Dear contributors to projects I work on,

If you are programming with LLMs under the assumption that they will fill in the gaps in your own abilities, I can assure you that they will not. I prefer to not spend my time reviewing code you submit that you do not understand.

Thank you,
Jeremy

There's not only an #Apple Steve. MS has their own stereotypical #DotNet version.

Talking of Steve-like jobs, this particular CEB Distinguished Engineer at #Microsoft sure loves to sprinkle #AI fairydust into disbelieving eyes, with 💫 dizzying enthusiast levels:

> “Our North Star is 1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code”

Rookie: What should I do?

CEB: We'll keep you out of the wind first few days. 250k LoC is fine.

I really struggle with the concept of “deserving” good things. It just feels… off to me.

I don’t understand why it matters. I think I want to live in a world where we do good things because we can and because people matter to us, not because those people are owed it or have earned it.

What good I do in the world I don’t do because the other person deserves it, I do it because I want to be the kind of person that does good. I don’t understand why anyone cares whether it’s deserved.

지금 이야기 듣고 있는데, 사내 게시판에는 장기 휴가 중의 본인상으로 올라왔고 구체적인 내용을 다들 몰랐다고 합니다. 왜 장기 휴가 중인지, 왜 돌아가셨는지. 그저 건강이 안 좋아서 그랬다고 생각했다고. 가해자 쪽도 그만두었다고만 들었고 사유는 몰랐다고 하고요. 그렇게 보니 "카카오대표가 올렸다는 추모의 글"도 맥락을 거세하고 올리지 않았을까요.-_-a++++++

“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism”

Among the laws going into effect this year in New Jersey: minimum wage increase and allowing 17-year-olds who are turning 18 before general election to vote in primaries.

"By allowing these 17-year-olds to vote in primary elections we are allowing them to weigh in on which candidates they want representing their party in the general election, just like everyone else who will be voting in November."

I will be blocking anyone using AI for any reason until it becomes so good I can't tell the difference. At that stage I will quit social media entirely as there would no longer be a point.

I’m starting out the new new year with a positive discovery about the Canadian government. I’m sure this is no surprise to many, but today is the first time I noticed a federal program contact page that includes a video relay option. Deaf callers can download an app and then - when they need to contact the government regarding whatever - connect to an an operator who knows ASL to act as their interpreter/relay.

This makes me very happy.

Hi #fediverse! I'm working on Hackers' Pub, a small #ActivityPub-powered social platform for developers and tech folks.

We're currently drafting a content #moderation (#flag/#report) system and would really appreciate any feedback from those who have experience with federated moderation—we're still learning.

Some ideas we're exploring:

• Protecting reporter anonymity while giving reported users enough context to understand and improve
• Graduated responses (warning → content removal → suspension) rather than jumping to bans
• Using LLM to help match reports to code of conduct provisions
• Supporting ActivityPub Flag activity for cross-instance reports

Our guiding principle is that moderation should be about growth, not punishment. Expulsion is the last resort.

Here's the full draft if you're curious: https://github.com/hackers-pub/hackerspub/issues/192.

If you've dealt with moderation in federated contexts, what challenges did you run into? What worked well? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Don’t give in to despair. Amid bad news, fake news, billionaire takeover, conflict and creeping authoritarianism, remember: it’s not too late. Every fraction of a degree, every action, still matters.
