yandex bot traffic down 99% after data center attack
He can read and think.
f311a··on Bot traffic from Yandex
You won't see this kind of stats on the CF page.

All it shows is direct traffic against CF infrastructure.

f311a··on Bot traffic from Yandex
I can’t believe there are so many dumb comments in this thread. All it shows is that crawling from Yandex search engine stopped from one Yandex data center ASN.

No one runs opinion/malicious bots from data center IPs that people mention here.

Did people actually stop thinking?

f311a··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
Yes, 5 hour usage from their Go page https://opencode.ai/go
f311a··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
Opencode Go gives only 6300 requests for glm and 23 000 for deepseek. And, if I wanted to, I would be able to do all my work on $10 plan with deepseek. It’s very cheap.
f311a··on Polars 2.0
There are some benchmarks for the previous version https://benchmark.clickhouse.com/#system=+ti%20rud|Dusa,s|PD...
f311a··on Supabase is acquiring Turso
I'm not affiliated in any way.
f311a··on Supabase is acquiring Turso
Another PR:

> Turso - it is ridiculously slow, can't believe that: revert the single-transaction import, cap per-query wall-clock
