My favourite piece of internet today is the theory that Jesus was actually a type of yeast.

Turns water into wine
Floats on water
Makes bread for 5000 people
Put in a cave for 3 days and lo - he has risen!
Jesus was a sourdough starter.

Also this would imply: We should be calling him 'Mother' not 'Father'

@gwynnion become a martyr for your cause by dying vicariously through your children!

@mcc wait, me too.

An algorithmic thing going on I think.

JFC man, you shouldn’t by allowed to go “your package is out for delivery, signature required, it’ll be delivered before 9pm” at 6am.

Thanks for the delivery window, dipshits.

So, Qwen3-Coder-Next.

It's being marketed as a new open-weight coding LM model with many fewer parameters than Claude-Opus-4.5 yet still packs a punch so it can be used for local development.

How does it work?

They scraped GitHub Pull Requests & Issues (not just the code itself) and ran many agentic workflow simulations as part of the training.

So yeah, literally the way real programmers work in open collaboration is now being scraped too. 😠

GTFO!

What are inhabitants of Mordor called, Mordorians? Mordorers?

I’ll go with Mordorers.

Any group of people sharing a common culture is a cult. It’s in the name, I didn’t make the rules.

@catsalad can’t unsee the robot faces!!! Gaaaaah!!!

reading nixCraft@mastodon.social's post lead me to the reddit one.

>and it reminded me of why i like linux so much.

unix philosophy

In their Unix paper of 1974, Ritchie and Thompson quote the following design considerations:[1]

Make it easy to write, test, and run programs.

Interactive use instead of batch processing.

Economy and elegance of design due to size constraints ("salvation through suffering").

Self-supporting system: all Unix software is maintained under Unix.

In 1978, Doug McIlroy documented a set of principles encapsulating the "characteristic style" that had emerged among Unix system users and developers:[2][3]

Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new "features".

Expect the output of every program to become the input to another, as yet unknown, program. Don't clutter output with extraneous information. Avoid stringently columnar or binary input formats. Don't insist on interactive input.

Design and build software, even operating systems, to be tried early, ideally within weeks. Don't hesitate to throw away the clumsy parts and rebuild them.

Use tools in preference to unskilled help to lighten a programming task, even if you have to detour to build the tools and expect to throw some of them out after you've finished using them.

Later, in 1994, it was summarized with the explicit name "The Unix philosophy" by Peter H. Salus, who credited it to McIlroy:[4][3]

Write programs that do one thing and do it well.

Write programs to work together.

Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.

>and it seems ai and vibe coding is the antithesis of this.

they will sack the people who know what they are doing.

there will be no new entry level training.

the current students are using ai to pass and are unqualified.

ai is filling the internet with slop.

it is like we are speed running to idiocracy.

@RosethornRanger @benh “you must be personally assessed by someone who interprets the questionnaire depending on their expert experience”

Sounds objective af

The "posts a lot but don't really talk to each other" is *also* the communication style of the staunchest advocates of the technology. Hmm.

Similarly:

Paranthesis
Parantheses

Paranthesee isn’t a thing, aaaaaaaaagh

@Dianora what got me to post this was speech on a video, ironically.

The dude kept on saying ver-t’-see, and drove me nuts.

Vertex-singular
Vertices-plural

Vertice isn’t a thing.

I can’t believe this shit is still around.

@alexisbushnell :neomouse_hug_blahaj:

@cloudhop same with fiction. Authors no longer constrained by typing speed. Take that, Stephen King!

It's either very funny or very depressing to watch executives trip over themselves to prove who has the worst understanding of what software development actually entails.

So many people here are like, oh I wish I could move to (another country, that is also having a hard far right turn, and anti-immigrant horrors, just in a language they don’t speak)

It’s totally fine to feel you need to get away for safety and yes white cis Americans will likely face less of a threat in many places

However

I’m so irritated by the pretense that all of the current problems in the world are limited to US borders. We are going through a rough time of it.. but a lot of these problems are structurally global. ‘America is the worst’ is also a form of American exceptionalism.
