The concerns about Mythos-class models and cybersecurity were not, in fact, hype. (As anyone using Fable to do autonomous work has probably recognized)

Coworker, quickly hanging up when Teams-calling me: "sorry, I just noticed you're in a meeting" Me: np, also you're actually in the same meeting

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

My biggest secret is making jalapeño poppers whose peppers didn't actually come from Jalapa

I still miss the J key

"Ben owns a farm. He employs 100 workers. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10% productivity gain. Ben fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000% productivity gain..."

Wat een majestueuze rouwadvertentie.

This is widely theorized by scholars to be beyond the scope of human ability

I have just had my first kernel panic! It is very much my own fault. Managed to run Linux at home for about a quarter of a century while avoiding it but it happened to me today. 🥲

For two decades I've been too lazy to code and deploy this tool, but here: this takes a sequential pdf and returns an imposed zine version: humaniterations.net/imposedonline/

This is for a system to access court records in the state of New Jersey. They make you use MFA but omg what is this.

Are you in academia? You'll want to read this thread.

I feel like the lady in the Monty Python SPAM skit, but everything on offer is AI

i think the scummiest part of LLM codegen is that you never know if you're getting an amalgamation of some common idea it's been trained on a million copies of, or just getting One Guy's passion project with the identifiers changed a bit, a thing i have overheard happening more than once

Commentary: I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

Watching How It's Made feels like how I imagine it would feel to be able to take your brain out of your skull for a while. That theme song starts and I'm drooling on the couch, no thoughts, head empty

SPIDER-NOIR: The New York Times calls it a washout, and adds DOA. It's much better than that. A lovingly created caricature of film noir that's mesmerizing in its carefully created look (Dutch angles aplenty) and snappy dialogue. It's heartfelt and fun, the last thing from DOA.

Sorry to hear about the health troubles of an excellent and very kind and supportive Rust crate author.

Ok this is a truly great tweet

this is kubernetes

Turns out $600 billion can't buy the ability to take a joke

The whole premise of this "ballroom" is that you've got the nation's most secure military command center in the basement, and a top-security military drone installation on the roof, and between the two is an impossible-to-secure quasi-public space for foreign spies to have dance parties.

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

Slightly diminish a book: Catch-21

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

The only exceptions to this are Waymo cabs

I've been lagging behind the AI coding thing a bit, so I just tried a bit of vibe coding and I think I see what the big deal is now. Claude is pretty good at understanding what you want, it doesn't always do exactly what you ask but it usually does. The result is not super pretty but it works.

I’m old enough to remember when only rich people had waterbeds and then when only poor people had waterbeds

PSA for Linux admins: for #dirtyfrag and #copyfail, I see people claim everywhere that blacklisting the modules is enough, but IT IS NOT. If you're mitigating manually yourself, do the /bin/false thing the respective vulnerability publishers recommend. That works. Again, blacklisting DOES NOT WORK.

Canvas is hacked and stressing out 230+ million students, teachers and staff during finals. What does this mean and how do we stay safe? What are the next steps for the 8,800 affected schools during finals. Answered below in my video:

Microsoft figured out a way to upset all the VS Code users: Add a comment to commits that says "co-authored by copilot" even when the feature is not used. github.com/microsoft/vs...

several years ago there was a campaign of North Korean threat actors targeting high-profile security researchers. they opened with a cold DM just saying “hello” several people fell for this. you will be shocked to learn that not a single woman was among them

#hugops for the folks at Canonical!

There's still good news to be found in this world

As a Dutchman this is my time to shine! I have no idea.

Dudes: women are irrational Also dudes: my city is better than your city

"Cloud is too expensive, let's build a data center." If your engineering team hears this and doesn't immediately look ill, they haven't done this before. An AZ is a data center. You're not simplifying. duckbillhq.com

Okee maar dit is niet een situatie die ineens om de hoek is komen kijken. Hier is een lange en wettelijk correcte procedure aan vooraf gegaan. Ik kan me niet aan de indruk onttrekken dat er in het geheel legio kansen van experts zijn gemist om deze situatie te voorkomen.

Here is an easy solution: Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves. Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled. Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.

I too aspire to have an API limit and for you to either pay me more to keep working, or wait until after I've had a nap

I hate security and i love this video youtu.be/M1si1y5lvkk?...

That feeling when something was not on your bingo card when it absolutely should have been

I don't care about Lauren. I want to read about Mackenzie!

Forest Warrior (1996). A bunch of loggers want to cut down the forest, and some teens want to stop it, but luckily Chuck Norris, whose brother directed the piece, sporting one of those Davy Crockett hats, is here to help and he can turn into a bear and beat up the loggers.
