My video about how LLMs are not search engines has led to many, MANY comments telling me that I should be using Perplexity. Some insisting that Perplexity does not hallucinate.

Out of a list of 26 papers it just provided me (in "Research" mode) 4 were real. FOUR. 85% hallucination rate.

YouTube video by Butter is good. How to get uBlock Origin back on chrome

PSA: Google made it even harder to use the indispensable UBlock Origin in Chrome, but it's still easy. This video has step-by-step instructions: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIqO.... A reminder to @searchliaison.bsky.social: if you make me choose between Chrome and UBlock Origin, I'll choose the latter.

Screenshot of terminal command reading $ curl --skip-existing -Z -K upub.txt and the curl output showing 11.1GB download for 60617 files taking 0:02:21, at an average speed of 80.9MB

curl's `-Z` flag with config file is amazing to do a whole bunch of downloads quickly.

60K files, 11GB, took only 0:02:21.

Only down side you have to build from source to get the `--skip-existing` flag.

Might do a blog post about all the neat stuff curl can do.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Google joins the call to gut our legal protections, pushing for a world where Big Tech gets to profit from all your innovations & works for free, and that theft is ok’d by law.

No joke IF they get this, the US will likely face irreparable harm as pivotal creative economies crash.

YouTube video by Michigan TypeScript TypeScript is being ported to Go | interview with Anders Hejlsberg

Your favorite DOOM slayer @michigantypescript.com has a fantastic interview with Anders Hejlsberg going over @typescriptlang.org's Go rewrite. Highly recommend!

sick design 📐 what OS are you trying to emulate? I've used getutm.app and had a good time with it.

Meta is reportedly scrambling multiple ‘war rooms’ of engineers to figure out how DeepSeek’s AI is beating everyone else at a fraction of the price The engineers will study how DeepSeek accomplished its tech feat and how Meta can benefit.

Mega cringe whenever computer nerds try to invoke military speak to describe their work. Just stop with the fucking war room bs.

una.im | New capabilities for attr() Advanced attr() is landing in Chrome 133, and I'm really excited for this feature! Here's a bit about it and how you can use it.

Dang I'm excited about new semantic attr() capabilities in CSS!

I wrote a post about why this feature is so powerful, how it could change the way you build components, and how I would use it.

Advanced attr() is rolling out in Chrome 133 starting next week 🥰

Screenshot of the clippy rules documentation for needless_return The rule warrants against the use of the return keyword at the end of a block, and claims doing so will make the code more "rusty". Source: https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#needless_return

"Removing the return and semicolon will make the code more rusty."
This might be the most useless lint in clippy, it hurts readability more than it helps code be more "rusty".

convinced that every startup has at-least (if not more) half-baked product named "insights"

I wish standing around for long exposures didn’t feel so awkward

just learned the other day that it's possible to copy to your clipboard over SSH:

- it's a core neovim feature: neovim.io/doc/user/pro...
- @cyberdemon.org told me you can write a 1-line shell script that will take stdin and put it in your clipboard, script is here jvns.ca/til/vim-osc52/
