The way you can phrase it: you may jsut get people that are happy to do a good job for the pay they get. In many areas your typical white/cis/hetero/neurotypical male is not present, because you cannot get the maximum reward for their well-trained ego. I think diversity/pay is pretty munch confounded for plausible reasons.

That's saying the white/cis/hetero male is absent because ego demands more reward. Exactly. Diversity fills that gap at lower cost. That's my point, or a counter?

The scheme's motive is the overall effect. Lower wages. It doesn't care about white hetero, or black trans who happen to participate in paralympics.


I am actually only switching to Chromium based browsers because some corps and most notably some captcha/paywalls don't work as expected. But the. I always think I made the right choice (actually I am rather using Zen because I love their UX on top of FF)

Many university HPC clusters are run multiuser. At least login nodes.

Any university or national HPC system as I'd understand the term is multi-user.

There are also things like the extensive high energy physics WLCG compute federation, which is somewhat different, but can potentially be compromised quickly at large scale. For the original copy-fail we didn't want to drain our WLCG Alma9 cluster, or just kill all the jobs like the university HPC system. We got eBPF mitigation in place within a couple of hours, relieved the exploit signature wasn't in logs from the night before. That would have been done earlier if Proofpoint hadn't bounced the forwarded oss-security article as "contains malware"; sigh.


Do you still remember hotbot's color scheme? I guess back in the days we all were brave and less boring.

My feeling is that for agentic tasks this is not only language design but also LSPs, error messages and static analysis capabilities that dominate the benchmarks. It would IMHO be interesting to look into better subsets of python and style/rewrite techniques as well as alternative linter and their effects on performance.

A strict compiler is basically a free feedback loop for the LLM.

Also the human. (I like being told about my bugs when I write them, instead of at some generally much more unpleasant moment in the future.)

But then why does JS score 50% better? (Almost identical to TypeScript.)

Actually, JS can get a surprising amount of "intellisense" as well. Not sure if that was used here though.


I think it would be rather worth reporting these days if hackers totally handcrafted all code without any use of any AI.

The question is rather: can political parties develop a vision beyond libertarian views or full state control on the other side.

I feel that we need a better political consensus on a free society that puts the monopoly of force in the hand of democratic legitimate forces. I currently feel that all digital violence lies in the hands of a few corporations. And at the same time there is politician that like this because they can through this proxy can indirectly execute control without any political legitimacy. Sorry, I do not believe in markets as guarantees for freedom. I have read too much dystopian sci-fi for that.


Open source would not help without the reproducible builds of Signal (I wonder who check them on each release?). And only builds like Molly include no binary blobs of Google [1], which could IMHO at least be used to extract some metadata. Leaving the OS still as a risk, even for Molly or Matrix clients. Even with transparency around linked devices, I would believe that few people would notice silently linked devices. Simplest thing is I guess social engineering which happened in a coordinated attack on Signal messagers of German politicians recently (I guess there should be an official signal app version not supporting linked devices for such people) [2].

Politicians should probably not use Signal but something that is controlled by the government and for example doesn’t allow „accidentally“ deleting incriminating messages.

If politicians would be effectively controlled by the government and not by some independent party those mysterious, oops, accidentally deleted it problems would increase.

So they can spy on them directly?


I just tried using archive.is on my non-degoogled phone using IronFox instead of Chrome and could not pass the recaptcha. Actually it presented me the mobile attestation on second try, but I was able to switch to images again. But I am also unable to pass that one with the tracking protections built into the browser. Hopefully some 'serious' website starts using this so I can bomb their customer support.
