🚨Google wants to kill Android freedom
We've signed an Open Letter to urge #Google to keep #Android #free & #open!

思うに、与作のような生のあり方があるとして、貧困の問題と関連がないのは無理があるでしょ。
与作の背後にあるのは、過去への憧憬なんかじゃなくて、むしろサラリーマン階級の台頭でしよ。全国一律で「会社員」という階級が生じたことに応じて抽象的な過去の「日本っぽいなにか」が生じた。だから与作の舞台は具体的な「どこ」や「いつ」と名指すことができない。それは日本のどこかにあった過去でなければならない。

Scientists have detected another possible Monday arriving as early as next week. If true, this will be the 9th Monday this year. They warn that there are a little over 3 days left to prepare.
Mondays can be bad. Hug those you love and help them through it. Spend these remaining days wisely.
Wrapping up the planning
Let's wrap up the planning with some sketching, diagramming and iterating. With this part wrapping up, we're getting ever closer to actually writing some code.
"Bookmarklet that opens the mitre/cve.org page for a highlighted CVE" is single most clever idea I have ever come up with at work and I am not sure thats good or bad

Having a *tremendously* difficult day, chums. My instinct is to clam up and go all internal and self-destructive, but that is a very stupid idea and so I am telling you instead. I'M HAVING A REALLY HORRIBLE TIME AT THE MOMENT AND TODAY IS PARTICULARLY BAD. If you are moved to, I wondered if you had any good news or funny memes or pics you might like to offload onto an Internet needy. LOVE YOU. ❤️

A couple of months ago a family friend had a very serious health issue and he couldn't move or speak much. So I put together a web app with a set of phrases, connected to a game controller, in a way that he could just select phrases from the list to communicate. Luckily this person got better quickly, and this app was no longer needed, but I decided to improve this experiment and publish it as an Open Source project.
So, this is VoxEase. It can be operated with a mouse, a touch screen, a computer keyboard, a game controller using a single hand, or you can set it to scan the list of phrases automatically so you only need to press one button to pick your phrase.
It only requires a modern browser and once downloaded it works offline.
It supports multiple languages and it can also be used by people with sight impairments (it works with screen readers).
Any suggestions on how to make it better are welcome!

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.
The only mitigations are refraining from using public wishlists entirely (set any wishlists you may have to private) or using a PO box or reshipping service to conceal your real physical/final address.

S26 시리즈 구경하고 왔습니다.
- 색상과 디자인은 S25보다 취향 (카메라링, 곡률)
- 프라이버시 디스플레이는 전체적용보다는 특정 앱, 비밀번호입력 및 알림 정도만 적용해서 쓰는게 좋을듯. 신기방기하네요😀 폴더블에도 도입되었으면 좋겠습니다.
- 일반, 플러스는...왜 그랬니; 다른사양 변화 없어도 프라이버시 디스플레이만 넣었으면 박한 평가는 덜 들었을텐데...아쉽습니다. 킬러기능으로 추후 확대 적용되기를 바랍니다.

An autopsy of AI-generated 3D slop

Hot take: The primary purpose and effect of "AI" isn't theft (though it is that) or making anything better/faster. It's about devaluing art and labor. The others are true, but they're a tiny detail to those people.
It's not about stealing art. It's not about making more art faster. It's about people who've never picked up a pencil or opened PhotoShop being able to look at a piece of art and go, "Pfft! Give me 5m and some DeepAI tokens and I can make that."
It's about people who've never invested time in learning to write well going, "Oh, books? Yeah, me and ChatGPT could write a book. That's nothing special."
It's about insecure white men trying to make up for that insecurity by building a helper robot instead of by actually learning to do the thing. It's about refusing to respect the people have invested in those skills.
Ya'know what people like Elon Musk hate more than anything else? Experts. Experts who actually know what they're talking about and tell them they're wrong. So they build a "superintelligence" which they claim knows all the answers because it's read the entire internet and then they ask it questions. But then, when it doesn't answer the way they want, they tweak the code and turn it into a yes-man, while still claiming that it's smarter than every expert out there. Now the "superintelligence" that's read the entire internet agrees with them so they can't possibly be wrong!
With software engineering it's no different. It's about CEOs and middle managers who haven't written a line of code in 10 years (if they ever did) looking at their engineers and going "Pfft! It's not that hard. You're just not working hard enough. Here! Have some Claude tokens. I expect you to double your output by next month." It's not their fault for refusing to spend enough to hire good people, making their engineers sit in traffic for 2 hours a day just so they can look out over their cube kingdom, having ridiculous expectations, micro-managing, or changing the requirements every other week. It's the engineers' fault for not using enough AI. They're still searching for the mythical man-month and some guy in a nice shirt sold them a brass lamp called "AI" and told them if they rub it just the right way a genie will pop out and make the man-month real.
It's also about mediocre engineers with big egos (if you've been around, you know who I'm talking about) being able to devalue the work of others. It's about them looking down at the hard-working junior and going, "I don't need you. I have a an AI. Me and my AI buddy will do better than me and you any day" so they don't have to invest time in mentoring the next generation of coders. And it's about them looking at the people who are better engineers (as good as they claim to be) and going, "Yeah, well... You'll see! Give me some AI tokens. Me and my AI buddy will code circles around you!"
It's about ego. It's always been about ego.
The good news, is that it will fail. AI is failing to deliver across the board and the bubble is going to pop one of these days. If you're investing time and effort into learning one of those trades, I don't think it's going to instantly become irrelevant. It may look different in 5-10 years but it'll probably still be there in some form.
The bad news is that the social and epistemological damage has been done. They've already accomplished their primary objective of destroying people's faith in experts and people who are masters at their craft. Even if actual artists or engineers know better, they've done a pretty damn good job in convincing your average Joe that those people are overpaid and over-respected. And that's going to take decades to rebuild.

自分が与作について書いた話、まるで自分が林業がなかったかのように主張していると誤読している投稿があってびびった。与作が排除しているのは都市のイメージで、近代以前から、林業が都市と関わらなかった試しなんてないとおもうけど、非都市の労働生活を牧歌的な充足を与えるような歌詞は完全なフィクションであって、それが78年高度経済成長期に歌われて受容されたということが何故？と書いたんだけど。
こういうフィクションとしての過去にノスタルジーをおぼえる人がいるのはそりゃわかるよ。
そもそもいろいろ省略しているんだけど、もともとこれ考えはじめたのが、米米CLUBの浪漫飛行のPV見たらうおお中身がなさすぎてすごいってなったんだけど、考えてみたら自分はミスチル世代で、ミスチルはバブル崩壊後のリアリティを構築している。米米CLUBは完全にバブル感あるし、それがJALとタイアップで「沖縄」のイメージ化にも寄与している。この辺、中平がプリプリしてたディスカバージャパンの話の延長線にある。嘘の地方イメージ構築という問題はたぶん歌謡を通じて観察できる。その一貫に与作もあると思う。そういうのはいったんバブル崩壊でご破産になっている。
