Make sure people know: DONALD TRUMP says airports will stay fucked until Democrats agree to vote for the Women's Disenfranchisement ("save") Act.

Tell everybody who complains about airports, everyone who complaints about gas prices, anyone who complains about anything: Donald Trump HIMSELF will not let it get fixed UNTIL 21 MILLION WOMEN are disenfranchised.

And that they need to strap in and hold steady, because we cannot let that happen.

🎉 Big Tech alternatives are finally getting mainstream media attention! 🎉

Yesterday, The Guardian published a piece on how people and organizations can leave Big Tech behind and choose ethical, privacy-focused alternatives, a topic we’ve been passionate about at Tuta for a long time. 🙌🔐

Thank-you to Steve Rose for mentioning Tuta. It’s great to see privacy-first solutions getting recognition. 🙏

I have a new technique for reliably vibecoding apps:

First, you write your requirements in an unambiguous specification language. This is the prompt, but to disambiguate it from less precise prompts, we will call it the source of truth encoding, or source code for short. You then feed it to an agent that will create an of outputs by applying some heuristic-driven transforms that are likely (but not guaranteed) to improve performance. This agent compiles a load of information about how to transform the code into a single pipeline, so we’ll call it a ‘compiler’. This then feeds to the next agent that finds missing parts of the program and tries to fill them in with existing implementations. This is more efficient than simply generating new code and more reliable since the existing implementations are better tested. This agent has a knowledge base of existing code organised in grouping that I’ll refer to as ‘libraries’. It creates links in that web of knowledge between the outputs of the first agent and these existing ‘libraries’ and so we’ll call it a ‘linker’.

I think it might catch on. VCs: I think we can build this thing for only a couple of hundred million dollars! And the compute requirements are far lower than for existing agentic workflows, so we can sell it as a service and become profitable far sooner than other AI startups. Sign up now for our A round! We have a working proof of concept that can output the Linux kernel, LibreOffice, and many other large codebases from existing prompts!

Time for another #embedded Rust episode 🦀 I show how to use I2C with bare metal on the #RaspberryPiPico 2. Check it out!

"We gave more than our names; we gave our emotions, our connections. All in the name of using a 'free social network', that is neither social nor free."

Digital Poppets - How the Modern Fae Hold Power Over You

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Arthur C. Clarke - Profiles of the Future: An Inquiry Unto the Limits of the Possible

We are magicians. We work in computer science. It's an arcane discipline full of seemly magical formulas to folks who don't do maths. Even the most junior desktop support technician will seem like they do magic when they fix someone's PC.

[...]

But what happens when we stop understanding our fields? What happens when we wander into the dark forest and collect mana without considering what we give in return for that mana? What happens when we go into strange walled gardens rather than the open web we knew?

We didn't realise that rather than a market garden, we have wandered into a different bounded realm. We were asked to pay a price. We gave our real names to Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and Google. We made the mistake that our ancestors knew not to do. You never give your real name to the Fae, for Knowing of a true name gives them power over you.

We gave more than our names; we gave our emotions, our connections. All in the name of using a "free social network", that is neither social nor free.

Thank you to Steve Bannon for giving away the game:

Step 1: Show the people that ICE can kill anybody.

Step 2: Have ICE show up at polling stations in areas where people vote against Trump, so those neighborhoods do not go vote.
