I keep seeing lots of people saying "LLMs are like compilers/assemblers for prompts"

Noooooooooo
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

LLMs are not compilers, and they're not assemblers. Determinism is a key aspect to assemblers and compilers.

And they *certainly* can't be part of a reproducible pipeline

None of my current projects would be considered digital infrastructure, but if your project qualifies and needs someone to help it grow, please reach out. Maybe we can apply together!

I've spent the last 10+ years freelancing as an open source developer, community manager and project manager, with a special interest in governance & leadership development.

I have plenty of availability right now and I'd love to spend it supporting open source digital infrastructure.

🚫 🛠️ We are disapointed to report that an application for the role of "Digital Artist in Residence" at University College Cork (UCC) submitted by The Institute earlier this year has not been successful.

The project was titled "The Luddite Academy" and proposed to bring the current resurgence of luddite theory and praxis to bear on the university's digital arts and humanities departments.

We proposed to 1) Audit the university's dependence on Big Tech 2) Experiment with alternatives with students and staff, including but not limited to hosting our own (experimental) digital services and 3) Document everything so that it could outlive the residency.

While this particular application failed we will endeavour to find another home for this work in 2026.

Diagram summarising all the aspects of the project proposal. the left side has the students, staff, and University College Cork, the right side is the Luddite academy. Both have arrows pointing to a middle column where they meet around the tree main activities of the project: Audit (interviews, office hours, reports/maps), Experiment (online prototypes, workshops), and Document (curated resources, publishing platform). The arrows coming out of the luddite academy towards these activities are labelled with the modes of action of the academy: produce artwork, curate, produce tools/code, teach, publish/host

エッセイ記事。僕は食べ物を噛むことが好きだ。人より噛み意地が張っているせいで噛む代償を支払っている。
riq0h.jp/2026/03/05/224605/

噛む代償

僕は食べ物を噛むことが好きだ。人より10倍は噛んでいる自信がある。なにか類似したものの中から一つ選ぶ時、大抵は噛み応えがありそうな方を選ぶ。しかしこうした選択は、しばしばコスト的な不遇を被る。柔らかく精白された製品の方が大衆の支持を得ている以上、大量生産の恩恵を受けるのはそちらの方であり、固形物より液体や粉にしている製品の方が輸送コストが安く低廉化しやすい。つまり、僕は人より噛み意地が張っているせいで噛む代償を支払っていると言える。

TIL that

cargo —locked {build,test}

works like

cargo {build,test} —locked

But

cargo —locked clippy

works like:

cargo clippy

That is, the `—locked` is ignored, but the command still “works.” This is the case for any command not built into Cargo, it seems. So make sure you put that flag in the right place.

(TIL, but I’m pretty sure I’ve learned it multiple times.)

Has anyone made a good guide for how to ask for survival money on the fediverse yet? One that outlines how tagging strangers isn't a good long term strategy. That it can temporarily work for engagement but sooner or later you will either loose your account or get blocked so much that you don't have much reach. There is this influx of people trying to crowd fund for their survival coming here and we should help provide them with the means to continue to do so sustainability.

10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips

Link: mas.to/@gabrielesvelto/1161717
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Gabriele Svelto (@gabrielesvelto@mas.to)

A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is sound and a lot of the crashes we see are from users with bad memory or similarly flaky hardware. Here's a few numbers to give you an idea of how large the problem is. 🧵 1/5

"CENTCOM denies the earlier reported shoot down of a F-15

Which doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Some of their explanations of losses are to put it mildly, "questionable"...such as the loss of three F-15s that were allegedly shot down by one Kuwaiti F-18... or the strikes on the THAAD systems which they haven't acknowledged"

Tell your MP: No to ID checks for web access action.openrightsgroup.org/no-

No ID Checks for Web Access

Take action! What’s the problem? The Government has proposed amendments to the Children Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would give Ministers the power to restrict access to "internet services". This is supposed to give the Government the power to ban under 16s from social media but “internet services" is a very broad definition, which means any online platform can be included. The wording of the amendment means they could do this without even having to prove that these sites are harmful for children.
