Principal Site Reliability Engineer. I think that crypto/web3 is bs scam. All cryptofolks get an instablock.

Opinions my own.

Pull requests disappeared on GitHub for many (all?) users.

This is just the latest outage on a platform where reliability has been beyond unacceptable the last few months.

A fair question: at what point would customers move? How much pain is too much? And where do they move?

This is the largest supply disruption in history. In an attempt to ease the loss the IEA announced a record 400 million barrel release, of which around 270 million is crude. Is it enough? No. And perhaps that’s why there are more headlines now about ending the war, whether or not that materializes is a different story. #OOTT

@goinggodotnet Why do people outside of engineering have access to the company git repos?

Ghostty is getting an updated AI policy. AI assisted PRs are now only allowed for accepted issues. Drive-by AI PRs will be closed without question. Bad AI drivers will be banned from all future contributions. If you're going to use AI, you better be good. https://t.co/AJRX79S8XD

@GaryMarcus Watch also shows 4:40 if she is looking at it.

@GaryMarcus It still didn’t get it. The woman in the picture is writing with her right hand, not left.

"When you outsource the thinking, you outsource the learning." Feel this in my soul whenever anyone talks about AI.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

This blog is SO good at pointing out what should have been obvious about AI for coding (Copilot and others)

These tools are good for re-creating whatever they’ve been trained on.

They are not what will create the next, better generation of frameworks, libraries, technologies.

@nickgerli1 Ugh surveymonkey is frustrating. I answered all the questions, hit submit, “author changed survey” and all my answers are cleared out. Don’t have time to fill it out twice.

[RyanChapman @RyanChapman]

@wiz_io are you sure the tj-actions/changed-files vuln is mitigated? They still have reviewdog/action-setup@v1 (pinned to a tag, not a sha):

Why is Yubikey the most secure? Once the MFA "secret" is written to it, the Yubikey will not ever show you the secret again. You can only see the next 6 digit MFA code when you touch.

[RyanChapman @RyanChapman]

PSA: do not store MFA in 1Password.

SAFEST, NOT VERY USER FRIENDLY: Yubikey with their Yubico Authenticator app. This requires the user touching the Yubikey to see the next MFA code. You need to load MFAs on two Yubikeys for redundancy, which makes this not user friendly.

[RyanChapman @RyanChapman]

LESS SAFE, MORE USER FRIENDLY: Authenticator app on your phone

[RyanChapman @RyanChapman]

@Ah_muzings @lukerosiak @1Password Just use the newish Apple Passwords. No need to pay for 1P anymore.

Software engineering isn’t being replaced, the job is turning into something where you delete things generated by AI.

i cant believe ChatGPT lost its job to AI

LLMs are gonna cost somewhere between $6 million and $500 billion.

In 1969, newly elected president Richard Nixon resolved to defund PBS and use the money to wage war in Vietnam.

Fred Rogers was summoned to testify before Congress, and what he said that day changed the course of history.

sick of touchscreens, sick of GUIs. i want every electronic device in my life to have an enormous bank of single-purpose switches and controls like a nuclear reactor

@danielgothits Isn't it interesting that the asset class where the ultra rich have most of their wealth is NOT taxed yearly? They can keep the asset forever and pay no taxes until they sell it.

[Simon Willison @simonw]

I really like Drew's framework dividing current AI use-cases into Gods (human replacement), Interns (assistants you delegate closely-reviewed tasks to) and Cogs (smaller tools that can more reliably serve a single purpose, like Whisper) - more notes here https://t.co/SRzmC2NjIV
