Good morning

Unattributed meme. A nine-square alignment chart, featuring signs.  Going left to right, and then top to bottom: Done with this shit / I have questions : sign riveted into a tree in a forest reads "Your GPS is wrong turn around" Done with this shit / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "128 persons have drowned in this lake. 2 wearing a life jacket. 126 not wearing a life jacket." Done with this shit / Vivid: sign reads "Danger, not only will this kill you it will hurt the whole time you're dying" Ominous / I have questions: sign reads, " if you can read this you're in range" Ominous / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "Warning! Evacuate the island if you hear 8 short blasts" Ominous / Vivid: sign showing a palm tree and three people being chased by flying black circles, reads "Beware falling coconuts" Do not test the gods / I have questions: sign reads, "if elevator does not move do a small jump it should move after" Do not test the gods / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "road may be subject to sudden catastrophic sinkhole collapse" Do not test the gods / vivid: sign crushed by falling rock reads "Falling rock"

Will you please stop wasting time on Mythos-associated FUD and try to understand that you need to build reliable and dependable software, not stuff which changes weekly, to get security?

Mythos & LLM only bring breadth and depth to automated searching, they find nothing conceptually new, if no-one had come up with buffer overflows there would be no buffer overflows coming out of Mythos.

There will be a flood of issues, as if suddenly thousands of people were dedicated to finding bugs, then it will stop.

It is an excellent chance to ask yourselves "why?" and realise that no, we don't need software like it is being built now, you need software like it was built back when downtime mattered.

"Rural states in the Midwest and Plains which rely on farming were especially hard hit by Trump’s reckless, billionaire-first policies. There’s a lot of discontent. Republican support is collapsing in areas they have traditionally thought of as their base. Farmers were already experiencing tough times in the 2020s. But Trump 2.0 has made everything worse, and his brutalization of farmers has been multi-pronged":

The binary is built. You now have an executable file named ci_runner that can process a CI-Config file.

no i don't, you didn't compile it.

  1. Ensure you have compiled the code using the provided Makefile (if you haven't already).

so you didn't then?

This binary is ready for use.

mixed messages much?

Fuck, I really hope she gets primaried.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said her budget agreement with state lawmakers includes a rollback of New York's nation-leading climate laws, arguing that "reality" calls for continued greenhouse-gas emissions.

@glyph @be @jalefkowit I can tell you a bunch of ways it's different!

The economics and attention and reason people participate is much different — there's people who approach both similarly, but by and by large they operate very differently.

And ultimately you can, mostly automatically, check if code works. The cost is low. For knitting someone has to MAKE it, and discover it late. The cost in human time is much higher

And the vendors around knitting and the vendors around programming are very very different and have different incentives.

i apparently have not found the secret cheat code that will make it actually loop trying to compile it and fixing the fucking errors.

i foolishly told it to do that, assuming that since its primary job is to do what i tell it, it would do that.

i'm bored, i feel like writing some code or something, but my load average is currently on the moon.

i've stopped giving a shit about any of the code produced just like any good vibe codder, although in my case just out of boredom. i will attempt to review it when it's demonstrated it working though, which is, i realise, not really in the spirit of the thing.

but i have to stop with my dinosaur thinking.

oh wow, it's run the compiler. or invented the output, not sure, wasn't paying attention. why should i in the era of phoning it in?

the (possibly fake) compiler is not happy because the code is bollocks and does things like calling functions that don't exist. it has returned to the prompt so i can tell it to try again.
