I don’t know about fun. I don’t have people to travel with, so I just visit (european) cities and take a completely unreasonable amount of photos of mostly trains, trams, metros, stations etc.

6·2 months agoProfit rose to $112.1 billion, quadrupling from $28.2 billion a year earlier, boosted by investments in other Ai-related companies like Spacex and Anthropic. Those investments were valued at about $99 billion, Google said.
There it is.

6·2 months agoConsidering this is the logical endpoint of the “LLM’s are just like compilers bro” line of thought, I’m not surprised at all.

5·3 months agoI am a simple man. I just want more trains, more public transit and more housing next to said public transit.
And for better and worse YIMBYs are one of the few people I’ve seen to take that seriously.

6·4 months agoDunno, maybe they believe the pinky promise that their code won’t be used for training on the enterprise plans?

4·6 months agoDOS.BAT, a DOS DoS script
From a comment on the GitHub issue:
I personally see no reason why AI-generated contributions should be restricted … What’s needed are strict guardrails and QA infrastructure. From what I can see, the former is covered by the CLAUDE.md …
If a markdown file is considered strict guardrails, I really don’t want to see loose guardrails.

8·6 months agoAnd here I thought “people being easy to replace with a small shell script” was a joke…

If it’s any consolation, Astral was apparently already funded by our favorite Silicon Valley crypto-fascist and egghead cosplayer, Marc Andressen.

Second, to our investors, especially Casey Aylward from Accel, who led our Seed and Series A, and Jennifer Li from Andreessen Horowitz, who led our Series B. As a first-time, technical, solo founder, you showed far more belief in me than I ever showed in myself, and I will never forget that.

9·6 months agoThat’s an unfair characterization. I think a lot of those scripts are written in python.




I expected a lot of things, but I didn’t expect to be flashbanged.
