This for me is one of the greatest cognitive dissonance moments with LLMs: on one hand we have the proposition “LLMs will do everything, take your job, automate anything that can be automated, produce novel research, lead humankind to a golden age” and other hand we have “no way to make it not sound like a guy who just learned this two sentences”.

I really want to like Pragmata Pro, but for such a price I'd like to see a couple more examples of the font used for programming! The website only has three tiny examples for Haskell, Agda, and APL (!). The tester from MonoLisa should be the benchmark here

what would you ask to get a better design?

fair point but they're not using only for "vibe" coding. Many (most) teams still have humans contributing

I did sublingual immunotherapy for gramineae and while the immunity does wane with years and in particularly bad years (like this one) you'll get symptoms it's still waaaaay better than before

a colleague using OpenCode was telling me it has linting/formatting configurable at harness level and I can't see why this is in every harness

that's because when dealing with art, the "why" something was made can be as important as the "what"

agos — Mon, 04 May 2026 07:40:38 +0000

if you go to any doctor of any specialization in any point of the world and tell them "doctor, once every three months I get an headache" I guarantee that the answer will be "does it go away with an ibuprofen/paracetamol?"

The implication is that scaling pg vertically should also obviate the need for a cache or search engine?

This is super interesting! I wonder if there is something like this for other languages!

The tech specs are also really vague. Like, what is it made of? How big is it? How is the viewfinder? This product makes sense only to someone who already has used or has an old Widelux and wants a new one

5200 € of camera and you don’t even get a guarantee? That’s bold

if the camera profiles are good (or they support third party profiling) this could easily become my go to, but that's a big if

A few years ago I bought from Cleartones[1] and have been quite happy with them. They guy who made them[2] then went to lead for twelve years the sound design on Apple’s design team

that's like saying my job is to transfer money from my employer to the homeowner. Technically true but something else happens in the process
