I've been seeing "It's not x, it's y" on YouTube a lot now part of the script someone is reading across many random topics and channels. Dunno if it's frequency illusion or real, but it seems real. "Here's the kicker," there's so many of tells it seems obvious when I hear it or read it. Guess it's not surprising people grinding out content are using content bazooka to help. Just a new type of dystopian vibe. The algorithm demands content and the talking head is devoid of original thought. Is this a type of reverse centaur?

sort of looks like it was made with mobile in mind but I can't get it to work.

I'm one of those people. I don't really use jj, but want to give it another try. Think I'd feel more comfortable letting ai mess with jj because of its excellent ability to undo/redo (op log).

doesn't come off as llm to me. Funny, comments like this exist on every blog post shared here. Don't think there's a way to escape it unless you video yourself typing or something..

I can't wait to try it. Love that it's keyboard layout agnostic. A lot of other good sounding ideas in the docs. Especially inspiration from Emacs as everything being an editable buffer. There's always some massive tradeoffs between editors though. Guess I'll have to see.

First time hearing about this tool and person. Just looked for a youtube video about it and he was recently interviewed and sounds very serious / bullish on this agentic stuff. I mean he's saying stuff like if you're still using IDEs you're a bad engineer. Basically you're 10x slower than people good at agenic coding. HR going to be looking for reasons for fire these dinosaurs. I'm paraphrasing, but not exaggerating. I mean it's shilling FOMO and his book. Whatever. I don't really care. I'm more concerned where things are headed.

Hand roll something on k8s. Yaml seems unavoidable in that ecosystem. :)

>ask it why
Always cracks me up asking the LLM why it said something like it really knows and won't just make up something plausible.
Scary thing is how similar we are in this regard. People confabulate and rationalize things the time, but it's especially apparent in people who engage in denial of illness (anosognosia) due to brain damage. One well documented example is stroke damaging the right hemisphere of the brain and paralyzing the left side of the body. Some will deny their paralyzed arm is paralyzed; Make up all sorts of excuses if cross examined / confronted with evidence of illness [0], or practically hallucinate their arm working, fail to notice it's not working etc. Video goes into like half a dozen experiments least. Mini spoiler: can ask someone with similar brain damage a ridiculous question "why did you just do x" (when did didn't do anything) and they'll confabulate an answer. Reminds me of split brain patients videos rationalizing why they did something (speaking left side of the brain) that was communicated visually only to the right hemisphere. [1].
Anyways, I was rewatching the anosognosia video the other day for the first time in like a decade and it really made me wonder how many evolutionary brain specializations it would take to more closely mimic human behavior in a machine.

Agreed. I've been working professionally with Rust for a year and it is my experience that it's rock solid.

I read the comments you linked and don't really think they literally believe Rust is magic. I dunno though I guess I could imagine a vibe coder tacitly believing that. Not saying you're wrong. I just think most people say that tongue in cheek. This saying has been around forever in the Haskell community for decades. Feels like a long running joke at this point

Just to throw one on the pile https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube for android based TV media box is great.

Pretty sure I saw some comments saying it was too inconvenient. Frictionless experience.. Convenience will likely win out despite any insanity. It's like gravity. I can't even pretend to be above this. Even if one doesn't use these things to write code they are very useful in "read only mode" (here's to hoping that's more than a strongly worded system prompt) for greping code, researching what x does. How to do x. What do you think the intention of x was. Look through the git blame history blah blah. And here I am like that cop in Demolition Man 1993 asking a handheld computer for advice on how to arrest someone. We're living in a sci-fi future already. Question is how dystopian does this "progress" take us. Everyone using llms to off load any form of cognitive function? Can't talk to someone without it being as common place as checking your phone? Imagine if something like Neuralink works and becomes ubiquitous as phones. It's fun to think of all the ways Dystopian sci-fi was and might soon me right

I was replaying Cyberpunk 2077 and trying to think of all the ways one might have dialed up the dystopia to 11 (beyond what the game does). And pervasive AI slop was never on my radar. Kinda reminds me of the foreword in Neuromancer bringing attention to the fact the book was written before cellphones became popular. It's already fucking with my mind. I recently watched Frankenstein 2025 and 100% thought gen ai had a role in the CGI only to find out the director hates it so much he rather die than use it. I've been noticing little things in old movies and anime where I thought to myself (if I didn't know this was made before gen ai, I would have thought this was generated for sure). One example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGSNhVQFbOc&t=412) cityscape background in this a outro scene with buildings built on top of buildings gave me ai vibes (really the only thing in this whole anime), yet this came out ~1990. So I can already recognize a paranoia / bias in myself and really can't reliably tell what's real.. Probably also other people have this and why some non-zero number of people always thinks every blog post that comes out was written by gen ai.

>I do hate that if you publish anything online these days, someone will accuse you of having used AI to write it.
Noticing this too. Sabine said something a while ago in one of her videos that stuck with me [0]. about people expecting proof of suffering by next year. She was talk submitting an essay, but it might as well be anything ai could have done.
