Re:NSA is using Anthropic's Mythos despite blacklist on Monday April 20, 2026 @02:50PM (#47838856)
This is all just a pump for their IPO so...
When I loaded the page I saw a bunch of placeholder text like "Hero title" for a second then an AI-generated image was the first thing I saw after that. Doesn't inspire confidence that it's "expert crafted."

70+ languages and 700+ courses would imply a staff of people were required to create something like this (if it's of any quality), but it's a "side project"?

Strains credulity.

disruption is a code word for deregulation, and deregulation is bad for everyone except execs and investors
Outsourcing, end of ZIRP, end of R&D tax credit. Macro-economic conditions are pushing companies to do more with fewer people. AI might be helping with this, but it's pure marketing BS to blame it for the state of tech employment.
Re:What even is "literate programming"? on Sunday December 07, 2025 @10:52AM (#46182583)
Isn't Org Mode and your LISP of choice the ideal literate programming environment? I'm surprised REPL-based LISP isn't mentioned at all.
Re:Rubygems.org AWS Root Access Event – September 2025 on Thursday October 09, 2025 @04:12PM (#45532496)
So is this a smear of Arko (and by extension Ruby Gems' sloppy security) but dressed up like a Security disclosure?

If I'm reading it right, it seems quite petty (and a bit cowardly). Arko was a maintainer was he not? How is that a breach? Presumably his credentials were not misbegotten, or is that the accusation?

Re:Nostr on Friday September 19, 2025 @02:13PM (#45304693)
My "apolitical" shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt. What an odd word to use in the first sentence of your product description, which also includes the word "open", an inherently political concept in this context.

Did/does Nostr have some cryptocurrency connection or am I thinking of something else?

I use Intellij Idea and I don't want to learn a new IDE. Claude Code is an easy TUI, unlike Vim or Emacs. It's a simpler solution to me.

Why would we want unsafe vehicles to reach consumers? Better that they don't reach the showroom if that's the case.

I truly do not understand how Noah Smith, a truly vapid and frankly unintelligent writer, makes it to the front page of this website so often. His writing goes whichever way is soothing to those with money and power.

Same. It's great. And I set Logseq to use Org format instead of MD in case I ever want or need to move my notes into Org Roam proper (e.g. if Logseq goes kaput someday).

You are using people from a marginalized group (the poor), of which I am assuming you are not a part, as a bad faith shield to justify your anti-worker viewpoint.
