Initial impressions (and pelicans) of Claude Opus 4.5, Anthropic's new "best model in the world for coding" released this morning. https://simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/24/claude-opus/
From Smedly Butler's "I Was a Gangster Fir Capitalism" speech 90 years ago, to the 2 gulf wars and etc for oil, to silicon valley killing Vine and then petitioning the US gov to block it's replacement in Tiktok they don't control, it's so frustrating to see the American experiment is just one of being a country for companies and capitalism, and how the government will always serve companies whims first always working to pacify what of the rest of the world it can for them,
One thing about bullies, is they desire to control the narrative.
When squid/transistor-cafe decided I was a bad person years back, they shut down anyone who said otherwise, and intentionally reached out to friends to spread false rumors.
Its up to you to call out people who behave like this. Otherwise they win simply by signal to noise ratio.
사주팔자/명리학/토정비결 이런것은 언어모델에게 물어보시면 안되는데 애시당초 인터넷에 있는 거의 대다수 데이터가 엉망진창이고 너무나도 일관성이 없어서... 물어보시면 안됩니다 정말 아무말하는것을 볼수 있음 ㅎㅎ 사주팔자의 많은 원문 자료는 아마도 중국쪽에서 나온 서적이 많겠지만 문화혁명때 거의 대다수가 날라간것 같고요 어떻게 그래도 남은 자료로 힘들게 배워서 어떻게 잘 아시게 된 분들은 경험/지식을 공유하지 않으므로 믿을수 있는 자료가 거의 없습니다 (..)

This isn’t targeted at anyone in specific - I have had the conversation like 6 times this week,
Americans -
You need a work visa to work in another country, -even remote- unless they allow digital nomad
You can’t just go to most countries on a tourist visa and start looking for a visa sponsor & job

if your company has gotten to the point where you are paying more than $1000/mo for a wiki (confluence, sharepoint, etc) you should probably hire a librarian

Am Ende wird alles wieder Mycel...oder so...und wegen des gestrigen späten Totensonntagskonzerts hat sich der #fungday von sunday auf monday verschoben. Nun aber zum Thema: Der Fruchtkörper zum heutigen #fungday heißt Shiitake. Zusammen mit Topinambur, Aubergine und Paprika ergibt das eine erdige Pilzpfanne, die dank Sojasauce und den Basiszutaten als umami-esk gelten darf.
It’s the kind of cold rainy day where you curl up by the window with a cup of tea and a good book. Hope your boss doesn't notice.

Inspired by perfnow.nl, I've dusted off drafts of my network and device situation analysis. Good news/bad news: devices and networks are improving, but web page payloads are swelling.
The result is predictable: the web is usable for the wealthy, but less so for everyone else. This is an ethical crisis for frontend:

New, by me: Is your Android TV streaming box part of a botnet?
"On the surface, the Superbox media streaming devices for sale at retailers like BestBuy and Walmart may seem like a steal: They offer unlimited access to more than 2,200 pay-per-view and streaming services like Netflix, ESPN and Hulu, all for a one-time fee of around $400. But security experts warn these TV boxes require intrusive software that forces the user’s network to relay Internet traffic for others, traffic that is often tied to cybercrime activity such as advertising fraud and account takeovers."
The story looks closely at what Superbox is, how it operates, and what it appears to do on the sly. Spoiler: A Censys researcher found that installing the apps that allow these channels to stream enrolls the user's IP in a residential proxy service, and that these devices include powerful network discovery and remote access tools like Tcpdump and Netcat.
Overall, the Superbox is just one brand in an ocean of no-name Android-based TV boxes that are widely available and that either come pre-infected with malware or require malicious apps to use.

“Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy”
We need to consume.
The average American now holds onto their smartphone for 29 months, according to a recent survey by Reviews.org, and that cycle is getting longer. The average was around 22 months in 2016.

I'd also like to remind everyone that just a couple months back Windows 11 just killed people's SSDs, this wasn't resolved for WEEKS.
#Linux really isn't perfect, but at this point I'd say the things it's not perfect at are far less bad than what Windows isn't perfect at.
I think I'm finally coming around to understanding what librarians actually do, and why people I occasionally see people arguing for hiring librarians at companies.
It's actually really simple: any formally organized group of people produces and consumes a lot of information. The job of a librarian is to organize and maintain that information.

🌗 GrapheneOS 因警方恐嚇指控，將伺服器基礎設施遷離法國
➤ 開源隱私專案因國外壓力，被迫遷移伺服器
✤ https://www.privacyguides.org/news/2025/11/22/grapheneos-migrates-server-infrastructure-from-france-amid-police-intimidation-claims/
開源隱私作業系統 GrapheneOS 因面臨法國警方的恐嚇指控，宣佈將其伺服器基礎設施全面遷離法國。該計畫指出，法國已不再是「開源隱私專案」的安全之地。雖然法國用戶仍可繼續使用該系統，但網站和討論伺服器將遷移至國外。此次遷移主要涉及 Mastodon、Discourse 和 Matrix 等服務，將轉移至加拿大多倫多的本地及共享伺服器，而核心網站基礎設施則由德國的 Netcup 公司負責託管。GrapheneOS 強調，其伺服器不收集敏感用戶資料，故遷移不影響簽章驗證和降級保護等服務。開發者們也因對歐盟《聊天控制法案》的支持以及對法國媒體不實

Tor is upgrading its relay encryption with a new encryption algorithm called Counter Galois Onion (CGO). Upcoming Arti and Tor releases will both support CGO to prevent attackers from tampering with encrypted traffic, adds forward secrecy, and brings Tor's encryption up to modern standards.

"이들 중 안창호 위원장과 김용원·한석훈·이한별·강정혜 위원은 지난 2월10일 ‘내란 옹호’ 비판이 제기된 ‘윤석열 방어권 안건’에 찬성해 내란 특검에 내란 선동·선전 혐의 등으로 고발된 바 있다. 이들은 “헌법 존중 티에프가 공무원의 인권을 침해한다”고 주장했다고 한다. 이날 김용원 위원은 “헌법존중 티에프를 시행하는 정부를 직권조사해야 한다”고 발언한 것으로 전해졌다."

That OCaml PR is textbook open source in the era of vibe coding...
It's got everything:
- PR submitted without the author acknowledging they didn't write it and don't understand it.
- Copyright laundering.
- "I just wanted to get it done!" versus maintainers who know they have to live with code contributions for years.
- Zero-effort pasting LLM output as reply to real people's thoughtful questions. (At least the author acknowledged what they were doing that time.)
- It doesn't matter that it's hard to review because "AI has a very deep understanding of how this code works."
- "Beats me. AI decided to do so and I didn't question it."
If this is our new world then it's going to turbocharge maintainer burnout. 
(If you don't want to read a quite long often depressing thread, would still recommend reading this well reasoned comment by one of the maintainers:
https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/14369#issuecomment-3556593972 )
@projectgusGus this is why Amaranth has a blanket "no AI" contribution policy: you could argue about its social-scale problems but my view is that it fades in comparison to "if I have to deal with slop being submitted I will simply choose to not take submissions from an open set of people at all"
"no AI PRs" is a compromise, with the other option being "the only way to get your code in is to be from the same guild"
A commonly-misunderstood aspect of computer security is that you are battling computers.
No. That is not right at all. Computers are barely involved.
You are battling humans who eat apathy and coordination problems.
