"I used Claude to make 200 pull requests last month."

That's 9 to 10 PRs per work day.

We keep hearing how it is stupid and irresponsible to take changes from a LLM without careful review by experienced developers.

You can't speak in absolutes, but generally: 9 per day is a reckless amount of PRs for one person to submit. If a project team is actually absorbing this amount of change from each developer on the team, they are rapidly paving a road to hell for themselves and their stakeholders.

The longer I think about this the more convinced I am that use of LLMs for software development is just offshoring 3.0.

Businesses are making a poorly-considered decision that if you can do things fast enough quality doesn't matter. The theory goes that you can ship crap as long as you can ship it fast, and you can ship fixes fast.

The problem is, when you ship crap, you *can't* ship fixes fast. That's literally what makes the product crap.

Yllätin itseni sillä, ettei GtS:ssä ole enempää käyttöliittymää kuin ehdoton, adminointiin vaadittava minimi, ja se nojaa enemmän mastodon-yhteensopivaan apiin ja sille tehtyihin sovelluksiin.

Joten luulen, että oon nyt kiinnostunut mastodon-ios-sovelluksista joissa on päällä merkintä siitä, että toimivat myös macbookilla.

I still find it a bit odd that Udbhav Tiwari and Meredith Whittaker (@Mer__edith) stormed off the stage at #39C3 with ~20 minutes left in their slot without answering any questions. I always think of Chaos events as being among equals, and a Q&A after your presentation is just part of that. But I guess if you are earning close to $1 million a year, you are a bit more equal than others.

I’m wondering if this was prearranged with the organizers and/or the Herold in that session.

If you use a Mac computer with MacOS 14 (Sonoma), 15 (Sequoia) or 26 (Tahoe), you can maybe help me test Gajim (a cool XMPP client) for MacOS!

You can follow instructions on this page and then tell me if it's working (or not):
lithio.fr/gajim/

For now I can only build a x86_64 (Intel) dmg.

Boost can help understanding if a version built on MacOS 14 also work on MacOS 15 and 26 :D

Thanks for your help!

Hay historias que me gusta contar todos los años. Esta noche es Nochevieja, así que aquí va la de hoy.

Este 31 de diciembre, a las 18.20 hora de Moscú, la primera cadena original (#Rusia🇷🇺 tiene dos primeras cadenas. Tiene sentido, pero ahora no importa) de la #televisión📺 rusa va a retransmitir, como todos los años, la misma película.

He ido a mirar y, para mi sorpresa, este año NO se emite 'Ironía del Destino'. En su lugar pondrán 'Moscú no cree en las lágrimas', una de las tres películas soviéticas ganadoras del Oscar y la única que no es de época. Probablemente en homenaje a su protagonista, Vera Alentova, que falleció la semana pasada.

Por cierto, ahora en Rusia 1 están poniendo la versión soviética de 'El perro del hortelano', de la que alguna vez he hablado aquí (y da fe de lo popular que sigue siendo) youtube.com/watch?v=tDt1GbUy00…

Ok, so here is a working 40KB language model for Z80. It mght be a good occasion to put the tech under the microscope and understand it through and through.

We've enabled SASL2 and XEP-0474: SASL SCRAM Downgrade Protection on XMPP.is via github.com/unredacted/xmpp.is/…

This solves one of the most important issues mentioned in our blog post unredacted.org/blog/2023/11/wh…

What we're doing in response to the jabber.ru MITM attack - Unredacted

As you may have heard, jabber.ru, a popular XMPP service discovered a sophisticated MITM attack against their service that may have lasted for up to 6 months.

There's a weird trick that people on X seem to be practicing now, where, when they want to make a reply that they posted in a thread appear to all followers, not just those who follow the thread participants, they repost the post immediately preceding that reply.

Hence the questions:

1) is it allowed to boost our own replies here, and if so, will that show them to everybody, even those who normally wouldn't see the thread? What's the best way to achieve this?

2) Will this cause other instances to fetch the entire thread from the start?

Kirjoitan Hesarin mielipidepalstalla, että sosiaalisen median kieltäminen lapsilta ei ole toimiva ratkaisu.

Käyttäjien sijaan rajoitustoimet tulee kohdistaa palvelujen tuottajiin: käyttäjen heikkouksia hyödyntämään pyrkiviä algoritmeja ja massiivista tiedonkeruuta on säädeltävä samalla tavalla kuin säädellään esimerkiksi elintarvikkeiden turvallisuutta.

Ja myös aikuisilla on oikeus terveelliseen digitaaliseen toimintaympäristöön.

Sosiaalisen median kieltäminen käyttäjiltä ei ole toimiva ratkaisu

Oikeus terveelliseen digitaaliseen toimintaympäristöön kuuluu lasten lisäksi myös aikuisille.

Day 5 - Nia (Purpose)

Its been 400 years since the start of the slave trade so people have had a very long time to vilify other people because of their skin color. Antiblackness has spread across the globe, and dark-skinned people are judged by others as soon as they are seen.
Changing that will take a long time.
I've been thinking of writing stories where that isn't the case. #Solarpunk stories. Finding a purpose can be something very small, but every little bit helps.

Day 6 - Kuumba (Creativity)

New Years Eve is a time to party and forget your troubles before the start of the new year. In Kwanzaa, it is time for Karamu Ya Imani (Feast of Faith). The value, Kuumba, should be demonstrated by crafts, music, and fun with the purpose to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
In the spirit of Kuumba, for Today's affirmation I will tell a Nancy story. Special thanks to @FreakyFwoof who contributed music.

I did something this year that I would like to recommend to everyone for the new year. Call it a Fedi Resolution if you like.

Find someone whose work you like and become their champion. Not in a creepy way, but make a point of boosting them every time they post (or post about) their work. Recommend it to people you think would like it.

The Fediverse works if it works for the people who use it. If you see someone who does something you like, lend your voice to help make it work for them.

That gpgfail comment about how they could have tanked bitcoin with a Twitter post faking a Satoshi signed message was a bit too optimistic. You're not going to cause panic unless you can move funds from his wallets. The skeptics would have quickly tried to verify with other PGP implementations and discovered the ruse
