Objectively, the software development industry has failed to roll out LLMs as a product. Having to "choose the right model” is a failure (regardless of where you are on the AI hype train).
Imagine walking into a restaurant and having to source your own food, cook, set the table, and wait on yourself.

‘It defies belief’: Names of PSNI officers published on court website in new breach
Some PSNI officers who had their names released in a catastrophic data breach in 2023 have now had their details published on the NI Courts website.

The article correctly notes:
❝The constitutional question of who authorised this war and the legal question of whether this strike constitutes a war crime were displaced by a technical question that is easier to ask and impossible to answer in the terms it set. The Claude debate absorbed the energy.❞
…but fails to recognize that this was part of the •point• of having Claude in the chain. This isn’t just the press missing the ball (though it is that). This is an evil system working as designed.

I know systemd hate is in vogue right now (and I'm concerned about LLM integration), but having declarative configs is _really_ useful. For example, wg-quick sets up routing rules and a firewall which is invisible in the WireGuard config file. The equivalent .netdev and .network files incorporate the routing rules _in the config file_, meaning it's clear at a glance what will happen.

For those wondering about the bizarre Apache helicopter flyover of a No Kings rally and "spontaneous" visit to Kid Rock's mansion, whether it was intentionally orchestrated (seems likely to me) or not, the effect was to send a public signal to the military that acts of allegiance to Trump and his supporters will get rewarded and shielded with impunity, even if they're flagrant violations of military codes and procedures.
It's another step in the fascist playbook of getting the military in line to support tyrannical acts, so it's very much not a "no harm no foul" situation.
As for why I think it's more likely quite deliberate: those helicopters don't fly without thousands of dollars of fuel, air traffic control (or you're creating some *serious* danger going without), and other logistical support. There's no way that level of risk makes personal sense to some random army helicopter pilots, just for the benefit of pulling a public stunt? These aren't random rookies in basic training, it takes serious skill and many hours of training to successfully pilot a helicopter at all. Why risk your entire military career on a stunt, and how did you convince an entire ground crew and air traffic control tower to get in on it? Having some kind of orders/encouragement/guarantee of impunity from above makes the most sense. I'd be 0% surprised if Hegseth directly gave the orders/go-ahead and the show of an "investigation into insubordination" that gets publicly cancelled by Hegseth personally is an entirely intentional result if not the main objective.
Also buzzing the No Kings rally was 100% intentional.
