It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! youtu.be/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=6Fsf…
I just took the bullet train from Hangzhou to Beijing. The Chinese started building the line in 2008, same year as CA project, and finished the 800-mile stretch in 2011. Three years for a distance twice as long as LA to SF!
I remember when 200tps felt impossibly fast. This is going to be crazy.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 runs at 1,521+ tok/s on Fireworks Ultrafast.
Fast enough to ship Tetris in 11 seconds, 7x faster than Claude Opus 5.5.

We can fix everything. Even the very latest M chips!
France, and the rest of Europe, could learn a lot from Japan. Beautiful country, beautiful people. Hope they keep shining the light.
There's nothing more dangerous than weak men and weak institutions. It's a provocation that'll eventually be answered by predators. Not all swords should be turned to plowshares.
Compare to Tokyo. It went from 99% native Japanese to 95% in the same period. I first visited in 2006 when it was 97%. It's almost the same now.
🇧🇪 Brussels
1955: 95% native Belgian background
2025: 21% native Belgian background
🇬🇧 London
1955: 97% native British background
2025: 36% native British background
🇳🇱 Amsterdam
1955: 98% native Dutch background
2025: 40% native Dutch background
🇩🇪 Berlin
1955: 98% native German background
2025: 57% native German background
🇦🇹 Vienna
1955: 95% native Austrian background
2025: 51% native Austrian background
🇸🇪 Stockholm
1955: 97% native Swedish background
2025: 65% native Swedish background
No wonder the people of Europe are hardening in their mood. This kind of replacement is unheard of in peace time. It's OK to notice and to object.
60% of the French say their country is undergoing replacement by non-European populations.
66% of the French view this negatively, and a refreshingly small 9% view it as favorable.

I'm particularly proud of all the internationalization work we've done. Omarchy in Chinese, Japanese, and 48 other languages, complete with input methods to match. And so many new features and apps. This is like three releases in one!
Omarchy 4.5 RC1 is available as a pre-release ISO for both x86 and ARM, as well as on the RC channel. Absolutely packed with features and improvements. Please help us test it! github.com/omacom/omarchy/re…

I used Reverse Engineer Anything to re-create raycast on @omarchy. And I was blown away! In just a couple hours I have a fully-functioning raycast-like launcher! Right now it:
* Learns your habits
* Apps + every Omarchy action in one search
* Aliases & favorites
* Keyboard-first
* Follows your Omarchy theme live, opens in ~40ms

Grok Bot is running Try Omarchy inside its own computer. So you can develop plugins and applications with it. Pretty sweet!
I now have a @Bot with its own Omarchy machine. That’s fricken cool 😅
Here it is switching themes, tiling windows and opening my markets widget. Fairly ordinary desktop stuff, until you remember who’s driving.
It means I can start delegating visual QA for my plugins. Have it open panels, try different themes, check layouts and show me what actually happens on screen.
Still some tweaks needed for cloud setups like this (help a fella out @poteto) but having another pair of eyes and a separate machine to test on is a pretty exciting step.
I gave my bot a Linux desktop. Naturally, I’m putting it to work.
You wouldn't believe the hours I spent manually testing and verifying Omarchy releases during the first year. With Prime's stellar work leading the QA effort, we can finally replace all that toil with agents 🤘
Big Omarchy QA News:
The Headline:
* Omarchy QA will start running against nightly every day. Still some huge hurdles to figure out, but that is the fun stuff.
The Meat:
Omarchy QA is going slower than I hoped for, but its getting into place. This is my second fully running agent test harness where they decide what is good.
* A nice running dashboard with cancellable states
* Jobs, suites, servers: have all the possible states and transitions you would expect from build servers. This part was the most surprising as it is really in depth how much effort you have to spend thinking about every possibility
* suite states, live updating website that ... runs fast? Yes I did something crazy... I made a cache, i know, actual crime...
** I even have an idea to make this load instant for every single user, and make updating cache contents LIGHTNING fast...
*** Fun side note. WTF ARE YOU DOING EVERYONE, WEBSITES ARE FUN TO MAKE FAST AND YOU ALL ARE MAKING HORESHIT SITES... STOP.
* ability to follow live running jobs and cancel them
The sad part is I have had no time to get the actual custom harness running fast, which is ok, but its hard. Now, starting today, I am going to be hooking up nightly builds and actually running this against production!
Will think about how to make this a public site, but for now, its private :(

We got picked up in an actual Mercedes at the airport here in Hangzhou. It was gas powered too. Felt like a significant step down from the luxury Chinese EVs I had been in the last few days. Didn't know it was this bad. Damn.
I'd never heard of the Chinese car brand that just drove us back to the hotel in Shenzhen, but the interior was as nice or nicer than a top-spec Mercedes S class and the 20-minute drive was $6. Germany should be very worried indeed.
