Sure AI codegen produces a gigantic volume of bad slop code, but at the same time, there are stories like this which show the positive impact that lowering the barrier to entry for software can have. It's why I don't see AI codegen as a clear cut black/white absolute-good/absolute-bad issue.

Imagine taking all of the best arguments against AI coding, and then telling them to this person’s uncle that those are the reasons why he shouldn’t have this tool. I wouldn't be able to do that.

did u know, #systemd can now run #docker images natively, kinda

it's really nice

just needs two commands:

sudo importctl --class=machine pull-oci docker.io/library/alpine:latest alpine

sudo systemd-nspawn -M alpine /usr/bin/env sh -l

thank you @pid_eins, I've spent several days/weeks in the past implementing this myself with hoops calling system-nspawn with my own docker layer overlayfs/bindmounts. Really hyped replacing this with that work.

In case people are wondering why GitHub has been having some issues as of late - the GitHub COO recently shared that they're handling up to an order of magnitude more traffic than they were a year ago.

It's not like GitHub is just serving up pictures and text - things like the core git backend and actions are quite complex to host at scale. Idk, I guess I'm not surprised there are some stability issues when they're going from handling 1 billion commits/year to 14 billion commits/year.

i was recently sick in shanghal (not covid), and was impressed by their near-instant PCR testing (for 12 different pathogens!) services, so I documented it: https://winnielim.org/journal/the-experience-of-being-sick-in-shanghai/

also some commentary about the seemingly lack of care about health in society.

I'm really stunned employees of #Palantir are only now thinking they are the bad guys...
