@xssfox somewhere, there's a Waymo driving down train tracks, confused
Google gave me a rail signal as a "click all the squares containing a traffic light" and now I'm concerned

I genuinely think blogging from your own site is in a second renaissance, but we are too stuck in social media silos to realize it

@fionafokus "Focusing on AI" or as you can call it "One step away from dying"
Today I was browsing the commit history of a project of a very well known open source software foundation that is now "focusing on AI".
I almost lost my shit when I discovered that "Claude Code" started rephrasing the included copy of the Apache 2.0 license in a random bugfix commit.
yes, they merged it. 
> The essence of Free Software is: “When it breaks, you get to keep both halves.” If something doesn’t work the way you want it to, you can change it so that it does. [...] If you want the software to get updated—to have bugs fixed and security vulnerabilities patched—you want something very different. What you want is an ongoing supply of software, not a copy of a specific software artifact. Confusing these two situations is, I think, at the core of the current angst about sustainability of free and open source software.

There are already several Rust implementations (https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc/discussions/57), this excellent write-up (https://curiouscoding.nl/posts/1brc/), and even an existing stream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-0durxAB6s), but I'm hoping that walking through the process live will still be a good teaching exercise.
@GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors and they're dealing with coordinated attacks in French media right now. They're pulling out of France entirely, moving all their servers, and fighting off a wave of bullshit one-sided reporting that makes them look like they're helping criminals.
They need us to fight back. Support them however you can, whether that's a dollar, sharing their story, pushing back on the garbage news coverage when you see it, or just telling someone you know about what's happening. All of it matters because they're drowning in attacks from governments and media and bad actors who want them gone.
This is the only Android OS that actually makes me feel like privacy isn't just marketing. They fight for us now they need us to fight for them.
The EU is pushing Chat Control and creating an environment where governments feel empowered to threaten developers into compliance, and if we stay quiet we're letting it happen. Show up for them in whatever way you're able to.

I'm late to the party, but the One Billion Row Challenge (https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc) feels like an excellent way to dig into optimizing Rust code and learning somethings about assembly, SIMD, performance profiling, and just CPUs in general in the process, so let's take it on!
Come join me on Saturday at 11am UTC (https://everytimezone.com/s/70bf2c9d) over on https://youtube.com/live/g2EKNXKKGM4?feature=share, and we'll see what we can squeeze out of it 🏎️ This will likely be a long one 😅
