Completely different topic, so ripping this quote out of the context from the article I just boosted:

"I wonder how much Venezuelan sensitive information was in fact stored on Google/Microsoft services and accessed by the US military to prepare their recent strike."

This is indeed a pretty […]

[Hot Take on Gen-AI]

The act of artistic creation and creativity is a unique behavior of the human species. Like bears hibernating in winter or dogs marking their territory. Art and creation are an integral component of humanity and commodification of it as such is a reprehensible stain on the […]

It's been a weird and sad few days. I was on a meeting with Vince on Friday. The news really left me off balance. He was truly everything everyone says about him and as far as the people I've worked for over my career he was absolutely one of the best to say nothing of the things he built […]

Realizing that the bulk of the tech discourse moved from Twitter to LinkedIn is fucking depressing.

Our anniversary sale is officially over, but great news! We smashed through our 5,000 goal; we're now at 5,050 paid subscribers. Thanks to everyone who joined our community over the course of the past month. We'll do our best to make it with your while (with blogs)
Exciting news! Thanks to our sale, we've rocketed all the way up to over 4,900 paying subscribers. This means we can cross another goal, a regular columnist, off our list. We plan to sort out the exact specifics in our own time, but for now, who do you think would be a good fit?

So this forecast from HSBC shows OpenAI operating at nearly a half trillion in losses until 2030. Lol.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Fun little #rustlang thing this morning: what's the fastest way to get a program to find a file recursively up from your current directory? std doesn't give a good way to access args without allocation, so we go no-std:

If you're not using jujutsu for your vcs or git-vcs yet you're doing it wrong. What an incomprehensible delight!

At some point we really have to reckon with the fact that this system we have built consistently selects the greediest, cruellest, most selfish people and puts them in charge of everything.

We may say that is not the intention, that's not how it's meant to be. But it is. Over and over again. In […]

Jeffries on CNN refusing to talk about the NYC mayoral race, a historic election in the state he supposedly represents, and Cuomo reaching out to get Trumps endorsement are both manifestations of exactly the thing voters rebuked last night.

Status quo neoliberal politics that serve the donor […]

@jana We're all now so divorced from "just getting to work on things" that everything is 20 layers of CI/CD'd, Grafana'd, Kubernetes, Load-Balanced and Fault Tolerant duct tape

Anybody aware of any employers hiring fully #remotework highly experienced senior software engineers in #gamedev or general #tech?

(When I say fully remote I mean like... Hire an American who might be interested in leaving the country and working from Europe for a few years.)

Imagine if back in the 2000s all the file sharing companies like Napster and Audio Galaxy had issued a statement that copyright laws were going to kill their industry.
