Yay, my first repo has reached 1000 stars on GitHub! If it wasn't for the dire state of the tech labor market, I'd probably consider switching to a programming job now.

Two headlines in my feed today:

"AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations"
"Hegseth warns Anthropic to let the military use the company’s AI tech as it sees fit"

Well, what could go wrong?

@b0rk https://cht.sh/ is an even better tool imo, it contains the info from tl;dr and other sources, and it also does not require any local installation, since you can just use it via curl.

I have a landline connection provided by my ISP, but don't have a phone plugged in. By chance, I noticed that my router nonetheless eagerly logs every attempt to call my landline number.

Aside from a few spam calls, I was mostly called by survey institutes. A total of 12(!) calls by infas in the span of 3 weeks, and a total of 14(!) by forsa in 5 weeks. I know follow-up calls are important, but that feels excessive.

(Screenshot shows an excerpt, all of them are public numbers by companies.)

This paper in Management Science has been cited more than 6,000 times. Wall Street executives, top government officials, and even a former U.S. Vice President have all referenced it. It’s fatally flawed, and the scholarly community refuses to do anything about it. | Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science

I don't care about most of macOS Tahoe design changes people nitpick about, but this is undoubtedly a real design fail.
