Seriously, if you are shooting fireworks tonight: FUCK YOU!
My dog is sitting in the corner under a chair and I hate you.

I've been pondering the AI botnet issue for Git forges. Seems to me they seem to airways hit */*/commit/ or */*/blame/ and other such endpoints. It seems reasonable to assume (at least to me) that those types of endpoints are only going to be hit by legitimate users if they are actively working on the code. It would be really beneficial if there were a setting in #forgejo and other forges…

It seems to me that MCP is a modern, cross-platform corollary to the Mac ecosystem’s AppleScript dictionaries. It's a great standard for discovering API endpoints and calling them in a standard way. (And as a bonus, it doesn't involve keeping track of four-byte codes.)
Because it's associated with the AI buzz, lots of developers are integrating it. But it's not limited to and doesn't have to be used with AI; there's a great opportunity to make it easy for humans…

Donald Trump issued an Executive Order on April 9, 2025, directing federal agencies to investigate #Miles #Taylor, a former Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland security, for his public criticisms of the president.
This appears to be the first time in U.S. history that a president has explicitly invoked his in…

Revolutions-Podcast zur rund 250 Jahre alten amerikanischen Revolution gehört. Mit Befürchtungen beim Hören, dass dieses No-Kings-Experiment demnächst zu Ende geht. Und mit wachsendem Verständnis für die Traditionslinien, die wohl auch in der heutigen USA noch prägende Wirkungen entfalten. (Ach ja: das eine oder andere mir aus Science Fiction bekannte Setting habe ich auch wiedererkannt ... Gutsherren in der "Wildnis" etc.).

Gratulation an Hanna Cairo.
Die 17-jährige Schülerin hat die Vermutung von Mizohata und Takeuchi aus der harmonischen Analysis beantwortet. Sie fand ein Gegenbeispiel.

I'm Sorry Dave, I'm Afraid I Can't Return That: On YouTube Search API Use in Research
YouTube is among the most widely-used platforms worldwide, and has seen a lot of recent academic attention. Despite its popularity and the number of studies conducted on it, much less is understood about the way in which YouTube's Data API, and especially the Search endpoint, operates. In this paper, we analyze the API's behavior by running identical queries across a period of 12 weeks. Our findings suggest that the search endpoint returns highly inconsistent results between queries in ways tha…
