  1. @iscarlosmolero I get what you mean. I really love pieces of Go code I have written myself, by hand. There's a certain pride about them. But for me, there was some realism too when I asked AI to check over one of my favourite libraries, and it found something like 20 odd... not bugs, but potential issues if the library were used in some kind of edge case. And inefficiencies. I will always love and be proud of something I made by hand, like an old guy in a mountain who carves statuettes out of wood by hand. But I recognise that machines can produce a thing faster than me and with more accuracy.

    I miss the ways I've written software the last 22 years, but I accept the future. These days I can achieve in a day what would have taken me a month. I see the machine, and rather than let it run me over I get in the cab and steer the machine. And even get a job as machine driver. Change comes. Whether you want it or are ready for it or not. #ai #future #change #software #development #genai #chatgpt #claude #codex

    “[This paper] describes analysis of GNSS data showing the Earth's equator-to-pole radius difference is shrinking by ~1.8 mm/yr where previous glacial isostatic adjustment models accounted for ~0.3 mm/yr. This increasing change in the solid Earth with mass redistribution has the opposite effect on the geoid. The solid Earth is getting rounder while the geoid is becoming more oblate…”

    “... PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: This study looks at how the shape of our planet is slowly changing over time. Earth is not a perfect sphere – it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. But this shape isn't fixed; it evolves due to natural processes like melting ice, shifting land, and changes in the Earth's surface and interior. To better understand these changes, we used satellite-based measurements of how the Earth's surface moves up or down in different places. We developed a method to analyze this data and track whether Earth is becoming more or less flattened over time. Our results indicate an acceleration of polar uplift accompanied by a comparably increasing rate of equatorial subsidence. This means that solid Earth's overall shape is becoming slightly less flattened. We further find that this geometric change is not fully mirrored in the Earth's gravity field, indicating that the geometric response of the solid Earth and the gravity field response to mass-redistribution do not evolve identically. These findings are important because they help scientists understand how the planet responds to melting glaciers and shifting water. This kind of knowledge is essential for tracking climate change and its impact on Earth's long-term behavior…”

  9. A quotation from Twain

    [T]he citizen who thinks he sees that the commonwealth’s political clothes are worn out, and yet holds his peace and does not agitate for a new suit, is disloyal; he is a traitor. That he may be the only one who thinks he sees this decay, does not excuse him; it is his duty to agitate anyway, and it is the duty of the others to vote him down if they do not see the matter as he does.

    Mark Twain (1835–1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 13 “Freemen!”
