Oon ehdolla kuntavaaleissa 2025 #Oulu. Nyt olen ollut tasa-arvo ja yhdenvertaisuustoimikunnassa, ja muuten talkoilin vihreiden valtakunnallista elinkeinopoliittista ohjelmaa työryhmässä. Paljon risteävätkin yhdenvertaisuus ja mm. työelämän asiat.

I think where I’m starting to land, with my experienced pre and post coding agents:

1. This is true, coding agents make you more productive if you know how to use them.
2. MBAs hoping coding agents will replace coders wholesale are going to be very disappointed with the results if they try.
At the risk of starting the flame war to end all flame wars...

Modern LLMs (GPT-5.1, Claude 4.5, Gemini 3) produce excellent code and can be a significant productivity boost to software engineers who take the time to learn how to effectively apply them - especially if used with coding agent tools

I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

I have been reading all the "students these days" threads from various sides and I have an essay's worth of thoughts -- there's a lot of complexity and heterogeneity that is hard to communicate on social media. There are a couple of things I will say here though. 1/

If CO2 emissions go to zero in 2050 (top), the sinks (green) will bring atmospheric CO2 back down (middle), & temperature will stabalise at ~1.7°C (bottom).

Going to zero today will keep us <1.5°C

Constant emissions leads to 2.6°C, rising rapidly thereafter.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥

There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️

They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

Dancing frogs have become a symbol of resistance in the USA.

Interestingly, over a decade ago David Graeber wrote a piece on the power of such symbols in protest movements.

The piece is called - On the Phenomenology of Giant Puppets. Here is an extract.

OECD:n ratkaisu on kolmiosainen:
– palautetaan progressiivisuus tuloveroihin ja omaisuuteen,
– tukitaan veropohjan vuodot ja estetään verosuunnittelu,
– ja rakennetaan globaalia verokoordinaatiota, joka palauttaa valtioille kyvyn verottaa pääomaa oikeudenmukaisesti.

I don’t know if everything will be okay on the other side of this but at least the No King Protest yesterday showed that people are not going to let the slide to fascism happen without fight.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
