So when they get stuck somewhere it means the operator took a bathroom break?

Because politicians decided on ideological principles and not technical ones.

If you use AI to bypass the hard parts of learning, you're opting out of acquiring the very expertise required to supervise it.

Remember skipping the hard problems or checking the answer key too early? Those shortcuts leave permanent holes in your foundation. Contrast that with the "sting" of an exercise that pushed you to your limit, but you finally got right; that struggle is the reinforcement that makes learning stick.

These tools creates a massive temtpation to skip the struggle, but without that cognitive friction, you aren't just stalling; you're building a knowledge debt that compounds daily.

Skill acquisition as any learning, is a compounding process.

In this paper, researchers validate my view that debugging and mental modeling are the true fault lines of AI use. Those who offload the "thinking" to AI suffer a "learning tax," losing in skills compared to those working manually.

Intellectual property licences under German insolvency law

If the administrator refuses, the licence generally ends and the licensee loses the rights to use the software.

If the licensor (the company that sold or granted the licence) becomes insolvent, the administrator has a statutory right to decide whether to continue the licensing contract or to refuse performance.

Oh Native instruments, are we screwed?

:/

Under German insolvency law, most software license agreements are treated as continuing use contracts that the insolvency administrator can either continue or terminate.

Reminds me of all those teachers who hate teaching 😂

The entry tax for generative into real CAD is really hard. You most likely need the entire foundation of what Autodesk offers to verify that a design is correct and working.

The original still looks sleek after all those years, but I could never find a proper 3d recreation.

I started to print the robocop 2.

I want to make a custom 3D face and install a little oled display on it. I spin on some “fake” modeling that kind of nails it when you apply some shaders

@lizthegrey.com 1.8k in here it’s like 18k on twitter 😅

Enjoy your freedom :)

if is there a modern book that need the “stripe press” treatment is @stuffwithstuff.com ‘s crafting interpreters.

Streamed something to twitch. Seems to go well.

I’ll try and let you know.

My plan is to play some live gigs next year, and carrying several instruments isn’t ideal. Next, I want to pair it with an Apple Mac mini and see how far this setup can go for controlling Logic Pro, Gig Performer, and my VSTs.

With optimized or balanced mode the battery can hold itself well enough, but having the full power of Linux in a mobile environment really makes it feel like a real “cyberdeck”.

I convinced myself I needed a GPD Pocket 4 because I could use it as a KVM for my mini rack and the other headless machines I keep around.

Little did I know it would turn out to be a Trojan horse and become one of the best mobile setup I've ever had.

@realgdt.bsky.social really did justice to the Frankenstein story. It goes beyond the usual creator vs creature angle and quietly leans into fatherhood. As a father who grew up with a pretty bad example and is trying really hard not to repeat that, it hit harder than I expected.

That is exactly why it is so striking that with them it feels like product, engineers and leadership teams all speak the same language.

You’ve gotta respect the excellence Cloudflare ships. If you’ve ever dealt with real networks, multiple datacenters, real traffic, you know how brutal those problems are. They are not just keeping that complexity under control for themselves, they are packaging it and selling it to everyone else.

I read more and more that LLMs are the future of learning; this belief is shattered when you ask someone what they have learned from assisted writing, or if they can recall information.

The GPU graveyard 😅

That Titan was one of the two Nvidia gifted me back in 2015.

If I had taken the value and bought their stock instead, it would be worth about $600k today

Hawaiian gopher shirt pattern.

Heading home from #GopherCon 2025 in NYC. As usual, many people asked how to get one of the amazing Go gopher Hawaiian shirts by Renee French. I've posted the details at github.com/rsc/gophersh.... (I know one person who has made pajama pants with the pattern. Socks might be nice too.) Enjoy!

Apparently, there’s someone at Discord whose entire job is to make sure we never get a font selection window.
