Mitigating Exposure to Wildfire Smoke: What I’ve Learned So Far
Folks, we need to talk. I’m shut up in the house again, windows tightly closed, air-filters running, because the outside air quality is absolutely terrible. It’s “wildfire season&…

one of the sadder byproducts of ai obsession: the apparently widespread belief that all output is good output, and that the specifics of what you create don't matter
Don’t you *LIKE* understanding the magic of the machine? You do realize hand-programming (I hate that I even have to specify hand now) is fun…right?
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of the International Obfuscated C Code Contest! Excited to watch winners streaming at 11AM PDT today. It always brings out an interesting blend of compiler nerds, programming language theorists, and researchers.
IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

NEW: OpenAI says hackers stole "limited credential material" by pushing out malicious updates to a widely used open source project to two employees' devices. The company said the supply chain attack did not result in the theft of user data, or the compromise of production systems.

OpenAI said the damage was limited to the employees’ devices, and did not affect user data nor its production systems, and none of its intellectual property was stolen.

FWIW, I still don't believe the root problem lies with the technology. The irresponsible and rapid spread of "vibe coding" as a viable business activity was made by humans. These things only do what we tell them to do. I'm gonna keep reminding people about that.
My weird pet sim, Bobo Bay, is out NOW on Steam! There is a launch discount as well! Here are some cute clips from discord!
It's tough seeing every single freelance artist I know having the same "uhh I haven't had paying work or sales in weeks" posts, it's gotten extremely tough out there for us. If you have the means, please consider treating yourself to a commission or print or book from an artist you like, it helps!
I don't think tech at large understands how hard it is to be an open source maintainer right now. So many great folks are on the brink of burnout. Funding is drying out. We live in a security minefield. Companies think humans are disposable. If you're a maintainer, we care. You deserve the world.
Gave up and said "that's awesome" when a coworker did something incorrectly using AI today. Don't care anymore. I saw a really cute finch in my yard today so I'm thinking about that
of COURSE it took an autistic doctor to look at the body and brain as a complete system

I learned recently that it’s an insult in Germany to call someone “hobbyless” or to engage in “hobbyless behavior” and it’s become my favorite way to think of assholes who have nothing better to do than to make other people miserable. Get a hobby. Build a model train and calm down.

Every operating system disagrees about what the right arrow key means. In languages like Hebrew and Arabic, the caret might: - move right - move left - split in two (??) - do nothing Think about it. Should the caret move logically, or visually?
ZionSiphon is an AI-generated, non-functional attempt at ICS malware. Malicious intent doesn't imply ability, and broken malware like this is a distraction when we have proven threats like VOLTZITE/Volt Typhoon out there hitting water utilities.: www.dragos.com/blog/zionsip...

Dragos analyzed ZionSiphon and assessed it as non-functional OT malware. Here's why it poses no credible threat to dam desalination or critical infrastructure

I'm not even anti AI, I'm just pro quality and if that makes you see me as the adversary, perhaps you should start looking at the work you do
