🚨🚨" Some leaders have chosen to hunt them down and deport them through operations that are both unlawful and cruel. My government has chosen a different way: a fast and simple path to regularize their immigration status." Spanish PM Pedro #Sanchez on why #migrants are essential for Western society:

We are about to go from micro services running on the cloud to monoliths running on the desktop.

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

Imagine if your lawyer submits an AI-generated court brief so bad that the judge says "goddamn dude, fuck you" and rules against you before it even goes to trial. That is what actually happened here lmao

What if generating code from scratch is cheaper than reviewing someone else's pull request? @adamhjk.me of Chef fame and I had a fun chat last week about LLM slop PRs flooding open source repos: www.linkedin.com/posts/adamja...

Observability isn’t just a tool; it’s a capability built by people. This guide by Liz Fong-Jones breaks down how to build and grow observability teams, the skills that matter most, and how to develop real in-house expertise based on lessons from real engineering orgs. Download 👉 buff.ly/3Jfc8dU

Our work on _Observability Engineering: Second Edition_ left so many things we wish we had room for but couldn't include. This is one of them, on the rise of the Platform Team and amalgamation of o11y & SRE. It's un-gated and free courtesy of me and @honeycomb.io! www.honeycomb.io/resources/gu...

Anthropic spends an awful lot of time training its models to enact this kind of character (the "constitution" goes on and on about "Claude's preferences" and such), so this reads to me more like the company role-playing with itself than any emergent novel qualities or behaviors.

If Opus 4.5 was the one that convinced devs this is a serious tool 4.6 is going to be the one that convinces non coders.

Claude Opus 4.6 verdict: highly effective, just also blew through my quota very fast. I might need to upgrade to Max 5x or 20x if I'm going to be doing this regularly. It figured out how to implement SSL fingerprinting impersonation in literally minutes, it was hella effective.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships. We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/b...

Do they honestly think this is the smart play here? All this is going to do is galvanize people that much more. He’s a 5 year old in a bunny hat.

We now have a $5000 match offer from an anonymous donor! In coordination with standwithminnesota.com and with your help, we’re going to pay rent for as many Minneapolis immigrant families in need as possible. I will post receipts! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Thank you! 🌷

So what I’m getting is he could’ve done this at any time up to now

For several days now, Elon Musk's company has effectively banned the use of its satellite communications by the Russian side, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to use the system after authorization.

It's incredible that you can use Parliamentary privilege to say basically anything without fear of being sued and 99% of people get there and are like 'thank u so much sir, allow me to doff my cap and politely inquire how i may be of service to thine holiness'.

as ever the markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent

lol at the B2C table saws for kids, now with ads, company

Woo, all of the required documents are submitted and my application for Australian citizenship is with the lawyers!

Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

AUKUS is a dead treaty walking. www.aspistrategist.org.au/just-in-case...

And this is where we get the infamous "This job sucks" comment, but the context is even crazier. Le is saying, "Your Honor, I'm actually the good guy here, I was able to get someone released. I'm trying to get them to comply." She's literally starting into the "you need me on that wall" argument!

Le then details the transfers of the detained individual, and chalks up DHS's failure to comply with her not receiving the order. Here's a little practice note: my legal career is fairly young, but I have enough self-preservation instincts to never EVER even obliquely throw paralegals under the bus

Read this starting from page 11. It's not just about her mental state (she clearly was having a mental breakdown). She actually walks through the timeline of when she started at the job (Jan 5) and then from when she started working on the case, the specific events and what time each day etc

So, it seem s clear that, at least in relation to universities, the government considers pro-Palestine actions to be antisemitic, to be determined by a few right-wing culture warriors. Great. Well done, Albo.

would sincerely like never to post one of these again. (and solidarity w our union siblings)

Tfw you look up a revanchist Japan commentator you've never heard of and realize that, despite the Japanese-sounding name, it's just some white dude (and of course he writes for Japan Forward lol)

chat is it a good thing when the US Attorney representing the DOJ is also afraid of getting disappeared by the same organizations they're representing

Please send me any photos, videos, or reports of ICE, Border Patrol, and DHS using drones that you come across!

Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.

Looks like Musk is getting deposed! Cc: @annabower.bsky.social

clearly, technology has *nothing* to do with politics or national security. clearly. gutted for every tech reporter I know at WaPo.

I take the letter as a heavily implied threat to do exactly that, though it'd be an unprecedented break-glass-in-case-of-emergency thing for somebody on the intel committee to do.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

omfg these guys

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

A Ron Wyden specialty: sending a letter in public that reveals he's seen some really bad classified shit that he wants an explanation for.

Did anyone else get like 50 emails from Zendesk asking to confirm email / activate account, from every single Zendesk client that you've ever filed a support ticket against?

"that's just a newspaper" "that's just a magazine" "just form a co-op, it's easy" no, it's not, and you're driving me nuts. the idea is to pay one fee to have access to separate publications. if it were easy, we would've done it already.

This is incredibly fucked up.

This debate or discourse or discussion about why Bezos is dismantling WaPo or whether or not more subscriptions or boycotts could change things or how he could fund it easily is pointless. It’s moot. Bezos bought the Post to control the narrative and push his agenda. Financials don’t matter.

Anyway, security culture and diversity of tactics are good, snitching with cameras is bad. Online celebrities are a risk. Also radicals sometimes over-respond by being nuclear hostile to all normies and believing messaging and public perception are always totally irrelevant.

Pretty telling that Cathy Wilcox has become a more effective political commentator with her powerful sketchings than practically any of her non-cartoonist colleagues who expend literally thousands more words every week but somehow manage to say very little or gutlessly avoid the issues altogether.

What's that you say! It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Quick reminder: these are the people to whom the Australian Government is silently handing over our data!

btw, in case you're curious and unaware, an exact 21/21 flip - with a margin this tight - is a huge flex on Jeffries' part and a gigantic fuck-you to Mike Johnson, so perhaps put some respect on his name the next time you utter it

I mean at that point in her shoes I’d do a noisy resignation, informing the court about who is deciding to ignore the courts and why with names and details before quitting Get those fuckers jailed for contempt

Oh god I should search the files for Damore, shouldn't I?

If the government won’t tell us how it’s negotiating US access to Australians’ personal information, we’ll have to extract it.

Seriously though, what is going on at a collective belief/collective behavior level that such a large number of software engineers (enough for cloud-providers to be offering PaaS one-click openclaw installs?) are running headlong into this runaway agentic AI coding craze?
