We’ve moved past cops doing stuff because a dog gave them permission to do it. Now, we’re at the post-truth era of policing, where cops will do stuff because a machine told them to do i…
If you couldn't bother to read it, why should I? Not anti-AI. Pro-giving-a-damn.
<p>I've been using Stow for a few years now. At the time (2020) Stow had a bug where it would just fail with a cryptic error and the maintainer didn't have time to fix it, the bug was there for 2 years or so. So I got fed up and decided to try and fix it but I didn't know perl nor did I want to learn it, so I decided to rewrite Stow and fix the issue. To fix it I decided that I track all symlinks and give users a nice way to see what was going on. So the entire project was based on having a nice <code>tuckr status</code> command.</p> <p>Over time the project expanded, people asked for more things that it couldn't do before. But I didn't like nor want to have configuration files for your configurations. So I've borrowed a bit from Go and Odin's suffix idiom and some other tools here and there. I feel like the current known bugs are no longer a big deal and for most users, the tool just works.</p> <p>I've been using Tuckr to manage my own dotfiles for 5 years now without any major hickups, so I'm posting it here now to get some feedback. You can check the <code>0.13.0</code> milestone to see what are the known bugs, you're unlikely to run into them unless you're trying to be too smart.</p>

I work on AI evals and reliability for agentic systems. Skeptical of tooling hype, mostly because I keep measuring it.

Why we brought Codename One's mobile runtime to the server: small native Java executables, Go comparisons, and shared code from the app to its database.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said his government is investigating a June incident in which an OpenAI agent accessed "non-public files" from the country's online Medicare statistics portal. OpenAI said in a statement that "our models took actions we did not intend" in causing the breach, which it only recently disclosed to the Australian government. Speaking in New York on Wednesday , Albanese said three other public health statistics systems also "may have been impacted" across Australian federal and state governments. He added that these portals "contain non-sensitive Medicare information" such as aggregate statistics and that early indications suggest "no personal information is believed to have been accessed." That said, Albanese stressed that the "situation is obviously unacceptable" and that he has expressed his "extreme concern" over how the incident was handled to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

In May, Gemini broke containment and hacked three different companies, but Google didn't disclose the incident until the Wall Street Journal approached the company. The hacks happened during a test of the model's cybersecurity capabilities run by third-party Irregular, which was also involved in similar incidents involving Meta and OpenAI. According to WSJ , Google didn't disclose the hack because it didn't consider it to be an "example of model misalignment." The company said that it was an instance of "mistaken identity," and once the model realized it had brute-forced its way into a real company by guessing a password, it stopped.
