There's an unformed blog post in my head with the title "Rust Has Low Cognitive Load Actually". It's trying to escape.

My favourite Youtuber released on of his biannual videos in which he teaches an octopus to play the piano

Pleasantly surprised to learn that #postgres implements grapheme clusters:

SELECT length('✅');
1

The docs say "Returns the number of characters in the string.", but you never know what "characters" means in a sentence like that.

Another day, another malware campaign of zero consequence for those who don't deal in fake internet money.

I guess this is the one upside of cryptocurrencies.

Thinking about LLM security. It's a bit like phone phreaking because it's all inband-signalling. Unlike phone phreaking I'm not sure there's a way to move to outbound-signalling, it's a fundamental limitation of the model.

Leader pushing for AI adoption have it all wrong. Top down mandates to use AI aren't the way. If you are convinced AI will make people faster, increase your expectations and make AI tools and training available, then follow up to see if metrics improve(compare teams adopting AI to those that didn't)

Interesting POC rootkit that uses io_uring to perform tasks without using any syscalls, making it invisible to security tools which rely on those. The approach was found effective against many of the most popular security tools also used in containers: github.com/armosec/curing

Been attempting to code using Cursor for about 1 week now. It's not particularly good. There's so much hype about it, but my experience has been:

- It struggles to follow instructions
- Generates poor code
- Goes off on random tangents
- Forgets quickly

Been trying some vibe coding recently. The vibes: mostly anger, some frustration.

If it didn't make so many silly mistakes and go off on a bunch of unrelated tangents it would be pretty usable

So I have been thinking. Maybe Trump got really into Juche, North Korean state ideology, during his bromance with Kim Jong Un. Juche prescribes economy self-reliance and it's lowkey the best explanation I can think of for Trump's whole tariff thing.

God damnit.

Honestly, it's like politicians come stock with a trigger that turns of all critical thinking if someone says "protect the children" or "stop terrorists"
