"If I were to do this again, I wouldn’t do a custom build like this. I would buy a standard datacenter server and rent space in a colocation center. But then I would miss saying Hi to grumbl once in a while."

My repos for personal projects are split in two. One side contains code of better quality than I could write myself. The other side is throwaway vibe-coded shit that works somehow.

“You’re somebody who is a bad mother, right?” Mutcherson said. “Which is a huge part of what the thought process is here. This is not what mothers do. Mothers sacrifice, including allowing somebody to cut you open.”

You Americans have completely lost it.

Or these are oranges and apples, and your perspective is simply blurred because you are starting a fight whenever someone wants you to put up your glasses. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We really need to stop thinking that every AI assisted thing is bound to be slop. "Shit in Shit out" often Applies in reverse aswell.

New comment by Radle in "No right to relicense this project"

Radle — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 09:12:20 +0000

the ai copy pasted the existing project. How can such a procedure not fall under copyright?

Especially now that ai can do this for any kind of intellectual property, like images, books or sourcecode. If judges would allow an ai rewrite to count as an original creation, copyright as we know it completely ends world wide.

Instead whats more likely is that no one is gonna buy that shit

The Indirection is on purpose, it works like a continued chain of thought.

I am tiny bit angry reading this. Does the author believe he can just come into my country and by the mere fact of breathing has a right to vote in my countries election? This is madness if you aren't a citizen you don't get to vote..

Once Gaming hits Linux for real Windows will simply die. Explorer takes 10 seconds to open when the folder in question has a couple of Gigs, blue screen crashes are for some reason back in win11. The entire thing takes ages to boot.

It's simply to bloated.

Same! My first thoughts: "Is this language pronounced Lang or Slang? Slang is actually a cool name for a new programming language..."

The trick with using characters which by definition are not allowed inside variable names, "<" and ">", should be sufficient no?

Only real programmers know how to do that.

New comment by Radle in "I tried vibe coding in BASIC and it didn't go well"

Radle — Sun, 20 Jul 2025 04:55:41 +0000

I had way better results. I'd assume the same would have happened to the author if he provided the LLM with a full documentation on what ATARI BASIC is and some example programs.

Especially when asking the LLM to create a drawing program and a game the author would have probably received working code if he supplied the ai with documentation to the graphics function and sprite rendering using ATARI BASIC.

Huh, I didn’t even notice a new Club has opened.

There’s a free entry event on Thursday I’ll go and check out Open Ground.

"She was the first African-American woman federal judge nominated by President Donald Trump", judges being appointed by politicians is a complete joke.

Consumption taxes hit low income people the hardest and also reduce consumption.

What you are suggesting is the biggest redestribution of wealth in US history, putting a lot more money into the super riches pockets.

It might also severly damage the US economy.

Sorry for passing Ursula von der Leyen to the EU, this feels like a deja vu.
