“"AI layoffs" like Block's are a race to the bottom that have nothing to do with productivity.”

> But after those layoffs come waves of rehiring

The only thing I'd add to this excellent post is that rehiring will only happen if the economy is otherwise in good shape, which is by no means certain at this point. (Oil crisis. Disasters. Trade wars. Etc. Etc.)

Since all hardware that supports AVX2 also supports BMI2, there's probably no point providing a version for AVX2 without BMI2.

agner doesn't have timings for sapphire rapids, but looking at ice lake, it's actually 2. that's pretty good considering what it's doing, i would probably actually list that, so this is clearly just being useless rather than shame at how bad it is.

let's pretend for a moment that generating tests is somehow not really vibe coding.

given the way people start at one and end up at the other, how long should you trust the assertion that it hasn't been vibe coded?

i think i upset a kernel developer by accusing them of vibe coding when they swear they've "only" had it generate tests and things.

Ah... the end of end-to-end encryption. Great news for anyone who always felt their private messages just weren't being ad-targeted and monetized enough.

Donald Trump pardoned Andrew Paul Johnson for his role in the January 6 insurrection. Johnson then used his newly acquired freedom to sexually assault two 12-year-olds. Last week he was sentenced to life in prison as the latest of a long list of Trump insurrectionists who have used their freedom to commit new crimes.

PyPI doesn't have (and is not likely to have anytime soon) Trusted Publishers support for Codeberg, but it lets you do something that's basically as good if you're looking for a convenient way to publish packages from CI: restrict an API token to allow publishing to multiple packages

import pypitoken
token = pypitoken.Token.load("pypi-YourAccountScopedTokenHere")
token.restrict(project_names=["project1", "project2"])
print(token.dump()) # => pypi-NewTokenRestrictedToThoseProjects

you can use the same library to create tokens scoped to not-before or not-after if you want, it's pretty flexible that way
