If I still used Instagram I might be really upset by this.

Playing with some new features in Python 3.15:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.set_lazy_imports('all') # enable lazy imports everywhere
>>> import this
>>> v = frozendict(major=3, minor=15, micro=0) # new type!
>>> [*i for i in v.items()] # this didn't used to work
['major', 3, 'minor', 15, 'micro', 0]

'Anstrengung'
Das mehrtägige Trekking war anstrengend, aber ich hatte mein Ziel erreicht: Die Lost World auf dem Roraima-Tepui.
Update: we've decided to go ahead and submit the CFP to @COSCUP 2026. The track will be called Fediverse & Social Web—think FOSDEM's Social Web devroom, but in Taipei. #COSCUP is free to attend, like FOSDEM.
If the track is accepted, would you be interested in coming to Taipei (Aug 8–9) to give a talk?
(Boosts appreciated!)

(1/5) I want to share a personal story today. This will be a thread, so please bear with me.
I’m pursuing a master’s degree in digital society alongside my work. Yesterday, I started to attend a course on research methods in the social sciences. The lecturer told us that our assignment would be to perform a research task using a slop machine.
I protested, of course, making my case why I considered using slop machines in research and educational highly unethical. (...)
All the "AI" products they developed would have been impossible without exploiting the creations and personal information of millions of people without their consent.
This is happening without any compensation for the hard work and data of the people without whom their technology would be impossible.
They are making billions from this exploitation.
Is this something you support?
Just a casual reminder that today is the Ides of March. 🗡️
*Edit*: here at least, I am clearly not isolated!
Perhaps I am increasingly isolated in holding this position, but I have no interest in reading "AI"-generated slop.
I love reading.
I read people's blogs and toots and whatever *because people wrote them* and I want to read their own thoughts and opinions.
I buy books, and read numerous different authors. I like finding new authors, bringing new ideas, styles etc.
Same with "AI" images. I'd prefer no image at all.

If you’re Nix-curious and want to talk to other people about it (no matter your skill level), coming to a meetup is a great opportunity!
The next Nix events in Switzerland are:
Nix Bern Meetup (@ Puzzle)
Wednesday, Apr 22, starting 18:00
https://www.meetup.com/nix-bern/events/313001700/
…and then, one month later:
Nix Zürich ZHF meetup (@ OST Rapperswil-Jona)
May 16th-17th
I have attended both meetups personally and can strongly recommend them! 😊

#dieLinke Niedersachsen hat gestern nach einiger Diskussion beschlossen, dass keine generative KI zum Erstellen von Wahlkampf-Material, Pressemeldungen usw. benutzt werden soll. Ausgenommen sind zB Untertitel für Videos oder Rechtschreibprüfung.
Gut so. Denn (sogenannte) KI ist ein Produkt, das von Milliardär*Innen genutzt wird, um Künstler*Innen ihre Arbeitskraft zu klauen und damit ohne deren Beteiligung Geld zu verdienen. Also Endlevel der Ausbeutung. Marx rotiert im Grab.

I'm writing this in English.
Not because English is my first language—it isn't. I'm writing this in English because if I wrote it in Korean, the people I'm addressing would run it through an outdated translator, misread it, and respond to something I never said. The responsibility for that mistranslation would fall on me. It always does.
This is the thing Eugen Rochko's post misses, despite its good intentions.
@GargronEugen Rochko argues that LLMs are no substitute for human translators, and that people who think otherwise don't actually rely on translation. He's right about some of this. A machine-translated novel is not the same as one rendered by a skilled human translator. But the argument rests on a premise that only makes sense from a certain position: that translation is primarily about quality, about the aesthetic experience of reading literature in another language.
For many of us, translation is first about access.
The professional translation market doesn't scale to cover everything. It never has. What gets translated—and into which languages—follows the logic of cultural hegemony. Works from dominant Western languages flow outward, translated into everything. Works from East Asian languages trickle in, selectively, slowly, on someone else's schedule. The asymmetry isn't incidental; it's structural.
@GargronEugen Rochko notes, fairly, that machine translation existed decades before LLMs. But this is only half the story, and which half matters depends entirely on which languages you're talking about. European language pairs were reasonably serviceable with older tools. Korean–English, Japanese–English, Chinese–English? Genuinely usable translation for these pairs arrived with the LLM era. Treating “machine translation” as a monolithic technology with a uniform history erases the experience of everyone whose language sits far from the Indo-European center.
There's also something uncomfortable in the framing of the button-press thought experiment: “I would erase LLMs even if it took machine translation with it.” For someone whose language has always been peripheral, that button looks very different. It's not an abstract philosophical position; it's a statement about whose access to information is expendable.
I want to be clear: none of this is an argument that LLMs are good, or that the harms @GargronEugen Rochko describes aren't real. They are. But a critique of AI doesn't become more universal by ignoring whose languages have always been on the margins. If anything, a serious critique of AI's political economy should be more attentive to those asymmetries, not less.
The fact that I'm writing this in English, carefully, so it won't be misread—that's not incidental to my argument. That is my argument.

Here is a bit more detail on the ESAS lunar exploration sites. Today the emphasis is on the south pole, but ESAS suggested a series of landings in other places. We call missions like that 'sorties'. Apollo was all sorties, but they did, early on, consider a fixed base instead, though not at the pole. Vision planning was a mix of sorties and a south polar base or outpost. Here are 6 sortie sites. No. 4, Bode, has been suggested for a Chinese crewed landing.

Also, it's simply too late to make any major changes to election systems this year. Primaries have already started, and the general election is in eight months.
I think it's reasonable to suspect that the play here is simply to set the stage for casting doubt on election outcomes that they regard as unfavorable.
Once again:
- There are security weaknesses in parts of US election systems, particularly those that use paperless touchscreen voting machines, and we should absolutely address them.
- Fortunately, there is no evidence to date that these technical weaknesses have ever been exploited to alter a US election outcome.
- We know how to secure elections! Paper ballots, optical scanners, post-election risk-limiting audits.
- There's been a great deal of progress, but there's still work to do.
