BB and BCS were both kinda slow burns IMO. That’s not to say the new show is worth holding onto (haven’t seen it), just commenting on the trend.

JFC, man. Fuck this snivelling weasel. I read the whole thing. How dare he even suggest he has a fleck of humility in his being. He goes in saying he submitted his changes as an RFC instead of a pull request, but goes balls deep on trying to defend his work as worthy of submitting. Utter bullshit.
Some quotes:
My explicit statement of having "no desire to actually learn about the Mesa code-base" was not seen as a gesture of honest humility,
“I have no intent on understanding this codebase that I’m 100% sure I’ve created a good change for, be grateful, peasants.”
also, him, explicitly not a developer, spake thusly:
This sentiment exposes the raw nerve of the open-source world: developer burnout.
vibe codes once I am become jeff, coder at google
Finally, this massive turd:
The Mesa project's updated contributor guidelines, which now demand that any submitter of AI-assisted code must understand it as if they wrote it themselves, has been lauded by some as a pragmatic solution. I contend it is a policy of convenience, a blunt instrument designed not to solve a complex problem, but to legislate it out of existence. It is a fortress wall built to protect the status quo, and while it may offer the illusion of security, it does so at the cost of innovation and by silencing a new and potentially valuable class of contributors. The discussion should not end here, with a policy that prioritizes procedural purity over measurable progress. The true challenge has been misdiagnosed; the pathology is not the "user with an AI," but a rigid, legacy process that lacks the antibodies to handle a new form of discovery.
Honestly this guy should just start his own fucking codebase where him and his promptfondling circlejerk buddies can vibecode bricks together.
So I got jumpscared recently by that couple. I was listening to one of my many favourite podcasts, Threedom, when on the most recent episode, "I Definitely Tuned Out and I Agree With You", this exchange happened, starting around 44 minutes, give or take 10 for ads.
::: spoiler spoiler tagged exchange, in case you are a pisspig* and don't want spoilers. Context: the hosts are talking about how they value fostering their children's expressive abilities, even if that means their children do things like scream in inappropriate situations.
Scott: I guess what I'm trying to say is that some parents would look at us, and say, like, "oh, you're not teaching them how to act in social situations or whatever,"
Paul: Yes, you should slap them across the face, in the store.
Scott: Who was that... that... that, like, person who... there's some parent out there that thinks that you need to like have a million kids or whatever and uh, and a paper writer followed them around and he just smacked his kid right in front of the paper writ-, er... the journalist? Uh, anyway...
Lauren: Paper writer?
Scott: Yeah, sorry, sorry, Journalist.
Paul: Couldn't sound more specific, and yet I don't know.
Tried too hard transcribing this and still feel like I did a bad job.
Anyway, gosh, congrats to them on their extreme success in being platformed. Couldn't have been a more deserving couple. /s
*pisspig is the name given to a fan of the podcast Threedom. The fans picked the name, the hosts aren't really sure why.
As long as line go up then everything is going ok ☺️/s
Saw a video talking about Google officially releasing “nano banana pro” which i regret to inform you is a real product and that the video was not a shitpost.
We should transition to NIMH technology. As in, let’s experiment on some rats to make them superintelligent and get them to solve all our problems.
Glad I clicked the link, I was pretty sure hj meant handjob.
noted! The dub was so bad i didn’t even think about whether or not it was autodubbed. Fortunately, through the combination of my rapidly fading japanese language skills, experience in code switching between english and other languages, and the spirit of aku-soku-zan, I managed to understand a lot of it beyond the premise itself.
NAS: Found out just now that Simone Veil’s pictures for sad children is back online, and has been for a while now. Her art meant a lot to me when I was reading it. Just letting you all know in case it meant something to you too.
The dub on that video is truly something, lmao. I counter with this:
毎日牙突、どれの式、ラララ〜
(to the tune of the mameshiba jingle)
"I even labeled it as an experiment. A social experiment, some might say. I'm saying it was just a prank, bro. But really you're the bad person because you were mean to me." This is DARVO, right?
You're right that sharing this stuff leads to harassment, at least a lot of the time. I have no interest in personally engaging with this fuck.
