behind the 1908 Hanoi Poison Plot detained at the Hoa Lo Prison by the French colonists in 1941.

13 of them had their heads chopped off instantly and displayed in public. The French later used the photo for an postcard.

Whilst the second world war was raging across the world, in Vietnam the Movement, led by famed revolutionary Ho Chi Minh, was taking birth. had one dream. An independent Vietnam free of foreign rule.

The first year after the war had Japan, and then Britain keen to get their hands on Vietnam. But they were soon replaced by Vietnam’s old colonial rulers: the French.

For nine long years, thereafter, from 1946 to 1954 the First Indochina War ripped across the country. Spilling blood, lives, and peace. On one side were the French. More adamant to stay. More aggressive in their rule. They were helped by the US who provided advisers, funding, and weapons from behind the scenes.
Anti-communist Vietnamese loyalists aided the French rulers’ legitimacy. On the other side was Ho Chi Minh and his revolutionaries.

Things eventually came to a head in 1954 with the Geneva Conference and creation of the 17th Parallel, a Demilitarized Zone [DMZ] on 17 degrees latitude north.

Each is restrained with wooden yokes around their necks and legs confined. The image is taken from a postcard, with text in French that reads "TONKIN - Crimes inculpés dans le complot des Empoisonneurs (Juillet 1908) à la barre de Justice, dans la prison", and a postage stamp.

This is anecdotal, but every time I say I have a bad feeling about something

(See: Elon and companies, alleged grassy knoll ear shots, LLMs, cryptocurrency, Gamergate, project 2025)

And I get tech people yelling at me in the comments,

Within two years I’m proven extremely right.

LLM-Driven Large Code Rewrites With Relicensing Are The Latest AI Concern

The newest open-source concern around AI that is seeing a lot of interest this weekend is when large language models / AI code generators may rewrite large parts of a codebase and then the "developers" claiming an alternative license incompatible with the original source license. This became a real concern this week with a popular Python project experiencing an AI-driven code rewrite and now publi…

RE: mastodon.social/@hanno/1161932

I've seen a non-native speaker trusting an AI translation tool to draft the German version of a minor document change.

The AI tool hallucinated a subtle mistake in the written-out number - "63872 (in Worten: Dreiundsechzigtausendachthundertundsiebzig)" - an error which the non-native speaker was obviously unable to spot.

Translation is often hailed as a positive example of using AI, but it suffers the same problem of human nature to accept a machine's plausibly looking result as "good enough" without the review that would be required.

It's International Women's Day, so when you see people zooming by on electric scooters, I remember Lady Norman and her autoped. She was a suffragist who insisted on being mobile without manly "protection" :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscill

(UPDATE: Yes, many men in the replies. The autoped used a combustion engine, I know. My post is however NOT about the autoped, it's about the woman standing on it. I know, that's really hard for some of you to deal with. :)

Sněmovní volby by podle agentury Kantar vyhrálo s 34,5 % hnutí ANO. Vychází to z únorového průzkumu. Na druhém místě by skončilo hnutí STAN s 15,5 %. To nově o jeden procentní bod přeskočilo ODS, která by se 14,5 % skončila třetí.
➡️ Do sněmovny by se dostali i Piráti a SPD. Hranice 5 % nutných pro vstup do dolní komory by těsně dosáhli také Motoristé.
ℹ️ Voleb by se v době sběru dat zúčastnilo 66 procent občanů starších 18 let.

I wish was a "pull" protocol instead of a "push" protocol. The way it works, whenever you take an action, it sends that action to all followers. I would prefer if it simply stored them and then let each follower pull them when they see fit.

That would introduce latency and more async comms as your messages wouldn't pop up into someone elses feed until their software fetch the data, but I think it would make it easier to self host.

おれがRubyのコード書きながら「このクラスのネーミングはどうすべきか…」と悩んでいる間にClaude Codeが爆速でSwiftのコードを吐き出してビルドしてテストしてpushしてCopilotがレビューしてその結果を見てClaude Codeが修正している

Happy International Women's day — I'm currently in Luxemburg and will participate in the women's march with ~5000 participants expected. The political party déi Lénk has achieved a historic win in making abortion a right just this week!

Still, there's lots to do: Luxemburg's minister of defense will participate in this protest, despite her version of feminism being that black women can now be in the military too. A larger action to protest white, western “feminism” is planned.

No one is free until everyone is free!
