  1. Robinhood just announced AI agents that can trade and spend on your behalf — with "limited human interaction."
    Cool feature. But who is accountable when it goes wrong?
    A spending cap and a push notification is not governance. It's a disclaimer.
    We're building AI systems that act in the world and treating accountability like a settings menu.
    Accounting, and structure of current AI is disgusting. Making the rich richer and the poor poorer, but that's not AI's fault.

  2. Varnish, it's like MySQL, Gitea, ownCloud and OpenOffice?

    Well we're all familiar with MariaDB, Forgejo, and LibreOffice, now one group that is likening the creation of those forks by the original development teams is also asking folks (for the sake of understanding) that #Vinyl-cache is the original, unbroken codebase that was once #Varnish, yet furthermore, is also akin to other software such as those others mentioned above both pre and post forking.

    https://vinyl-cache.org/organization/on_vinyl_cache_and_varnish_cache.html#our-opinion

    Obviously, this could be confusing. Which should you use? which is the original? which is better?

    Honestly, this is a matter of philosophy, business, and other matters of choice; but not so much in substance - yet. These two code bases haven't had much time to diverge, but they are, and have been, for a bit now. Both are FOSS. Both (or at least one) claims to be the continuation of a two decades old code base. Here's what's important now, and how you might want to come to your own conclusions as to which one to choose moving forward.

    #Sun_Microsystems manufactured some of the most admired and trusted enterprise server hardware platforms. They also created and maintained #Solaris (SunOS), and they scooped up the custodianship for what was once Star Office in the form of #OpenOffice. They also brought Monty's #MySQL into the fold, while VirtualBox was another free offering.

    #Sun was acquired by the #Evil_EllisonCo, aka, #Oracle. Immediately, the company was dismantled. Servers rebranded, while the OpenOffice developer team mutinied under the tutelage of Ellison, and then departed forming "The Document Foundation (TDF) in the process - a fork, #LibreOffice resulted.

    Monty Widenius, already soured on the state of MySQL's place at the table with Oracle created the fork, MariaDB (Slackware Linux was the first major Linux distro to include MariaDB as the default during installation of the OS).

    MySQL had much use for Oracle but Not OpenOffice (aka OOo), and Ellison refused to give the name to the Document Foundation, so it languished in the Apache Incubator, where he had gifted it, for many years.

    Another famous new name that is essentially the original team of creators and developers is #NextCloud, and yes, #ownCloud does still exist... somewhere, or so I'm told ;)

    When the three people in charge of steering and the custodianship of Gitea Formed a couple of for profit companies and assigned all trade and service marks of the product to those companies, it caused a great stir within the FOSS community (because this was the de facto leading #FOSS version of a code forge especially appropriate to host FOSS projects). A new Fork, #Forgejo was birthed.

    So in a nutshell, When the Varnish project bootstrapped a for profit corporation to operate under (even though at this time it's still FOSS), it likewise spawned a fork of itself, and like the others, the defecting developers created the name #Vinyl, and forked Varnish-cache so that it is Vinyl-cache that continues in the tradition of FOSS while it's expected that Varnish-cache will continue to diverge from the direction of the original code base and philosophy.

  3. Two new "hats" are almost ready for release, adding some melee action to the game. One is inspired by Pax Tux, the other by Sir Optimize. Each provides directional protection against magic - one reflects fireballs, the other prevents being frozen - and both catch arrows.
