Macron calling a general election right now is the most fuckwitted political move since Brexit. When this reckless gamble inevitably fails, he will retreat to his opulent, privileged life, leaving ordinary French and European citizens to deal with the consequences of the far right gaining power. https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-european-election-results-2024-emmanuel-macron-snap-election-marine-le-pen-national-rally-jordan-bardella-national-assembly/

Step to write software by human:

1. Decide what you want your software to do (medium)
2. Decide what you REALLY want your software to do in all the corner cases (very HARD)
3. Write the code (Easy to Medium)
4. Test the code (Medium)
5. Debug the code (hard to very HARD).

Now, thanks to ChatGPT, you could improve this workflow by:

• making step 3, the only easy step, somewhat easier (and thus hiring less competent engineers)

• making step 5 nearly Impossible.

The "Recall can't record DRMed video content" thing is because DRMed video content is entirely invisible to the OS. The OS passes the encrypted content to your GPU and tells it where to draw it, and the GPU decrypts it and displays it there. It's not a policy decision on the Recall side, it's just how computers work.

apparently this git cheat sheet PDF doesn't render properly in Chrome? https://wizardzines.com/git-cheat-sheet.pdf (here is what the 4th column looks like in Chrome vs what it is actually supposed to look like)

so I guess that's my side quest for today instead of whatever else I wanted to be doing. PDFs are weird.

(edit: it was a relatively short side quest, I think it's fixed now)

love this post “Instead of "auth", we should say "permissions" and "login"" by @nicole.

it's a great explanation of how using less jargon-y language can be more clear. Also I've been really enjoying her blog generally.

The conversation people aren’t ready to have is that—not only are video games art—their artistic value has nothing to do with specs, platform, production value, price, or sales.

Je pensais ne jamais voir ça dans mon pays, celui qui se dit "des droits de l'homme". Et pourtant, c'est en train d'arriver.
Alors, je le répète : en tant que parents d'une enfant trans, on "savait". Depuis très, très tôt.
Alors, je relaie ceci :

It's fashionable to criticize #LLMs, but can you think of another human invention that allows us to spend the energy budget of Tanzania to lift shitposts out of context and present them as if they were authoritative knowledge?

The whole point of the "paperless office" wasn't to cut down on paper, exactly. It was misnamed.

It's actually a printerless office. If we can be paperless, we can finally be printerless.
