dev. building my own tools on a vps because using someone elses never feels right. AI, supabase, typescript, too many side projects. she/her my starter pack: https://bsky.app/starter-pack/nala-dev.bsky.social/3mlpepgpe6t22

I worked somewhere that had an external DevOps team for a particular repo, and they deleted the repo's lockfile before npm installing on CI because it "had previously caused problems". (Naturally I found out when an updated transitive dep was installed and broke the build)

it's hitting me how much of a nightmare open source software can become over the next decade or so. if nobody vets code that's AI generated then it's machines programming shit badly and everyone fucking loses. how does someone guarantee a contributor isn't using LLMs to generate code. they can't

Issue Explained Dear Captain, Some devices updated to iOS 27 Developer Beta have encountered the following issue: · The game may crash frequently upon startup. This system version will be supported in future updates.

on this topic: i'm looking for work still. if anyone is looking for a front end web developer, please reach out to me. i have nearly 8 years of experience working with JavaScript, TypeScript, and Angular. otherwise, donating to my ko-fi (if you can) helps a lot too ko-fi.com/kaydearcane

hi, i developed a tool to help researchers insert inline HTML and CSS formatting into their web surveys, with the aim of catching and discarding responses spat out by copy/pasting survey questions into genAI tools. kaydes.study/survey-text-...

The original developer of golang has incredibly strong opinions about the use of IDEs and syntax coloration and that's fine but if the go compiler tried to delete jetbrains IDEs when you ran it that wouldn't actually be OK

Back story: After many years of heroic activism, public interest science, and regulatory efforts involving a cast of thousands (and building on the momentum of our 2014 statewide fracking ban), the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act passed in 2019. It set a standard for other states.

So had an unexpected layover in #Halifax and went for a walk last night. Went by the Central Library; such a great building. Beautifully detailed & sited in the heart of a community, connected to a bustling neighborhood. Loads of public space and seating out front, side and back 1/

I'm on a pending patent that's actually an abstraction of this, in a way. A method of tokenizing biosignals for LLM input with sneaky math. ... Which I just googled to link, but am sharing this instead, because Gemini hallucinated and gave me credit for that electrode patent, which I am not on

Lucas Steuber is a prominent inventor and product developer at Cognixion Corporation, known for his work on patents and technologies that integrate biosignals with artificial intelligence and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). His patent portfolio focuses on reading biological signals to facilitate human agency, communication, and adaptability in augmented reality (AR) environments.Notable biosignal patent and invention topics involving Lucas Steuber include:Context-Aware AI and Biosensor Integration: Systems and methods that utilize contextual information alongside biosensors to assist users via generative AI. These systems act on a user's behalf by parsing explicit user inputs and multimodal sensory data.Anatomically Conforming Electrode Assemblies: Patents for adaptable, high-performance neural interface electrodes—such as those featuring arc rails—that conform to human anatomy for better sensing and stimulation.Steady-State Motion Visual Evoked Potentials (SSMVEP) in AR: Systems designed to receive environmental context and sensor data to present users with modified stimuli, classify the resulting biosignals, and translate them into actionable software inputs within an augmented reality or spatial computing environment.

So there's a lot of Horrors in this article but this bit caught my eye - there's an AI Kpop Demon Hunters ripoff featuring an actual human girl who's apparently been monetized on YouTube by her family since birth

Love, Diana Music Hunters — Based on pocket.watch creator partner Diana, the most followed girl in the world on YouTube, this young band of K-pop space-traveling musicians races to Planet Goo, where they must perform a concert to restore the music and save the aliens. Created by Albie Hecht at pocket.watch, former President of Entertainment at Nickelodeon and developer of SpongeBob SquarePants.Olena and Volodymyr Kydysiuk started making YouTube videos as a hobby when Diana's brother, Roma, was born. Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, Diana first appeared in a video in 2015 when Olena launched a YouTube channel to share videos of Diana with friends and family. In 2017, both parents left their jobs to focus full-time on their YouTube channel. The family later relocated to Miami, Florida, where they stayed for a year before relocating again to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

In May 2020, Diana’s parents signed a deal with Pocket.Watch, a startup children's media company founded in 2016 by Chris Williams and Albie Hecht. It has spearheaded Love, Diana — The Princess Of Play, a franchise based around their brand including an animated series, mobile game, and merchandise based on their channel's brands.

Hello there, I’m a Rust developer based in Belgium 🇧🇪 Mostly into backend stuff, developer tooling, terminal UI, WebAssembly experiments, and spending too much time tinkering with NixOS. I also like music and cats. Not a high-volume poster, but I’ll mostly share Rust and NixOS things.

trying my hardest to be a happy web developer but typescript ooming trying to print the files in its compilation graph is.. something

UPDATE: Pope Leo’s AI encyclical argues that humanity faces a defining choice regarding AI. He uses the Tower of Babel — the story of a people who tried to engineer their way to godhood and collapsed under the weight of their own power — as a warning about where unchecked technical mastery leads.

As a software engineer I really resent the general public calling the "spicy autocorrect shittifier" the phrase "artificial intelligence". It's a specific type - Generative AI. Different from voice assistants, computer and machine vision, video game enemy behavior... AI has been around awhile. 😩

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.
