If you are a US voter, your Senator could perhaps stand to hear — again — that Schumer’s list is insufficient and abolishing ICE now has majority support.
Very soon the electoral stuff will become completely useless again, but for a hot minute here, until this budget fight ends and Schumer caves, those calls do help.

Good Morning Fedi!

My main gripe with “AI coding” is that people present it in highly emotional terms as a fait accompli that will “change everything” instead of it being just another tool (that is one of many) to make software.
Like I saw a SERIOUS post today (not on here) from a tech guy I previously respected that was basically like a 90s infomercial with black and white video of working on a computer (labeled “without AI”) and then over-saturated footage of chilling in the pool or whatever shit (labeled “with AI”).
Not to mention there’s a constant barrage of “enjoy being poor” type bullshit.
This is abusive behavior; it’s emotional manipulation and gaslighting.
It’s cringe, as the kids would say.
I think the underlying LLM technology has use cases that are genuinely useful, for example when making explorative software prototypes, both for backend and frontend stuff.
But it's like a hammer. Useful for nails, useless for anything else.
And you got to ask where the hammer is coming from. Was it made with stolen metal? Forged by exploitative labor? Locked away in a data center so you can only rent the hammer by the hour from some business trying to do a bait and switch?
I'm hoping that the AI landlord industry dies eventually (signs point to this as they won't be able to fulfill the obligations to their investors) and people use locally-run stuff, ethically with open source models (without stolen stuff) and without ridiculous environmental impact in the future.

"Is multiband 6 useless if im living in Turkey? It looks like an amazing feature but on the coverage map it shows that it does not cover Turkey. Does that mean its just useless for me?" : r/gshock

Finally! Dutch parliament votes not to spend billions on a few extra lanes for highway A27 near Utrecht, at the expense of our centuries old Amelisweerd park. It was a useless, expensive, damaging and risky project.
Maintenance of highways and railways is a good proposed use of the money freed up.

Tweede Kamer wil toch geen verbreding A27 bij Utrechts natuurgebied Amelisweerd
De verbreding van de snelweg is omstreden omdat er opnieuw een stuk bos bij Amelisweerd voor gekapt zou moeten worden.
