Entry: 2025-07-10 23:21:02.148326+02 Wrapping values with types in Rust by Dan Lyke comments 0
Okay, now I'm beginning to see some of the idioms that make Rust really cool: An (almost) catastrophic OpenZFS bug and the humans that made it (and Rust is here too).
In particular, the function that had the bug had 3 different sizes, a "logical" (user visible) size, a "physical" size (the size for the logical data after compression or other transforms) and the "allocated" size (physical plus metadata, checksums, etc), and got them confused.
The solution in Rust is to declare your types like struct PhysicalSize(u64); and use the .0 from them when you need the actual number, and... this is a really cool language feature and I need to write more Rust.

Not exactly news, it's what ... everyone? ... well, a ton of people in my circles have been saying: Measuring the Impact of Early-2025 AI on Experienced Open-Source Developer Productivity
Core Result
When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.

ADD / XOR / ROL — A non-anthropomorphized view of LLMs
I am baffled that the AI discussions seem to never move away from treating a function to generate sequences of words as something that resembles a human. Statements such as "an AI agent could become an insider threat so it needs monitoring" are simultaneously unsurprising (you have a randomized sequence generator fed into your shell, literally anything can happen!) and baffling (you talk as if you believe the dice you play with had a mind of their own and could decide to conspire against you).
Of course that view is carefully curated by a continuous barrage of articles about how the AIs are plotting against us or will consider blackmail or whatever. (Via)

The dawn of micropayments: Cloudflare To Block AI Crawlers By Default & Pay Per Crawl Model

Now, new customers that sign up for Cloudflare by default will automatically block AI crawlers. Existing customers can block AI crawlers anytime with a single click in their Cloudflare dashboard. This shifts content scraping from an opt-out to opt-in format. There is a lot of buzz on Techmeme on this news.

Counter to my cynicism: Thomas Ptacek: My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts. I remain skeptical, but a few things resonated, like:
If hallucination matters to you, your programming language has let you down.
Agents lint. They compile and run tests. If their LLM invents a new function signature, the agent sees the error. They feed it back to the LLM, which says “oh, right, I totally made that up” and then tries again.
This is one of the reasons I get frustrated with Python. On the other hand I've seen enough subtlety in C and C++ that I'm also not convinced there, and have my own complaints about Rust, but... good languages type. Hard.

Entry: 2025-05-12 21:50:34.708811+02 Life with Althaar by Dan Lyke comments 0
One nice thing about walking to work is that I get a bit of time to enjoy podcasts. Lately I've been bouncing between music podcasts, like Strong Songs and Switched on Pop, and fiction, like Midnight Burger, Fawx and Stallion, The Amelia Project, Kingmaker Histories (Doesn't seem to have a clear "we own this" web presence), and... well... when I need more dick jokes in my life, Today's Lucky Winner. I'd caught up with those, Googled, and ran across a Reddit thread recommending Life with Althaar.
Setup was cute, low level maintenance guy, John B, is deployed by corporate to a space station, finds an ad for a room to let at a cheap price, turns out the catch is that his room mate is an annoyingly perky alien from a race that humans have a viscerally negative reaction to, but Althaar, the annoyingly perky alien, desperately wants to be friends with humans. And they have a neighbor who's kindly old lady plant species who occasionally makes dark comments about interplanetary domination.
Classic sitcom setup. A few funny episodes. Enjoying it, hearing the cast and producers get their sea legs. And then there's an episode in which the protagonist faces mortal peril, and it's an emotional kick in the gut.
And then it's funny, and then... it takes a dark and political turn and holy shit, this is powerful.
I posted a short rave on my blog, and one of the creators dropped by to warn me to stop at episode 30 until they can start creating new episodes again, because it's been on hiatus for a few years, but circumstances in the world mean it's important to them to continue.
Get past the intelligibility issues with Althaar on the first two episodes, that gets better. Some of the sound design uses a little too much stereo separation, headphones can be a little extreme. Yes, the episodes are long, but...
If you've needed a radio show that's an updated "Cabaret" for modern times, an inspiring tale of politics and resistance and what one cog in a machine can do, add this one to your podcast queue. And when they try to tell you that "nobody saw this coming", as they inevitably will, this is another example that we can point to.
And in case it isn't clear, all of those other podcasts have positive recommendations from me and each deserves their own long review independently, but this one is kicking me in the gut, in an amazing way.

It appears that not all of us are becoming more hostile, but that the people who are get more exposure online, making the perception of hostility outsized.
Across eight studies, leveraging cross-national surveys and behavioral experiments (total N = 8,434), we test the mismatch hypothesis but only find evidence for limited selection effects. Instead, hostile political discussions are the result of status-driven individuals who are drawn to politics and are equally hostile both online and offline. Finally, we offer initial evidence that online discussions feel more hostile, in part, because the behavior of such individuals is more visible online than offline.
