If I don't keep my car roadworthy and crash into yours, it hasn't gone "rogue", it's my negligence and I'm responsible. If my dog attacks you, I am liable. There are no rogue AIs, just negligent AI companies. Prosecute them.

So there's a frustrating thing with your native language: you speak it, but you don't *know* it. With my other languages I'll often know the rule, or pattern, or origin, or principle behind a language construct. Because I had to learn it to learn the language. But with my native language it's […]

Open Source hot take: A software project is allowed to be *done*. Not everything needs to add features or rewrite things. You can just be happy with functionality and focus on just maintainance. "Maintenance mode" is not always bad but can just show a mature product.

I think a lot of students—and unfortunately a lot of adults—think that what you learn in a degree is the _content_ of the degree, but really what you are studying is the _process_. Knowing what's in Canterbury Tales won't come up in your day to day life. As a rule no one is going to ask you to […]

I was today years old when I realized that "自鯖" ("jisaba" - "self-mackerel") is slang for "自宅サーバー", "home server". I can conveniently blame my age for not understanding what the young'uns are talking about these days. Now excuse me while I adjust the onion hanging from my belt.

I feel like I still haven't had a better UI experience than back on Amiga Workbench with the MagicMenu popup menu extension, mid-1990s. The only significant development since then has been touchpads. The rest is just higher resolutions and nicer fonts. #UI #WIMP #AmigaOs

A lot of people seem to believe that if you ask an LLM to look through a database and calculate something, or extract data according to some criteria, then it will do exactly what you ask for. It won't. It will calculate an output that looks normal. And you won't discover this unless you do the […]
