Can Rewilding Save This Megacity From Cyclones? videos.trom.tf/w/jj9GTdHmSN1Ai…
In Chennai, a megacity of over 11 million people, floods and cyclones are becoming more frequent.
We came here to help plant urban forests, restore lakes, and rewild parts of the city — using nature to reduce flooding and protect communities.

“The researchers suspect that Glassworm—the name they assigned to the attack group—is using LLMs to generate these convincingly legitimate-appearing packages. “At the scale we’re now seeing, manual crafting of 151+ bespoke code changes across different codebases simply isn’t feasible,” they explained. Fellow security firm Koi, which has also been tracking the same group, said it, too, suspects the group is using AI.”
"The code points represent every letter of the US alphabet when fed to computers, but their output is completely invisible to humans. People reviewing code or using static analysis tools see only whitespace or blank lines. To a #JavaScript interpreter, the code points translate into executable code."Sigh.

There's at least one piece of software I used for years that was 0.8.9.xxxx. Only the last 4 digits changed. Maybe a torrent client but 🤔
I think the team couldn't face a 0.9.0001 even as it implied a 1.0.0.
@disorderlyf
@rysiek huh, i’d think of it a little differently…
2 - shame version, we f*cked up the architecture so badly that we had to redo it, incompatibly :(
7 - woot! Pride! We released new features, adding to what we offered before!
123 - mutter, double shame, yeah, that didn’t work did it :(

Forget semantic versioning, use PRIDE VERSIONING 🏳️🌈pridever.org
:
Major version should be the shame release because you couldn't think of any solution that didn't break back compatibility so you forced a migration on all of your users.
However, this is probably the "current state" slide and semver is the "ideal state" slide.

You *need* the slop anti-features.
Have you been browsing with Chrome lately? Holy shit! It’s like driving an ambulance through the brightest city in the world after eating hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Does Google really think it can convince its users that it removed uBlock for their own good? As far as I’m concerned, Evil Corp can go eat its own shit.
@Linux_in_a_Bit I use LibreWolf, which is also behind pfBlockerNG. I haven't seen an ad in years, except when I've had to use Chromium at work.
Still, thanks for the info—it's always good to know of another great option.
Waterfox / Librewolf with uBlock Origin continues to work well.
Firefox Beta Android supports uBlock Origin.
Google Chrome plus uBlock Origin Lite also works, if Chrome is needed.

I'm not claiming that they're right, that you are actually buying "intelligence" from them by the meter, I think that's misleading.
But also, the fact that that's the *framing* goes to show to you that they absolutely, completely want it to be, and want to sell intellectual slavery, as far as they can get it.

@elexia @lykso
I agree it's a simplification, but I also have issues with those who try to take away the historical context of anarchism, such as to describe vague and inconsistent relationships with the state and authority overall
ancaps and "lifestyle anarchists" come to mind
in my opinion all anarchists are communists, otherwise their use of the term anarchism is highly suspect - I certainly would like to know why they think their position is significantly different to an ancom
@amici @elexia I definitely tend to think of myself as some form of small-c "communist" under which many positions may fall, including anarchist ones.
I recognize that there are people who appropriate the term "anarchist" without understanding the self-contradictory nature of their position, most notably ancaps.
But again, I need to read more.
Sheesh.

or: an imprecise definition of termsMargaret Killjoy (Birds Before the Storm)
The closest they've ever come to a consistent definition of intelligence is something that can do economically valuable work.
Under that definition, what he's proposing is that you would rent the ability to do work, at all, from him. And that is in keeping with the ai/vc set's stated goals and past actions.
Yeah, I think I'm in pretty strong agreement with this.
That what's being 'sold' is 'work' not 'intelligence'. It's not _thinking_ about a problem it's _iterating_ until it's RNG kicks out a good-enough solution. An endless parade of, "How 'bout this one, boss? 😃"
Intelligence isn't manifested in 'work'.
The choice of the word 'intelligence' is a deliberate mislabeling of what they would _like_ to be selling.
@jenniferplusplus yes! This is a thing I keep coming back to in how I feel about what's going on. The effort here is to build the ultimate "rent a shovel" service where the entire economy is dependent on an oligopoly of cloud providers to functionally do work.
I can live with a lot of things I don't like, but that's basically anathema to me.

@moira nah, they’re just high on Pied Piper VC money. I would be shocked if AI ever achieves utility status. It’s not a conduit like the internet. It’s not essential for survival in any way.
After the dust settles and everyone gives up on their stupid chatbots, AI will just exist as another tool for niche endeavors like software development, bioinformatics, medical research, and a few others that don’t require much creativity.
now might be a good time to support your local library.
while you've still got one.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •What I don’t get is how this snippet passed code review regardless.
I mean, it’s clearly dodgy and the last line basically meaningless without the code being evaluated.
The real story here isn’t the invisible Unicode characters, it’s the lack of proper code review on code submissions.
