Hey all, I decided to write up some of my thoughts in more detail about why I don't vibe code, in case it's interesting to any of you

Illustration of an anthropomorphised Brontosaurus in an early 19th century dress standing with a quill pen in her right hand at a writing desk with a sheaf of papers. She faces left, but her head is turned slightly towards the viewer. Beneath the desk are scattered a few more sheets of a manuscript. In the background, a framed silhouette portrait of the head and neck of another sauropod hangs on the wall.
Brontësaurus.

Because this seems to be doing the rounds again elsewhere. Perhaps the only piece of mine to have gone mildly viral, shunted uncredited like an orphan from workhouse to workhouse across the Internet over the years. 🤓

I've heard a number of reports recently about people setting up LLM agents to work on their email and other communications. I think this is extremely risky

"If you are experimenting with OpenClaw, do not do it on a company device. Full stop."
"If you have already run OpenClaw on a work device, treat it as a potential incident and engage your security team immediately."

Another one for my series of comics on Theoretical Physicists . This one is an EPICALLY niche joke about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. An illustration of Werner Heisenberg driving a 1930s style car down a German street Text reads: Werner Heisenberg got lost every time he checked his speedometer Jaunty Art 26

In The End of the Dream, Wylie writes about President Nixon, but the book was published (and the author died) during Nixon's term. Old books are curious looks into another time.
An interesting side effect of reading science fiction from the 1970s is that many take place in far future years like 2020 (A Talent for the Invisible by Ron Goulart) and 2023 (The End of the Dream by Philip Wylie).
I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics. Sigh.
So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.
Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

A faint fingerprint on the page of a paperback book.
Another faint fingerprint. Another connection to a previous reader of this 47 year old book.
Side note: the printing of this particular book makes fingerprints more likely (similar to how newsprint smudges). #books #booksky
A faint fingerprint on a page in a paperback book.
The joys of reading used books: a faint fingerprint, and now I'm curious. Who are you, previous reader? Are you the original purchaser from 47 years ago? Or are you someone closer in time? I am sharing an experience with someone I will never know. #booksky #books

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I’m running for the @dotnetfoundation.org board!
I would be honored to have your support, and if you're comfortable, a share of this post and recommendation to others in the .NET community.

This is a nice change in .NET. There are organizations that have hesitated moving to a STS-bound version of .NET because of the smaller support window. This effectively gets rid of that concern.
