Interesting development in the Math community. I wonder about the final outcome. Also, how many other academic communities will respond in similar ways to recent events?

So, is now a good time for new companies to break into the computer component market -- processor, memory, storage -- and disrupt any mono/douplies?

4. Second-Order Effect (systems thinking)
@wired.com was a breath of fresh air in 2025. Transparent reporting, level-headed opinions, and pretty good political coverage (for a predominantly tech outlet). None of the I-will-write-cos-I-can crap, e.g., Marc Thiessen 💩 at @washingtonpost.com.

Seems like document versioning meme from academia -- paper_final_last_done_1034PM_03042026.docx.
Consequently, working at multiple companies at the same time becomes even more easy, right? 😂
In the coming days,
Q: The dashboard is not working. Can we fix it?
A: I don't know cos' I don't know how it works or where it is deployed.
🤦🤦🤦
Next change will be "pay to opt-out of training."
@atlassian.bsky.social has made small changes to #Bitbucket over the last few months and is doing more in the coming months. I believe even more changes will come. To help users plan, please share the list of changes planned for 2026 and then roll them out incrementally. Thanks in advance!
I am waiting for the day when we can edit skeets on #bluesky 🤞
In my personal experience and observed experience, reviews will always bother authors who really contributed to the paper and/or are committed to their co-authors' success :)
If operating systems require age info, I will provide 10/May/1857 as the DoB when setting up my computers.
I suspect the grass will grow enough to touch you.
Or did you mean "I have peace only when I run out of tokens"? 😁
"Things don’t have to be this way, but they won’t change unless consumers see the situation clearly and refuse to accept it. .... If they design for complacency, they should get some of the blame when their product fails."

You are never going to believe which company is behind the age verification laws:

If patterns observed in training data usually dominate exhibited behaviors of ML models, then limited training data seems like a good explanation. Of course, transfer learning may be another factor. If abstract-ness is the cause, then English may be a factor. Interesting space :)
Are they bad at TLA+ because of limited TLA+ training data? Or are they bad at writing specifications because of limited specification training data? Or is English a bad specification language?
By precedence, any SM account can make statements like "Grammarly suggested XYZ is bad" until #Grammarly contacts each account to opt out of such statements, right? How are companies running without common sense thinking? 🤦🤦🤦
I feel the same way about OSS but from a different viewpoint: has it become exploitive? Is it harder to monetize for creators? Still gathering thoughts.
Why not combine the review system and the code generation system, and generate code without logical errors? 🤔 It seems like a case of a merchant selling both the poison and its antidote.
"Whatever courts eventually decide about AI reimplementation, the question we need to answer first is not a legal one. It is a social one. Do those who take from the commons owe something back?"

Interesting take on how #software has evolved from a passive tool to an always-on, interrupting, and snooping entity 👏 Also, on how enabling techniques like telemetry and experimentation have affected #softwareengineering 👏

Is "yep dawg, I am aching" the right response? 😁
I've been expecting to see this shift for a while and it is interesting to see it actually starting to happen.
Rich and balanced comparison of the performance of SPA and hypermedia based web app with interesting findings 👏 The post includes limitations/caveats along with balanced when-to-use recommendations 👍

For me, programming in #Elixir is fun, easy, and simple due to pipes. The program is a sequence/flow of data transformations. The same is true in #Clojure (threading macros) and #FSharp.
Awesome analysis about the #human aspect of #Linux #kernel bugs 👏👏👏
Many interesting observations that can be considered by all #software #engineering teams.

Seems similar to Model Driven Development (MDD): go from a model (aka spec of a system) to an implementation. Trusted translation/compilation and traceability were big issues with MDD. With proposed regeneration, I think backward compatible evolution will be an additional issue.
