He called it "magic intelligence in the sky" a few years ago. Truly living in the twilight zone where people fall for this.

You might say we couldn't have written Trump's comments better. But we did write them.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Elon Musk - il "visionario" che ce l'ha fatta "da solo", l'impreditore "geniale" destinato a portarci su Marte, il nemico numero uno della burocrazia statale - ha incassato ben *38 miliardi* di fondi pubblici. Senza lo Stato cattivo e i contributi dei lavoratori, insomma, Musk non sarebbe Musk.

New Blog Post! www.shadaj.me/writing/dist... I argue that we’re *still* lacking a programming model that’s native to distributed systems, and outline what’s missing.

"AI technology appears to outperform humans. But a closer look reveals that these games are rigged. The competitions do not actually ask machines to perform human tasks; it’s more accurate to say that they ask humans to behave in machine-like ways as they perform lifeless simulacra of human tasks."

just gonna be the thousandth person to remind you all that segregationists start the open bigotry with people they feel they can target most easily but do not end there

“Together, these actions will make people in the United States and around the world less prosperous and more vulnerable.” “We at Nature denounce this assault on science. And we encourage the global research community, wherever they can, to voice their opposition.”

Hey #IEEE, can you explain where your "Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at IEEE" page went?! Last week, it was still linked on the front page. Now: It's gone, and the old link goes to "We are sorry, the page you are looking for has been moved or removed." www.ieee.org/about/divers...

The proper name for a country next to Russia that isn't in NATO is "next".

Very interesting talk if you're building container images - especially for the JVM. I had not really explored buildpacks for this. Definitely gave me some things to think about

Le falsità e le provocazioni di Trump e dei suoi sono talmente tante che è impossibile stargli dietro – ed è proprio questo il punto. La strategia di "sommergere [i media] di merda" l'ha coniata Steve Bannon, ispirandosi al modello putiniano di Vladislav Surkov. Ne ho scritto su "Complotti!" 👇

an old co-author emailed me looking for a confirmation a non-existent paper supposedly authored by me that one of her students has cited in an essay... so i got curious and prompted gpt-4o “papers by abeba birhane”. it listed 9 papers none of which I authored

‘Orwellian’ -a very clear statement from Dorian Lynskey @dorianlynskey.bsky.social in the Independent.

He nails it.

thanks to @solalpirelli.bsky.social for this nice piece on pseudoscience published by IEEE - and the need for the publisher to step up to the plate and start retracting this garbage if they want to retain any credibility. deevybee.blogspot.com/2025/02/ieee...

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Soldato ucraino con un teschio sulla mimetica: "Ah, aiuto c'è un problema di nazismo. Nazisti buh, brutti. Non vi meritate i nostri soldi." Oligarca occidentale che fa letteralmente il sieg heil in diretta tv globale: "Mhh, l'angolo non è proprio quello del sieg heil."

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

Dear Europe — Russia is putting huge effort to increase migration to Western Europe through the West African route. There’s growing disinformation spread through the media in West Africa encouraging people to travel northwards. I’ve spoken. It’s time for you to act. Counter it.

Who has the best case for the ownership of Trump?

I was in Paris last week for the #AIActionSummit & was honoured to participate in the “AI in public interest” panel. 👇🏾 my thoughts & reflections on what AI in public interest is/isn’t & some concrete steps/initiatives for `bending the arc of AI towards the public interest' aial.ie/pages/aiparis/

We anti imperialists are delighted that finally we can end neo-colonialism by having big countries negotiate over the heads of smaller countries.

"Sorry, we can't make this technology that sucks and nobody wants and that uses enough power to blow up the moon unless we *also* steal people's shit to throw into our content woodchipper in order to produce mediocre digital particleboard out of the cumulative artbarf." futurism.com/the-byte/ope...

Le radici della "mafia di PayPal" risalgono al Sudafrica dell'apartheid Elon Musk è cresciuto con i privilegi di un ordine razziale stratificato e Peter Thiel ha vissuto in una città che venerava Hitler.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

See here's how to do a headline. fortune.com/2025/02/13/e...

Text from before 2022 is the new ”Low-background steel”: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-bac...

In the early 1930s, German communists, obeying Stalin, insisted Hitler didn't matter and was merely capitalism's dying gasp. The real enemy was "social fascism", i.e. Social Democrats, the moderate left. They kept saying this *after* most of their members were locked up in camps.

current state: it's easier to compile some rust crate to wasm than figure out if that other npm package is maintained or not

If you have to take steps to conceal the IP address of your A.I. data torrenter so it's not traced back to your company's servers as you harvest terabytes of copyrighted books, you just might be operating outside of ethical norms

The highly esteemed independent Italian news organization @valigiablu.it has decided to publish its impactful 24 January article also in English. Smart move. Highly recommended. www.valigiablu.it/facebook-ins...

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.
