José María (Chema) Mateos"Shortly after the last Presidential election, we were flooded by a bottomless array of media missives trying to decipher the thinking of the American electorate. Most of these furrowed-brow thinkpieces tried to insist the U.S. public simply had very deep thoughts on complicated economic, immigration, and fiscal policy.
Very few were willing to candidly admit the truth: the average American has little coherent sense of how absolutely anything works (54% of U.S. adults read at or below a fifth grade level), and subsists on a news and information diet of lazy infotainment, agitprop and corporatist sewage.
Few if any of these post-election think pieces meaningfully acknowledged that the U.S. has a very bad right wing propaganda problem. A problem that's been percolating for decades (most notably with the rise of Fox News), and indisputably responsible for the rise of Donald Trump and modern U.S. authoritarianism."

Jan SchaumannSystem Administration: Week 7: DNS, Part II
In this video, we dissect DNS lookups performed on our EC2 instance, then discuss just how a caching resolver performs the lookup, moving from "magic happens here" to the below visualization.
abadideaI can't stop thinking about the LLM-generated compiler that passes all the unit tests but emits inner loops that benchmark over 150,000x slower than a gcc debug build. I couldn't possibly have intentionally come up with such a funny demonstration of the point of genuine expertise https://harshanu.space/en/tech/ccc-vs-gcc/
Emeritus Prof Christopher MayLooks like Palantir may have fallen into the Streisand trap;
in seeking their right to reply (under Swiss media law) via the courts, they have drawn a lot more attention to two articles (based on Freedom of Information requests) that reveal why the Swiss state refused to do a deal with Palantir for some military software; they were worried data would be obtained by the US Govt.
Now a story, originally limited to the Swiss is gaining traction across Europe; oops.
nixCraft 🐧Amazon service (AWS) was taken down by AI coding bot named Kiro
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/amazon-ai-aws-outages
In one incident in December, engineers at AWS allowed its in-house Kiro “agentic” coding tool to make changes that sparked a 13-hour disruption, according to four sources familiar with the matter. The AI, ill-fatedly, had decided to “delete and recreate the environment,” the sources said.
