I think moderation only works when individuals have the agency to choose for themselves what content/posts they see. Mastodon/fediverse sets a good example here - there is “general safety and theme” guards at instance level but wh

The EU’s eIDAS 2.0 specification for their digital wallet identity explicitly supports the use of pseudonyms for this exact purpose of “Anonymous authentication”.

It’s literally a slot machine for random text. With “services around it” to give the randomness some shape and tools.

> the talent was already here Yeah, the talent shaped over many years by experience brought to you from near and far. The question is, can your talent remain competitive and can you make new one?

Let’s not overstate what the technology actually is. LLMs amount to random token generators that try their best to have their outputs “rhyme” with their prompts, instructions, skills, or what humans know as goals and consequences.

Swift! Multiple times introduced fundamental changes that were not only breaking but required semantic rewrites of code. The most recent breakage being Swift’s latest version adding concurrency features.

> it’s also kids in elementary school Maybe it’s because their parents are spending more time on screens (… and probably working due to the stagnation of wage vs. prices) instead of reading to/teaching their kids

That was a very robust and comprehensive comment

NDA on AI generated code is funny since model outputs are technically someone else’s code. It’s amazing how we’re infusing all kinds of systems with potential license violations

Coding with Claude feels like playing a slot machine. Sometimes you get more or less what you asked, sometimes totally not. I don’t think it’s wise or sane to leave them unattended.

That depends a bit on the ecosystem too. For editors: Zed recently added the disable_ai option, we have a couple of folks using more traditional options like Sublime, vim-based etc (that never had the kind of creepy telemetry we’re avoiding

Devs are free to choose, provided we can vet the model prover’s policy on training on prompts or user code. We’re also careful not to expose agents to documentation or test data that may be sensitive. It’s a trade off with convenience of co

I’m so happy our entire operation moved to a self hosted VCS (Forgejo). Two years ago, we started the migration (including client repos) and not only we saved tones of money on GitHub subscriptions, our system is dramatically more performan

The scammers I can imagine. They’re more in the “thieves” category. Some break into houses, others trick people virtually. It’s not cool but I can imagine their motivation. The “develops weaponised software exploits” is not clear for me. Ma

I always wondered how the software people who work in places like this live with themselves. Is it some sort of “enough money can make me forget and look myself in the mirror” situation?

My body my choice. And I shouldn’t have to justify my choice. I’m not sure if it’s country specific or religion based, but certain groups really can’t grasp the fact that we have agency over our bodies and how we live (or not).

I wish we could get it on iOS too. Unfortunately, Apple is still difficult about alternative engines. Oh well.

I think the original vision where containers "abstract" the platform to such an extend that you can basically deploy your dev environment has been somewhat diminished. The complexity of the ecosystem has grown to such an extend, t

And there is an extra perk: Unlike cloud services, system skills and knowledge are portable. Once you learn how systemd or ufw or ssh works, you can apply it to any other system. I’d even go as far as to say that the time/cost required

I wouldn’t blame the “ever expanding” abstractions as the root cause behind lower quality. Adding layers of abstraction is how we make ever more complex software. It’s misleading to think that just because the main human interface idioms ha

Politico is being overly dramatic as usual. While of course we’re grateful to the person who setup the website, this isn’t the first time a campaign against a piece of policy has included a website. Politico makes it sounds like it’s a figh

The technology powering Bluesky is “inspired by” but never interoperable with existing standards or similar reference architectures. This is one’s first queue that the direction is not being open. And beyond the technical details, how can a

There is also the change of location here. In normal times, it wouldn’t matter where in the world a company is based but moving “entirely to the US” is just not a good look these days.

Person in tech me is in conflict with customer me as to who is to blame. Maybe system imposed browser/agent defaults were a mistake after all.
