openjdk.org/legal/ai Turns out it's totally possible and reasonable for a large OSS project to ban AI contributions.

I'll be in London for almost 3 days next week! Haven't been since 2013. What can't I miss? (Also who wants to grab a pint or two?)

Everytime I learn more about software I am more surprised that the entire world is not on fire, all the time.

Anti-War protest tonight at 6 pm at the White House. Spread the word!

In the first moments after losing contact with Earth, on the dark side of the moon, they at maple cream cookies. MAPLE CREAM COOKIES!!!!!!!!!! ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOOON !!!!!!!!!!!! 🇨🇦🌑🇨🇦🌑🇨🇦🌑🇨🇦🌑🇨🇦🌑🇨🇦🌑🇨🇦🌑🇨🇦🌑🇨🇦🌑🇨🇦🌑🇨🇦 🌑

Tuned in to the NASA broadcast and Trump is talking to Jeremy Hansen and I just want to fucking barf. Way to ruin one of the most amazing things to happen in history with this fuckin guy.

Does that "SCIENCE" hexagon patch exist anywhere I can buy it? Can I get it as a laptop sticker?

For some extra fun, consider how old that movie is today compared to how many years after the actual mission it was made. 👀

A thing I wrote into my work slack just now: "The previous record was set in 1970 by Apollo 13 astronauts Kevin Bacon, Tom Hanks, and Bill Paxton."

I guess we're not moving to Boston.

Babys 1st tornado warning

There's a Canadian on his way to the Moon right now and I refuse to not be annoyingly excited about this.

Is there a good guide for migrating PDS to cryptoanarchy.network or myatproto.social while preserving my custom-domain handle?

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

It's 2026Q2, and yes, megarepos still suck.

Is there any Node.js on Artemis II?

I thought my next blog post would be something annoying about AI. Instead it's something annoying about space, and Canada.

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch: This is Victor. We are going for our families. This is Christina. We are going for our teammates. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...

What are the 5 Canadian products? The maple syrup and what else?

As much as I'm not a fan of current NASA direction, and as much as I hate international borders, and as much as space exploration should have nothing to do with countries ..... I'm super proud, nearly to the point of tears, that the first non-American to leave Earth's orbit will be Canadian. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I respect that the leaked source code for the Claude client is protected by copyright. But wouldn’t it be ok for me to train my LLM on it? You know, fair use and all that. Asking for a friend

"It's impossible to enjoy an AI discussion no matter what side you're on" @jasnell.me with the real facts here

Protect trans kids.

Once more for the folks in the back: Please don't get "nuance" and "hypocracy" all mixed up.

Ahhh, the push and pull of "I need completely up to date dependencies so I get security fixes immediately!" and "I need packages N days old so I don't get affected by the latest npm malware!"

The whole "lay everybody off so we don't have to pay anyone" bit of capitalism seems at odds with the "we need a strong middle class to buy things and make us rich" bit of capitalism.

A propos of nothing: It's entirely possible to be a massive critic/hater/whatever of AI/LLMs and still use the tools. Nuance is a real thing, folks! (Not to mention mandates, people trying to keep their jobs, etc.)

Big hugs for anyone dealing w/ axios today.

"AI bans are unenforceable" is something I keep hearing. And yet ...

Ironically, the strongest I've felt that leaving this industry is the right move, the least it's been feasible for me financially.

There's a reason I was never in debate club in high school. I'm really not good at this.

Can bots (even non-LLM automation) agree to a DCO?

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

movie about all the world's nations working together to stave off an environmental apocalypse succeeds by completely avoiding politics

learning what "vibe coding" is sure did eliminate my impostor syndrome. like at least i know what my code does

The Island (2005)

kind of seems like the people saying data center energy use is overstated were full of shit

Anybody personally attacking Matteo over this should also personally attack me, since I have open PRs on Node.js core written with Claude Code.

Fedor Indutny (mean.engineer/@indutny) is running a petition to ban LLM-written contributions to Node.js core. If you think that's a good idea, you should sign the petition. You can do that on github or on change dot org. github.com/indutny/no-a... or change.org/p/no-ai-code-in-node-js-core

"Okay, they're concentration camps by known defintiions, but at least they're not death camps!" Whoops!

Arguments about LLM usage should not be limited to immediate and clearly-visible concerns. The bigger picture is extremely important, from copyright law to literally the future survival of humanity. That may sound extreme, but it's true of anything that relates to climate change concerns.

Reminder that just because a technology is "new" does not mean it's "good" or that the tradeoffs always land positively for everyone. Reminder also that I'm not necessarily talking specifically about the technology you think I'm talking about.

If I said that some of your favorite VCs lacked the ability to introspect, and that they spent close to zero time thinking about how their actions had negative impacts on the world? You'd probably say that I was being unfair, by practically calling them psychopaths. They say this about themselves!

If we're taking about "games" as an art form, particularly id we want to de-emphasize the "win", maybe we ought to find a better word than "game".
