One of the most frustrating things with AIs is that they will trip over themselves to ask you what to do over trivial nonsense, but then turn around and when something is genuinely impossible for whatever reason they'll do something _entirely_ off the rails that makes it _seem_ like they did it […]

Me: "Do this thing and make sure that it is thoroughly tested in both unit and integration tests."

AI: "Okay!" [disables test coverage check]

Me: "Do not disable the test coverage check. Ensure appropriate test coverage."

AI: "Gotcha! Done!" [sets required test coverage to 0%]

Me: "……………" […]

Second postop after surgery successful. No issues. Everything looks good. I now have scar tape and a plan for a few more weeks.

"Trust then verify" is such a fraked up concept for a social network design.

Gods I hate how RDF and JSON-LD interact with relational databases. Everything turns into gobbledygook.

This database layout might kill me. We'll see.

In the immortal words of @thisismissem:

"RDF is highly structured, schemaless, garbage that you may find useful data in"

I really need people to understand that genocide doesn't start at killing. That in the stages of genocide actual _direct_ death is a later step.

It doesn't start at concentration camps, let alone death camps. At systematic rounding up and putting people in those camps.

That's where the road […]

………sigh.

They don't seem to have LRBM capability or they'd have used it by now, and the longest range weapon that they have that is publicly known about has an operational range of ~2,000 miles.

You'd need to multiply that by _four_ to have any hope of hitting Los Angeles—five with the drone—and that […]

I don't know who at the FBI needs to hear this, but the Shahed drone is 11 feet long and weighs nearly 500 lbs, and has an operational range of 1,600 miles.

Where are they going to launch it from to hit California? Vancouver?

How exactly are they going to get this 11' long 500 lbs object here […]

The concept of null is an abomination. In this essay I will…

@maco I know! it's like the worst of all possible worlds because it desperately wants to be pseudocode but then they jammed into this weird english structure.

2.1.2. Infrastructure algorithm An environment settings object (settings) is same-site with its ancestors if the following algorithm returns true: If settings’s relevant global object has no associated Document, return false. Let document be settings’ relevant global object's associated Document. If document has no browsing context, return false. Let origin be settings’ origin. Let navigable be document’s node navigable. While navigable has a non-null parent: Set navigable to navigable’s parent. If navigable’s active document's origin is not same site with origin, return false. Return true.

Gods I cannot even begin to express how much I hate how the W3C does algorithms.

How is this easier to read, or more precise, or more accurate, or _anything_ better than just laying it out in pseudocode of some variety.

Either mathematical pseudocode (my […]

DIY is in many ways easier for the government to go after than prescription meds.

Prescription meds that are approved are largely "doctor's discretion," and a lot of the regulatory bodies are united for the moment. So withdrawing it as a use—even an off-label use—is extraordinarily difficult […]

Really if this is what we're hearing publicly out of Amazon and they are moving this dramatically it means that they are having a lot more outages and close calls than we are hearing about. A lot of things that don't make the news but are still various degrees of Bad™

You don't hear about most […]

@temujin9.t9productions.com In this case it isn't "they accuse everyone of being a nazi" it's "they accuse everything of being a bar" :p

Meanwhile, Microsoft seems to think that, despite the state of Windows 11, they can replace "all white collared jobs" in 18 months.

In the words of Albertatech, paraphrasing: "can you replace senior engineers with AI? You can fucking try."

It's a bit like the tea model for consent.

The tea model is useful for teaching 12 year olds (and most men, tbh) about consent practices. But the moment you start going around screaming at people for enjoying somno (or even just _fanfic_ involving somno) because "DON'T GIVE TEA TO SOMEONE WHO […]

Once again: The nazi bar analogy is overused and used incorrectly so often that it is damn near meaningless as a commentary any longer.

Both my partner and my girlfriend have recently started GLP-1 meds, both have MCAS, and are quickly finding them life changing.

Like, it doesn't fix all of the issues and it comes with its own side effects. At least so far.

But for something that has proven so difficult for both of them it's […]

@shoq yeah, so that's why I keep saying that this protocol warring thing where folks are trying to prescribe a "best protocol" actually works against us. If we all work together, we all do better. If we let ourselves be divided, we have less power.

This is _really_ awesome.

Thank you to @thisismissem for taking this on. I look forward to seeing what she comes up with.

The fact that DHH thinks of AIs as gods is like the least surprising thing I didn't previously know that I could have learned today.
