last year I worked to make the end of glitch.com as good as it could be for its users and our team. I still miss that site and I miss my team. I want to find something that I can care about in the coming years as much as I cared about Glitch. I'd love to talk if you know of anything that I could be a part of.

The team shares an update on their first week.

"To me it does feel like a community. It feels like a bunch of strangers, politely, friendly, jokily [saying] 'Here's where I am!' I've really liked it!"

Auswandern in die „Heimat“: Spanien schenkt Millionen Latinos die Staatsbürgerschaft

So behebt man den Arbeitskräftemangel!

" Eigentlich wollte Spanien nur ein paar mehr Spanisch sprechende Arbeitskräfte ins Land holen und das mit einer Geste der Wiedergutmachung für Opfer der Franco-Diktatur verbinden. Doch der Ansturm von Menschen, der nun auf Spanien zurollt, sprengt sämtliche Dimensionen: Kolumbianer, Venezolaner, Argentinier drängen nach Spanien - und nun auch immer mehr Latinos aus den USA. "

なんでこんなにむかついているのかと考えていた。「「急を迫る決断で致し方ない」「形にすることが先である」など、女性はもっともらしい理屈で後回しにされ続けることが当然であり、そこに女性がいないことは瑣末な問題であると扱い続けて良く、まずはボーイズクラブ。それを疑問視するなど、せっかくの場を乱す行為はやめろ追随しろ称賛しろ支えろ波に乗って話はそれからだ」を、2026年になってまた見せられている、ずっと同じものを見せられていることに心底嫌気がさしているからなんだと思う。

»Künstliche Intelligenz — GPT-4o macht nach Code-Training verstörende Aussagen:
Werden LLMs auf Schwachstellen trainiert, zeigen sie plötzlich Fehlverhalten in völlig anderen Bereichen. Forscher warnen vor Risiken.«

Meiner Meinung nach kommt dies alles andere als überraschend, wie seht ihr es? Ich bin sogar der Meinung, dass sehr viel mehr Fehler anfälliger Code deswegen erstellt wird.

Holy shit folks! A big breakthrough tonight! I got my iPhone 5 to sync with my !!

This was never allowed by Apple as Mac OS X 10.6.8 is the official minimum OS required by iPhone 5. But I knew this limitation was artificial as my iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 are both running iOS 6.1.3... so what could the actual difference be???

This is my first reverse engineering project and it ended up being only a 1 character change, but it took many many many hours in GDB to figure out which character. I promise I will write a blog post.

But in the mean time, please enjoy the screenshots while I buy myself a 64GB iPhone 5 so I can get some content synced!

I absolutely understand many, many people do not like AI generated videos. I don't like them either.

However, do not get threatening and sanctimonious and dog pile on someone who has posted something in good faith, clearly didn't know it was AI, and doesn't have the skills to spot it.

Because people become terrified of posting anything for fear of it being AI and getting lambasted for it.

AI is DESIGNED to fool people. And when you beat up someone who is fooled, you're beating up a victim.

"ai"

There's a saying how a good programmer is a lazy programmer.

And I've always agreed to that. If there's a way to smartly automate stuff, why not!

But I've recently observed how LLM-based laziness is bad laziness.

I've observed people "prompt" the "ai search engine" or "assistant" several times after it should have been clear that the correct answer wasn't forthcoming ...

and not listen to an actual person in the room (me) trying to tell them an answer that would actually work ...
