Monetization of posting is the most toxic thing that’s ever happened to social media. X and Threads both suffer greatly for it, and lack of it here is one of the few things that keeps this place bearable.

At my peak I was "earning" several hundred dollars a month from X's creator revenue sharing program. Nothing changed on my end, but Twitter was now paying me. Almost immediately the entire platform was incentivized to post for engagement. Engagement farming got worse. I don't miss that part.

Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

If this is true (and there is no reason to believe it is isn't) this is not government by law, but government by blackmail and extortion.

And an DOJ is openly asking a state government to let them blow up their elections in exchange of not brutalizing their cities. Insane.
Tweet from Sen. Murphy. Text: Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

El presidente de los Estados Unidos ni siquiera se molesta en lamentar que alguien ha muerto, procede a listar teorías racistas, culpar a todo el mundo.

Trump says he’s adding a 10% tariff to all the countries that sent troops to defend Greenland against an American invasion, increasing to 25% in June if he’s not allowed to buy Greenland.

“This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet.”
Trump: We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back - World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with "The Dome," including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I refuse to call it vibe coding, but I prompted my way to a command line tool, written in C, that converts millimeters to inches and vice versa. A few prompts later, I got something that works, and a man page with usage examples. 🤯

I usually can't find the time to create man pages or remember how.

This is the part about LLMs I don't like. Seems some of the people behind them don't mind stealing from others.

Even I got notice of a class action lawsuit because a book I authored was used to train a model without my permission.
gergely.pragmaticengineer.com Gergely Orosz @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com · Jan 12
Pretty wild that LLMs seem to have trained on my 2019 article of "The product-minded engineer" and I now find blog posts published in 2025 that are an exact rehash of my post.

Because if you ask an LLM "write a blog about a product-minded engineer" they spit out mine!!

I don't mind the companies at the forefront profiting from their efforts, but hopefully the best software development tools aren't locked behind a paywall, especially since our data was used to train these things.

I've been sitting with the discomfort here a bunch, and to me this is it, right? What is being suggested is that I engage in an act of self-flagellation (resolving thousands of lines of merge conflicts by hand) because the richest man in the world uses some of the same underlying tech to peddle CSAM

Screenshot of Claude Code terminal interface showing a migration progress checklist The terminal displays a dark-themed interface with two tabs labeled "1: fg" and "2: ~" at the top. The main content shows a detailed task list for what appears to be a Rust codebase migration project. The upper portion (lines 47-54) shows completed tasks highlighted in green, including items like "PrivateIpStackCreate enum," "InstanceNetworkInterfaceCreate with ip_config," and creating dual_stack_nics files for floating_ip.rs and probe.rs. Below that, lines 43-54 show another set of completed tasks (marked with [x]) in a green-highlighted block, detailing work on dual_stack_nics/instance.rs including IpAssignment<T> enum, type aliases, and various struct implementations. The middle section shows "Phase 4: Add Types to silo_project_ip_version_and_pool_type" with a file being written containing Mozilla Public License headers and module documentation about adding ip_version and pool_type fields to SiloIpPool responses. At the bottom, a "Cerebrating..." status bar shows the AI is thinking (1m 30s elapsed, 5.7k tokens). Below this is a checklist of remaining tasks including completing dual_stack_nics/instance.rs, creating version module files, updating latest.rs, resolving conflicts, and running cargo checks. The footer shows "accept edits on (shift+tab to cycle)" indicating pending code changes awaiting user approval.
