“We weren’t given any time to understand what this impact was going to be on us,” the mother of two said through tears. “We’re trapped here.” OpenAI did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Ontzettend eens met Timmermans. Het is ongelooflijk teleurstellend hoe mensen zwijgen, wanneer je belasterd en belaagd wordt. Uit een mengelmoes van luiheid, lafheid en snobisme -‘ach wie leest dat nou’. Ondertussen winnen de fascisten met nepnieuws dat het publieke domein beheerst.

Goodbye academisch jaar 2025-2026. Het was pittig en het heeft me desondanks veel opgeleverd. Wat je ook leest en hoort via media kanalen: “The Kids are alright!” 🫶🫶

Buitenlanders weigeren zich aan te passen

Goede vraag. Maar ja, ze kennen de oude Mark Rutte niet.

This feels like a good moment to remind everyone how the 'Quilloughby' song written by Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie for The Simpsons episode that sends up a certain 80s frontman is excellent. open.spotify.com/track/1jkG7f...

Fijn voor die 34 wetenschappers dat ze bij ons verder kunnen. Maar er had wel bij vermeld gemogen dat dit uiteindelijk ten koste gaat van 34 wetenschappers die al in Nederland werkten. Er is geld verschoven tussen potjes maar geen extra geld gekomen www.volkskrant.nl/wetenschap/t...

Dijkhof is zo ontzettend af

Op 10 oktober loopt Mannenmars in Amsterdam, vanaf De Dam, 10:00. Geen mannen tegen vrouwen, geen mannen tegen mannen. Mannen die zeggen: dit wordt anders, en dat begint bij ons. Als dit iets is in je raakt, kijk op hun site. En loop mee als je kan. mannen-mars.nl #sharingiscaring #mannenmars

He creates his own reality & expects us to believe it. The FELON's FANTASY: Meanwhile, back on EARTH 1:

Het kan aan mij liggen, maar ik vind het schandalig dat de verantwoordelijkheid voor onze gezondheid bij onszelf wordt neergelegd met een 'drink geen alcohol'-campagne terwijl we niet worden beschermd tegen pfas en andere troep in vrijwel alles dat we eten, drinken en inademen.

Kunnen mensen a.u.b. ophouden met een zin beginnen met ‘al’ op online media? Als je het nou hebt over ‘triggering’

Alles is ‘betutteling’, maar toeteren reguleren niet. Lol. Wat een kleuters. Al zouden kleuters leukere vertegenwoordigers zijn. Lolly’s voor iedereen en vooral lekker veel toeteren.

Yesterday I initiated what I knew would be a tough conversation. Bringing it back on subject and away from ongoing attempts at gaslighting and making things personal was hard work for which I leaned heavily on my expertise. The most meta moment? Being mansplained interpersonal behaviours 😂

My posts most days. I'm sorry.

We heard you. We agree. In light of recent developments in physical media, GitHub is proud to announce that you can now obtain your public repo on CD-ROM. Keep it. Lend it to friends. Pass it on to your children. Your code is physically yours, forever. Until you lose it, let's be real. gh.io/cd

“The message that I always bring when I have a chance is that, when the text that comes out of one of these systems makes sense, it’s because we are making sense of it. This is also in the stochastic parrots paper.”

Anyone? Anyone at all?

A reminder: for many, asking for help is hard. Pay attention to your friends/family. If they're going through something, no matter how sure you are that "they've got this", know that they may not just need help, they may be desperately hoping you offer it without them asking.

"ontology" is the study of placing one thing on top of, or onto, another thing

Podcast alert!!!! Together with Hanna Schraffenberger I am launching the Computer Science Off Course Podcast Today! Computer Science curricula are very very narrow in scope with a lot of math and algorithms, but very little meta science, philosophy or history.

We get asked a lot if WICCON is open for everyone, since we only have women on stage. The answer is YES! Everybody interested in Cyber Security is welcome. Head over to the website and secure your ticket! wiccon.nl/tickets-2026

Ik ben niet aan het kijken. Ik wil de uitslag niet weten. Nog liever hou ik mijn kind, dat zich overduidelijk verslapen heeft, in het ongewis om blanco de herhaling te kijken. Nu offer ik mezelf op, wacht ik de straatgeluiden af. Om na een interval zijn mobiel te pakken… Dit is OOK spannend

Maar je moet wel eerst routine hebben opgebouwd om in te schatten of AI de routine goed uitvoert. Als de nieuwe generatie die kans niet krijgt, dan stort het systeem binnen de kortste keren in.

It does feel insane that none of "the progressive case for aircon" mentions solar. If this heatwave had happened in 2010, the European grid would have buckled in the daytime! As it is, there were some issues in the evening when the sun went down. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Goh…wie had dat zien aankomen? Het was zo voorspelbaar

“We should expose pre-college students to computational [thinking. W]e should look to inspire the public’s interest in the intellectual adventure of the field. We’ll thus spread the joy, awe, and power of computer science, aiming to make computational thinking commonplace” — Jeannette M. Wing (2006)

“Computational thinking is a way humans solve problems; it is not trying to get humans to think like computers. Computers are dull and boring; humans are clever and imaginative.” — Jeannette M. Wing (2006) h/t @olivia.science dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

So the world’s only trillionaire, who hates taxes, opposes wealth redistribution, wants to cut public spending, and barely gives to charity, wants you to think he will lead the world to abundance for all if you buy his robots? How has that worked so far?

Our king was seated next to the FIFA president, implied he had no choice and… “I might have made some suggestions on future peace prize winners” 😂

some commentariat on the “AI deskilling” thing - memorization isn’t mastery. I’ve met plenty of certified whatever’s who passed a test saying they knew k8s or c# or whatever that I wouldn’t trust in my repo

When you are contemplating how you can make an LLM agent stick to agile scrum, especially pillars and values. Because, you know, the agent lies! If you think it’s going to get better I will counter you with one word: enshittification. Better for whom? There’s no money in objectively better

Now @joegrand.bsky.social & @lennert.bsky.social about to show STM32 glitches that won't erase your device if you fail at RECON! #hardwarehacking

Psst, wanna hear a secret? You actually are good at what you do, no one is mad at you, and your friends like you a lot.

Before this LLM dark age we’re entering, my view was that we needed more social sciences in software and hardware development. Now here we are. Quality, usability, security and other «non-functional», qualitative requirements are out the window. Lines of code is suddenly a valid metric of work.

In de herhaling: Haal een koelmat voor huisdieren, Leg in bed onder je hoeslaken… Val in slaap! #hitte

Late to the party. Watching Unprisoned Love the quality of writing and acting. And beautifully shot 10/10 recommend What a cast! @kerrywashington.bsky.social Delroy Lindo Faly Rakotohavana @brendastrong.bsky.social

So, your company thinks diversity is important. We are voluntarily organising WICCON to celebrate and showcase a HUGE underrepresented group in Cyber security. We are giving a lot of our time, will you support us by SHOWING THE MONEY! ;) Please head over to the website to find the sponsor options

“If I waited until everything was finished or perfect, I would never end up on stage.” WICCON Diaries #2 is here! ✨ Marina Bochenkova shares why perfection is overrated and why the only real failure is never trying. Read the interview: wiccon.nl/blog/wicco...#2 #WICCON #WomenInCybersecurity #CFP

I really need people to understand that Palantir is not an engineering marvel; it is a multi-billion-dollar contractual containment layer wrapped around the world's ugliest legacy open source frankenstack. It's a shitty Snowflake for companies that don't know how to do data engineering.

See what she did there ? ❤️

This is so typically Dutch in several ways. Bicycles are the answer. Bring them with you for 125 Euros on a plane and skip paying through your nose on transport during the World Cup. I brought my bike on trips when travelling, never regretted it “They like guns here, we like bikes” #worldcup

In other news… This girl is in the dog house as a figure of speech. She has been acting out of bounds and knows it.
