Andrej Karpathy’s take on AI coding agents feels grounded. The industry’s chasing full autonomy when models still hallucinate too much.

Agents that churn out a thousand lines of code leave you either blindly trusting them or slogging through reviews. These tools should embrace their fallibility.

confident ignorance as tribal identity works great until reality selects for people who actually learned how things work

It's really amazing to me, a person born in the 90s, that I have a 13" laptop that has 24 CPU cores that go up to 5.1Ghz and 96GB of ram and it weighs under 3 pounds. So easy to take for granted just how far compute performance has improved.
Young me would not believe it

I couldn’t find a decent syntax highlighting library for .NET — so I built one while working on my AI coding assistant CodePunk.

YouTube video by Sabine Hossenfelder Did These Physicists Just Prove True Randomness?

A group of physicists claim they have proof that true randomness exists. This has implications for encryption protocols and computing, but (if true) would also indicate that the past does not determine the present.

Using Linux long enough and you start to unironically believe that GUIs were a mistake.

So many things are impossible only because someone told you they were impossible and you believed them

reddit post screenshot. what’s the point of vibe coding if i still have to pay a dev to fix it? what’s the point of vibe coding if at the end of the day i still gotta pay a dev to look at the code anyway. sure it feels kinda cool while i’m typing, like i’m in some flow state or whatever, but when stuff breaks it’s just dead weight. i cant vibe my way through debugging, i cant ship anything that actually matters, and then i’m back to square one pulling out my wallet for someone who actually knows what they’re doing. makes me think vibe coding is just roleplay for guys who want to feel like hackers without doing the hard part. am i missing something here or is it really just useless once you step outside the fantasy

What is a micro-retirement? Inside the latest Gen Z trend (Fast Company) Gen Z is rethinking retirement—by taking it in mini doses. The rising trend of *micro-retirements* means career professionals are pressing pause for 1-2 weeks every year to avoid burnout and boost well-being. While it's gaining traction (even among non-Gen Z workers), experts warn these breaks could come with long-term financial and career tradeoffs. Is unplugging worth the risk? Here's what to consider before booking your "someday" now.

you know what I love: web sites. Fewer apps, more web sites.

It’s strange to think that between our parents growing up without household devices, and- skating to where the puck is going- levels of abstraction developing higher and higher, we might be in the only time period where it’s decently common to understand computers

Added a way to diff two assemblies at the byte level.

This is what I really needed it for - to debug deterministic builds. I needed to see why is the assembly different even though nothing has changed. In this case it was SourceLink stamping the Git SHA into the embedded pdb.
