This is very silly and basically right. https://grugbrain.dev
at most tech companies there’s the concept of a P0 (through P3/P4) or SEV0 (through SEV3/SEV4) incident, with lower numbers indicating a higher priority incident or outage.
what would be a higher priority than even SEV0?

Social media be like: “omg this is great/awful/changes everything and I feel this is super important” without any mention of what they are referring to.
Me, googles latest news to guess what happened: “aw another US politics nonsense”
The more you understand computers, the more you value systems without them.
Found a bug of the "I have no idea how that could have possibly worked" kind:
class arena {
std::vector<std::unique_ptr<intptr_t[]>> allocs_;
public:
intptr_t* allocate(size_t n) {
allocs_.emplace_back(new intptr_t[n]);
return allocs_.end()->get();
}
};
</std::unique_ptr<intptr_t[]>
Notice that instead of returning the last element, the code returns the end()
iterator which points to after the last element. To random memory. Oops?..
It's really annoying how many coding-oriented LLM say nothing about the licensing of the datasets they have been trained on. Every now and then I research if I can use fancy AI completion for my open source work and the answer is the same: yolo. The tooling is great - you can spin up a model in like 5 minutes plus download time. The legality of it continues to be ignored my just about everyone.
Pleeease give me a model registry and an option to filter on compatibility with the license of my project. Is that too much to ask?
Okay so you know, bunch of shitposting and all that, but a serious interlude:
Someone pushed the button to start this rollout. They are probably having a _really_ bad time right now.
If someone at Crowdstrike knows who that is, please go and check on them, give them a hug, tell them it's not their fault, that it's going to be okay. No matter what the company line is on blameless culture whatever, the lizard brain is in charge right now and needs reassurance.
What the actual fucking dickens.
It's probably more expensive to deprecate this than to keep it going ~indefinitely. It's also the exact opposite of Universally Accessible and useful.

Tomorrow, the @InternetArchive is appealing in court for the right to own and preserve digital books, including half a million books that this suit forced them to remove from their library.
But it’s not book banners they’re up against, it’s Big Publishing. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/06/internet-archive-forced-to-remove-500000-books-after-publishers-court-win/
To use the Montreal subway, you tap a paper ticket against the turnstile and it opens. But how does it work? And how can the ticket be so cheap that it's disposable? I opened up the tiny NFC chip inside to find out more... 1/15
sometimes this is how work in #infosec feels
Knowing a bit about how sausages are make (not at Apple specifically), I'm willing to bet that this isn't as much "withholding features" as "getting on the hype train asap, but doing it in a DMA-compliant way would delay the launch by far too long".
Also, it should give you a pause to think what is it about their intelligence features that is not DMA-compliant and why would the rest of the world want that stuff in their pocket.
Hmm, do you need to put up a cookie warning if you are using only LocalStorage?
Is it okay to have more dependabot commits in your repo than your own?
