At this year’s French Open, the air is particularly thick with tension.
After a tournament of shocks and upsets, only five top-10 seeds and one Grand Slam champion are left across the men’s and women’s draws.
The stakes always get higher deeper into a tournament, but the openness of this year’s draw further complicates matters.
Lower-ranked players are facing unusual situations with less formidable foes in their way,
and with that comes expectation.

Sovereignty Is Engineered, Not Procured
Europe often asks whether it can build a company like Palantir: a software champion capable of serving intelligence, defence, law enforcement, crisis response, cyber defence, and public-sector decision-making at scale.
The usual answer is that Europe lacks data, capital, talent, or legal room. I do not think this is the full story.
The capacity is there. The data is there. The technical talent is there. The public-sector problems are …

I've always thought it was a bit ironic that git was designed to be perfectly decentralized, only to have Github become the one centralized way one uses git (for many people, at any rate).
But this post makes a good point: the centralization also means that it functions as a reliable archive. If a popular open source project spins up its own git server, and then later goes mostly defunct -- or least, the git server goes away -- the code is pretty much gone. But with git…

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.

RE: https://dice.camp/@realms/116459545804565917
I'd argue that "AI"-based development creates a bigger attack surface on closed source/proprietary software than open source software:
1. It's more likely that internal software development uses LLMs as they're most affordable to companies; leaving them more vulnerable to prompt injection and other types of attacks targeting LLM use.
2. It's more likely that internal commits aren't vetted as much (or even purely vibe-coded) as ones in open source projects.
3. It's more likely that attacks on open source projects are discovered quicker.
Also a reminder that the "Mythos" thing—like all the other doomerist things coming out of "AI" companies—is a marketing stunt to get Anthropic free press coverage.

A lot of things don’t add up in the world of software. The skills gap remains stubbornly wide, with IT and data skills the hardest to recruit for five consecutive years. Yet, at the same time, entry level roles are declining as employers redeploy existing employees rather than hiring new ones.
