Does, like, infosec and compliance stuff you know

Sure. Let’s do another ai driven proof of concept the sales people can run wild with and overpromise on without actually doing any market fit testing, causing the board to Hail Mary the end of year results on yet another unsecured, non-viable llm based fever dream that will cost us more than it will make.

Can we just not do it on prod this time?

I want to get of Mr bones wild ride.

Unsure whether the “ai will write most code” thing currently going on at work is a sign of the investment fund drinking the koolaid or whether it’s an indictment of most of our devs.

Kinda split on that one tbh

@evacide the coherent Taoist hermit approach might be to live in a grotto on a mountain, doomscrolling meditatively whilst waiting passively for the sea to come swallow us and our devices eventually, inevitably. No chucking required. Bad reception though, perhaps, in that cave, in the meantime.

🚨 Ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record for the date (JAXA data)...

• about 640,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,050,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,460,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 1,950,000 km² below the 1980s mean

@0xabad1dea @sdubinsky used to live above a known major drug dealer.

He got nabbed when his tap sprung a leak whilst he was abroad or in the clink, I forget which.

The water company arrived to fix it, forced open the door only to, gosh, discover a stash of guns and a veritable wall of now very wet coke bricks under his sink.

The apartment cleaners told me the water guy looked suspiciously burly and "cop like" and we all suspected some not entirely legal shenanigans took place, but getting rid of that guy outweighed any procedural concerns.

Watch the Dutch government offer "political but not military" support again. Then we find out we actually did send troops years later and the fucker responsible gets elected nato chief again and we all pretend like that never happened.

@taylorlorenz trial by peers, so maybe they should ask billionaires to judge him? :P
@skinnylatte "he wasn't a fascist but a corporatist national-syndicalist that liked to dress in black"?

@th theres some data for this!
Each year the water company (Waternet) which also takes care of our canals fishes between 12000 and 15000 bikes from the canal.
