L’AssemblĂ©e nationale abroge le Code noir: «Ce vote est un dĂ©but, qu’il soit aussi un avertissement!»
Les dĂ©bats qui se sont tenus jeudi 28 mai dans l’hĂ©micycle ont rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© l’hypocrisie du Rassemblement national, tout en rĂ©sonnant avec l’actualitĂ© brĂ»lante des discriminations et du racisme dans la France contemporaine. Nombre de dĂ©putĂ©s ont dĂ©plorĂ© l’inaction du chef de l’État en la matiĂšre. ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » I’ve started collecting reasons against AI usage here, so I don’t have to repeat myself all the time:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks! There are a few points in there that I’ll add to my list.

Your very first point is obviously crucial. “Writing code” is just the means to an end for many people and they don’t really care about it or like it, so they love AI. I had this in another draft (it refers to the other list I posted):

https://movq.de/v/614f14c3ef/ramble.txt

And this right here is so important:

simplicity is the real art and much harder to achieve.

Finding an elegant, simple solution is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay harder than anything else. And here’s the thing: I don’t get why nerds/techies don’t get “nerd-sniped” by this. A lot of people love building big stuff and then brag about being clever/competent because they were able to build that big thing – but once you realize that this approach is the lazy one, shouldn’t you make finding the elegant solution your goal? Doesn’t that give you more bragging rights?

(Am I being clear? Do you understand what I mean? 😅)

In-reply-to » @lyse Uhhh, yes, I have one single script to build the website and I ran that while writing that noai.html page. Apart from the global updated field in my feeds (that one got changed), everything else should be stable, though.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks. I noticed the <updated> of the feed, too. But for some reason, some articles were suddenly marked as new.

On some YouTube feed <entry>s, I noticed updated <updated> fields showing today’s timestamps. But unless there is no <published>, the <updated> is not even considered. I verified that in the source code. Yet, all the affected articles in Newsboat show today’s timestamp, not the years old publication timestamp. I generate the YouTube feeds from the original feeds myself once a day, so I doubt that this is cause by some YouTube shenanigans.

Very weird, it doesn’t make any sense at all. What is going on here? O_o It doesn’t appear that I have duplicates in the database either.

Frankreich hebt Sklavereigesetz formell auf
341 Jahre nach EinfĂŒhrung der Sklavereigesetze in Frankreich werden diese am Donnerstag von der Nationalversammlung nun auch formell völlig aufgehoben. Die Abstimmung ĂŒber das Ende des Code Noir ist vor allem ein symbolischer Akt – und der Versuch des Landes, sich stĂ€rker und offener der blutigen Kolonialgeschichte zu stellen. Erstmals schließt Frankreichs PrĂ€sident Emmanuel Macron auch Reparationen nicht mehr aus. ⌘ Read more

AI ‘capability leap’: 80% of software developers now using it
Late last year, AWS senior engineer Mike Nooney noticed a flurry of activity on social media that indicated something exciting had happened in his field: AI had taken what we described as a “capability leap”.

“So, I thought, let’s get in and have a look at Claude Code and some of the other tools,” he recounted to an audience at last week’s Techweek26 summit. ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » I just realized that this book, which I’m still using as a reference every now and then, is from 2005.

@tftp@tilde.town Ah, I see. I have a feeling that a lot of stuff is going on under the hood all the time and it’s mostly the userland-visible things that stay the same? đŸ€” But yeah, some stuff is really, really old, like the TCP code I’ve recently (tried to) read.
