Just saw this interview where the question was “how far do you think we are from having AI operate as a junior engineer 24/7?” I cannot stress enough that I would pay a reasonable fee to 𝘯𝘰𝘵 have an unsupervised junior engineer operating 24/7 in our codebase.

When someone as evil as Dick Cheney openly calls the orange felon the greatest threat to the United States, you know we are in some terrifyingly serious shit.

In times like this, integrity matters. Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 Top lawyers walked out of Paul Weiss to start their own firm—right after the firm cut a shady deal with the White House to dodge an executive order that would’ve limited its business. Some folks still have a spine.

One of the great under-reported stories of Trump’s ignorance (insanity?) is that for years he has made repeated comments about stealth fighters which suggest he believes they are literally invisible in the sky. His weirdness cannot be overstated.

Really glad Billy Joel chose to speak up on NPH as it is severely underdiagnosed due to symptoms mistaken as ”just getting old”. My dad was diagnosed 3 years ago, gotten surgery and doing better

I think if you're writing an obituary for Elon Musk's political career you should probably mention that he's still a federal employee, that his loyal right-hand man is still running his operation, and that people closely associated with him are employed in key positions all through the government

So…about AI’s energy use… “…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

Trying to keep information about all Jackson 2.x -> 3.0 changes accessible via: github.com/FasterXML/ja... -- so many changes, a lot to read.

Wow - das ist eine tolle und extrem wichtige Nachricht: In China sinkt der CO2-Ausstoß, weil das Land bei erneuerbarer Energie so erfolgreich ist. Bei gleichzeitigem Wirtschaftswachstum. Das alte Argument "bringt ja nichts, wenn wir was tun, weil China!" hat sich völlig ins Gegenteil verkehrt.

Seems to me that if there’s a senile guy doing nothing in particular the usual way and a senile guy setting everything on fire, the fire guy is the one who should be the focus of media inquiry

Pretty soon, the Trump administration is going to claim they’re doing immigrants a favor by flying them to countries where the airports still work.

Very interesting (and... obvious) point from internal discussion: rate of being better at CONVINCING it produces Good Code outpaces rate of ACTUALLY improving, by AI coding tools. Meaning it gets harder to spot actual problems faster than actual problems are reduced.

Odd. Publishing -SNAPSHOTs to central.sonatype.com works... but appears to just drop "cyclonedx-sbom"s. And javadoc bundles too?

The magic of Social Media: when I share problems, I both: (a) get help (which is great) and (b) benefit from the Demo Effect (things start working when trying to show they don't :) )

Ok. So, "tools.jackson" namespace migrated to Central Portal and as I feared, nothing really works. Starting with -SNAPSHOT publish, I assume URL should be same as with regular "central": <url>https://central.sonatype.com/api/v1/publisher</url>

Ok, Alea Iacta Est. Just requested "tools.jackson" namespace migration to the new Sonatype Central Portal... what could possibly go wrong? 😱

Ok, this: python.plainenglish.io/now-i-no-lon... -- I haven't been using tutorials but watched a few and many/most certainly are not-so-useful for actual LEARNING (vs copy-paste'ing & feel good factor)
