@fred@social.fthevenet.eu @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange I have read many metaphors for LLM commits and one I liked was that of building car-dependent cities. Sure, cars are faster than walking and useful for hauling stuff. The other cities are also building roads to boost commerce etc... And after years or decades you notice that everything's a car-dependent hellhole. Kids get run over all the time and costs are externalised but it's hard to attribute it to a single decision in the past or a frameworks/embargo you didn't put up.

One of the TVs at a local Burger King has had a problem for at least 4 years now. It shows skin tones in blue as if it‘s a broken or swapped video cable.
It feels so like being in a time bubble from back when YCbCr cables were common. And it’s cool because the neverending loop of music videos looks like a live stream from another planet.

@petergleick We have such a politician in Germany. Formerly enployed by the fossil fuel industry, she was working in government already years ago when Germany killed off its solar industry. Now she‘s the secretary for economy/energy and every week there’s news about how she‘s building LNG powerplants while harming renewables. She actually said that the business case for renewables needs to be made worse. But people voted her party into office so it’s Germans who are at fault. #ReicheRücktritt

@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz In German we have toetips (Zehenspitzen) and you can walk on them. But we don‘t have a cute single verb for it like tiptoeing. Our fingertips are called „Fingerspitzen“ and there is Fingerspitzengefühl: the feeling of your fingertips. Which means you do delicate work or something requires you to approach something carefully.

This vintage trailer I saw reminds me of the Norwegian movie „Kitchen Stories“ (Salmer fra kjøkkenet). I was lucky to catch it in an arthouse cinema years ago. It seems hard to get these days. Not streaming anywhere. 1 DVD on Amazon for 50€. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0323872/ #movie

The city of #Munich is admitting that our water supply is running low. We're famous for our good drinking water which is fed by aquifers from an alpine region to the south. But that region's glaciers have been melting for a while and there's less and less snow in winter. For the next couple of weeks there's a total ban on watering your lawn, washing your car outside of commercial car washes (don't ask, this is Germany, apparently this is still a thing), etc... #ClimateDiary #ClimateCrisis

I just heard the Rickrolling music video ("never gonna give you up") and the movie Con Air were both directed by the same guy!

Thanks to #PatrickHWillems who has an episode about music videos on both Youtube and Nebula.

RE: @vampiress@eigenmagic.net

Reading this and watching the video linked in the blog post made me realize how little creativity there is in most of the VFX industry. We're mostly crafts enterprises: replace the sky, remove those antennas because the movie takes place 100 years ago, add realistic water, add realistic fire, make the plastic prop levitate.

That work is mostly fulfilling and you can even offer options to a client, but ultimately you'll be told what to do through 3+ levels of supervisors and reviews.

@smn @BillMcGuire @Nonilex In Germany, we've long had a "Yanks out" sentiment simmering in leftist parts of society (was way more prevalent in the 80s though). I don't know how much Putin is deterred by 2k, 5k or 10k US soldiers on German soil. I don't know if the local economy around US bases would suffer. But having bases like Ramstein certainly helps the US to attack Middle Eastern countries. Does Trumps troop reduction make this harder? Somehow I doubt it.

I was reminded of this after seeing this article and the thumbnail that Ars Technica chose to use: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/04/palantir-employees-are-talking-about-companys-descent-into-fascism/ "Are we the baddies?" would, I think, be a prime candidate for such a meme. Or is culture too fractured that nobody besides online nerds would recognise that joke? #AreWeTheBaddies

@raganwald@social.bau-ha.us Thanks for sharing this great article! Another very good point that I haven't seen quoted here is this: "...someone is always learning the system from scratch, which means someone always has recent context on how the onboarding works (or doesn't), where the documentation gaps are..." I'm currently onboarding a new colleague and it's incredible how often I notice that docs are outdated or some context only existed in my mind so far.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org Reading their press release gives me a headache. It's like they constantly need to weave some sentences in there to point out how this is totally not the usual method of cutting costs by laying off people. As if they prompted an LLM to make it sound positive by pointing out corporate success. "Our first quarter adoption is promising, and we're ready to accelerate." 🙄
