No, it's not. You don't protect players by letting them get away with retaliation. The twat that dived in should have been given a red. End of story.
This is really poor by @FA. The governing body is supposed to protect players. It should be disputing this regulatory commission verdict by members drawn from the FA judicial panel. Max Dowman could have suffered a bad injury to his standing leg from a dangerous challenge which went unpunished. Arsenal 16-year-old shouldn’t have reacted but his frustration was understandable. Some other players might have rolled around and ensured a bad challenge was punished. Dowman didn’t. He doesn’t stay down. The FA should have shown some understanding towards Dowman. Instead, it has suspended him for three games. FA priorities all wrong: tolerating a poor challenge and some weak refereeing but punishing a kid who objected to a bad challenge that could have dealt him a serious injury. Protect players. #AFC

Um... Isn't that a derived work? The original licence possibly still holds?
There is an absolutely WILD story in this @GergelyOrosz podcast episode 1. An unnamed CTO of a cash-flow-negative company was debating doing layoffs. AI 2. He says "I don't want to hurt morale like that, I won't do it" 3. A few months later, he says to @GergelyOrosz that he's cash flow positive. WTF. How? 4. The company had been licensing a component from a licensing company that was critical for their business. 5. One day, a dev thinks "what if we got an agent to build our own?" 6. The agent does so well that they produce a BETTER, FASTER version of the component they were licensing. 7. They debate open-sourcing it, and they ask the licensing company about it 8. The licensing company panics, and says "we will pay you NOT to open-source this" 9. They also say "we'll also pay you extra so we can re-license it" 10. So a big outlay became a recurring windfall, thanks to the ingenuity of a dev asking the right question. Individual contributors have never been more powerful. Think bigger. youtu.be/mQu0zN4IvSI?si=P_v9…

Yesterday Sol left in a test that validated it no longer did a piece of functionality I told it to remove.
Current agent pet peeve is how tainted the codebase gets with artifacts from the dialogue. > tell agent to do X > agent does X, but also does Y > tell agent I don't want Y > agent removes Y, but leaves comments everywhere like "X does x; don't worry, we don't do Y"

Seems like nothing is ever good enough The constant judgemental and lack of empathy or nuance is just so, so tiring
It is insane to me that there are still devs using terminals to prompt their agents

He's at it again...
It is 2022 all over again!. Back then, developers on this site (including me) said it was literally impossible for AI models to write working code. Now, people know writing code is solved*, so they're moving to the next frontier: reviewing code is impossible!

Daresay this is one reason why Macca isn't getting a new deal
Nyoni displayed so many facets of midfield today. I already made declarative statements during pre-season about him so won’t repeat again but to do this with McDonnell and the underperforming Grav v a near £200m midfield is testament to him as a teenager.

Spoken like a true prototyper
i still hear engineers say "but that code won't be maintainable" you are never going to read it, and the next model + harness will be better and fix it now is the time to ship, not worry about maintenance

"The Liverpool Way"?
Rio and Trey imported from other academies and have excellent first touches. Koumas and McConnell came through our academy and have diabolical first touches.

Unsurprising... AI does not have taste, and it can't account for the wet layer of real human experience. More surprising - that somehow this is a surprise?
Every single project my friends show me has the same problems: 1. Bugs, crashes, memory leaks 2. Incredibly complex UI, a UX which has never had a human use it ever 3. AI design cliches 4. Awful, awful copywriting 5. They have psychosis and can't see any problems with it

Far out
It's interesting to think about how little baggage people who've never coded before bring to this agentic era. If you haven't coded before, you can't waste time doing manual code reviews, so you need to use agents to review what you ship. Your disadvantage becomes sort of an advantage that forces you to automate the process. It takes mountains for people who did the work before to let go of all methods and embrace the new ways.

Love it, but... He literally chose the worst club in SA to be part of it that's how he was feeling. City are a full production line.
This is genuinely one of the best interviews I've been part of. Thanks to former Johnny Warren Medallist Marcos Flores for sharing his story. He was the A-League’s magician. Then tragedy led him to create something far greater than football. football360.com.au/marcos-fl…

There is an incredible amount of nuance and context that matters here
prediction: it’s going to be the teams moving slowest, not fastest, on AI that open themselves up to the most cyber risk risk aversion is a risk itself

Uh oh
Everyone should focus on automating code reviews. Right now, agents can write a virtually infinite amount of code, but it's for nothing if it doesn't work. I see people clinging to "manually reviewing the code" as the only way forward. I think this is a mistake and a major bottleneck we all need to get rid of. You want people to focus their time on things only people can do. You want agents to focus on everything else. There's no one-size-fits-all solution here, but you should spend as much time as possible building a process that removes the review bottleneck.

Just had one of them completely screw up setting a database timeout config param (as part of a healthcheck). Like, unbelievably badly. It's so, so, so simple. Spec. Agent guardrails. Multiple reviews. Do I get my tokens back?
Dario Amodei: some tokens Claude produces are worth a few cents, others could be worth tens of millions of dollars. His examples: 1. Telling someone to restart their Mac: the model has said it 10 million times, worth a dollar or less 2. Telling a pharma company to move an aromatic ring to the other end of a molecule: potentially tens of millions 3. Expect pay-for-results pricing, or labor-like pricing by the hour 4. It's a new industry, so many models will be tried Today pricing is simpler: per the S-1, usage-based pricing was 80% of H1 2026 revenue and subscriptions 20%.

It's a broken ankle waiting to happen. But England
That challenge is an absolute disgrace. Anyone who had ability as a kid always had to deal with a grown man “letting you know he was there”. There is nothing noble or admirable about this, what kind of “hard man” tries to cut a 16 year old in two?

He kicked him???
I’m sorry but how on earth has Max Dowman been sent off here? That’s one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen a referee make, that’s a genuine disgrace from the official

So close and so far
Tests are nearly useless now. I deleted all test suites running in my projects. It is literally saving me $$ and also making me faster. I've asked a few popular maintainers, and they seem to agree that new tests/contributions coming off agents are not worth. In Infact, they are worse than the usual branch-coverage work developers do lol.
