If it wasn't already, 2FA spraying is now a thing
“I saw it in their eyes, the moment they realized their stories had value.”
In Sudan, Mohammed Ahmed Wad Al Sak reports, women displaced by war are creating intimate DIY films about rebuilding lives, teaching children, starting small businesses and refusing to disappear.

@GuerillaOntologist "We’re finding that AIs have relieved the pressure and bottleneck of code generation, but that everything else has become the bottleneck" Sounds like their employees still don't get it; the bottleneck is LLMs (AI) ends-to-end.
Software development encompasses all of the wterfall terms (analysis, design, implementation, test) as well as maintenance. These are the cost sources associated with personnel. Bosses praising fast coders with poor quality is age-old. :-(
Note to all University and College faculty: if you are pushing AI, or telling your students how "it's the future," they all hate you. They may not be saying it in your classroom to your face, but rest assured they are absolutely clowning on you outside of class.

So we all realize the #rsync thing is because it's hosted on #MicrosoftGitHub, right? Right???
Someone needs to fork a pre-LLM copy of rsync to e.g., #Codeberg, like the #evi poject did with #Vim (https://codeberg.org/evi-editor/evi)

Advice I was given in my youth:
Print your slide on a full piece of paper. Put the paper on the ground. Stand on a chair.
If you can’t easily read your slide, neither can the person at the back of the room.
It flummoxes me that 30 years into using computers to show slides, tiny fonts in slide is *still* widespread practice.
#ElonMusk did it on a whim!
He didn't take the time to look at the evidence, the consequences, he just said fuck it and did it.

within the past 24 hours I’ve watched two people claim there was nuance to the rsync story that made tridge right, and after not too much discussion they admitted they didn’t know rsync’s slop code only got noticed after a severe breakage occurred, or that people have evaluated the slop commits and found them to be of extraordinarily poor quality (including rendering rsync’s test suite ineffective by translating it from bash into broken python). the story they heard is that someone saw Claude in the commit log and freaked out and directed harassment towards tridge. they seemed to be under the false impression that rsync still worked fine.
how is it that the members of the supposed angry mob are doing deeper analysis than the people claiming nuance?
Rsync opens the slopgates, regressions and bugs ensue
Andrew Tridgell, developer of rsync, has published a blog post addressing the massive surge in "AI" code submissions and the string of regressions supposedly caused by them. He explains rsync was flooded with "AI"-generated security reports, and he couldn't handle the volumes anymore.
As this flood started to get mo

@barcode @ludicity FWIW, I 5think software has been backsliding in terms of applying known good engineering principles for a long time. The popularity contest culture combined with the favoring of the terms, "art" and "craft" over "science" and "engineering" helped dumb down the culture before LLMs (AI) and (as a positive) has dumbed down the learning potential of the LLMs.
@barcode @ludicity Looking for "recent" might be part of the problem. There are many old computer science, software management, and software management texts that are relevant regardless of recent popular programming language or process. e.g., "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" by Niklaus Wirth 1975, "Peopleware" by DeMarco and Lister 1987, "Applied Software Measurement" by Capers Jones 2008, Sally Shlaer and Stephen Mellors books from 1998 and 1991, etc.
