｢ Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
A paper by Yvonne Chen of ShanghaiTech University and colleagues refers to “genAI’s mediocrity trap”. With the help of the tech, people can produce something “good enough”. This helps weaker workers. But the paper finds it can harm the productivity of better ones, who decide to work less hard ｣

One underrated — at least IMO — tmux feature are popups. For example, I have `Ctrl-a g` mapped to open a `gitu` [1] popup with a 90% window size. Once I'm done, the popup will just automatically close and I'm back at my regular terminal window.
[1] gitu is a pretty close approximation of Emacs' Magit as a CLI tool: https://github.com/altsem/gitu

theft is the #business model of capitalists; because capitalists’ main goal is to produce #poverty.
in a 2014 Economic Policy Institute study of #wageTheft, they found it was 3x the size of all forms of robberies ―in USA―, COMBINED.
and their data mostly excludes high earners, because most labor protection laws focus on hourly, minimum-wage workers.
they estimate wage theft costs USA’s workers $50 billion ANNUALLY ―and this excludes the loss of #wages vs #productivity gap… 🧵

My old #Rust in #Android team just published a blog post showing Android continues to improve #security by pushing for more memory safe code: https://security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust-in-android-move-fast-fix-things.html
The results are amazing: Android now writes more Rust than C++, and the **Rust changes land faster** due to fewer revisions and faster code reviews. Medium and large changes are **rolled back about 4 times less** than changes written in C++.
