Ah, the majestic "vibe code"—an enigma wrapped in a riddle and buried in a landfill of #spaghetti #syntax. 🤖 Apparently, reviewing it is like trying to tango in a minefield, so just #vibe with the #inefficiency and feel superior! 😂

Ah yes, *another* tech solution nobody asked for: "Ovld – Now You Too Can Experience the Joy of Overcomplexifying #Python Function Calls!" 🙄 Because what Python *really* needed was more feature-bloat under the guise of 'efficiency' 🚀.

Talk of opening seven thousand closed banks. That will put over a half-million bank vice-presidents back on the payroll.

"after more than 3 years of negotiations sparked by shock of #Covid19.. Countries still hv to thrash out details of agreement's Pathogen Access & Benefit-Sharing (PABS) mechanism.

Government Tech: 1 9 8‘0s Revisited - Doug Burgum on All-In
The first 100 days of the current administration is marked by deliberate incompetence: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/04/donald-trump-100-days-to-break-the-government-doge-musk/

Signs of implosion of the Trump regime on every level...
"The changes will leave Hegseth without a chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, or senior adviser in his front office."
So hopefully only the internal Pentagon resistance will survive...
🎩✨ Behold, the Prospero Challenge 2025, now with a dumpster full of garbage collection! Max Bernstein's brilliant "speed up the snail" saga involves a microscopic tweak of #Python and #NumPy to create a pixelated masterpiece of #inefficiency. 🖥️🐌🤦♂️ Let's all pretend this is groundbreaking while we sip our lukewarm coffee. ☕💤

This is how #DOGE makes it harder for federal government workers
to provide the necessary services that they provided to us in the past':

About DOGE: They’re like a kid in a nuclear power plant running around hitting buttons.
They have no sense of the cascade of consequences they’re causing.”

Ah, the modern art of police-induced confessions—where getting a straight answer is as elusive as understanding an 'Incapsula incident ID' 🤔🚓. Apparently, the biggest risk factor here is expecting useful information from a blocked page. But hey, at least they’re consistent in their inefficiency! 🤷♂️

Additional notes follow in reply to this message.
"Transparency", which the unelected co-president often claims of DOGE, is not a descriptive term, but a fraudulently offered fig leaf intended to subtly dissuade their all-too-trusting followers not to look deeper.
The kind of "inefficiency" they are really seeking to end is not the process inefficiency of these agencies, but the deliberative oversight by Congress that is its protection, and ours, against exactly this kind of smash and grab.
Their hurry is to steal as much as possible as quickly as possible in an irrevocable way, hoping to leave a crippled system that can no longer function to come after them.
Also, they rail against it "entitlement", but they are its poster children.
They are two irony-fisted dictator wannabes.
We must not let them succeed.

Coercion is the least efficient means of obtaining order.

#Romania: Traditional #diets depend much on animal-based products, optimizing #landuse is critical. Replacing #animal with plant protein (soy, #peas, potatoes) allows much land-saving. High-impact products #beef & #dairy still dominate land use when partly replaced. Replacing #pork & #chicken shows big savings. This highlights the #inefficiency of animal-based #protein production and the ecological benefits of transitioning to #plant-based diets... (1/2) https://doi.org/10.3390/nu17010175
Feeling a little deflated at #work. I've been working on a tool to extract data from log files we collect to automatically categorize some known issues. That's been going along pretty well though it's a bit of edge case whack-a-mole. The issue is that I thought the group I'm making this #tool for had direct access to those logs, but apparently they are all just in a folder somewhere that we can only access through a clunky web interface. #Engineering really needs this data.

Bloody hell, this is awful - who would have guessed that US studios live in the past and don't pay in the present?
