[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

LLMs are like overconfident white men. They may be wrong but they say it with such authority that people believe them.

Use Python for Scripting! "Use the right tool" is nice in theory, but not when the tool acts a bit differently from machine to machine, and isn't always installed.

I wrote a blog post about why you should throw away Bash and use Python for more complicated scripts. It's not surprising, but I think too many people forget it's even an option:

Excellent talk! Highly recommended!

How ICE Spies On WhatsApp ICE’s HSI division gets contacts from the WhatsApp account of a fake ID dealer and has little trouble identifying them, according to warrant.

The primary advantage of using Signal over WhatsApp is that Signal does not store metadata. Just sayin'.

Okei. Helt seriøst nå.

MDG måles til 7,1%. Det er vilt bra!
Men dette er IKKE trygt.

Sist vi fløy så høyt var i 2021. «Klimavalget». ALLE trodde MDG skulle ta sperregrensa.

Vi kom skarve 1721 stemmer unna.

Det kommer til å skje igjen om du ikke stemmer grønt i dag.

Bli med på vinnerlaget!💚

Sånn gjør hun Cursor enda kraftigere Marina Santos Haugen i Kodemaker har gode tips til hvordan du gjør Cursor mye bedre.

– Jeg har alltid ønsket meg en par-programmerer, skriver Marina i @kodemaker.bsky.social. 💃🕺

Nå har hun, med litt jobb, funnet en:

An Open Source sustainability story in two slides. (for a coming talk of mine)

Slide 1: car brands using #curl

Det er litt spesielt når hun som kan bli den yngste på Stortinget noensinne er den voksne i rommet.

Skydebatt i Stortinget: − Farlig å gjøre seg avhengig av ustabile land MDG vil ha en «strategi for gradvis løsrivelse fra digitale løsninger som overfører norske persondata til USA». Det vil ikke regjeringen.

− Farlig å gjøre seg digitalt avhengig av ustabile land, sier @ingridlil.bsky.social

You know what’s worse than an idiot? An idiot with an LLM.

"Your health records will be on the block chain."
"Everyone will live in the Metaverse."
"All art will be NFTs."
"Generative AI will replace the need for humans."

We need to reckon with the reality that the tech industry no longer creates things that anyone wants.

Ikke så rart avisene ikke fokuserer på dette når det er de som er lovbryterne😔

Nye cookie-regler fra 1. januar Kravene til samtykke for bruk av informasjonskapsler (cookies) og lignende teknologier ble skjerpet 1. januar.

De nye reglene om cookies fra 1.januar sier tydelig at « Kravene til et gyldig samtykke innebærer blant annet at det skal være like lett å si nei som å si ja til å samtykke.» Dette er stikk i strid med det jeg opplever på norske nettaviser. www.datatilsynet.no/aktuelt/aktu...

Don't.

Cruiseskipet «Asuka 3» skriver navnet sitt med gps-loggen. Litt morsomt, men lurer på hvor mange liter diesel dette brenner opp🫤

Ok, det å skrive om gammel, stygg og uleselig kode til noe vakkert kan kanskje måle seg. ❤️‍🔥

Samtykkelov er helt uproblematisk for alle som er flinke til å forsikre seg om at begge parter er med på dette. Hvis en samtykkelov endrer virkeligheten din så var det på tide. Takk, det var alt.
