Because that makes Trump and Hegseth look bad. Can’t have that.

Whatever meaning people attach to patting someone on their head, just pat the old man on his head and send him on his way.

I don’t think any of the events in the story or in response to the story were justified.

But surely there must be some number of wrongs that make a right?

That’s why you need to investigate and reproduce what the AI found: to verify it’s a real issue. Blindly submitting the issue is lazy noise.

Dutch schools also generally ban phones these days. Even my kids agree it’s a good idea.

Why are you rejecting the low-effort, Ai generated bug reports, Linus, isn’t AI just a productivity tool?

Because they are low effort. Good software engineering is never low effort, whether you use AI or not.

If you let AI replace people, and let them mess with software or report issues without understanding what’s going on, without putting in the effort to understand what’s going on, you’re not adding any value; just noise.

But if you use AI to find issues, then investigate the issue, reproduce it, document it, etc, then you’ve got something meaningful that someone can do something with.

That’s a valid but also very superficial take. The reason many people sympathise with him is that he killed only a single person, whereas Brian Thompson killed thousands by denying them the healthcare they already paid for. The fact that that’s legal is the real problem here.

And rejection rated dropped after the murder, so it’s entirely possible that Luigi saved more lives than he took.

Yes, this is a sick take, but it’s also a sick system, and denying that is unhelpful and dishonest. The system needs to be fixed. Something good needs to come out of this, not merely the punishment of this one guy.

How about neither?

Well, joking a bit, but also serious. Nuclear has often been presented as working reliably regardless of circumstances, but that’s clearly not entirely true, because they require water. That is an inherent issue with nuclear, and one that isn’t always accounted for. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard about a nuclear reactor having to shut down because cooling water wasn’t available for some reason.

In the past, people have often taken the availability of water for granted, but that’s clearly not something we can afford anymore. See also the issues with water being needed to cool data centers. Combine that with rising temperatures and drought.

But I was told nuclear would always work, regardless of weather!

Well, at least it sounds like solar would be a great complement. Again.

I’m not against AI in general. I’m just against using it stupidly. And against using it as a vehicle for further monopolisation and centralisation of power. I’m against the “use more AI” slogan too many companies push.

But use it for specific purposes under human control that improve quality, then I’m all for it.

The temperature doesn’t even seem to drop here at night. And the eclipse being just before sunset also reduces its impact.

I’m on Mallorca to watch this, and the sky is mostly clear here, but the eclipse is very close before sunset, and mountains make the number of places to watch limited, while the local authorities are closing a lot of roads.

I really hope we’ll be able to see it from our balcony.

From what I understand, that stuff now has to be clearly labelled as AI in the EU. Hopefully that will help a bit to reduce the mess.

Don’t they know the outdoors is for cars, not kids?

We were ordered by the US to cede our top spot.

But I’m sure that to him it’s like he served in Vietnam. Surely he deserves a medal of honour for his service aat that military school?

Yeah, but now it’s about money.

Anyway, I hope they kill FIFA and start something with a bit more accountability.

Look, I am a Christian, and I don’t want this either. Don’t do this, okay? It’s a shitty thing to do, and I’m pretty sure there’s a commandment against that.

Spain is not allowed to criticise genocide because of something that happened in the middle ages? Are you serious?
