- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 2 hours ago:
I’m sure some people would still be able to code just fine on crap hardware but it’s silly to think Open Source will not suffer if access to good hardware is limited.

Just running rust-analyzer for not-so-big project requires 5GB of RAM. Inspecting libraries will start another process and I sometimes have 2 projects open at the same time. You can work without it, using simple text editor but DX will way worse and unless you’re some Rust guru you will work slower. Compilation time will be way worse on older CPU so you will iterate slower. That’s why Linus is using a Threadripper.
Running integration tests for Java project I’m working on maxes out my 16 core CPU. My co-workers with older laptops struggled to set up the development environment and build the project because they were constantly running out of RAM.
Yes, we were all writing code 20 years ago in vim with just syntax highlighting but new stacks and new tools require new hardware.

Dude, I’m coding every day and I know what hardware requirements I have. You can write some code slowly on a potato but a lot of software development requires tons of RAM and powerful CPU. Linus Torvalds is using Threadripper 9960X for a reason.

easiest way to track literally everything you do on your system.
And ban undesired activities. “We see you’re building app to track ICE agents. That’s illegal. You’re account was banned and all your data removed.”.

People don’t just use computers for gaming. If this continues people will struggle to do any meaningful work on their personal computes which is definitely not good. And I’m not talking about browsing facebook but about coding, doing research, editing videos and other useful shit.
- Comment on This is real. Big controversy regarding cheating in Olympic events because of the size of suit worn by jumpers 23 hours ago:
Yes but no one does ski jumping as a hobby. Running, skiing, cycling and pretty much any other sport can be done for fun or for health. Ski jumping is quite unique as sport that exists only at professional level where it’s all about cheating.
- Comment on This is real. Big controversy regarding cheating in Olympic events because of the size of suit worn by jumpers 2 days ago:
Ski jumping is the dumbest sport out there. There are points for style which is arbitrary and already takes it down couple of levels compared with real sports. Weight is super important so the ‘athletes’ are all starving all the time. Wind has a big influence so they have to guess when gust will happen but since it changer during the day judges will arbitrarily change the length of runway at different points of the competition. It’s barely fair. And on top of that the suit has such a huge influence that the jumpers can’t even touch it after they were certified. Like they literally can’t touch the suit they are wearing because just changing how it adjust to the body will affect the score. And now we learned that adding 1cm to the length of the suit have such a big influence that they will inject stuff in their dicks to get an advantage. This ‘sport’ is more about starving yourself, having luck and finding ways to cheat the rules then it is about athleticism.

Very interesting. I assumed that police always held privileged status in US but this could be simply because they are always portrayed like that in movies, even historical ones. The PR is definitely there. In pretty much every movie caps break the laws and ignore rights of everyone and it’s shown as something necessary and even ‘cool’. Bad guys don’t deserve rights…

In Spain when cops fuck up you simply take away their ability to work in law enforcement. It’s really that simple. In US they will just get hired by another city. The problem in US is not that this is hard to solve and requires so clever, hard to write legislation. The problem is that law enforcement always worked for the elites, not the masses and no one in power wants to change it.
- Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 2 days ago:
People will not think “oh, he just made a mistake, bless his soul”. Instead of thinking “fucking asshole” they will simply think “fucking idiot”. Just keep driving, focus and try to make less mistakes.
One time a guy rear ended me (lightly, no damage) and when we got out he said “sorry, I started breaking but it was too late”. I just laughed at how silly it sounded. Like yeah, the whole point of breaking is to stop before you hit someone. I think “sorry, I’m a bad driver” would be more honest. Hey, maybe that’s a solution? Put a neon sign that says “shitty driver, sorry” in your back window and turn it on when you make mistakes.
And don’t get me wrong, I know everyone makes mistakes. I just think "being sorry’ is simply another excuse. “It wasn’t on purpose so it’s fine”. It’s still not fine. If it’s happens rarely don’t worry and keep driving. If it happens often get some extra classes or stop driving.

People keep proposing naive solutions without realizing cops only use bodycams because they see them as net benefit for them. The technology was around for a long time but only became popular when it was sold as surveillance tool, not accountability tool. If police loses control of the footage they will simply stop using them. If you force them they will protest. Guess who the politicians will support in this fight?

- Comment on Usually a horrible interaction for all involved 5 days ago:
In Spain the law says you get 1 month salary for every year worked at the company. Last year my shit company fired me after 11 years. It wasn’t shit when I joined but at the end everyone who worked there for couple of years was hoping they will get invited to a meeting like that.
- Comment on If you had native-level fluency in a language, and don't talk in that language for a while, can you develop an accent later-on when trying to talk in that language again? 5 days ago:
Accents just kind of stick to you. If you hear specific accent long enough you will start imitating it without even knowing.

Interesting. I thought this will be another post about slop PRs and bug reports but no, it’s about open source project not being promoted by AI and missing on adoption and revenue opportunities.
So I think we definitely see (and will see more) ‘templatization’ of software development. Some ways of writing apps that are easy to understand for AI and are promoted by it will see wider and wider adoption. Not just tools and libraries but also folder structures, design patterns and so on. I’m not sure how bad this will be long term. Maybe it will just stabilize tooling? Do we really need new React state management library every 6 months?
Hard to tell how will this affect the development of proper tools (not vibe coded ones). Commercial tools struggling to get traction will definitely suffer but most of the libraries I use are hobby projects. I still see good tools with good documentation getting enough attention to grow, even fairly obscure ones. Then again, those tools often struggle with getting enough contributors… Are we going to see a split between vibe coded template apps for junior devs and proper tools for professionals? Will EU step in and found the core projects? I still see a way forward so I’m fairly optimistic but it’s really hard to predict what will happen in a couple of years.

- Comment on Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots 1 week ago:
It’s still under development and it’s hard to tell what it will do when it hits the roads. What if it’s total disaster like Cybertrack? They don’t just have to design cars. They have to design cars that people want to buy.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots 1 week ago:
I think that they were isolating Elon from real decision making for a long time but he finally took over and forced them to create the Cybertruck. To me it’s not even clear if they are still able to design cars or if Elon completely destroyed their ability to function as a car maker. Shareholders apparently still believe they can create new products but we have seen any evidence of that in years.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots 1 week ago:
I don’t think them discontinuing old models is a problem. The problem is that they were supposed to announce new models years ago. No they are closing factories and not only still didn’t announce anything, they are switching to robots. So no new models are coming. It’s a disaster. Looks like Musk took charge at the company, forced everyone to work on Cybertruck, this failed and now they don’t know what to do.
