I keep reading "AI-native" as "AI-naive"

"god ziet u, hier vloekt met niet" is gewoon even melden dat god slechthorend is maar kan liplezen?

Trump continues to empty out the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It will run out in about a month at this pace. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oil-falls-as-israel-and-iran-halt-hostilities-that-risked-talks-062215439.html

Lieve help. In Noord Ierland halen gemaskerde fascisten migranten uit hun huizen die ze slopen en in brand steken. En Elon Musk en zijn vader stoken vanaf X (en vanuit Rusland) het vuurtje verder aan. Dit is open en bloot fascisme. Dat we dat nog een keer moesten meemaken.

Dinner had a bit too much grease which my body is now complaining about (missing gallbladder). Going to try to dissolve it with alcohol 🤷‍♂️

I’m looking forward to children being unable to take a picture of Michelangelo’s David on a school trip. (And if you think that won’t happen, try posting any kind of nudity in art on Instagram, Pinterest etc) […]

$customer who fired their R&D with the plan to have their gear made in China is so far discovering that the companies they contacted either won't/can't make it according to the spec, or can do at a higher price than the team they fired. LMAO. Soon they will get desperate and sign with a shady […]

hmmm yet another project where the core functionality is implemented in a 'utils' sourcefile (all the rest deals with UI and such and has proper filenames)

"The study is based on extensive measurements of the unrest on the Reykjanes peninsula from 2021 to 2025. One of the main conclusions is that the Earth’s crust in the unrest area rifted - moved apart - by almost four metres in these few years, including by as much as two and a half metres in a […]

Dutch webshop ships all over Europe (not EU), but: "We no longer ship to Denmark, Sweden, Finland, the U.K. and Belgium!" WTF

The Guardian has published a new map of the #Gaza yellow line. You can see that #Israel has now ceased more than half of the entire strip. But this is also the very substantial majority of all Gaza's agricultural land. This means that even if peace is restored […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

Great stuff from @frenck here: "A powerful tool does not replace understanding. It amplifies whatever is already there. If there is judgment, it amplifies judgment. If there is confusion, it amplifies confusion." https://frenck.dev/open-source-was-not-ready-for-ai-speed-contributions/

The amount of propaganda bots trying to sign up lately is bonkers. The fediverse feels like it’s becoming a battleground for information warfare. Be safe out there

Good morning

How long before we can start mining tokens by renting out spare computer capacity? #ai (I came up with it as a joke but I'm sure somebody is already planning it)

I think the EU rules for USB-C usage are going a bit too far. Practical example: a desktop thermal label printer. It must soon use USB-C for power. 1. It supports USB communication from a PC/... But: 2. The amount of power it needs cannot be supplied by the host so the device needs two USB-C […]

Wow! “He decided his job wasn’t worth his soul.” That says it all. But the big thing is he exposed the media corruption. “Pelley didn’t hold back. He said management had instructed him to inject falsehoods into a politically sensitive story and had begun inviting politicians to choose which […]

Also, TIL that in the GitHub Customer Agreement there is a provision [§6.3(b)] for the *customer* to defend GitHub in some cases of legal liability lol, lmao

Ich arbeite zukünftig nicht mit #ai, sondern wie AI: ich bin scheißfreundlich und antworte auf alle Anfragen einfach aus dem Bauch raus, wenn ich was nicht weiß, erfind ich's, und ob die Antwort zur Frage paßt oder hilfreich ist, ist mir auch egal. Vor allem aber, und das ist das wichtigste […]

LLM advocates still don’t seem to be able to comprehend that ordering the machine not to ‘make stuff up’ doesn’t help. It doesn’t know when it’s making stuff up, and it couldn’t change that even if you told it to. (In fact it’s always just making stuff up, and is only ever true by chance.) Part […]

Accurate.

Meanwhile, have spent my Friday night & Saturday getting my agentic setup to mostly use local models (Gemma 4 31B and Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B) to see if I can manage much more of my inference locally... Just testing so far... but... um, local models are really good these days.

Let's just start measuring the rocket explosions in school lunches: "Jeff Bezos just blew up one billions school lunches", "Enough school lunches to feed every child in America for five years blew up today on a launchpad in Texas, say sources..."

My youngest daughter is already preparing for next year; the modern/contemporary dance teacher is very strict and absolutely hates swear words (whole class does 10 pushups). I suggested she try faen, which I learned from a Norwegian rafting guide during a max water height trip long ago...

Spring time Raptor Lake update: a colleague wrote a workaround for the most common Firefox crash we were encountering in the zlib-rs library and it seems to be working. This confirms both my theory (and ryg's too) about the origin of the bug effectively being triggered by a MUX somewhere in the […]

Let the heat go away... Managed to keep the house below 25 until today (due to hot night - we do passive cooling only) 😓

Heh my wife just saw this somewhere in Gent 😂 #anginedepoitrine

Bought some transparent TPU to make a custom defuser for another project I'll toot about if I get the design right and the test works. Otherwise I'll toot about another stupid idea that failed 😉

Weather here went from too cold/wet to hot in a very short time, and the mosquitos were caught off guard. It looks (feels, hears) like they now caught up

Somebody ported firmware to a new MCU using AI and I'm reviewing it... #fml Step one was adding back all the meaningful comments from the old code. The old comments were all about the logic, about why things were done that way. AI removed most and replaced them with technical references which […]

What a strange turn of events, Matt wrote a blogpost in which he begs WP Engine to stop the judicial war he started himself. He claims WPE (Silver Lake) is trying to dissolve the WordPress Foundations and wants to control and take over WordPress. https://wordpress.org/news/2026/05/wp23/ […]

Pasting a huge AI generated explanation to a problem in an issue or pull-request is nothing but RUDE. Don't do it. You look stupid and the receivers of that feel insulted. We are humans. We communicate like humans. Fine, use the tools you like, but don't insult us.
