when you need compute so bad

Your TCP handshake can give away which OS you run, whatever your User-Agent says. Joe Dye of @byteful takes #ExtractSummit2026 down to the packets. #WebScraping #Proxies

@timClicks I used to think Rust's libraries were unusually well built.

[Dye @dye_dev]

@lonelyspeck Also found that microphone capsules are all that matters. Has made building my own mics so much easier.

[Dye @dye_dev]

I'll never trust Claude for anything important

[Nick Khami @skeptrune]

accidentally said 'probably bad' instead of 'directionally incorrect' and they kicked me out of sf

[Dye @dye_dev]

Very excited to be talking about this.

[🦀 RustLab @rustlab_conf]

🌐 What if your server could choose how it looks on the network?

Joe Dye explores TCP/IP fingerprint spoofing, user-space networking, and how Rust powers high-performance systems serving thousands of requests per second.

Networking, but with a twist.

🤣

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

This is exactly right. Source code is on the verge of becoming like assembly.

The next step is getting rid of “source code” entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI.

[Tim McNamara @timClicks]

Very normal discourse.

Maybe the most information dense book I've ever read.

Fable is not actually bumping you to Opus 4.8 bc you tripped a safety filter, but bc the AGI did a deep search into you before you even sent the prompt, and it determined you to be a member of the permanent underclass and it's just doing its job of keeping you there for eternity

[“paula” @paularambles]

if fable 5 agrees to do your work instead of downgrading you to opus, you’re in the permanent underclass

[Timur Gok @timatbyteful]

me thinking about what to do after fable just cleared my kanban board

[Dye @dye_dev]

Can't wait to give my talk.

[🦀 RustLab @rustlab_conf]

🥳 We are extremely glad to announce the Schedule and the Speakers of RustLab 2026!

@YuriRDev BRB, shutting the company down, turns out we were just an overly engineered if-statement all along

[Dye @dye_dev]

@nickfloats Why does every AI "artist" also happen to have a complete lack of taste?

[Dye @dye_dev]

Buy the company too, please 😍

[JoltPicks @JoltPicks]

@dye_dev @vxunderground Dude my job isn’t moved overseas, you’re from the UK man. I can literally buy you.

[Dye @dye_dev]

@JoltPicks @vxunderground So your reading comprehension is poor. Maybe that's why you couldn't stop your job from getting sent overseas.

[Dye @dye_dev]

@vxunderground These replies are crazy. Why are they not mad at the companies using foreign labour and paying slave wages, rather than the workers in these poor countries taking any opportunity they have to better their lives.

[Dye @dye_dev]

@vmfunc most reasonable people would say providing exact line numbers to the issues you're mentioning is more than fair. won't sway the brainrotten though :(
