I know this isn't novel but I use Emacs and write Linux kernel code in C, please assume I am permanently behind all technological curves

Not really using LLMs to generate code yet but they're great at helping me name types and functions, which is actually an area where I get stuck. Like hey Claude I've got this struct that I use for this purpose, can you suggest a name for it that isn't seven words long?

blocked the NYT PR account here that argues with critics.

It's not even wrong on the merits much of the time, but there's something unwholesome and cowardly about the anonymous, non-attributable nature of it.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

β€˜You’re killing her!’: Witnesses recount horrific Mission Bay crash where 2-year-old died Bystanders tried to lift an SUV after its driver pinned a mother and child in Mission Bay, say witnesses.

Unpopular opinion but turning right at a red light should not be legal in San Francisco (or anywhere else). Right on red makes horrors like this all too possible. sfstandard.com/2026/03/03/m...

Chuckling at a shitty Texas Republican going down in a primary, choosing not to learn even one (1) fact about the guy who beat him

If the Spurs win this one, they won't be the only Texans tonight to tip their hats to their opponents and compliment them for running an effective Cam Payne.
