What I hate the most is that we at the receiving end are the ones who are expected to act professionally. After being insulted by slop, we have to explain the rejection compassionately, else the human forwarding the llm output may get personally offended.

I started by beginning my issue/pr templates with a little "Use your own words", and feared that was being a little too passive aggressive. But this does not keep people from handing me slop. Reminds me of the time I had to give up on subtly, after learning internet dwellers generally cannot read between the lines, except to assume the worst. But okay, I'll escalate and tell you more explicitly to involve your brain or get lost.

Day 1, 09:14 UTC — Three further commercial scanners exhaust their context windows on dist/vendor.min.js: 600 KB of the Bee Movie screenplay, then the second-stage loader. One reports that according to all known laws of aviation, the package poses no threat.

Bwahahahaha

daniel berntsson, one of mullvad's two founders and owners, has donated millions to a local fascist/populist party. (swedish link to flamman, a socialist news site)

the örebro party are mainly known for using unusually aggressive rhetorics and racism.

in the article, berntsson specifically mentions supporting the örebro party's politics of forced repatriation of swedish citizens born abroad.

Until a few years ago in Poland there used to be a local bus line 666 to Hel, but the number was changed after Catholics complained 🙄

Now Flixbus opened a line 666 from Kraków to Hel, so it's finally back ;3

Similarly, do not leave your phone sitting in the sun in your parked car for even a moment in weather like this. Devices like iPhones are well-protected against lithium electrolyte thermal runaway, but that protection does rely on the environment being a place where the phone’s heat can go AWAY to, not a place where extra heat is coming from. A hot car in the sun with no ventilation is not a place where extra heat can go.

As a former Texan, I want to stress this for any of my European friends that this is *in no way* hyperbole: “literally actually dead” means dead. Not “they might be sick if you don’t make sure to go quickly” but “you will rush back to your car and then you will have to plan a funeral”. It is *shocking* how fast a child can die in a parked car even with the windows down, and every few years an immigrant to Texas from cooler climates learns this the hard way.

One more “Peoples of the North, hear my plea” for the Netherlands and friends today:

If you leave your child or dog in the car today while you run into the grocery store, they will seriously actually literally be dead by the time you get back.

When I lived in Virginia, they put signs up in grocery store parking lots with dog icons to remind you of this. It only takes a few minutes of a windows-closed car parked in direct heatwave sunlight to kill a toddler or a dog.

Since such heat rarely happens here, I expect a lot of people don’t realize just how serious this is.

this is very annoying. mmap promised to let the kernel manage filesystem cache. that meant i didn't have to write a buffer manager, which is a very nontrivial thing to do well (and i have no experience at all of doing, well or otherwise)

i have had it pointed out to me that mmap is terrible, somehow actually worse than i thought. unsalvageable, in fact.

To recap—in the last week Zohran Mamdani
•Banned ICE fascists from all city property
•Went 8 for 8 in his endorsements winning their elections
•Has now frozen rent for 1 Million rent-stabilized apartments for the next 2-years—for the first time in NYC history

Reminding everyone again that if politicians wanted to—they would. This is the power of people funded public servants, not corporate bought politicians. ❤️✊🏽
