I wonder if at this exact moment one could succeed in filing a issue against an open source project for an entirely ficticious vulnerability, get it assigned a CVE and a github score, and then get the upstream project to accept your patch for the vulnerability, with all these things presented as the issue, the CVE, and the PR being written by generative AI, but in fact you wrote them substantially by hand and the patch for your nonexistent vuln is actually a backdoor

One of the main objections I have to "large model" AI is that it is a form of piracy that fails to serve as an accurate form of archival. https://vis.social/@bleeptrack/117560078386333325 Every AI scraper develops an archive of copyrighted works that would put any library on earth to shame. Then they only let you access it it horrifically garbled, with semantic noise added, and through a straw

Wrote a thread on Bluesky here about the results last night— where American voters repudiated transphobia in every human-vs-human election, and embraced transphobia in every ballot initiative… https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:2aebn3xk5t63net43eeepire/post/3mzj7fctslt2j …and what people (specifically, cis people) need to do right now. This thread assumes the WA transphobia measure will pass. As of 4PM ET the numbers look real bad. Here's some analysis if you care about numbers. https://bsk...

MASSACHUSETTS!! I come to you with a DIRE WARNING from your FUTURE. This is because I have lived in your future. And it is called CALIFORNIA. You want to vote NO on questions 3 and 5 today. Both maybe actually sound good to you! But both have been tried in California, and they were DISASTERS. Question 3: Chaos and brokenness you cannot now anticipate Question 5: Stealth repeal of the Millionaires Tax. Watch this video where a Massachusetts Guy explains it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Somervil...

I've complained about this before but one of the w o r s t things about modern Linux is you have like eight package managers and never know where anything came from. Servo's giving me a warning. I search the Zulip. The warning means your uv is too old. I have uv installed?? News to me Oh, I have uv installed. Who the fuck are you? Where did you come from? **How do I update you??**

I wonder, if you priced out replacing every single car in the USA with an electric one (assuming Chinese prices), if it would cost more or less than "generative AI" and the AI data center buildout

Every OSS project maintainer I hear from is like "we can't ban AI because it's an unenforceable policy. There's literally no way of knowing whether something is written by AI" and every OSS project contributor I hear from is like "yeah, contributing is really miserable because I'm so busy reviewing this PRs and every single one is so obviously AI"

Okay so the hilarious thing is, one year ago I wanted to use Linux as a desktop operating system, so I was really angry Wayland was not designed to enable writing GUI applications for Linux. Wayland seems to have been designed as a kind of super-EGL, a surface negotiation protocol for embedded touchscreen devices. Now one year later I want to get Linux off my computer at any cost and I'm going hmmm so you're saying your surface negotiation protocol has NO Linux baggage…? https://app.waf...

I wonder if a sufficiently good smartgrid could TEMPEST sidechannel deduce things out of a computer plugged into it. Like maybe decryption produces noticeable signals in tiny-fraction-of-second power draw to such an extent it starts to seem plausible you can gradually derive keys from it

Awhile back on Bluesky there was discourse when someone made the (verifiably false) claim "cyberpunk" was coined before "punk" was redefined from "criminal"/"delinquent" to "cool"/"artistic". I am still thinking about how this claim, if true, would change the word "Solarpunk". What does it mean to be a solar-powered criminal. Not an ecoterrorist but a small-time hood. Do you steal batteries from Flock cameras to power mesh ne...

The key advantage of AI code assistants is they allow you to increase velocity. Velocity, of course, being the worst possible thing a software project can have, from the user's perspective. https://mastodon.online/@codechimp/117495289268759476

Does anyone know how in heck the I file a bug on a *specific* Firefox component in Bugzilla? I believe there used to be a button for this, but in the new filing interface I cannot for the life of me find it. &quot;Change&quot; only brings me back to the &quot;Firefox, or Thunderbird&quot;? screen. A Mozilla team member has asked me to file some bugs on a specific component but I only seem to be able to put them in Untriaged. Afterwards I can *edit* them into a particular componen...
