Doing some npm bumps for work and have discovered a new CVE pathology. Multiple repos got a CVE, roughly "this action can cause RangeError with malicious input. Instead, you should throw a RangeError or SyntaxError". Maintainers apparently have not identified they're all from one account - waydeshi

What I like about not using LLM-based tools is writing code is so tedious you are looking for solutions to write less code or no code at all and you usually find them. Which improves your project dramatically in a longer run.

a key pitch of the desk job compared to manual labour is it doesn't break your brain anywhere near as much as manual labour breaks your body, normally. if you're very lucky it's intellectually rewarding. I would quite like to retire still being able to think

Another thing to remember on this bisexual day is that The Grungler is canonically bi. I do enjoy how it's become a term for "token cis guy who hangs out with a bunch of trans weirdos" but the original post was also about straight women being weird about bi men.
women will go on a 1st date with a guy and things will be going well until the guy casually mentions he's bi and she'll go home and start posting stuff like like 'we need to normalize being straight' and 'whatever happened to beauty' meanwhile the guy went home to play video games with a bunch of weird discord transsexuals and he named his character 'the grungler' and he keeps saying stuff like 'check it out guys, i'm the grungler'

LLMs aren't made of neurology except in the most handwavey sense. They're made of narrative. That's why I started calling them text elementals: they're not human, they're most-likely-text generators we bent into living stories in a prose format centering the characters User and Assistant

The world is not divided into countries.
The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other
perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.
And our governments are very much the same...

You may not like it, but there’s actually no universal consensus vis-à-vis blowing up little kids, and in fact suggesting that blowing up little kids is evil is, itself, a form of terrible violence, and furthermore naïve to say, if not outright childish. And you know what we do to children

Another thing is that these tools are not free. By pivoting the software field to focus on AI-first workflows we are, intentionally or not, leaving those who do not have the means to pay for the hardware or cloud AI models behind. "AI Assisted" is one thing, pivoting entirely is neglectful.

Bluesky needs to set up a policy that LLM bots need to be voluntarily labeled, and people can choose to see them or not. And any unlabeled bots that get discovered get banned, along with whoever's running them, if traceable.
