"Vibe coding" really is indistinguishable from playing a slot machine.

There's (for some) a degree of fun based on the hope of getting something valuable for a relatively small investment. When it won't work you just keep pulling the lever. At some point you surely will win, right?

Also with slot machines the bank always wins while slowly draining your resources.

Oh look: #discord outsourced their age verification to some vendor. You know, the #ageverification that countries like the UK want to make mandatory for basically every online service. And the vendor had a data breach exposing photos of government IDs for 70,000 people.

Do you feel safer? How many children did we protect by exposing the IDs of these 70,000 (presumably) adults? Thanks for taking one for the team, you 70,000 canaries in the #privacy coal mine.

Las leyes y sus definiciones.

La ley de montes define 'monte' como “todo terreno en el cual vegetan especies forestales, arbóreas, arbustivas, de matorral o herbáceas, sea espontáneamente o procedan de siembra o plantación, que cumplan o puedan cumplir funciones ambientales, protectoras, productoras, culturales paisajísticas o recreativas.”

Aplicando la regla de que Si A, entonces (A o B):
(A ⇒ A ∨ B)

“todo terreno en el cual vegetan especies herbáceas, que procedan de siembra, que puedan cumplir funciones recreativas.” es un "monte"

Entonces:
- un parque es un monte.
- una plantación de marihuana es un monte.
- mi maceta es un monte.

Oh my, that clown service again. In the console, they report "harmful content" they write they detected – but at the same time, their engine confirms the file being fine at VirusTotal 🤦‍♂️

Most of the time I get the idea, they just want to keep us busy with nonsense, so we cannot do the work we are here for…

Requested a review, giving them their own results to check. Yuck.

What it said:

Today in 1961, 65 years ago: in the United States, John F. Kennedy takes office as president.
What I heard:

So, uh... yeah... About that... He died in 1963. Anyway, it's bedtime.
