Job loss? That one really seems weird. The numbers are not adding up to the stories we hear yet. But the numbers are not dire yet. Of course, our actual tracking of those numbers is increasingly suspect because of the US fascist project.
The big tech companies are absolutely pulling shenanigans, and using "AI" as an excuse for layoffs in a great number of cases, and in many cases, openly admitting they don't have any good ideas, so they'll lay people off instead of allocate them better. We are absolutely seeing the shifts in what are viable careers in tech though. And that was underway before AI: the UX bootcamps, for example, destabilized those job function, devaluing the workers, and the resulting shifts absolutely wrecked those job titles and the pay for them, leaving a bunch of people in the lurch.
But behind that too was our broken education system in the US: it was a shortcut around the massive debt that going to college can produce for people. But it didn't last, because it was vocational training being used purposefully as a wedge to change the labor market. Similar, sometimes intentional effects have happened in other aspects.
A huge amount of the "AI" problem is actually labor problems coming home to roost. We can blame Reagan for a lot of this.

Just so that anyone unfamiliar with the fundamentals of #Sysadminnery doesn’t misunderstand:

I've been talking before why money won't solve the burnout problem. But let's for a minute assume that you really wanted to help people maintaining #FreeSoftware by paying them. The problem is that:
1. You have to pay them a living wage.
While all monetary help is appreciated by developers, they need a living wage. Not "that should prevent you from starving to death" but the kind of money that can support a honest (but not lavish) lifestyle: pay the bills, feed your family, cover other living costs such as repairs, clothes, appliances, and let you save enough for future emergencies.
It's simple as that. If you can't do that, they're going to need a dayjob. If they're lucky, it won't collide with their #FLOSS work. If they're not, it will kill them. Or they'll fall somewhere in the middle, slowly burning out until they can neither maintain their projects, nor work.
2. You need to guarantee that the payouts will continue.
People need security. They're not going to stay unemployed, let alone quit their job or turn down a job offer, unless they either have good guaranties or substantial savings (or they're in a really bad shape and wouldn't be able to handle the job anyway). The job market is hell, and people just know that when the payments stop, they may not be able to find a job soon, let alone a good job. Even "passively" looking for a job can burn you out.
So yeah, one-off payments and pinky swears won't do. And it isn't even a matter of whether we can trust you; it's a matter if you'll actually be able to continue paying us. And honestly, I don't really know how to solve that. Perhaps by paying up front, but for how long? Finding a job may take more than a year, finding a good job may be once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
3. It can't end up being a job.
Perhaps most difficult of all, these payments can't really come with explicit obligations. I mean, that's the whole point: you want to support FLOSS, not turn it into a corporate project. You want the maintainer to remain free and enjoy the work. That is unlikely to happen if their livelihood is now dependent on your satisfaction. And even if it isn't, I for example would still feel indebted to whoever's paying me to do FLOSS, even if they really didn't expect anything in return, and would fall into a spiral of guilt-inflicted burnout if I failed to maintain the software satisfactorily.

Did you know that you can use #PyTest 's plugin manager instance to check whether a particular plugin was loaded? You might have known that.
And did you know that pytest plugins have no "canonical" name, and every plugin's name is literally whatever was passed while it was registered? So if a plugin was autoloaded, it's its entry point name. If it was loaded via `-p` or `PYTEST_PLUGINS`, it's whatever the argument was (i.e. entry point name in the first case, object reference in the second one). And if it was loaded via an explicit call to plugin loader, then it was whatever you passed to the plugin loader.

I have another fun project idea that I'm not going to realize.
What I'd love to have is a heat map of "how soon can I get there". One where I select my train station, and get a map of all train stations I can reach within N hours, each marked with the earliest arrival time and colored by how late I'll get there. Including all the reasonable transfers.
Say, the first train from here goes to Konin, so I get its arrival times marked on all stations towards Konin. Then, I can transfer to a few trains in Poznań, so I get their arrival times on their respective stations. And then all the transfers there, and so on.
So what I'd get is a pretty colorful map, with arrival time getting later with distance, except for major stations where IC trains get earlier than suburban trains, and then backwards from major stations where I can get via IC and then change into suburban going back. It would be such a cool experiment!
And honestly, I could start playing with it even with a partially automated tool: one that lets me select a given train and updated the map if it arrived somewhere earlier than I had before.

This!! I am yelling this too!!
And it’s yet another one of the things where now when I yell it, I have to specify that it’s something I’ve been telling students and companies alike since long before the release of GPT, because otherwise people assume it’s just a reaction to gen AI:
“Generating code is by •far• the easiest part of programming.”
“No matter the source, don’t let code into your project unless you understand what it does.”
“Programming languages exist for humans to communicate with other humans. Code does not just make machines go; it encodes and reifies human mental models. Good code communicates •intent•; very bad code has no coherent intent at all.”
and so on

Are you an MSc student looking for a thesis topic? Interested in Greenland/Antarctica atmosphere and ice sheet processes? Background in meteorology, geography, earth science or physics (or other quantitative discipline?
Then do I have the project for you...
I have just updated my list of open research ideas here:

Funny, I keep hearing Colossus: The Forbin Project being cited as a view of dystopian AI, even though at the end of the movie and in the other 2 books of the trilogy, the AI is shown to have mankind’s best interests as its prime directive despite the humans not liking how it took control. Rewatch? https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/colossus-the-forbin-project

In the previous post, I described the Seasons project: a #timelapse of hundreds of pictures taken from nearly the same viewpoint over the years. The hardest challenge wasn’t taking the pictures or assembling them, but aligning them.
I’m a human being, not a tripod. The position changes ever so slightly, and so does the exact angle.
Alignment is the process of warping each photo so it…

Started a new project, the #FreeSewingCrux climbing pants by @…. Also my first project made of #toile (#muslin / #calico ), just to see what it's like to work with it. I have some nice pink denim with a bit of stretch to make the "real" one with, once this one's done.
I attached the pockets with my Bernina 930's triple stitch, which gives this really nice top stitching. I do hope I was supposed to sew the seam allowance with the pocket... The instructions were a bit unclear there 🫣

One aspect of open source development that some organisations have difficulty with, is that it's such a good signal of an organisation's resource priorities. There's no point putting out a statement saying you're still committed to something, when a key project repo hasn't had a commit in months.

Starting to inventory components for the rest of the LATENTRED line card build.
Very confused as to how I ended up with a sealed tray containing *five* VSC8512 PHYs. I need six to populate the three line cards.
And I don't think I have any overstock from the initial prototyping run, at least I didn't see any in my PHY/transceivers bin or the dedicated project bin.

You know what's the problem with Linux Mint? It's so damn good.
Apparently yesterday's update borked sth in my Slackware Current. SDDM and then everything stops, usb mouse and kb dead, radio or bluetooth. Look at it later.
Made an LMDE iso, booted with that and start salvaging some files, prior to surgery. Has always worked.
Because I have this Gentoo project to finish 😝

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s controversial luxury resort project in Albania
has hit a new setback after prosecutors alleged that land tied to the development may have been acquired through forged ownership documents.
Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors are investigating Miami-based businessman Artur Shehu,
who sold a stretch of coastline slated for Kushner’s planned multi-billion-dollar resort earlier this year.
Prosecutors allege Shehu and his associates launde…

Ivanka and Jared’s Luxury Resort Hit by Fresh Scandal
The Miami-based businessman who sold some of the land for the project is suspected of forging property records.

EU project proposals have become a bureaucratic endurance test.
The application process is painfully long, the evaluations often opaque, and rejection letters can feel almost dismissive. Even when a proposal succeeds, far too much of the budget disappears into compliance, coordination, reporting, controls, and audits.
When roughly 60% of resources go to administration rather than impact, something is fundamentally broken.
Europe cannot afford to turn innovation into paperwo…

I'm wondering how plausible it would be for the new ngscopeclient CI to have a private web form (probably just restricted by simple https basic auth with creds shared among project maintainers) to request a build of a specific commit in order to enable testing of PRs.
The idea is that this will still allow pre-testing of PR content before we merge them, but won't allow any possibility for an outside attacker to trigger a build on our infrastructure without a maintainer at least…

At a time of mounting political violence and shrinking civil rights,
the promise of civility and bridge-building is appealing.
Donors have flocked to finance these initiatives,
while universities looking for a fix to relentless controversy have eagerly embraced them.
“At a surface level, who could be against civility?”

whose forthcoming book focuses on the so-called “culture wars” in academia.

I've followed the story of Anthropic's new Mythose model. Some say the Project Glasswing stuff is, at its root, just a marketing stunt; others say this is a really, really big deal. The truth, no doubt, is somewhere in the middle, and I don't have any particular insight there.
But it does sound like this new model shows particular improvement at chaining together multiple bugs and vulnerabilities to create exploits.
We are seeing lots of very deep research…

Lutfi Dervishi, 58, an independent political analyst, said he had grown up before the collapse of Communism and looked up to the United States as a beacon for the rule of law and media freedom.
“I never in my wildest dreams thought that Americans would be looking to Albania for inspiration,” he said.
The Albanian protesters have inspired mainly American progressives.
Senator Bernie Sanders hailed them on X as the vanguard of resistance against the “global oligarchy,”

Luxury Kushner Project Collides With Albanian Discontent
Protests in Albania against plans for a luxury tourist site have become a cause célèbre for opponents of President Trump and his family. But the politics are local.

Got the Windows CI runner building and passing tests on the dashboard! Tonight I'll try and finish the Arch runner then move on to Fedora.
At that point I think I'll have every supported platform building in my infrastructure other than MacOS ARM64 which is going to be a whole other can of worms.

Iran’s parliament speaker and chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, signalled Iran has yet to fully respond to the US attempt to reopen the waterway.
“We know full well that the continuation of the status quo is intolerable for America;
while we have not even begun yet,”

His statement did not mention negotiations with the US that are now in the form of passing messages via Pakistan.

Thinking of submitting a tech talk on ngscopeclient to Vulkanised 2027.
This will be focusing on the architecture and some GPU acceleration tricks, more so than the feature set and end user side of things (i.e. the intended audience is GPU shader developers, some of which I hope to get interested in joining the project).
I'm throwing around potential titles, so far the best I have is "Real Time GB/s Oscilloscope Waveform Processing" but I'm sure I can improve on…
