trying to figure out how i can dress up as an unleashed chiang for halloween this year without getting cancelled.
not a waffle guy, but i bet the crew of that tanker is having the best waffles of their lives right now
A major blow to the shadow fleet: in the North Sea, our French Navy helicopters helped last night in the boarding by Belgian forces of an oil tanker under international sanctions.
Europeans are determined to cut off the sources of funding for Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine by enforcing sanctions.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as the user, is in fact, GNU/User, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Human. A human is not an operating system unto himself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
would be funny if this was just one big clawdbot misunderstanding

We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax.
These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code
here's what things actually look like
- your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping
- majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life
- they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend
- the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon
- even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real
- your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills
what an awesome perk! are they hiring?

So there was a lot of talk recently about a paper discussing COVID-19 micro-clotting.
I thought I’d break it down in simple language.
The paper looked at why tiny blood vessels get blocked in severe COVID-19. They discovered, it is not the usual clots we hear about. 🧵👇🏻

all this talk about developers, white collar jobs… you guys make money sitting in between hackers and runway. runway is soon no longer required.
you will be cut out FIRST, not last. more money will be made and you will see less and less of it. it only ends one way.
