RE: solarpunk.moe/@vv/116144047825

What's your current opinion on the touching of computers?
Do you still find joy in it?
I'm honestly quite frustrated with... gestures around and so I'm thinking of quitting.

I still really enjoy programming and I haven't lost excitement in it. I am lucky to be in a situation where I can avoid using or working with the output of LLM coding assistants professionally so I feel somewhat sheltered from the whole LLM craze. It does feel like a creeping supernatural force that is getting closer and closer, though. But yeah in my free time I have had so much fun writing hand-written Lisp code with Spritely's technology, and that has been a joy.

Iran did interfere in the 2020 + 24 elections but it didn’t do much. Those of us working on the Election Integrity Partnership pointed it out at the time. This same right wing bullshit machine alleged that our work was a “censorship industrial complex” and we were attacked by Jim Jordan, Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger who said there was no such thing as disinformation. The FBI task force that worked on this was disbanded as “censors”. Chris Krebs at CISA was fired and smeared.

May be a Twitter screenshot of ‎text that says '‎Donald J. Trump + @realDonaldTrump 9m Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with United States: justhenews.com/government/se ه justthenews.com মद بکال (a)) گذاریم DOV Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces possible war withU.S. with U.S. E‎'‎

Back in 2022, surrounded by colleagues who were infused with "open source scepticism", I wrote "Open Source in Enterprise Environments - Where Are We Now and What Is Our Way Forward?" nxdomain.no/~peter/opensource_ as an explainer.

Hopefully a useful thing for others too, with links therein

Since the original came out, I have made updates here and there, and added references to some newer material.

You could see "EU CRA: It's Later Than You Think, Time to Engineer Up!" nxdomain.no/~peter/eu_cra_its_ as a further development in response to the real world (or at least the EU parts) moving forward.

There is an assumption that joy and work are different things.

If something is extremely boring or annoying with a task at work, it's treated as an "oh well, that's life" by most people and most bosses.

I think that's fundamentally flawed.

I also don't think joy means to make things easy. Some of the most delightful and creative experiences I've ever had are when I had to work in constraints.

It’s possible that these vehicle swarms we’re seeing are more along those lines: making a show of “investigating” and arresting the regime’s political undesirables.

I’ll also repeat my guess that they’re going to keep trying to pump up their abduction count by targeting places like prisons and farms and industrial sites where the kidnappings won’t get filmed.

They wouldn’t be buying up all those concentration camps if the didn’t think they’re going to fill them.

TP-Link 공유기에 대해 개인적으로 신뢰감이 제로임.
항상 문의들어오면서 와이파이에 문제가 생겨서 기기 상태를 보면 반드시 TP-Link거든..
오히려 iptime이 더 안정적일지경

AI = Accidentally Inaccurate

An artificial intelligence note-taker has been rolled out to Emergency Departments in Aotearoa New Zealand.

rnz.co.nz/news/national/588244

Talking with an ED doctor on Wednesday, he said that in his experience the tool is not sufficiently accurate to rely on, particularly when dealing with Kiwi accents. A specific concern was the transcription of values and units; 20 mls can become 20 kilos. For now, he uses it solely for dictating his reports. He feels that using it to do more could risk patient safety.

What if I could convince you that taking the same time to explain detailed requirements and carefully validate results with a junior colleague instead of a chatbot would not only give you two people who understood the code instead of zero, but if you do it a few times in a row you eventually get a senior colleague out of the deal for free.
