the most important part of #Unicode history is when a mouse fell out of a light fixture and got added to the count of members present at a Technical Committee meeting (9 Nov 2016)

Telling an undergraduate cs students that they never have to learn how to code cuz of ai is the equivalent of telling a 5 year old u dont need to learn addition cause calculators exist

Very cool video on the data infrastructure in place at cadillac, for data collection and how they deal with it.
considering F1 is optimized to the teeth, would love to learn how the bigger teams like Mercedes, Ferrari and RB collect data and deal with it.
Cant imagine the wicked engineering going on here :)
“just one more prompt, bro!” by @davidgerard nails how chatbots implement the typical patterns of addictive design, with their stochastic responses working beautifully as selective reinforcement.
Disassembling a 6000-pieces puzzle that you worked on for 6 months feels like deleting code you maintained for a long time: Oddly satisfying and sad at the same time.
F1 at this point is just trying to ragebait you every single race.
Absolute shambles

Building with AI without understanding the code is like MASTURBATION.
You get the dopamine rush because grok, claude, or gpt
fast stroked you in 2 minutes.
Then you need to jump to another software and another ... And get depressed when the provider raise price or change the model.
In Porn, we have a generation of men that ship 'stuff' 10 time per day but then once you put them next to a real girl, they FLOP and fold like minable. They can't speak with female without thinking about sex.
In Software, we have already a generation of people that understand absolutely nothing on what they building. Once you corner them with questions they cannot answer without LLM, they get upset. Very upset. They SLOP.
When i show them my stack, they are : What about user engagement, stars, fork, ect.
I maintained https://github.com/state-machines/state_machines for years .
Early this year, i had 50 fork but it being used by 8000+ projects including spree, solidius, shopify, stripe and was used in Twitter.
it has low level of fork, because people don't have to fork, it has most feature that they need. i got 50 more forks, 0 contributions which prove how SE is broken.
Now i see projects that are essentially just md files getting forked 100k times.
We are deep into the idiocracy world.
Back in the 1980s Mr. Griffiths taught Computer Science in my local school. Two maxims he repeated almost every week have stuck with me for decades.
"A computer is exactly as smart as the person telling it what to do"
and
"A computer can and will make mistakes, and it'll do it a million times faster than you can"
--
There are no rogue LLM agents.
Only negligent people telling computers what to do.
And letting them make mistakes a million times faster than ever before.
holy shit I got a free NordVPN subscription and their macOS client installs an endpoint kernel extension that just hangs around after an uninstall. There was a constant com.nordvpn.macos.Shield process.
I had to boot into recovery and disable SIP to get rid of it. Part of that is on macOS that it allows to install extensions but systemextensionsctl can't uninstall them.
But still, this is malware-grade behavior; especially given how sketch they are in general.
