  Claude commit in Emacs; although it looks fishy - the timeline is mixed up and it is against GNU policy. My guess is that one of contributors manage their pull requests with an LLM and the latter inserted itself into the old commit message before pushing. Still a _very_ bad look for a commit pushed to the master branch. https://goto.boserup.eu/@ah/statuses/01KYC67Y3P4P0C09PZB69QX7V8

  "Faulty Towers, vibe sickness, and the vibe bobsled" by @cwebber@social.coop Very thoughtful and insightful. I like the term "vibe bobsled :). The voting machine excerpt is especially persuasive.

  This was a fun read! (a short story about lifeM-DELhack)) https://beej.us/blog/data/noises-in-the-distance/ "On the Importance of Hard Work" by @beejjorgensen@mastodon.sdf.org

  I've finished reading "House of Leaves". It was fine I guess; I was mostly hooked in the mystery of the house, so it seems that I'm on the shallow end of people liking the book. The narration structure was interesting, but I mostly liked layout and typography experiments. Cleverly planted clues went over my head and I've learned about them after reading the book from internet threads :) I've also revisited some pointers from kind folks on fedi, most notably the soundt...

  "To my students" by Brent A. Yorgey http://ozark.hendrix.edu/~yorgey/forest/00FD/index.xml read it, it's worth it.

  "Stay signed in" on some platforms is a scam. /me gives a hard look to gitlab

  recent proliferation of opinions "I'm against AI, but" is sus. just saying. ps everything before "but" is, per usual, bs.

  So #ecl project also reached a conclusion what to do with LLM contributions: https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/-/work_items/826 Long story short: no LLM code in the codebase whatsoever until a legislative consensus is reached (and then we may reevaluate it). #lisp

  Recently I've discovered a music player that is very pleasant to use: Pragha Music Player https://pragha-music-player.github.io/ if you look for one, then give it a whirl :)

  I've watched the #Clojure documentary[1] and it was genuinely fun watch, with plenty of interviews and mentions of Common #Lisp . Stylistics were a bit nerdy, especially adding the camera effect to "past events", as if 2025 didn't have decent recordings; my wife liked it, I didn't so much. In any case, if you have an hour, it isn't the worst thing you could do during that time. [1] https://clojure.org/about/documentary

  Apropos nothing, it is OK to have fun at work; normalizing burnout as an acceptable tradeoff for increasing the performance is evil.

  SDL rejects LLM contributions on basis that the source can't be determined, hence incompatible with zlib license. https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/15350#issuecomment-4224907948 I feel now slightly better with investing time in SDL backend for McCLIM :)
