A great developer conference should include a retro computing talk. @matt.godbolt.org is speaking on ZX Spectrum emulation using ultra-modern C++ at #cpponsea 2025! @cpponsea.bsky.social

This is you regular reminder that windows still sux. It rebooted my PC without asking and in the process lost my unsaved notepad document I was drafting a process report in for the entire evening. Thanks for nothing M$. #save_often #save_early #microsoft_sux

What options exist these days for "native" UI development with C++ on Windows?

Are you familiar with WinUI? Or is it more that you'd want to move away from C++/CLI or move because it's "newer"?

In general, but specifically in engineering: Trust, but Verify 👍 also Dont mistake chatgpt for intelligence. AI is just a misnomer for machine learning.

"The Slow Collapse of Critical Thinking in OSINT due to AI": www.dutchosintguy.com/post/the-slo...

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Study That Should Alarm You In early 2025, a team from Carnegie Mellon and Microsoft Research published something every OSINT analyst should read, but most haven’t. It was a large-scale survey of 319 knowledge workers using GenAI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, and Gemini in their daily work. What they found is a warning shot. The study revealed a clear pattern: the more confidence users had in the AI, the less they thought critically. In contrast, the more confident they were in themselves, the more likely they were to question the output, verify the information, and think deeply about the task. Let that sink in: Confidence in AI replaces confidence in self and with it, the thinking disappears. Here’s the punchline: High trust in GenAI consistently led to reduced critical thinking and less cognitive effort across the board. Participants weren’t lazy. They were experienced professionals. But when the tool responded quickly, confidently, and clearly they stopped doing the hard part. They stopped questioning. Stopped verifying. Stopped applying the mental friction that separates automation from investigation. The scary part is that many users still believed they were thinking critically, because GenAI made them feel smart.

Accurate.
A tweet from Anonymous ( @YourAnonNews ). The tweet includes an image of a cartoon dinosaur wearing a red "TRUMP 45-47" cap, standing on a rocky landscape with a fiery meteor descending in the sky. Another smaller dinosaur is visible in the background. The dinosaur with the cap has a speech bubble saying, "Haha! That’s really going to hurt the liberals!"

On one side worrysome but on the other side, isn't this what marketing does with all tech?

Talk about saying the quiet part out loud.

Folks who don't understand AI like it more but once they understand it they find it less appealing. SOOOOOO companies should target low literacy customers and keep folks ignorant

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Like wow 🤯
As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms society, understanding factors that influence AI receptivity is increasingly important. The current research investigates which types of consumers have greater AI receptivity. Contrary to expectations revealed in four surveys, cross country data and six additional studies find that people with lower AI literacy are typically more receptive to AI. This lower literacy-greater receptivity link is not explained by differences in perceptions of AI’s capability, ethicality, or feared impact on humanity. Instead, this link occurs because people with lower AI literacy are more likely to perceive AI as magical and experience feelings of awe in the face of AI’s execution of tasks that seem to require uniquely human attributes. In line with this theorizing, the lower literacy-higher receptivity link is mediated by perceptions of AI as magical and is moderated among tasks not assumed to require distinctly human attributes. These findings suggest that companies may benefit from shifting their marketing efforts and product development towards consumers with lower AI literacy. Additionally, efforts to demystify AI may inadvertently reduce its appeal, indicating that maintaining an aura of magic around AI could be beneficial for adoption.

I like how Intel TBB mentions 'When Not to Use Queues'

Yes, It's a nicely implemented queue, but queues in general are an anti-pattern if you're trying to not stall threads ;)

You can turn this off, in fact for software delopment I think this is vital.

A friend of mine took this photo yesterday
A photo of the front of a bookshop. Above the shop windows, under the name of the shop is a quote attributed to Neil Gaiman. A man on a ladder is scraping Gaiman’s name off.
