""The problem with treating politics as a doughnut, where the centre is consistantly defined as the hole where policy doesn't belong is that it leaves the parties of the Hole to just react to wherever the dough is.""

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…

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.

Sharing content to Mastodon is getting easier with the addition of a universal “Share to Mastodon” button for the decentralized social media platform.
Announced on Monday, the widget allows users to share content on any Mastodon server by connecting your Mastodon account and redirecting you to the server that account is on.
The blog post announcing the feature also explains that the tool “works entirely in your browser: there is no tracking data, and it does not store any infor…

A new Share button
We'd like to help you to Share to Mastodon, with a new tool.

I'm currently debugging why a pair of cumana 5.25" floppy drives doesn't step on one of my Model B's; it's got a switchable 40/80 board on it which is where my current suspicion lies; a Cumana CU1585 (?) board - which I reckon is something like below. The step line seems to be stuck at about 1.4v.
Alas neither chip is socketed so it's a bit of a pain (The whole build is a pain, the board is soldered to the end of the floppy ribbon, and squeezed into a gap behin…

I was unreasonably giddy when I stumbled across the real-time discussion of implementation of a feature I use regularly in Shotcut — the proposal, the math, the initial implementation, and then how it evolved into the feature I use.
There's something so cool about seeing people nerd out about stuff and seeing development happen in the open.

Audio Alignment Implementation
This is not a suggestion of some feature. I plan to implement a functionality that is already on the Road Map. But I would like to discuss, document and, if possible, get support from volunteers. I am not really familiar with MLT and Shotcut terminologies. Feel free to correct things (this post is a wiki). The “MLT only” part has been accomplished. All we need now is to integrate it in Shotcut. I (André) plan to wait until the next release because people are busy with beta tests, right n…

I'm trying to type the word `part.revision` in our wiki because this is a database field I'm trying to document.
It keeps #autocorrect ing this to `part. Revision` because it thinks I'm actually starting a new sentence and am too stupid to add the space and capitalize the first word.

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.
