Annoyed at the slop-coder either way, obviously.

I have to work with slop-coders for a project and I have to ask: is it an “agent” tick to rewrite node projects to run all tests in docker? So instead of running the project in the node everybody has set up, it rewrites it to run in node wrapped up in a docker image with tons of weird and unnecessary cruft.

Trying not to be annoyed at the unnecessary complexity and absolute garbage docs they keep adding (the project is already fully documented)

...and just two weeks later RSA-896 was factored by Stephen A. Weis.

"It does not impact the security of deployed RSA-2048 keys. However, it does demonstrates that RSA-1024 keys are vulnerable to many actors with data center-level fleets of GPUs."

The computation ran over a 10-day period and performed about 30 GPU-years of compute time at Anthropic.

very ironic to see a slopleader now complaining about "slop grenades" but it is a good term and it is heartening to see a zealot come to his senses https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/shopify-ceo-ai-workplace-staff-horrified-backfire

from the article:

Estimates found workers already waste 3.4 hours a month cleaning up the AI schlock, amounting to a monthly loss of $8.1 million for a workplace with 10,000 employees.

geeh wiz it's almost like WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO

Trump will try to sabotage the midterms.

We know it’s coming and we know the only thing that stops it is mass, organized, nonviolent, insistent people power.

We can’t wait until election sabotage happens to build the force that responds. Let’s get to work. https://indivisible.org/campaigns/our-vote/?source=mastodon

After over a year on Emacs, I am starting to finally use Org mode’s agenda system for daily planning, sort of a take on @macsparky’s “hyperscheduling” (which I’d also been resisting even as I started to follow more of the Productivity Field Guide’s advice).

“There's nothing stopping libraries from not accepting [the Big Five’s] terms right now."

The Big 5 have shown their cards, threatening to pull out of the library ebook market completely rather than pull up to the negotiating table in good faith.

I think it's time to call their bluff.

Trying to set up a podcast using Apple's tools for the first time in several years and... how is Apple constantly this bad at software?

Everything looks glossy but everything underneath is a mess.

Like how does itunes:explicitfalse</itunes:explicit> get flipped into "explicit"?

Is that just their initial default or something.

When you tell us that it's not your fault, because the mistake was made by AI, you are not actually getting any absolution. In fact, you just admit that you did not check the thing that was supposed to be _your_ work.
