Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up

78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

Golden aspens blanket the trail at Fish Lake, Utah, in a beautiful autumn display. More than beautiful—it's part of Pando, the largest living organism on Earth. Over 100 acres, sharing one vast root system, a living wonder of nature. Walking here feels like stepping through living history, every leaf connected to a single ancient being.

I'm not bothered that the same crowd that was happy joking about feeding people to alligators wants us all to act as though this wretched monster who died from the exact policies he championed should be somehow go unmocked, mourned and valorized. That's expected, there's nothing new there.

I am bothered by the people I expected to know better doing just that.

“You shouldn’t celebrate his death.”
He celebrated the deaths of Black and Brown people daily. He is a nazi. You are a nazi sympathizer.

No celebration. Just watching chickens coming home to roost, like Malcolm said.

Fake virtue signaling and demanding empathy for a man who said “empathy is for the weak” and whose actual last words were violent anti-black and anti-trans dogwhistles is absolutely delusional.

Having pity for a man who would gladly try to kill you for not being white is insane.

Live Translation with AirPods is not going to be available in the EU. This means that it doesn't use on-device AI model and the microphones forward everything to remote servers 🤯

UPDATE: Before this post goes out of control. The DMA can also be a reason why this feature is not available in the EU:

@mysk@mastodon.social @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social I would bet that this isn’t about GDPR but about the digital markets act, in which case on-device or off device doesn’t make a difference.

Are you part of an open source project with a community of users, contributors, and/or third party developers?

I want to interview people about their projects with particular attention to how codebases, documentation, project management tooling, and community spaces are constructed.

On these "project tours" we'll go through your project together, on video call, and talk about how the structure of the project influences, and is influenced by, your goals, culture, logistical constraints, etc.

For a while now I have been looking for an easy-to-use solution to track the time I spent on various tasks at my wor. My colleague has recommended Toggl, a tool to do just that in the browser. I have tried it and neither the website nor the Windows app were accessible. Thanks to somebody boosting it, I have discovered Timery for Toggl by @joehribar , a third-party client for the Toggl service. It is easy, definitely accessible and powerful with shortcuts and widgets. It's customizable to the point where i now use the VoiceOver gesture of two-finger swipe left to start a new time entry (an instance of time running), as opposed to a timer which is a predefined time counting config that creates its own time entries once launched (this I start with a two-finger swipe to the right, pick a timer from the list and go). The new time entry only requires a name and starts immediately. I can assign it to a project later. The quadruple tap with one finger resumes the recent timer and a single tap on both sides of the screen (actually the half of the gesture to enable Braille Screen Input), stops any running tracking (I'll have to change that actually as it gets triggered everytime I really try to activate BSI). The subscription is definitely worth it! I don't have to even open the app most of the time and tracking has become much easier. Thank you! apps.apple.com/pl/app/timery-f… #Accessibility #Blind #iOS

Many moons ago, a friend ran an SSH honeypot that had a unique feature: when the attacker gained "access" to the system, he could then send responses to the interactive commands the attackers executed over an IRC channel.

One day, some attacker popped in, and he started to taunt them live. Often, the attackers were just throwing in some copypasta and weren't actually checking the responses. This one time, the attacker realised what was going on and was quite amused, and started to chat back, sending fake commands to see if he would get obvious human responses back (Note: that this was well before generative AI). This went on for some time, and some kind of a connection was formed. The attacker would come back to chat with my friend, logging in over SSH to this honeypot.

Eventually, the attacker divulged other means to communicate with him. He told my friend he was a bored Romanian guy who ran a kind of academy for young hacking talent. They'd gain access to some box, install their SSH bruteforcer (random IPv4 addresses and fixed password lists), and rinse and repeat.

Eventually, the attackers seemed to stop and disappear. My friend contacted them and asked what had happened: maybe they had been caught by authorities?

No such luck. Apparently, they had discovered some addictive online game that was more interesting.
