after more than a decade as an intruder in the software development industry, i feel like i've finally seen enough of technology & politics to retroactively contextualize all my pain

the way my body looks and my insistence on coherent affect really did not make me a "good programmer" from the point-of-view of my former colleagues and superiors

now i can "see like a government". i can also see like the profit-driven industry that is allergic to affect as such

If you aren't familiar with the horror that is the Icelandic cuisine known as "svið" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svi%C3%B0

This raven is picking the meat off a sheep's jaw. I'm guessing somebody threw their "svið" leftovers out for the ravens to enjoy. #birds #iceland #raven

This is precisely the kind of thing we're talking about, when we're talking about #digitalSovereignty - even if Palantir wasn't a very dubious organisation, we still shouldn't be sending our citizens data to overseas orgs. The risks are too great, and the outcomes are permanent.

Oh my god. The Vegan Teacher is back. 😅

This lady was causing all sorts of drama on tiktok back in the day. She wrote a song that made an acrostic for the n word, trying to make it into a positive thing. Just absolute rancid, narcissistic stuff.

I can't believe she's active again. We really have lost the ability to shame people.

Shout out to all my vegan friends who cringe at her existence. We know almost no one is actually like this is real life.

“"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?
