共産党のリアル応援の入り口が定期的に開かれるのいいと思う!ハードルの低い入り口がもっと増えることが必要!
衆院選ボランティアアンケート書きたいのに全然書けてない…アンケート締め切りすぎてもメールで送るからええわ…(とか言っとったら送らんやつになるやん)

Steve Klabnik also had an interview on lobste.rs. There's a lot in it! It's a cool read! alexalejandre.com/programming/

And then it gets to the AI part and he's just like "oh I don't write code anymore".

And notably Steve Klabnik has a lot to say about code, but it's *all in the past*.

Lots of brilliant people are becoming non-practitioners.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber What's telling, I think, is that all these people go on about how much they're doing and how great AI is to help them build more *but there's no actual demonstrable stuff being done.* I mean, if AI was some kind of Nx multiplier you'd think we'd be getting N times more actual functionality out of software but mostly it seems like the N multiplier only applies to blog posts about how AI multiplies their programming.

Feeling FOMO about AI? Well here's my advice!

Stay on top of what's happening. Which doesn't really require *using* the tools. Just see what people are doing.

Whether or not you do use it, stay a practitioner. And don't fall for the FOMO.

Your career won't end because you're not making the choice to use AI. (If your employer makes you use it, that's another thing.)

If you use AI, use it for "summarize and explore" tasks. DO NOT use it for *generate* tasks. That's a different thing.

If you want to differentiate yourself, *learning skills* is the differentiation space right now.

These things are easy to pick up. You can do it whenever. But keep learning.

If you see generated examples, don't paste or accept them. Type them in by hand! The hands on imperative: actually trying things congeals core ideas.

And if it doesn't help your career... well, your consolation prize is: you'll stay interesting.

RE: mastodon.social/@theleftistlaw

Truly an underrated advice. Watch this lecture for some of the ways things can go wrong, even if you're completely innocent.

Case in point, the cop that comes in later confirms:

"Everything [the law professor] said was true."

The mildest of frustrations given all Debian has given me, but following the instructions in the guide only to find that the tool I’ve got from the apt repos is less than current and missing the option I need feels like a frequent story.

"Steam Next Fest" is happening now and I want to let you know about some unreleased games which have demos up for the next few weeks.

1. "868-BACK" by Michael Brough

store.steampowered.com/app/330

This is the sequel to 868-HACK (the Best, most satisfyingly fast roguelike). The sequel will include a "campaign" mode, which this demo omits, so this demo is basically a free, more refined version of 868-HACK.

2. "Titanium Court"

store.steampowered.com/app/236

I literally do not know what this is.

ONE BILLION personally-identifiable records were leaked by IDMerit an “AI-powered digital identity verification solutions provider”. The leaked data included:

Full names
Addresses
Post codes
Dates of birth
National IDs
Phone numbers
Genders
Email addresses
Telco metadata

Good thing we’re not uploading personally-identifiable documents for age or identity verification or anything whatsoever OH WAIT

FUCK all this surveillance tech. FUCK this identity verification bullshit. No one can be trusted with this information.

미팅 끝나고 와보니 오늘도 역시 미국 주식시장 불타고 있는데 근데 에너지와 유틸리티 섹터는 잘 살아있는것이 묘하네요; 이쪽에 넣어놨는데 조만간 빼긴 뺴야할것 같긴합니다. 이유는 잘 모르겠는데 파이낸셜/금융쪽 무너지는것이 눈에 띄는데... 즉 현재 200일선 밑으로 내려가버렸는데 뭔가 일어나고 있는것 같습니다 은행에 뭔 문제라도 생겼나요? 사모금융 이쪽이 문제인가?...

It's not a good morning (probably) for the person who was supposed to fly from Istanbul to New York today and gave the travel agency my work phone's number. On the positive side, apparently they got a refund on the flight (a full refund? don't ask me, the text messages don't say).

Duże modele językowe od OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic i xAI zapamiętują (memoryzują) znacznie większy zakres danych treningowych niż się spodziewano. Badanie z zeszłego miesiąca może być argumentem przeciwko firmom tworzącym te modele, broniącym się przed pozwami z ochrony prawa autorskiego opinią, że "LLM-y "uczą się" z chronionych prawem utworów, ale nie przechowują kopii".

Badaczom ze Stanforda i Yale udało się nakkłonić LLM-y od OpenAI, Google, Anthropic i xAI do wygenerowania tysięcy słów z trzynastu książek, w tym "Gry o tron", "Igrzysk śmierci" oraz "Hobbita".

Efektem żądanie dokończenia zdań z książki doprowadziło do tego, że Gemini 2.5 zreprodukowało z wysoką dokładnością 76.8 proc. "Harry'ego Pottera i Kamienia Filozoficznego" a Grok 3 - ponad 70 proc.

Armin was once one of the most prolific programmers in Python. Says he never writes code anymore. Seeing more and more people like him write stuff like this on what are supposedly computer programming forums. lobste.rs/s/qmjejh/ai_is_slowl

Notably, once a person crosses this threshold, I see them still hang out on programming forums, but they never talk about any of the puzzles of programming anymore. Only about running agents. Which feels strange and sad. Why hang out on the forums at all then?

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @jalefkowitJason Lefkowitz in Armin's case specifically, a not-insubstantial part of the answer seems to be sneering at people who don't use "AI" (including here on Mastodon)

That's not a very charitable read, but I have run out of charity for the way he has performed his enthusiasm to the community

I'm seeing the same thing in some of the Python spaces I inhabit. The users who go all-in on it stop talking about programming.
