Hat tip to whoever's causing Reddit to send me password recovery emails. Guessing maybe it's my participation in /r/noai?

Content warning: open source software drama, nvim-treesitter
open source software developers are getting fed up and are finally recognizing that they can just fucking leave.
the owner of nvim-treesitter gets a really shitty comment from a user saying that the update to a required version broke their workflow
the owner replies saying "hey just pin what you need instead of mainlining it if you need this for an older version"
the shitty user replies back saying "go switch to something that doesn't require interacting with people"
the owner says "OK." and ARCHIVES THE REPO

The lunacy of Artemis Dan Lyke / comment 0
Maciej Ceglowski: The lunacy of Artemis:
Advocates for Artemis insist that the program is more than Apollo 2.0. But as we’ll see, Artemis can't even measure up to Apollo 1.0. It costs more, does less, flies less frequently, and exposes crews to risks that the steely-eyed missile men of the Apollo era found unacceptable. It's as if Ford in 2024 released a new model car that was slower, more accident-prone, and ten times more expensive than the Model T.
Of course I mostly go back to: WTF are we doing with crewed exploration in the twenty fucking twenties. Not only is sending out robots cheaper, we learn a hell of a lot more. It's just propaganda dickwaving to put humans in harm's way.

speed of writing code is not the problem Dan Lyke / comment 0
Andrew Murphy: If you thought the speed of writing code was your problem - you have bigger problems. He mentions Eli Goldratt's The Goal, which, of course, I remember reading back in high school 'cause my Dad was in management consulting at the time.
From this Elizabeth Ayer @elizayer@mastodon.social thread, I quote tooted the second in that thread with:
I think we've got a whole lot of people building software who both have no experience with the actual users of that software, and have no conceptual model for what the software does internally.
Years of "Agile" and using writing software to prototype have destroyed our collective ability to engage with the processes that we used to use.
security report tsunami Dan Lyke / comment 0
Maybe the LLM coding tools are getting better? daniel:// stenberg:// @bagder@mastodon.social
The challenge with AI in open source security has transitioned from an AI slop tsunami into more of a ... plain security report tsunami. Less slop but lots of reports. Many of them really good.
I'm spending hours per day on this now. It's intense.
Artemis IT disasters Dan Lyke / comment 0
You've probably seen the stuff from the Artemis II mission about Bluetooth pairing issues and Microsoft Outlook ... well ... there's no way to put those words together without some sort of "clusterfuck" semantics. Anyway, Becca Royal- Gordon @beccadax@soincredibly.gay
Hot take: The Artemis livestream is a damning indictment of modern computing devices. It seems like half the radio chatter is troubleshooting email delivery problems, confusing user interfaces, or devices not booting or connecting. Literal astronauts with years of training can’t make our stuff work.

Numerous social media folks are also making "Thunderbird" comments... I think this is a reminder that it's time for me to get back on Claws.

Echo Chamber in your pocket Dan Lyke / comment 0
Campus Computing Center of the United Nations University: The Echo Chamber in Your Pocket
Two landmark papers from MIT and Stanford now offer formal proof of what many suspected: sycophantic AI is not merely annoying. It is systematically eroding both our grip on reality and our capacity for moral repair.
Science: Sycophantic AI decreases prosocial intentions and promotes dependence Myra Cheng, Cinoo Lee, Pranav Khadpe, Sunny Yu, Dyllan Han, and Dan Jurafsky (preprint mentioned previously, a mention in the Stanford Report)

NPR catches up with AI in legal Dan Lyke / comment 0
NPR: Penalties stack up as AI spreads through the legal system. Mostly stuff we've already seen, but it's good to see the mainstream catching up. Via.
Waymo safety vs buses & trains Dan Lyke / comment 0
Thread from Bryan Culbertson 🥄 @bryanculbertson.com about normalizing self-driving car trips vs different factors, and comparing those to other modes, and pointing out that autonomous vehicles need are still 100x more dangerous than public transit modes.

Demand is low enough that you might actually have to get Iran to bomb your data center for the insurance money rather than claim you're gonna achieve "AGI" next year this time for sure really...

I have been trying to not work out square dance choreography puzzles I'm my head when I have down time, and it's reminding me of how much I miss programming with like real data structures and stuff.
