Because AI can't take responsibility. Humans can.

A human can not only learn from their mistakes and blunders but also, until very recently, the social pressure and fear of judgement would push (some) humans to try their best.

Now however, it is less socially acceptable to judge a human for mistakes made with AI coding because we are in a time of experimentation. So the blame has to go towards AI coding. Of course, coding with AI can be acceptable, if the human using the AI is rational and responsible.

But I think the bigger implicit point is actually that perhaps experimentation shouldn't be done on real projects and products as nonchalantly.

What I'm actually excited about in AI are smaller specialised things like whisper, CLIP, SAM, etc.

Just stacking them together as little building blocks has been amazing.

Great app to hopefully let more people realize that it's not all just huge LLMs that have to run somewhere else!

Interesting, though in Swiss German I think it would be Dächli over Dachli in any dialect, kind of making it not work. Nestli works, Sackli also doesn't. Would have to be Säckli.

Maybe this is confusing due to the Brotli compression algorithm. In that case, it should also be Brötli but was probably a pragmatic choice to change the ö to an o.

Ah true, too bad!

Interesting. Not that surprising that it works like this. But isn't it a little surprising that things like regexes, printf syntax and other DSLs aren't mostly handled and parsed at compile time in 2026?

Kind of language-dependent since regexes are normally specified as strings and most languages are pretty weak at "run this code at compile time". One of the things Rust users are fond of.

C# is in the middle on this one, where specific features get compile-time support and regex is one of them: https://www.devleader.ca/2026/05/03/c-regex-performance-gene...

I have also built a C# source generator myself (XML parser generator), but the developer experience is a bit of a hill to climb compared to what it could be.

I could be wrong but I think you could get started with all of that with a fraction of $1B.

Sure there is leisure and entertainment but if you want to use it to do something meaningful, with only 24 hours in a day you'll probably have much more money than time to use it well.

On the other hand 1B is really an arbitrary choice of number, so I think the reason he would choose this specific number definitely has more to do with arbitrary reasons (class, status), perhaps subconciously.

Personally I don't agree with the parent that everyone wants that much money. I think I can safely say not only am I content with much less but I also don't ever want to have the responsibility of having to manage that. Though I'm already saying that from a place of privilege where I don't need to worry about survival.

Furthermore, a lot of money almost certainly places you in an outlier group where normal laws and rights as formulated by humans don't apply the same. Assuming everyone has some empathy and sense of justice/righteousness, that should make them intrinsically not want to be in that group.

I'd much rather have something that behaves like:

    <if js is available>
      ...
    <else>
      ...
    <the closing tag i guess/>

Is that really any simpler or clearer than:

  <script>
    ...
  </script>
  <noscript>
    ...
  </noscript>

I think something like:

    <script src="..." id="bla></script>
    <noscript for="bla">Script not loaded</noscript>

Would be more flexible, and would be consistent with how labels, datalists, etc. are linked to their element.

Yes! That's what I meant. Wasn't able to express it clearly but you did :)

My first thought: what mining power does Iran have? Seems important.

It's worth remembering that the Iranians have as yet never claimed that the strait is mined. They have said that it may be. A lot of reporting misses this and assumes (perhaps deliberately) that the presence of mines is a fact.

But of course Iran doesn't need mines to enforce the blockade. They have drones and missiles that can be operated safely from 100's of kilometres away. They have anti-ship sea-skimming missiles. Not to mention the very large fleet of small armed fastboats.

I think the question is about bitcoin mining power and now actual mines

Ha! You would be right. My mistake.

It's crazy how little hardware is required to do facial recognition, OCR and CLIP. Immich on my little raspberry pi swiftly chewed through 100k pictures over night.

Agreed. And super cool project. After seeing Matt Godbolts Advent of Compiler Optimisations in December I decided to do AoC in assembly. Was the most fun I had in years even though I didn't finish all days!

And super educational. Since then I've been pondering which problems require dropping down to the assembly level. E.g. implementing a JIT compiler, a coroutine runtime, etc.

I'm glad there are sqlite backed file formats in that space. Having that said, they're not always the ideal choice.

For example, for map tiles mbtiles (sqlite) files can be used. In many applications though, pmtiles files are better because they allow for http range requests.
