When I started with Dani's Race I thought that the extend of my programming will be something like dynamically changing the speed of a car and maybe loading and unloading certain things on the map based on the distance from them. But quickly it became a mind-field of math and other programming cleverness. A...

This reminds me of @baldur's discussion (baldurbjarnason.com/2025/follo) of a similar issue:

“It’s next to impossible for individuals to assess the benefit or harm of chatbots and agents through self-experimentation. These tools trigger a number of biases and effects that cloud our judgement. Generative models also have a volatility of results and uneven distribution of harms, similar to pharmaceuticals, that means it’s impossible to discover for yourself what their societal or even organisational impact will be.”

“When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues… developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.”

It took me a few days to upgrade my Mastodon since it required some self-inflicted yak shaving to upgrade my very old version of Ubuntu.

Kagi searches reveal that lots of people have this problem, so here's how I upgraded my very old #Ubuntu to the latest LTS release.

{anonymous => 'hash'}; · Updating an old Ubuntu to a supported versionI’d inadvisably allowed my Ubuntu get way out of date. This is how I upgraded it from Kinetic Kudu (v22.10) to Noble Numbat (v24.04).

Rajanen/Iivari: Open Source and Human Computer Interaction Philosophies in Open Source Projects – Incompatible or Co-Existent? (2013)

"The usability specialists aligned their work with the OSS philosophy. However, through this alignment, in the other case they become very immersed in the OSS project, encountering a risk of becoming misaligned with the core HCI philosophy."

Had a great time at @opensuse Conference 2025 in Nuremberg! A highlight was the hands-on workshop by @tropicsquar, showcasing #TROPIC01 — the first open and auditable secure element. A big step for verifiable hardware #security in #Linux systems, edge devices & secure infrastructure.

Thanks to the Tropic Square team for the great session and the devkit

My PR to the #EconML #PyWhy #opensource #causalai project was merged! 🎉 I made a small contribution by allowing a flexible choice of evaluation metric for scoring both the first stage and final stage models in Double Machine Learning (#DML). Before, only the mean square error (MSE) was implemented. But as an ML practitioner "in the trenches" I have found that MSE is hard to interpret and compare across models. My new functions allow that 🙂 #CausalInference #machinelearning #datascience
