La foto dei federali che scortano Ruby Bridges nella sua nuova scuola di New Orleans, prima riservata ai bianchi, è del 1960. Bridges ha 8 anni in meno di Trump, e ha profili attivi su TikTok e Instagram. Sono vivi anche molti di quelli che la minacciavano giù da quelle scale

@david_chisnall @whitequark @hayley @casandro we've seen similar counterintuitive stuff where on certain devices when we deploy noise suppression models that are more computationally heavy, average time to process 10ms of audio can actually go *down* instead of up because the CPU becomes loaded enough to throttle up. Very mysterious initially if you don't know where to look.

Il problema non sono le minchiate di un suprematista senile con disturbi del comportamento, ma il fatto che nel caso vengano implementare, la "sinistra" e i "democratici" non faranno nulla per rimettere le cose a posto, semmai le peggioreranno, come hanno fatto col porcellum peggiorato dal rosatellum e con la Bossi-Fini peggiorata dai decreti Minniti anti-ong, con tante "antiriforme" che hanno lasciato l'Italia com'era in attesa del prossimo turno di sfascio. E i "dem" USA non sono migliori.

Cosa significa resistere sotto occupazione? E quale ruolo può avere chi, dall’esterno, sceglie di esserci?

Mentre a Gaza continua il genocidio e in Cisgiordania proseguono occupazione, violenza, demolizioni e sfollamenti forzati, vogliamo interrogarci sul significato della resistenza palestinese e sul ruolo della solidarietà internazionale.

Ne parleremo con Turaya Tulsi, operatrice umanitaria e attivista della campagna Faz3a per la protezione dei civili palestinesi, e Francesca Ghio, consigliera comunale di Genova.
Due prospettive per parlare di resistenza nonviolenta, presenza internazionale, colonialismo d’insediamento, intersezionalità delle lotte, neocolonialismo e disarmo, ma anche di come trasformare la solidarietà in azione politica e istituzionale.

Dall’esperienza di Genova alle iniziative locali, fino alla responsabilità di istituzioni nazionali ed europee: quanto può incidere ciò che facciamo qui?
La miriade di iniziative locali che prendono piede nelle città e nei comuni tradiscono la mancanza di una risposta altrettanto forte e autorevole a livello regionale, nazionale ed europeo.
La solidarietà internazionale non può limitarsi a osservare.
Deve diventare presenza, sostegno attivo, pressione politica e responsabilità.

Modera Vittorio Toesca, consigliere comunale di Sanremo, promotore, relatore e primo firmatario della mozione sul riconoscimento della Palestina.

Nel carosello alcune foto dalla campagna di raccolta olive 2025 e di presenza protettiva a cui ha partecipato Turaya.

Improving open source project security and increasing diverse leadership can help a project become more sustainable over time, but when a project has reached the end, it can be responsibly sunsetted, instead of being abandoned. I'm writing a series of posts about the CHAOSS Practitioner Guides, and Part 2: Additional Sustainability Topics From the CHAOSS Practitioner Guides covers security, diverse leadership, and sunsetting. https://fastwonderblog.com/2026/08/25/part-2-additional-sustainability-topics-from-the-chaoss-practitioner-guides/

"hey, claude you must guarantee you don't make the code worse when refactoring"

I find this absolutely mind boggling. If you know how an LLM works, it's obviously nonsense, sure.

But if you buy into the marketing that ascribes intelligence to these machines: what does that even mean? How are you defining 'worse'? And why would you need to explicitly state that? And these are people who, apparently, have experience using formal language to instruct machines built around systems of logic!.

It’s a ‘long read’ by definition…but it is genuinely worth your time getting your head around the mundane but industrial scale of money laundering that the lax Post Office systems enable.

It’s not the indivisible people who run individual Post Offices fault.

It is the perfect storm of banks closing, small genuine businesses struggling to survive layered with the complete lack of public trust about any sums reported by the Horizon system.

But the police and government can’t ignore it?

Went for lunch at my new employer. They have this at the main entrance to the building. So kitsch. Looks like it's missing a trident 🔱

@davidgerard and one thing I almost never see called out is the surrender of prioritization

it’s very funny that you got access to Claude Fable and filled the queue with urgent tickets for all the “urgent crucial real vulnerabilities” it says it found

great! did you do even basic due diligence on any of them to check:
- is the bug the result of previous LLM-generated code? (almost always)
- can the bug actually be encountered in practice? did you do any impact analysis at all?
- did the bug result from a flawed design? can you fix it for the whole codebase by rethinking things a little bit instead of fixing a hundred different vulnerabilities the fucking LLM tagged individually?

no? you didn’t do any of this because Claude Fable told you the sky would fall unless you took action right now? amazing.

@davidgerard like no, you aren’t carefully reading thousands and thousands of lines of LLM output to make sure they’re not slop.

yes, the parts of the codebase you’re offloading to the LLM are important, and allowing any part of your project to be slop makes the whole thing slop because of how LLMs work in practice.

no, I don’t particularly want “your buddy claude” (all of these guys use this exact non-joke for some reason) to be part of the discourse. I don’t think lazily consulting the slopbot adds anything positive. I keep watching negative outcomes happen unacknowledged when you consult it. the codebase is now a disjoint mass of a hundred broken abstractions and non-abstractions because that’s what “your buddy claude” recommends.

big push to try to push "responsible" AI coding as "not *slop*"

just hit another one

> "oh no they're very anti-slop here's their CONTRIBUTING.md"
> list of ways to use the slop bot in their project

come off it with this bullshit, it fools nobody and makes you look like a smarmy collaborator

@davidgerard this is where a lot of people in tech are right now and the cognitive dissonance is incredible

“oh I’d never do slop because I” type lgtm in all the PRs, type the code myself on the chatbot’s instructions, only use it for tests, only use it for docs, blah blah blah

and meanwhile the project is broken in ridiculous ways and they haven’t noticed because the slopbot says it’s fine and they’ve cognitively offloaded all validation to the LLM. I haven’t met anyone who uses the slopbot and doesn’t cognitively offload to it; all of them do the glass-eyed “here’s what claude said” more and more til that’s the only thing making decisions and driving conversations in the project.

@paulcox I don’t believe so, no?

IPFS Shipyard has "$250B+ and Hundreds of Teams Depend On Us" on their homepage, but it looks like their Protocol Labs is ending their funding (like next month), and they are shutting down?

https://ipshipyard.com/blog/2026-the-end-of-ipfs-at-shipyard/

I've been involved in helping kick the tires on ipfs-cluster in the past few years, and to me it has looked like Shipyard are the only maintainers of the software. It'll be interesting to watch what happens to IPFS repositories after Sept 30th.

@robertgarrigos de res!
