Indeed. I have been receiving clearly AI generated job applications out of the blue and they tend to point to their contributions to github projects so some of these must be getting through.
Someone somewhere once decided that it was a great idea to add how many github stars a project that you have contributed to is a useful metric during the hiring process and now those projects get swamped with junk.
Really? The past two weeks I've been writing code with AI and feel a massive productivity difference, I ended up with 22k loc, which is probably around as many I'd have manually written for the featureset at hand, except it would have taken me months.

> Nit pick/question: The LLM is what you get via raw API call, correct?
You always need a harness of some kind to interact with an LLM. Normal web APIs (especially for hosted commercial systems) wrapped around LLMs are non-minimal harnesses, that have built in tools, interpretation of tool calls, application of what is exposed in local toolchains as “prompt templates” to transform the context structure in the API call into a prompt (in some cases even supporting managing some of the conversation state that is used to construct the prompt on the backend.)
> If you are using an LLM via a harness like claude.ai, chatgpt.com, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cursor, Excel Claude plug-in, etc... then you are not using an LLM, you are using something more, correct?
You are essentially always using something more than an LLM (unless “you” are the person writing the whole software stack, and the only thing you are consuming is the model weights, or arguably a truly minimal harness that just takes setting and a prompt that is not transformed in any way before tokenization, and returns the result after no transformations or filtering other than mapping back from tokens to text.)
But, yes, if you are using an elaborate frontend of the type you enumerate (whether web or CLI or something else), you are probably using substantially more stuff on top of the LLM than if you are using the providers web API.
Players don't want to be continually victimized. That game design drives away all but a tiny minority of players.
> Does anyone offer a live (paid) LLM chatbot / video generation / etc that is completely uncensored?
Probably not, because if it is completely uncensored, it would probably violate the law (in different ways) in every possible jurisdiction.. (Also, one common method of censorship is exclusion of particular types of content from the training set, so to be completely free of that kind of censorship, there would have to be no content intentionally excluded from the training set.)
In general, paid services are censored not only to attempt to meet the laws in all jurisdictions of concern to the provider, but also to try to be safe with regard to the (shiifting) demands of payment processors, and to try to maintain the PR image of the provider.
Asm is simple enough that "mental execution" is far easier, if more tedious, than in HLLs, especially those with lots of hidden side-effects. The concept of a function doesn't really exist (and this is even more true when working with RISCs that don't have implicit stack management instructions), and although there are instructions that make it more convenient to do HLL-style call and return, it's just as easy to write a "function" that returns to its caller's caller (or further), switches to a different task or thread, etc. If you're going to learn Asm, then IMHO you should try to exploit this freedom in control flow and leverage the rest of the machine's ability, since merely being a human compiler is not particularly enlightening nor useful.
As a non logged in user I get tweets in popularity order, which means this weird but tame sexual image comes up third https://x.com/elder_plinius/status/1904961097569890363?s=20
The tweet cited by the article says that the charge investigated was “insult”. There may have been a multistep misunderstanding here, because they seem to have found information (elsewhere, not in the cited tweet), and in loose discussion the “insult” section is within what is broadly described as “defamation laws”, though it is not the specific offense of “intentional defamation” (Section 187) nor is it roughly within the scope of “defamation” as that term is usually used in English (as both “intentional defamation” and the separate offense of “malicious gossip” [Section 186] would be), but its the closest broad category of law with a common name in English.

“Protected sexual speech” is such a bizarre phrase. Nobody who wrote the first amendment envisioned that. How can you say the First Amendment prohibits a democratically elected legislature from banning something that was never envisioned as being protected by the First Amendment by the people who wrote it?

Yes, of course there are bad actors, but this is false equivalence to equate science and the scientific method with basement randos.
Most importantly, most people don't understand scientific consensus vs. individual research papers or individual scientists. A major feature of the scientific method is that when an interesting result is published, it can be independently verified by lots of other researchers, and if they come to the same conclusion, that is excellent evidence that the result accurately describes the real world.
Scientists are people, and just like people everywhere they have biases and personal motivations. But again, the scientific method is much bigger than any individual or even group of scientists. If anything, being skeptical of unexpected results is a huge pillar of the scientific method. But skepticism alone is not enough - the next step is to look for validating research, not to say "hah, science is bullshit, let's trust this YouTube rando instead."

I think all the points about IP reputation impact are well taken, but as someone who had to deal with the RIRs at an ISP before and who now works at a firm that buys blocks, I would 10x rather operate in today's environment than in the old RIR environment.

I never had much faith in reputation to begin with, and the residential block issue is muddied by the fact that large-scale residential proxies already make that an unreliable abuse check.
> A senior manager on reviewing a proposal asks them to synergize with existing efforts: Your work is redundant you're wasting your time.
> A senior director talks about better alignment of their various depts: We need to cut fat and merge, start identifying your bad players
In my experience neither one of those are automatically a sign of impending layoffs. Rather, it's an executive doing their job (getting the organization moving in one direction) in the laziest way possible: by telling their directs to work out what that direction is amongst themselves and come back with a concrete proposal for review that they all agree on. The exec can then rubber-stamp it without seriously diving into the details, knowing that everyone relevant has had a hand in crafting the plan. And if it turns out those details are wrong, there's a ready fall guy to take the blame and save the exec's job, because they weren't the one who came up with it.
Interestingly, this is also the most efficient way for the organization to work. The executive is usually the least informed person in the organization; you most definitely do not want them coming up with a plan. Instead, you want the plan to come from the people who will be most affected, and who actually do know the details.
If the managers in question cannot agree or come up with a bad plan, then it's usually time for layoffs. A lot of this comes down to the manager having an intuitive sense of what the exec really wants, though, as well as good relationships and trust with their peers to align on a plan. The managers who usually navigate this most poorly (and get their whole team laid off in the process) are those who came from being a stellar IC and are still too thick in the details to compromise, the Clueless on the Gervais hierarchy.

This is an incredibly ignorant comment. Iran isn’t Palestine and it’s a category error to project your feelings about Palestine into Iran. Iran’s attacks on Israel aren’t like Palestinians attacking a country that is occupying their territory. Iran is a sophisticated country that uses military action to further its own geopolitical interests. Iran has been attacking Israel—launching missiles and funding terrorists like Hezbollah—for decades.
Moreover, out of all the countries that attack Israel, Iran has the least reason to do so. Iran is a thousand miles away from Israel and has no security concerns from Israel’s existence. In fact, the two countries had peaceful relations for decades before the Islamic theocracy took over in 1979. Iran was the second Muslim majority country to recognize Israel’s sovereignty and the two countries had peaceful relations for decades.
Iran is getting attacked by Israel because it has chosen for decades to launch offensive attacks against Israel for no reason.

I used emojis for a while. Every text had to have an emoji. I spent a lot of time scrolling through the emoji palette looking for the perfect emoji.

That's roughly on par with saying nobody needs the internet or a library at all.
Back the 1920s having a personal library was fairly common for people with more than two dimes, they had this thing called an 'Ex Libris' which roughly translates as 'from the books of'. This was a little piece of paper, often very nicely designed that you glued to the first page of a book and then you could borrow it freely and sooner or later it would find its way back to you.
This was the rough equivalent of wikipedia, only a lot slower and less convenient. Then encyclopedias (which existed for a long time) became larger and larger, I had one from the 18th century that got lost in a move but it was a work of art, so much effort had gone into making that. The encyclopedias of the newer ages were however far larger and covered more subjects. Ever year a new batch of pages or the occasional reprint was the norm. And then personal libraries went the way of the dodo. Every time one of my family members dies there is always the same question: what will happen to all the books. These people - and me too - spent a fortune on their books, untold tens of thousands over a lifetime. They were well read, not 'browsing' information but actually reading - and occasionally writing.
That library in the article is exceptional in one way: that it does not look like it was shared. But I can totally sympathize: some people are focused on the number of digits on their bank account, others derive their sense of wealth and accomplishment from their bookshelves. I don't own any books I have not read, but I do understand people buying books that they intend to read at some point but never get around to.
As these things go, I'd be happy have a million more book hoarders, even if they don't read them all, so they can be passed on to the next generation of booklovers, assuming they can still be found.
That matches an observation made in that report from the recent Thoughtworks retreat: https://www.thoughtworks.com/content/dam/thoughtworks/docume...
> The retreat challenged the narrative that AI eliminates the need for junior developers. Juniors are more profitable than they have ever been. AI tools get them past the awkward initial net-negative phase faster. They serve as a call option on future productivity. And they are better at AI tools than senior engineers, having never developed the habits and assumptions that slow adoption.
> The real concern is mid-level engineers who came up during the decade-long hiring boom and may not have developed the fundamentals needed to thrive in the new environment. This population represents the bulk of the industry by volume, and retraining them is genuinely difficult. The retreat discussed whether apprenticeship models, rotation programs and lifelong learning structures could address this gap, but acknowledged that no organization has solved it yet.
My phenomenal observations are that it's been getting warmer during my lifetime, but as soon as I mention this in an online conversation I get slapped down with 'the climate is always changing' and 'n=1'.
Most climate change denial arguments eventually boil down to social assertions about the change believers having perverse incentives, like being greedy for grants to go on sailing vacations to Antartica or feather their academic nests.

Why would you expect anything else? It's also easier for larger people to pick up heavier weights, larger bullets to make larger holes, etc. etc. Of course larger animals are going to have larger muscles in their digestive tracts in approximate proportion to everything else about them being larger.
I noted that too.
We need some mechanism in litigation (and imho in public life in general) that requires claims to be secured in some way. That is, if you go into court and make an argument like this, you have to chain it to consequences, such as being stripped of specific legal consequences or losing 10% of your shares or whatever.
It's illegal to commit perjury, but there are no real consequences for making bous legal arguments, and lawyers are structurally incentivized to make tacit misrepresentations on behalf of their clients - that is, to make inflated or handwavey claims in the hope that they're not challenged during the fact-finding stage, or even stipulated, due to an assumption of basic good faith.

The "Our World in Data" citation cuts off right as China's emissions started to decline. More recent data [1] indicates that China's emissions have been flat or falling since the beginning of 2024, and falling fast in the last quarter of 2025 (1%, which is huge on a quarterly basis).
China's decarbonization & renewable efforts have been paying off in a big way. EVs now have a 51% market share among new vehicles [2], exceeding every single major city in the U.S [3] (though the SF Bay Area comes close). Likewise, renewables are 84.4% of its new power plants in 2025 [4].

Corporate jargon is a relatively recent development in business history.[1] It wasn't seen much until the 1950s and 1960s, when "organization development" and management consulting became an industry. Peter Drucker seems to have popularized it in the 1980s.
Then came PowerPoint.
Before that it was more of a political and religious style of communication. In those areas, speeches and texts designed to be popular but not commit to much dominate. Religious texts are notorious for their ambiguity.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, but it's exactly this.
Pre-emojis, there were so many times I misinterpreted a text, or had a text misinterpreted. Something that is obviously a joke or sarcasm or teasing with non-verbal communication, can come across as an insult without it. When somebody adds a wink emoji or similar at the end, it changes everything.
Emoji are fantastic at communicating tone and attitude alongside the text itself. They're not a 1-1 correspondence with non-verbal communication, or a perfect replacement, but they vastly improve the chances that something playful isn't misunderstood in a negative way.
It's incredible that this needed to be explained.

When you convert BM25 or other classical IR scores to a probability with this toolbox:
https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/calibration.html
you find a lot of things that are unsatisfying such as you never got a relevance score better than p=0.7 or so and that's very very rare. There are many specific problems in IR for which that kind of probability would be really helpful such as combining results that came from different sources or returning a stream of new documents from a collection but it was an early decision in TREC to not reward ranking functions that were good probability estimators or even that are good at the top-1 or top-3 positions but rather reward them for still being enriched in relevant results when you go deep (like 1000 results deep) into the results.

There are no rewards for long term thinking, so it's hard to get anyone to do it.

The biggest danger of agents its that the agent is just as willing to take action in areas where the human supervisor is unqualified to supervise it as in those where it isn't, which is exacerbated by the fact that relying on agents to do work [0] reduces learning of new skills.
[0] "to do work" here is in large part to distinguish use that focuses on the careful, disciplined use of agents as a tool to aid learning which involves a different pattern of use. I am not sure how well anyone actually sticks to it, but at least in principal it could have the opposite effect on learning of trust-the-agent-and-go vibe engineering.
Same here in Europe. I've had people volunteer to tell me they had canceled their trips and that 'as far as they're concerned that includes the rest of the future for them'.
