What C++ isn’t: • an object-oriented language • a superset of C, or an extension of C in any sense • a unified ecosystem (ABI, runtime, compiler, build system, dependency management, etc.) • a product of any organization, or someone else’s responsibility • the “STL”

I'm a bit tired of arguing with LLM during code reviews. It's a waste of my time. I will probably refrain from using AI for programming.
I don't buy it. The reasons are not providing good context, good CLAUDE.md or SKILLS for the agent to work. I see opposite Our Company Banned AI Coding Tools. Productivity Went Up 20%. Here’s Why. by @devrimozcy in @gitconnected

Чот похоже придётся отменять подписку на ChatGPT и подписываться на Claude.

Landau’s hypothesis always fascinates me: For a normal Fermi liquid, the low-energy excitation spectrum is in one-to-one correspondence with that of the effective ideal Fermi gas.
My professor’s unmatched enthusiasm is exactly what you need to study the geometry of k-space and Fermi energy!

The easiest way to handle errors is to not have them. 🤦♂️ Remember, software eventually works, hardware eventually fails. Paranoid checking invariants and grace degradation is the way.
“Programmers are taught early to spend a great deal of time considering ‘errors’, and how to ‘handle’ them. But one of the most important programming lessons I’ve learned over the past several years is to dismiss the idea that errors are special. At the bottom, the computer is a

I like the term "permit economy": markets everywhere, but property as conditional permission. Alternatively, "leasehold society" -- own nothing, rent everything.

"Capitalism" is a bad term: it's ideological branding. "Free markets" isn't enough either — markets can exist without strong property rights. If current Western practice is shifting from rights to licenses (property conditional on compliance), then we need a new term to describe

Ubuntu CUDA tip: keep your NVIDIA driver stack (nvidia-* + libnvidia-*) from Ubuntu/graphics-drivers only. Use NVIDIA’s CUDA repo for the toolkit only. Don’t install cuda/cuda-drivers meta packages that pull driver libs from NVIDIA repos -- HWE kernel updates trigger DKMS

They know they’re committing crimes, they just want to hide behind the big guys.
These are the tweets that got me blocked by the CEOs of Google DeepMind, Runway, and ElevenLabs respectively. I asked about the work they train on - as simple as that. If you can’t answer polite questions about this, what are you trying to hide?

@bee_fumo hmm, almost Rust is not really taken seriously in the aerospace industry. Ground systems and non-flight critical sure…but the verification tools really aren’t there for safety-critical systems. AFAIK, not a single Rust software component has met DO-178C certification yet.

Morning thoughts: What makes a good software project? What is a good maintenance of a software project? Among all other metrics, I would prioritize the following: the speed of consuming knowledge about the project. A good code is one allowing local reasoning. A good commit,

I like vibe coding. You think deeply on specifications with multiple iterations and on various levels of detail. Then, you create a plan to go from a prototype to an actual solution. For each stage of the plan, you define a subset of specifications, a robust test suite, and

If you like SQL.
"YoU pRoMpTeD wRoNg!" "YoUr RePo StRuCtUrE sUcKs!!" It was an empty directory with a single .csv file. I tested the exact same prompt on Codex after and it had no issues. I legitimately hate people like this.

I don't often open Visual Studio Code, but when I do, I give it my all.
