For those who want to test their perception of colour, I made a little game called "What's My JND"

OpenAI robotics leader resigns over concerns about Pentagon AI deal A senior member of OpenAI's robotics team said guardrails around certain AI uses were not sufficiently defined before OpenAI announced an agreement with the Pentagon.

This is not being covered enough:

Much like calculators when I was teaching math. You can use the tool as a crutch or an aid. It takes metacognitive skills to use a calculator wisely for learning.

AI Didn't Break the Senior Engineer Pipeline. It Showed That One Never Existed. Most organizations never had a model for developing engineers. They had an environment that produced growth by accident. AI just made the luck run out.

If coding is your favorite part of software engineering, keep coding. AI doesn't stop you. But if coding was the only part you were good at, that's a different conversation. The job was always bigger than the code. #bransoncognac blog.bryanl.dev/posts/ai-sen...

About a year ago I made some predictions about the effect of AI on programming jobs. Block laid off 40% of its staff claiming AI made them more efficient. Is that really true or did they just over-hire? Let's look at some data and see what's really happening.

#tc39 first class protocols proposal is fascinating.

very rust-y, traits like. really getting back to what made js so so damned good, return to a powerful complex prototypal inheritance.

seemingly a ton of momentum/contributirs. new to me but instant fast follow.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Code snippet demonstrating the `toSorted()` method, showcasing sorting of arrays without mutating the original arrays.

Code snippet demonstrating the `toSorted()` method, showcasing sorting of arrays without mutating the original arrays.

JavaScript now has non-mutating array methods ✨

`toSorted()`, `toReversed()`, `toSpliced()`, and `with()` return new arrays instead of modifying the original.

No more [...arr].sort() to avoid side effects.

The U.S. unexpectedly loses 92,000 jobs, adding to worries about the economy The job market showed further signs of weakness last month as employers cut 92,000 jobs. The unemployment rate inched up to 4.4%, from 4.3% in January.

I don't know, maybe, to me, these unemployment and job loss trends indicate that, perhaps, the economic policy of this administration ain't so great?

My son told me last night there's this new song that people trick you into watching, and it's called a rick roll for some reason. And I said, My son, I have much to teach you.

"You can only be decent because we are horrible" is a very, very popular line of thinking among horrible people.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

Judge, U.S. Attorney spar at contempt hearing over immigration court violations The hearing was called to determine whether a federal judge will hold the U.S. government in civil or criminal contempt.

This court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the United States government to comply with court orders...

> For Naur, the theory comes first. The code comes second. Understanding why the code works one way, and not the other. What was tried. What was rejected. None of that made it into the code. It only ever lived in the heads of the people who thought it through.
