Let's just say they are pretending to be helpful, how about that?

> "Peer review"

no unless your "peers" are bots who regurgitate LLM slop.

You think they lied about reproducing the issue? It’s useful to know if a bug can be reproduced.

The laat comment is a person pretending to be a maintainer of Microsoft. I have a gut feeling that these kind of people will only increase, and we'll have vibe engineers scouring popular repositories to ""contribute"" (note that the suggested fix is vague).

I completely understand why some projects are in whitelist-contributors-only mode. It's becoming a mess.

No where in the comment do they assert they are work for Microsoft.

This is a peer-review.

Last night I was debugging a website where some users, some times were getting a message that they were attempting to sign up too many times, even when they only had tried to sign-up once.

I tried using LLMs to help debug at different points, but they went in circles on bad ideas, even when I gave them what turned out to be a correct clue.

Root cause turned out to be that IPv6 wasn't enabled for Docker networking, but was enabled for the websites DNS. So people who connected over IPv6 were getting their IPs all converted to the same internal Docker IP before being handed to the per-IP throttling algorithm.

I spotted that there were no IPv6 IPs in the logs, but the LLMs missed that the key pattern was the absence of something expected, instead drawing wrong conclusions.

So no, I'm not about to turn OpenClaw loose on building anything at all complex.

A friend of mine who was cycling in his 60s got hit by a driver in his 80s, taking his regular route to church, but apparently not very observantly. The cyclist was thankfully able to recover.

The shift from male to female is fascinating. In younger drivers accidents are disproportionately male, I guess due to high testosterone buffoonery but in older drivers it's disproportionately female. My personal observation is that older male drivers are much more slow and less confident whereas females tend to be overly confident and driving way too fast, especially the ones in huge cars.

According to this women become more dangerous than male 17-24 year old drivers only when they reach 80+ whereas for men they only become more dangerous than female 17-24 year old drivers at 86+.

I actually think more should be done about younger drivers than older.

One reason there are more females in accidents at the oldest ages is because the males are dead. In the UK, the average life expectancy for a female is 82.9 vs 77.9 for men, a 5-year gap.

That is a nicely designed DGGS, a lot of attention paid to the details. I hadn't seen it before.

There are some competing grid systems with similar features and benefits as well.

Notably A5, which has the property that each cell covers exactly the same area, even when stretched towards the north and south pole. Useful for certain spatial analysis where you need every cell to have the same size.

I'm no MS lover, but this is the same guy that increased the MS share price tenfold.

Same guy who touted Microsoft's progress on climate goals, then went all-in on AI.

For PBP2027 you have all of 2026, as well as 2027 leading up to registration, to complete the required BRMs.

I'm riding my qualifying 300k tomorrow!

I'm sure the MigrationWiz guys will appreciate your name.

I also can't imagine there is much demand for IMAP only email migration services these days.

I'm working on one this week, from a cPanel-hosted email to Google Workspace. There are probably still quite a number this category will still be happening.

Then there's all the people who want to exit Big Tech or US-based companies right now.
