Take the masks off. Show your badges. This is America.

The image shows a post by AuntRen (

Ask Nothing ??" The post includes a photo of five individuals in plain clothes and masks standing near an unmarked black vehicle on a city street.

@MFDOOMALLCAPS Sepultura is pre-calibrated for the heat.

Woman at her desk sipping her tea. A tea kettle and a box labeled Earl Grey are on the desk.

Across the room a sad-looking woman leans againsd a balding man in a suit. The man says "Chelsey, Ms. Grey is here to pick up her husband's remains. I left them on your desk."

Just got home from the very peaceful No Kings protest in Oakland, California. Huge turnout! Marched with a bunch of friends and then walked home.

@paulywill @Mutedog @schlupf I was really happy with my first Philly Sour brew (Lime Gose-style). Good luck!

Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #Meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book.

Made the mistake of mentioning my beer and wine brewing experiments to a relative, reminding her of her husband's failed first attempt at beer brewing, which apparently included glass embedded in walls and the ceiling , when most of the bottles simultaneously exploded, sending boozy shrapnel all across the kitchen, which also resulted in a brand new couch ruined by the family dog when he lost all control of his bladder as a result of the explosion of bottles. Apparently her husband has not yet been entirely forgiven for the incident. He was forced to immediately sell all of his equipment the next day. #homebrewing #beer

Some good California water news. Lake Oroville, one of the largest reservoirs, is full.

AI is a horrible tool in software development.

A team leader explains the problems in this post on Reddit:

"AI Slop PR's are burning me and my team out hard"

https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/s/MeNimUXpsy

Screenshot from a Reddit post showing the following text (warning: long text with several paragraphs):

"AI Slop PR's are burning me and my team out hard, anyone else experiencing this?

Background: Current role is a TL (dev/manager hybrid at this place), my team has a large amount of domain ownership so we are constantly pinged for PR reviews.

Lately there has been a huge push for teams to adopt tools like Cursor, the problem is that while yes they can generate code, it is just lately rapidly becoming an endless stream of AI slop.

In the last few weeks:

Multiple 5k+ line PR's that should be sub 100 lines

PR's that have tons of changed files that in some vibe coding iteration were dropped or my new favourite thing endless redirection where multiple things don't actually do anything.

Very scary PR's where the AI did something extremely dangerous i am assuming to make tests work or something. For example one of the PR's actually did such a very subtle change where it aborted early in a middleware basically skipping most of AuthZ, then mocked out a good chunk of the AuthZ in tests which caused tests to pass.

AI hallucinating external services, then mocking out the hallucinated external services. Forcing me to go look up other repos/service maps and validate that yes this api endpoint actually exists.

AI's ignoring project architecture and structure, dumping files everywhere, or ignoring coding styles."

The consequences of gerontocracy.

Photo by Amanda Litman on May 22, 2025. May be an image of 1 person and text that says '7 minutes Maya C. Miller Reporting from Capitol Hill The unexpected death of Representative Gerald E. Connolly of Virginia, who served as the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee and lost a battle with esophageal cancer yesterday, could not have come at a worse time for Democrats. If they had had one more "no" vote, Republicans would have had to sway one more of their holdouts to pass the bill.'.

Great day for fans of stuck boats, as a Cypriot cargo ship has parked itself in somebody's garden in Norway - AND THERE'S LIVE FOOTAGE!

It's actually really relaxing to watch unless, presumably, you're one of the crew...

Edit: boo! They've turned the camera off now it's dark and the page is down. I'll see if there's a YouTube version tomorrow or something.

But, though I am much against too much spending, yet I do think it best to enjoy some degree of pleasure now that we have health, money, and opportunity, rather than to leave pleasures to old age or poverty, when we cannot have them so properly.

This is from over a year ago but is a nice article from Richard Jones on the state of #riscv, extensions, and the standardised profiles (basically groups of extensions) that let OS distribution manufacturers select what to target.

What will LLM owners do when they've destroyed or hollowed out all human sources of knowledge and places of education/research?

What happens when they have no more human blood to suck on to prevent model collapse?

More importantly, what will society do if it builds its structures around stealing knowledge from people until the people give up producing knowledge?

(And this is ignoring LLMs' impact on our climate due to their vast energy use.)
