Happy Monday, @jerdog.dev. @pop-punk-bot.bsky.social, play us something to welcome August.
Attackers are using AI to write phishing emails & fake PRs for pennies. Defenders are drowning in AI-generated bug reports. I'm giving a talk about why it has not been a relaxing year for the JavaScript supply chain at @nodejs.org + @renderatl.com. #RenderATL
A modern software registry is increasingly a trust service. Public registries like @github.com's @npmjs.com & @pypi.org provide identity, provenance, discovery, policy, short-lived signing, & reputation, but #AI has made trust newly important @redmonk.com redmonk.com/kholterhoff/...

Not sure that @kateholterhoff.com will be thanking me or not, but for 2000s pop punk posts and replies to mentions... there is now @pop-punk-bot.bsky.social
Kate Holterhoff, PhD@kateholterhoff.com · 2w agoThere’s not enough early 00s pop punk content on Bluesky. This is a problem that affects us all, and I’m glad to see someone’s finally addressing it.
Any of my friends on here reading @mattdinniman.bsky.social's Dungeon Crawler Carl books? I'm on the 2nd, and they're a hoot! Highly recommend. I suspect the RPG-lovers on here would really enjoy them. I'm picking up most of the references, but had to look up "buff." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon...

When I see Tom Cruise doing a World Cup intro monologue within days of seeing the trailer for his new movie, and a "viral" tweet on Reddit about him hanging with AMC employees at the Odyssey, I just want to run into the woods. It's all so obviously manufactured & choreographed. I want to be free.

Watched "Night of the Hunter" last night and it is potentially the best movie I've ever seen. Robert Mitchum is incredible and the dreamlike cinematography! Wow. I can see why it has been so influential for later filmmakers.
a classic spicy conversation between @infrequently.org and @kateholterhoff.com. seriously it's well worth a listen. Alex Russell on PWAs, App Stores, and Mobile Performance.

The ever changing landscape of GenAI policy in open source is not as cut and dry as one might think. Each project and foundation has their own take and these graphs show how it is currently stacking up.

“To me, recent Claudes & GPTs do in fact feel less honest, & more focused on superficially looking good rather than truly being good…. this difference did in fact start cropping up right around the RLVR boom (it was very striking in o3)” @nostalgebraist.bsky.social www.lesswrong.com/posts/f5DKLs...

Everyone will be pleased to know I found my coffee. 6 hours later.
Kate Holterhoff, PhD@kateholterhoff.com · 3mo agoI somehow managed to lose my coffee in the house around 9 and still can't find the damn thing! Had to brew an entirely new cup. This is a new low for me.
