Just made a little correction to the JavaScript Database (JSDB) Table Events section:
Previously, the example that listens for the JSTable.PERSIST event was erroneously stating that the table was deleted when the `type` property in the event handlers parameter object was JSTable.DELETE. It now correctly states that the value at `keypath` was deleted.
I also documented the JSTable.PERSIST types so they wouldn’t be confused with the JSTable event types (persist and delete; the latt…

The Race to the Bottom | Art Berman
Welcome to the twilight of the Industrial Age. Growth is ending. That was the blunt thesis of a recent essay, and the signals are already here—deindustrialization, grid stress, financial instability, and rising geopolitical conflict. The Honest Sorcerer’s argument is simple: growth depends on ever-faster drawdown of energy and materials as…

In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it. The report shows how this phenomenon affects both consumers and society at large, but that it is possible to turn the tide. Together with more than 70 consumer groups and other actors in Europe and the US, we are sending letter to policymakers in the EU/EEA, UK and the US.

april fool's product "AI pet for your AI companion" has a video that shows various options for the pet: corgi, kitten, snake, toaster, Punch-Kun (the macaque with a plush orangutan), and "Lynx the Blue Fox" shown here

The claim "you won't be replaced by AI, but by a person using AI" is nonsense. The Block layoff victims were some of the most productive, #llm pilled people in the company, but it didn't save them, because that's not what layoffs are about.
The layoff script goes, as always:
- overhire
- lay everyone off
- pretend it's because of

"AI layoffs" like Block's are a race to the bottom that have nothing to do with productivity.
You won't be replaced by AI, nor a person using AI, because backfills aren't real.

My #silentsunday photo from a recent hike where I indeed saw the first little blossoms! I was so surprised to see them!
On the one side I was a bit sad as this means that winter is coming to an end and I did have far less winter hikes than wished. On the other side: spring is all around! Colors, more hiking routes, mountainbiking, ... all this is waiting 🙂

🥳 New JavaScript Database (JSDB) release
• Fix: Now properly handling array indices on `JSTable.PERSIST` events in the `keypath` property that’s passed to the event handler.
Just noticed that the pretty keypaths of the JavaScript deltas written to the append-only log were ignoring array indices while playing with a new database introspection call I’m adding to the Kitten Interactive Shell (REPL) and fixed it.
I’ll be updating Kitten shortly to use this version of JSDB and I…

Last photo from a week ago when temperatures were high and we enjoyed some time out.
When I look at the photo I notice that ... "times" ago I didn't like the brown grass after winter as I was missing the vivid green.
That day however I didn't even think about it. Maybe becuase of the sun ... or the nice contrast of these heather like flowers? Anyways - it's been a great day out there.

The most common strategy for "AI-proofing" your career is to get good at using AI tools.
This is futile, because no one is using AI tools to make things that are *good.* The goal is to check the box on the project plan at a predictable pace. As long as the box is checked, quality is not a factor.
To AI-proof your job, get out of the project game.

You can't "AI-proof your career" with a project mindset
Competing with LLMs on output velocity is a fool's errand because you will always lose. You can only beat them by curing yourself of your computer brain.
