"Heard of a cool tech-bro-weeding interview technique the other day. A male and female engineer conduct the interview session together. If, when the female engineer asks the candidate a question, he directs his answer to the male engineer, then he's out. They said it happens a lot"

(I posted this on Twitter back in 2019 and screenshots of that tweet are still making the rounds. So here it is again as a toot that you can link to :)

„Germany is in trouble, undoubtedly. The AfD is a dangerous party, whose leaders spew hatred against minorities, uphold an ethnonationalist ideology and cozy up to Vladimir Putin’s Russia. But we should not give in to gloom. There is still time to turn things around.”

By Anna Sauerbrey in the New York Times. I concur.

Spain and Italy continue their childish fight over the Ceuta incident by posting #Schengen notifications on border controls between both of their countries every two weeks. Dear @nprofile1q... can you please step in and stop this sh*t? We need to return to Schengen the way it was supposed to be and that's your task.

#Oops. A benchmark that checks how good "AI" coding works on real code from real companies. The TL;DR: Nope, it doesn't work. Not even close.

"Does AI code match the bar of a real-world enterprise? Our results show us that we're far from that reality. [...] We've found that today's models are weaker at understanding company coding patterns and frequently miss requirements or don't verify their assumptions."

Venture Capital is just another way for modern robber barons to undermine democracy and solidarity. And it seems to work. How do you counter that? By building decentralised cooperatives and weaning people off of centralised algorithmic social networks. The way we do with ActivityPub. People beat billionaires. Don't give up, don't give in!
