I'm not going to link to it, it's disgusting as hell, but JKR has *again* gone after Imane Khelif, hours apart from her lauding the HBO reboot trailer.

Support of her show *necessarily* validates not only her transphobia, but also her using transphobic hate to justify racism.

CSS is DOOMed!

I've build DOOM in CSS and every wall, floor, barrel, and imp is a div, positioned in 3D space using CSS transforms.

Try it out! But... not every browser can handle it. This is taking the browser to its limit. Chrome has some issues. Safari too. Bugs will be filed.

so I got laid off again, for stupid AI-pilled reasons.

Anybody need a writer or editor with:
- 8+ years of technical writer/content strategist experience, mostly in software
- One published short fiction anthology (as editor)
- A master's degree in sociolinguistics
- A knack for learning new content management systems
- A love of working with invested SMEs
- A basic understanding of web dev
- Strong boundaries
- An aversion to generative AI?

Prioritizing remote work in Canada.

Just absolutely no regard for security at all. None. The entire burden of self-protection shifted to humans alone at their endpoints in systems and communities entirely, foundationally built on mutual trust and trustworthiness.

Man, LLMs really drive home the lesson that people differ *greatly* in how much they care whether the statements they make are accurate.

Small addendum: security flaws are a tiny tiny tiny subset of the vast potential menagerie of bugs you can get in a real-world piece of software. Even if this did pan out, it wouldn't come close to fully repairing the damage of the code slop-apocalypse.

While Wikimedia content is free, the infrastructure that serves it is not.

Thanks to improvements in bot detection, more than *2 billion* requests per day get currently blocked, which would have otherwise caused further strain on the infrastructure.

There is no such thing as an " alpha " in a wolf pack. An early study that coined the term "alpha wolf" had only observed unrelated adult wolves living in captivity. In the wild, wolf packs operate like families: parents are in charge until the young grow up and start their own families, and younger wolves do not overthrow an "alpha" to become the new leader. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%5Fof%5Fcommon%5Fmisconceptions%5Fabout%5Fscience,%5Ftechnology,%5Fand%5Fmathematics#Mammals

I just saw someone unironically write that they do not trust Firefox because they do not trust a browser paid by google to include AI slop features, and that’s why they prefer Chrome.

Mathematicians are threatening to boycott the field’s largest, most prestigious gathering this summer
if it takes place in the U.S., as currently planned.

Every four years since the turn of the twentieth century,
the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) has brought together mathematicians from all over the world to share the latest breakthroughs and plot the field’s future.

Famous speeches delivered at the congress have gone on to redefine entire subfields of math.

The ICM is also where math’s most hallowed prize, the Fields Medal, is awarded.

This July, the ICM is slated to take place in Philadelphia
—the first time in 40 years that it’s been held in the U.S.

Now a petition to move the event elsewhere is circulating among mathematicians.

It cites the recent American military actions in Venezuela and Iran,
the suspension of visas from 75 countries
and the continued presence of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across major U.S. cities
as contrary to the ICM’s goal of fostering “a sense of international unity amongst mathematicians.”

As of this writing, more than 1,500 mathematicians have signed the petition,
which states that they plan to boycott the event if it isn’t moved outside the U.S.

The list of signatories includes many of the field’s most prominent names,
more than 50 of whom have spoken at previous congresses.
