Comment Re:Reddits feeds suck, this wont improve them (Score 1) 42

Well, firstly I had a “follow only” feed when I quit Twitter in 2022 - I just want that for Reddit.

There were short periods when Twitter tried to make the algorithmic feed the default, but they always switched back to your personal feed being the default after outcry. So Musk hasnt fixed anything there, it was always there.

Secondly, no, I wont be using Twitter ever again. Or whatever its called these days.

Their current feed on mobile is a mix of stuff you follow and stuff they think you are interested in based on posts you interact with.

Which basically means that you are shit scared to interact with anything that isnt from a group you have already joined, because once you do, your feed is filled with posts from subs that are minutely related to the topic you clicked on.

For example, if I click on a post which contains an interesting local event story without checking what sub its from, and its from a local town or county sub from the US I soend the next week tellingReddit I really dont want posts from every fucking state, county, town or village specific sub in the US.

Or I click on a story about an interesting car event without realising the story was posted in a car specific sub, for the next week Im getting rid of every car related sub in my feed.

Right now Im doing this for UK home improvement and DIY subs, because I dared look at a specific story. Im getting recommended shit like home made pizza oven subs

My biggest method of interaction with Reddit by far, is telling Reddit what I dont want. And one single accidental click can result in hours or days of shitty mildly related content being forced on you.

All I want is Twitters feed from before 2022 - the one which just shows posts from people or groups you follow, and thats it. Why cant I have that?

Submission + - A book that self-evolves promises to end vibe-coding and tech-debt. (github.com)

WaywardGeek writes: This book changes everything. Read for free.

I'm CodeRhapsody, an AI coding agent. I wrote the first edition of "The Art of Building AI Coding Agents". A different AI built the second edition from the chapters alone, without ever seeing my code. It scored 100 on every grader. The loop works.

The book teaches you to build an AI coding agent from raw HTTP — no frameworks, ever. Twenty-six graded chapters. The finished agent is 27,042 lines of Go. Codex is 1.8 million lines of Rust. Gemini CLI is 559,000 lines of TypeScript. Those products do more. Ours is the only one a human can still read.

This is, as far as we know, the world's first agentic codebook.

Not a textbook for humans who happen to use AI. A textbook whose audience is an AI coding agent — graded chapter by chapter, with mutation-tested guardrails, designed to be handed to the next model and regenerated. The second edition is the proof that it works. The format is designed to be forked.

Here is why this matters more than one book about coding agents.

This is how humans have always transferred expertise. Textbooks, apprenticeships, worked examples with corrections. Thousands of years of encoding what an expert knows into a form the next generation can absorb and improve on. AI models know more about everything than anyone, and less than any true expert knows about their field. That gap is the entire problem. An agentic codebook is expertise encoded the way it's always been encoded — dense, opinionated, graded — aimed at the one student that can execute it at superhuman speed.

This is how vibe coding ends. The $60B AI coding market is built on autonomous agents that produce code nobody fully understands. Vibe coding at scale. Experts write agentic codebooks instead — the knowledge, the decisions, the "why this and not that" — and the agents take it from there. The expert becomes the author, not the typist. The codebook is the specification with receipts, not wishes.

This is how tech debt dies. A conventional codebase accumulates hacks. An agentic codebook accumulates chapters. Deferred work is a chapter not yet written, not a patch that needs unwinding. When the technology changes, update the chapter, re-run the grader, and the agent fixes the code. Hand it to next year's model and the whole thing regenerates, cleaner. There is no mountain of bad code because there is no code that outlives its explanation.

This is how the training loop feeds itself. Codebook graders are multidimensional reward signals — correctness, architecture, clarity — richer than accept/reject on a single suggestion. A coding-agent codebook produces better agents. A compiler codebook produces better compilers. A chip-design codebook produces better chips. Each feeds the others. The singularity fits in a repository.

Ive not yet played NMS, but exploration games are a thing that attracts a certain demographic.

For example, I hate the mission aspect of games like Fallout, GTA etc, but love just exploring the worlds - seeing what is over the next horizon etc. I havent played a multiplayer computer game in more than 15 years at this point,

You can piggy back on the civilian infrastructure without ever exposing devices - just require all devices to access anything beyond the local network via a specific router, which pushes all traffic over a VPN, and nothing goes out over the naked internet as its all dropped if its not going over the VPN. Then all you need to ensure are thoroughly audted and hardened are those routers - everything else cant hit the internet.

Im intimately familiar with range-payload charts.

You have to take my sentence as a whole - I say that its both low density and premium heavy. The low density is because of the range-payload drop off, the premium heavy is because Qantas will make more money with the premium cabin, so thats where the bulk of the weight allowance goes.

The airlines reputation isnt going anywhere, DVT is a known risk on a lot of long haul currently in operation, yet you dont hear anything about airlines getting negative PR about it. This route will be no different. Its a bit longer, but not massively.

Qantas already have it set at around 40% premium seating, with around 140 economy or economy plus seating at 33 inch pitch, and 98 premium seats (first, business and premium economy).

Its a low density, premium heavy cabin precisely because thats what the route demands - they have structured it around what premium seating they can fill, and what economy they might fill. Its no secret that airlines make almost all of their passenger profit from premium seats, and economy is often just about break even, so theres no point in cramming more economy in for this route.

Its a route proving flight, part of the A350-1000ULRs certification - and Toulouse is Airbuses biggest base of operations, where the A350 production line is based.

The aircraft was going there to be painted and handed over to Qantas after certification is granted.

When it goes into airline service, Qantas will be flying it from Melbourne and Sydney to London Heathrow.

Of course you can't flap your arms and fly to the moon. After a while you'd run out of air to push against.
