@zev I mean Casey Neistat published a video about it pretty much immediately. Not sure if it's part of the marketing push because he wasn't that keen on it but it did feel like a video showing off it's abilities. Anyway, I sure hope it goes away but I really doubt it.

A pretty cool thing about the Fediverse: It will still be around in a decade. Even two decades. Usenet still exists. IRC still exists. Email still exists. When you build platforms on open protocols and standards, it doesn't actually matter what corporations try and do to enshittify it. So long as there are people who are still willing to run instances, and users who still want to talk to one another without going through some corporation's platform, it'll still be here.

I've seen the news of a successful treatment of Huntington's described as "a miracle" and it really, really annoys me to see the work of years described as "a miracle". It's not a miracle. People busted their ass for ages, possibly overworked, possibly underpaid. Undergrads and grads toiled in labs at unholy hours on weekends. It's not a miracle. I don't even want to say "It's science" because it's not about the scientific method (ok, it is in this case, but), it's about the very hard work.

I heard a recent podcast where a developer was saying that AI apps today are like web apps from 10 years ago (yes, 2015), where you had to learn to not mix customers data or leak customers data. He claimed it was a new concept in 2015. And this is the state of the average developer today.

Billionaire in Nicaragua?? First sign this story is going in the way of a scam artist... There MAY be one here in Nicaragua, Carlos Pellas, but I doubt he's at that level.
Pietras was vague about how he had made his fortune. He told Andrew he’d earned his M.B.A. from NYU and once worked for a billionaire in Nicaragua.

"In the last week, we’ve had no less than three different pieces asking whether the massive proliferation of data centers is a massive bubble, and though they, at times, seem to take the default position of AI’s inevitable value, they’ve begun to sour on the idea that it’s going to happen soon. Meanwhile, quirked-up threehundricorn OpenAI has either raised or is about to raise another $8.3 billion in cash, less than two months since it raised $10 billion from SoftBank and a selection of venture capital firms. I hate to be too crude, but where the fuck is this money going? Is OpenAI just incinerating capital? Is it compute? Is it salaries? Is it compute? Is it to build data centers, because SoftBank isn’t actually building anything for Stargate? The Information suggested OpenAI is using the money to build data centers — possibly the only worse investment it can make other than generative AI, and it’s one that it can’t avoid because OpenAI also is somehow running out of compute. And now they're in "early-stage discussions" about an employee share sale that would value the company at $500 billion, a ludicrous number that shows we're leaving the realm of reality. To give you some context, Shopify's market cap is $197 billion, Salesforce's is $248 billion, and Netflix's is $499 billion. Do you really think that OpenAI is worth more than these companies? Do you think they're worth more than AMD at a $264 billion market cap? Do you?"

We decided to watch True Detective as my wife has never seen it (well, some of S4, which... well more below). I forgot how amazing S1 was. I also forgot how stupid S2 is. Who the hell cast Vince Vaughn as a tough guy mafia boss? I don't believe this guy for a second. S3 I remember being much better than S2. Half way through S2 still so... S4 was terrible. Worst season easily (and that's saying something cause S2 sucks). We won't revisit this one. I think S2 bothers me so much because it's based in LA and I want to love it just for that fact alone (being an Angelino myself). Picking out locations, "Vinci" is supposed to be Vernon, "Vinci Gardens" casino, obviously Hawaiian Gardens Casino, etc. God damn they just did such a terrible job with casting and the portrayal of SoCal street life that I just am annoyed watching it.

@codingjoe Nice to meet you as well. I'm not surprised, I sort of disappeared from the Python/Django community quite a while ago (time constraints), I don't use Github and I don't promote much. The cool part is getting emails from dev's in big companies (small ones too) thanking me for the tool and how it helps them with their responsibilities, etc. hijack looks nice! I've never actually used it. There used to be django-masquerade which was similar as well but I think it's been abandoned.

"China has performed this miracle many times over. The world’s largest and most innovative producers of EVs (BYD), EV batteries (CATL), drones (DJI) and solar wafers (LONGi) are all Chinese start-ups, none more than 30 years old. They attained commanding technological and price leadership not because President Xi Jinping decreed it, but because they emerged triumphant from the economic Darwinism that is Chinese industrial policy. The rest of the world is ill prepared to compete with these apex predators. When U.S. policymakers deride China’s industrial policy, they are imagining something akin to the lumbering takeoff of Airbus or the lights going out on Solyndra. They should instead be gazing up at the nimble swarms of DJI drones buzzing over Ukraine. China Shock 1.0 was bound to ebb when China ran out of low-cost labor, as it now has. Its growth is already falling behind Vietnam’s in industries such as clothing and commodity furniture. But unlike the United States, China is not looking back and mourning its lost manufacturing prowess. It is focusing instead on the key technologies of the 21st century. Contrary to a strategy built on cheap labor, China Shock 2.0 will last for as long as China has the resources, patience and discipline to compete fiercely. And if you doubt China’s capability or determination, the evidence is not on your side. According to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, an independent think tank funded by the Australian Department of Defense, the United States led China in 60 of 64 frontier technologies, such as A.I. and cryptography, between 2003 and 2007, while China led the United States in just three. In the most recent report, covering 2019 through 2023, the rankings were flipped on their head. China led in 57 of 64 key technologies, and the United States held the lead in only seven." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/opinion/china-shock-economy-manufacturing.html #USA #Trump #TradeWar #Tariffs #China #Manufacturing #Protectionism #PoliticalEconomy
