Bissell are sold for pets, all the marketing is about pets.
I don't have pets, I have a kid, why nobody told me about that thing!

I just needed a Bissell in my life.

Using kaitai.io to create a parser for ZIM files, almost there.
I did write one manually in Go, several years ago.
There is a twist though, the Kaitai one was 100% AI generated with Qwen Max and Gemini 😲

Top: bear and rabbit look at halloween decorations, a ghost and a pumpkin. Bear: “What do you think?” Rabbit: “It’s too early to decorate for Halloween. It’s still summer.” Bottom: the ghost has sunglasses on and a towel around its neck, it’s holding ice cream & a hot dog. The pumpkin has sunglasses and a hat on. Bear: “Is this better”

Last night I've tested Qwen3 Next on a complex coding task, involving a C++ SDK and CGO, Gemini 2.5 pro completely hallucinated an answer and faked the code, where Qwen outputs did compile and did work first shot.
Next can run on consumer hardware 😲

Go is in a different league, if you don't mind the goroutine costs, (99.9% you won't) then it's a dead simple mental model.

I wish Python could have solved async the same way as Go, since we are okay with the performance penalties when using Python already.

Zig new async I/O is fascinating if successful because it may solve that issue, the sync/async choice is just function parameter, just like an allocator would be.

Asynchrony is not concurrency.

As an ex Pythonista, one reason against async adoption is really that you have to taint all functions with async then maintain two APIs.

The same problem exists in the Rust ecosystem.

Python has had async for 10 years -- why isn't it more popular?

After several months of Helix I realize I can't use vim anymore, it does not make any sense, sorry for the vim ppl offended :)

Something very strange is going on
There is a seemingly coordinated effort to FLIP FLOP on Al. All of the execs who were hyping Al to death just a few weeks ago are now claiming that Al is a bubble, that AGI is nowhere near, and that Al will have a much smaller impact than anticipated.
> Altman called it a bubble
> Eric Schmidt said that AGI is basically bullshit
> Matt Garman (AWS CEO) downplayed its impact
WHY the sudden narrative switch?
WHO gave the orders?
I swear, it's like they're all part of some cult. They all embrace the same talking points all at once, and abandon them all at once.

We just published a deep dive on spatial joins in DuckDB by @maxxen.bsky.social.

In this blog post, Max explains how spatial joins evolved in DuckDB and how the current operator harnesses R-Trees.

Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 is pure joy, can run on consumer hardware, non-thinking (not too much token consumed) yet kind of self fixing itself.
What a time to be alive!
