The thing about this is: “AI” can neither review anything nor can it make mistakes.

I’ve been working on some Python code for a few days now… just an hour or so in the evening as time allows. I could probably use some AI Slop Generator to quickly kick out what I need, but that’s not gonna happen.
No, Nope, No Way.
I actually *want* to write the code, and understand it, and know that every choice was mine, even if I make mistakes along the way.
If I publish it I want it to be from me, not from me and the AI Slop Generator and every codebase it ever stole …

AI can’t make mistakes*, but you can make the mistake of believing AI can make mistakes.
*they don’t have a mind, cannot think, don’t conceptualize and have no understanding of anything, therefore they can’t be mistaken

TIL that WB0RLJ Jim posts videos of his POTA activations keyed by time, so you can find your call in his video description with a link straight to the time in the video. Very cool!
I also read his QRZ page and discovered that I did something that he dislikes. I've heard other ops say that if someone gives a partial call, you should reply with your sign twice to cut down on back-and-forth, and now I kn…

Some podcasts are self-recommending on the ‘yep, I’m going to be breaking this one down’ level.

Degrowth and socialist comrades, what should we be doing?
Ted Trainer* This is an attempt to clarify this discussion of degrowth strategy, a topic on which I think there is considerable confusion and mistaken approaches. Debate has recently been fuelled by Jason Hickel’s argument for a socialist position on both the goal and the means do it for degrowth. Liegey, Nelson and Leahy replied against Jason, defending the wide and diverse range of strategies now…

Oh, dear thing, did you see a post by a Palestinian facing genocide on your favourite fucking sci-fi hashtag by mistake? You, poor, delicate flower. Do you think you’ll survive? Should we call 911? @… ht…

So, remember how all the cool kids dumped #Sphinx and went for the shiny #MkDocs thing? And then used the shiny Material for MkDocs theme?
Well, apparently MkDocs 1.x is dead, and MkDocs 2.0 is coming with no support for plugins, incompatible theming system, closed contribution model and unclear licensing.
So which hype train are the cool kids jumping to these days?
