J'ai fait enlever les quatre quand j'étais au CÉGEP. Ça a bien été dans le sens où tout s'est passé comme prévu. Mais le rétablissement est souffrant même dans le scénario idéal. 😅

Fascinating account showing how a false claim can become widely accepted (and propagated by multiple independent sources) as a result of a common academic shortcut: citing a source you haven't actually read after seeing it cited by another source: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Oh yeah, we're all going straight to McDonald's the moment the business function ends.

If you use this, update your build please; for others, it just got really good. Give it a shot. It’ll take a little bit of selecting suggested words, but it’ll acclimate even if you’re typing upside down, and never needs to phone home. Also, the swears

Why does Korea have a holiday for the alphabet? Because unlike other writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangul was the work of one dude who solved mass illiteracy by sitting down and creating a brand new fully-formed system from scratch that anyone can learn almost instantly.

“Model welfare” is a whole crock of nonsensical bullshit. LLMs are just advanced next-token generators. All they do is generate content that vaguely mimics human output.

@gregpak.netOct 9, 2026, 4:53 AMReposted by @phoque.ing

The LLMs are absolutely not conscious. This is bullshit to distract from their real actual hatms.

Ah, the ritual of a developer setting up a new computer.

Five IDEs being downloaded at the same time: DataGrip, PyCharm, RustRover, CLion, and WebStorm.

In honor of Margaret Hamilton, you can play with a browser emulation of the Apollo computer here svtsim.com/moonjs/agc.h...

Management blocking safeguards has been a Software Engineering issue since Software Enginerring has been a thing. (Margaret Hamilton was a foundational figure of SWE.)

“She asked the powers at NASA to let her add a safeguard to prevent that error in a real flight, and they laughed it off as too unlikely… When an astronaut did make that blooper during the Apollo 8 mission, it caused necessary navigational data to vanish, and they called Hamilton in to get it back.”
