many websites (and electron apps) have a warning when you open the console saying not to paste things in there

these days I'm starting to think microsoft needs to add an "if a captcha told you to paste something in here, it's trying to hack you" warning to the run dialog...

그뭐냐 그… 이를테면 제가 큐어 프리즘이 좋다. 그런 말을 하면 저는 그저 큐어 프리즘을 좋다고 말하는 사람인것 뿐이에요. 그 발언 뒤에 들어있는 의미를 지레짐작하거나 그것의 진실성을 따지기 시작한다거나 그 아이를 저와 비교한다거나 자신의 최애를 항상 의식하면서 산다거나 하면 … 너무 나가게 되는거죠. 물론 그 말에 대해서 제가 듣고 싶은 말을 추측해서 해준다면 참 기쁠 것 같지만 사람은 모두 다르고 모든 사람한테 통하는 대화 소재는 없으니까요.

Claude Code blog post: We are modernising COBOL.

The fear among investors : AI will replace humans, billing hours will drop to zero & IT companies like IBM will go to >/dev/null

The reality: High stakes systems that runs banks, airlines, govts cannot just let a "black-box AI" rewrite their core code without massive oversight, testing, and human accountability. Otherwise, everyone will lose their money/pension/ investments.

What a mess. It is like there is no common sense left in this world 😂

RE: hachyderm.io/@jenniferplusplus

It’s all so good (of course!!), but the sections on anchoring and vigilance really draw a concern into view. A taste:

“Recently a new term has entered the discussion about AI coding: LLM burnout. This sounds to me like it's largely vigilance fatigue.”

탐라에 메인프레임 이야기가 나와서 보니 후지쯔 메인프레임 아직 팔고 있네. ㅎㅎㅎ 2030년에 판매 중지 예정이라고. SPARC 솔라리스 서버도 29년 판매 종료 예정. 그 시장은 클라우드 및 자체 개발한 ARM 프로세서 서버들로 교체하려는 듯.

메인프레임은 ARM 베이스로 옮겨서 끌고 갈 거 같았는데 확실히 일본 내수 위주로는 수익성이 안나나 보네.

Here we go again.

"The fact that the poc code does not work, we cannot reproduce, the bullet point list in the end and the mixed case in the title, all seem to indicate that this was hallucinated.

I would suggest you make a strong attempt to convince us this was not just wasting our time with AI crap because we have just about made up our minds already."

Was jetzt bei der aktuellen E-Fuels-Debatte und deren dramatische Folgen für Mieter und Mieterinnen auch sehr schön auf die Tagesordnung kommen könnte:

Soll es weiterhin erlaubt sein, Wohnraum zu besitzen, den man nicht selbst nutzt?

Und gehört entsprechend die Massenmenschhaltung in Hochhäusern aus Gründen der Daseinsfürsorge nicht besser in staatliche bzw. genossenschaftliche Hände?

저도 그렇긴 하지만 사실 잼얘소재로 쓰기 좋고 타임라인이 시끌벅적해지고 역정내는 사람이 있으니까 즐거운거예요 마치 송충이 건네주는 것처럼 시장에서 미꾸라지들 다라이에 담아놓으면 한번 톡 차주고 싶은 것처럼

folx in given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state. As of tomorrow (Thursday), driving while trans is a class-B misdemeanor ($1000 fine and up to 6 months in jail).

The zero-grace-period execution means driving to turn in your license is a crime.

Oh yeah, this bill also enacted a bathroom bounty program allowing private individuals to sue trans folx for using the restroom.

RE: mastodon.social/@tusk81/116137

“There are moments in our nation where we are tested. Not by our words, but by what we are willing to confront,” said Sky Roberts, the brother of the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre. “Today we stand at one of these moments. America is at a crossroads.”

PSA: The Amazon wishlist doxing threat is much greater and more immediate than folks might realize. Attack works like this:

Stalker who wants your address opens an Amazon seller account and lists themselves as a third party seller for any item on your public wishlist. Then, they order the item from themselves as a gift for you. Bam, they have your address.

In particular, attack does not depend on an existing third party seller having poor PII handling hygiene, like the articles have implied.
