Found out my department is getting outsourced to India. Management asked me to keep it quiet, but I told all my staff instead. Chaos in the office, company has ground to a halt making essentially no money. Corporate overlords can go gargle my sweaty balls.

The Machine-Readable Renter — Samantha Floreani

Participants needed! Are you a renter in Australia? Have you ever used tech to find and apply for a home, log maintenance, or pay rent? I want to speak with you!

I think part of the LLM-Hype is that we all can be managers now. Not knowing anything, not doing anything, but telling others to go and produce a result we can then happily attribute to ourselves.

i will release a new major version of roast. it's just removing walkdir and reworking the renaming logic of recomprizz.

after that, i guess, it's on maintenance mode, and i'll continue working on another project called otap, but need to find new work first 😆 (#fedihire)

New research: RSA-2048 encryption keys can be broken with single qubit and 3 oscillators. The catch? You’ll need about 10 followed by 45 million zeros joules of energy—roughly comparable to several medium-sized stars, or 10^44,999,986 Hiroshima bombs. Good luck! https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.13164

I hereby move that where IT technical discourse has previously used the word ‘stack’ it should henceforth use ‘jenga’ instead.
Likewise:
framework -> tapestry
paradigm -> buzzword
strategy -> panic
