30 April 1945 | As Soviet forces neared his command bunker in Berlin Adolf Hitler shot himself.

Hitler's Thousand Year Reich lasted twelve years, four months & eight days.

We need to commemorate all the victims & remember where ideologies of hatred may lead humanity to.

Saying that 30% of all your code is generated “by software” (not “by AI”, but “by software”) is what you’d say if you knew perfectly well you can’t write and maintain a production OS with LLMs, but you have a financial motivation to inflate the number to ride a hype wave and eyeballed how much of your committed code is machine-generated by templates https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/29/microsoft-ceo-says-up-to-30-of-the-companys-code-was-written-by-ai/
Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that 20%-30% of code inside the company's repositories is "written by software," meaning AI.

Microsoft: We write 30% of code using Gen AI.

The rest of the world: That explains the current state of Windows 11, MS-Office and all other products.

#CouchPeloton A reminder that La Vuelta Femenina starts on Sunday so start thinking about your #7NationsVueltaFemenina squad

A great interview with Cory Doctorow @pluralistic and worth the 25 minutes of your time.

It would be nice to think that the IP laws could be dumped after Saturday's election but the major parties have already been bought so it will be up to the crossbench.

Feature interview: how Meta and X will eat themselves

This is how huge tech platforms like Google and Meta roll; first, they're good to their users; then they abuse them to make things better for business customers, then they exploit their business customers to squeeze out every last bit of value for themselves. Then, they die. That's how author, activist and journalist Cory Doctorow sees tech's slow-motion collapse. He's in New Zealand to meet readers and talk about his latest book about Silicon Valley's big bet on AI called Picks and Shovels.

Wow, this is a rip-snorting interview with @pluralistic - you, sir, have got great metaphors. Well done. This needs to be on every single NZ MP's listing list: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/afternoons/audio/2018985178/feature-interview-how-meta-and-x-will-eat-themselves

Best news so far this election campaign: Angus Taylor tipped to be the next Lib leader, if LNP loses on Saturday. Hahahaha.... 🤣
Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

The totally decentralised #BlueSky was down. Again. I can tell you about that because here in the #fediverse we actually ARE decentralised. It’s that simple :)

Oh Canada!
