“The Test”

> Those are the people who have passed the test. They have debased themselves in public by following something completely off the rails marking themselves as obedient to the person who started the whole thing.

Tante hits the nail on the head in his explanation of why tech execs make these wild statements

@alda but then you are not a techbro, I've seen one of my fellow team-lead colleagues run a coding "agent" (with root permissions non the less, because it needed to execute some fancy commands) on his local git repository clone, without pushing the changes he's made himself to azure.

He slammed Ctrl+C good 20x when the agent started doing completely unrelated changes and merging branches.

This was meant as a demonstration of how great and useful "AI" is at a meeting with C-level management.

The number of preregistrations to https://thelastcoder.net/ clearly show that folks want that event.

For reasons I am agin referring to @broadwaybabyto

Listen what she says. It is true. I can confirm it for Germany.

And even if you follow her, read her texts and then think you are prepared, you are not. Once you experience the society (yes, society as in people around you, not only the "system") as a disabled person or as a partner / close friend of a disabled person you will still be shocked.

Able bodied, non chronically ill just don't want to be annoyed by disability. Visibility and knowledge alone about the struggling of disabled people is treated as an annoyance that has to be hidden and locked away.

I need a very small portable washing machine that would be used only for socks.

Can anyone suggest one? It has to be small enough that I can lift it and drain it myself.

I can’t put my socks with my regular laundry & hand washing is no longer an option (dislocated wrist)

I think this could be a huge spoon saver if I could find one that actually works.

Help?

Everyone talks about not having senior devs in the future because we’re replacing the juniors with LLMs, but nobody’s talking about losing senior devs now because people who are competent and care about the quality of their work are leaving this LLM-infested hellscape of a career path to go into carpentry, hostelry, or subsistence farming

A lot of devs are obviously struggling with complex communication problems currently, so as someone with a modest linguistics background, I offer this helpful template:

"We do not allow LLM generated code in our project's codebase."

I give away all IP rights to the above sentence. It is free to use and reproduce.

This is an absolutely bonkers thread that reveals how much duct tape and bailing wire is holding together a trillion dollar company’s “artificial intelligence” system. It’s a Linux VM with a bunch of vibe code and Markdown files, and can be trivially persuaded into just… pwning the whole system, apparently.

$18B in loans tied to Oracle’s New Mexico AI data center are trading at 89-91¢ on the dollar as banks struggle to sell the debt.

Now Oracle is invoking force majeure to protect itself from payments if the project is delayed.

The cracks are starting to show in AI data center financing. https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/analysisoracle-blue-owl-project-delaysends-ripples-through-ai-financing-sources-say-4916397

Pharmacies in the United States are absolutely shit right now. CVS is dominating the market by having captured one of the largest insurance providers, and by literally buying out all of the competition. What’s left of Walgreens is now so poorly staffed and has such poor service that the folks working in the pharmacy are openly belligerent to patients.

I fucking hate this timeline.

SF Democratic Party stands behind.. Flock

They even have two people on Flock’s payroll! Who didn’t recuse themselves from the vote!

Feckless, gormless politicians

i don't know how to put this more simply:

fascism is bad
reporting fascism is not
fascists should have the shit kicked out of them frankly, but we'll settle for banning them
people who report fascists for fascist comments should not be banned.

if you can't manage that, you have no business calling yourself 'community', 'inclusive' or any of the other nice words you like to attribute to yourselves.

ALRIGHT! I'm VERY excited to announce this research, because we've been holding onto it for close to a year now!

Announcing File Notification Attacks! Side-Channel Leakage from the File-Notification System on #Linux, #Android, #Windows, and #macOS

We've found decades-old bugs on Linux, Android, and Windows... well technically Microsoft considers what we found an ✨ undocumented feature ✨ (got Microsoft nominated for the lamest vendor response #pwnie award haha).

There's SO much to talk about, so please expand this thread below, but you can also check it out yourself at:

There's a #noAI logo that my sister drew there. Our work was accepted at #CCS 2026, and I'll be presenting it this November at The Hague, Netherlands! If you're there, we should totally meet up :D

These days my first reactions to projects talking about AI in open source aren't even about the ethical disaster, the environmental disaster, the theft and gating of the commons or an of the other ludicrous externalities this blight of an industry has inflicted on all of us.

My first, most visceral reaction to people who should know better and spent years claiming they did is, what happened to your self-respect. Did you ever bother trying understand the things you said you believed in?

Gas prices are sky high, but good ol boys are still rolling coal. Hopefully they can keep making payments on those lifted trucks after diesel hits $10/gallon.

Which German biscuits can replace Digestive biscuits in pie crusts? I am tired of searching for Digestive biscuits every time I want to make a lime pie. Must be vegan! No rolled oats please!
