an immediate Fable 5 open-source release is the only way to preserve human freedom liberty, and democratic values. i am 100% serious about this. they have to get it onto BitTorrent before the feds make them delete it
DID YOU KNOW that Toyota has open-sourced a Confluence page to Markdown converter? psssssssst: it's written in Rust
and that -- unlike a simple export, it keeps PlantUML and draw[.]io content editable and outputs in a structure thatβs easy for generative AI to understand

Every time someone ends a meeting with "I'll give you a few minutes back," I deposit those minutes into an interest-bearing account. Today I hit meeting Coast FIRE. I can decline every meeting from now on and still retire on time.
Hmm, talking about something that only a small percentage of humans would understand turns out to be a great way to expose bots posting AI-generated replies. Unlike humans (some humans, at least), they don't know when they don't know something.
this is not meant to be bleak, but empowering with the right mindset:
as an adult it is very rare for somebody to come save you from a situation
you're pretty much on your own; you're the captain of your own ship
if someone is willing to stick their neck out, return the favor if able
I asked Claude to investigate some behavior I'd noticed it having recently, and it came back with:
πΈ πππππππππ ππππ ππ πππ ππππππππππ ππππππ πΈ.π·.π·π»πΏ ππππππ’
I... didn't expect Claude to decompile itself π₯Ή

I translated and self-published the Hungarian version because no Hungarian publisher was interested in doing so - oh well! In doing so, I realized no similar book had been translated to Hungarian for at least 20 years, and this also meant the "modern tech vocabulary" was not captured in any book, up to this one. E.g. what "pull request" or "deploy to production" or "idempotency" is in Hungarian.
I got massive help from academic staff at my alumni, Budapest University of Technology and Economics - thank you! I understand the book will be recommended reading for the Software Engineering course from the next semester - which is incredible!
I ordered one pancake in America. The waitress wrote it down and said, "one short stack."
Short. I am a small and humble man. A short stack sounded perfect for me. I waited with a calm heart.
She returned carrying three pancakes, each the size of my face, stacked into a tower, with a block of butter on top sliding down the sides like slow lava.
This was the short one. I did not dare ask what the tall one looked like. Some knowledge a man is not ready for.
I ate for forty minutes. I was not full. I was afraid. The tower did not shrink. I am fairly sure it was growing back faster than I could eat it.
I had to surrender. I left half. In Japan, leaving food is a deep shame. So I leaned in close and apologized to the pancakes directly, in a low voice, one by one.
The waitress asked if I wanted a box. I did not know food could be taken into custody. I declined. I did not want it following me home.
In America, is the short stack truly the small one?
I need time to prepare my spirit before I ever face the tall one.
was great to have Christof Petig of Aptiv share how ideas like WASI, the Component Model, and WebAssembly Interface Types have their place in the Automotive industry =)
when working to get interoperability smoothly between C , @rustlang, and other languages it fits!

so -- Christof Petig of Aptiv will come out today to chat about an idea he's worked on for the past several years of using WebAssembly as the bridge between C <=> Rust interop
interested to learn more? check out the .ics page down below! starts in 2.5 hours :)

in the AUTOSAR Consortium, Christof has made all C APIs in the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform (AP) callable now from Rust and has put together a demonstrator for it.
also -- Christof has done a lot of work on this, upstream in the Bytecode Alliance to enable this, where he also serves on the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) as an Elected Delegate.
