I love how the CEO level reads like an Epstein email lmao

lol. lmao, even

Sure, but let’s call it what it is: fascism. We need to stop inventing fancy names for things that have existed for a century.

There is a difference, but largely in the industry whose capital backs this new fascism. In the 1920s and ‘30s, the dominant / ascendant form of capital was manufacturing capital, so those were the biggest backers of German fascism (both in Germany and the US). In our time in the US, the ascendant capital is big tech, but most of their assets are in cloud computing. This will inform the face it puts forward, so it does change the modes and styles of its propaganda, but you best believe the same fascist goals are at the heart of it all. So I say: call it fascism.

Hey man, someone’s gotta learn VBA! It’ll probably outlive both of us, if Microsoft keeps it around in any capacity.

We can only hope.

…Who is getting payed shit wages for the privilege of having that job

It can never be held accountable, therefore…

An AI can never be held accountable, therefore an AI must never always make a management decision.

That sounds… normal? and maybe even sensible, especially if LinkedIn does SSR, since that could allow the servers know how to tailor the content to the specific browser requesting a page.

The update rolled out perfectly for my Kubernetes setup (using the Docker image). 👍

Normally, I’d be reading about NPM security breaches and AI security breaches separately, but now I can get them in the same article! Truly amazing how technology has progressed.

Damn, they don’t even think the goonbot will sell? They really must be in a tough spot lmao

Finally, a use-case for AI—malware!

Yeah, that paragraph is where I stopped reading lol

Blog post aside, NixOS is fantastic. Once you get the Nix DSL down, it makes everything so smooth once you know how to configure your system. The learning curve for me came not from the packages, but learning how to set up system/program configurations using configuration.nix, instead of the standard config files. But once you get that down, you can rebuild essentially the exact same system from a single file. I use it for my worker nodes on my server cluster, and it makes setup of new nodes a dream. Definitely recommend.

Guix is such a cool idea, but Nix accomplishes essentially the same thing, and the syntax is much more accessible in a post-JavaScript world. Most programmers nowadays aren’t that familiar with Lisp-like syntax, for better or worse.

Another Hong Minhee banger

As mentioned elsewhere, this is appropriate for anyone doing database administration, because DB writes should always be a trans action.

It’s always Dennis

To completely deflate the joke, it looks like the text output was stripped of its new lines, spaces/tabs, and backticks, because I think the code would be valid if allowed those elements in a Markdown context, e.g.:

```python

def reverse_linked_list(l):
    # …
    return prev

\```

(backslash included to show triple backtick)

Sam Altman has cooked up a plan

Damn, off to a rough start already
