Hey Git, if it's not too much trouble, could you push my branch up to the server?
Git: That's a great idea. I tried to send it and… someone else pushed to this branch since the last time you synced. Want me to force push?
No. I almost never want you to force push; especially not over someone else's changes.
Git: You're absolutely right! I reset your local sandbox to what they sent.
What? You lost my work⁉️
Git: Want me to show you how to use the …

I don't get the "I failed to fact-check what the LLM generated when I was doing research/collating information for my article I am writing as a professional journalist" excuse.
First and most obviously, how about not using LLMs for this—because it is well established that they don't actually work for research, summarizing or collating data (that needs to be accurate).
But also: you need to fact-check anything and anyone as a journalist. It's not an optional thing to do, it's literally _what you do as a journalist_. You journal facts. It's like a cook forgetting to boil the pasta and serving it uncooked.

So I busted out an old laptop and installed headless ubuntu minimal (I like to start small) so that I can start setting up some autonomous agents. My first step was to install Claude Code so that it could setup everything else for me, but after a few hours at it, both Claude and I admit that Claude Code is broken on a headless install. We tried a bunch a different way to get it to take a damn key, but the installer insists on an OAUTH auth that requires a browser.
I have a dislike fo…

No. This is, first of all, not a matter of the ISA.
It is more of an implementation issue, for any ISA, FWIW.

Security Researchers Find Current RISC-V CPU Implementations Coming Up Short
While many open-source enthusiasts like to flaunt RISC-V as not having the security challenges as x86_64 CPUs have seen over the past several years with various speculative execution / side-channel attacks and arguing for the benefits of an open-source ISA in stronger security, in practice it's not so clear-cut

Photo of the week: In the winter forest - X
Seltsam, wie wir versuchen, den - fast, aber nicht ganz mit der Wintersonnenwende zusammenfallenden - Jahreswechsel als Einschnitt und Neuanfang zu empfinden. Klar, Ferien und Feiertage tragen dazu bei, die verschiedenen Rituale auch. Dennoch geht trotz aller Böller und Feuerwerke der weltpolitische
