Feeling sad about AI September 11, 2026 [Programming, Rust, Tech, Videos]This video doesn't contain any code: feel free to skip it if you like, but either way I'm going to try to keep it short, so see you on the other side :-). Also, this video isn't about the ethics of AI - you can read how I feel about that in my article Why I don't use AI. And it's not about whether AI "works". It's about how I...

Glacier changes are traditionally quantified in terms of total (regional) mass and area loss, but such metrics do not fully capture the disappearance of individual glaciers. Yet every glacier, no matter how small, can matter. Beyond their contribution to sea-level rise or regional water resources, glaciers hold important cultural, ecological, and societal value, often deeply rooted in local landsc...

If coding is solved, what now?: Measuring the sloppiness of code LLMs have become almost perfect at generating code, but that isn’t the end of the story. Just because the code is formally correct doesn’t mean that it is not introducing unnecessary abstractions, creating duplicates, or just making bad decisions overall. This is not a groundbreaking observation, most people who have vibe-coded a pro...

The Waymo effect: how AI is quietly making research less collaborative How frictionless technologies teach us to prefer our own company – and why research leaders should worry. On a recent trip to San Francisco I did the thing that every visitor to San Francisco now does: I summoned a car with no one in it. The Waymo arrived with the serene confidence of a machine that has never once worried about...

RTK (Rust Token Killer) filters and compresses terminal output before the AI agent reads it. With over 79k GitHub stars today, RTK is one of the most popular tools to make AI coding cheaper. One X post saying RTK could cut Claude Code tokens by up to 60% reached 313K views. Yet JetBrains’s SkillsBench run found no savings. The README has a disclaimer: RTK cuts up to 90% of the bash output your age...

Claude, our consumer product, is only available to people over 18 years. You’ll need to confirm you’re 18 or over while setting up an account. When we detect signals that you may be under 18, we'll ask you to verify your age before you can continue using Claude. How this works We have safety systems in place to detect if people under 18 may be using Claude and we’ll disable accounts based on indic...

Resist "AI"! Yes, the âAI1 Genieâ seems actually to be useful. But it is also seductive, selectively harmful, and in important ways harmful to us all. Executive, manager, consultant, developer, ordinary person: Resist! Mea Culpa I do not use any of the programming âAIsâ, not even whatever is built into JetBrains IDEs, and I do not intend to. However, my hands are not squeaky clean. After trying Ka...
