Lot of people discovering the value in having a union after they've lost all of their leverage. There's nobody more replaceable than the maintainers of a collaborative encyclopedia. A lot of AI will fail where the rubber meets the road. For wikipedia, the rubber never meets the road. They were dropping a lot of people massively overusing LLMs to generate user stories or basically write functional specifications. This honestly hurts a bit, because I can read most technical material related to computer engineering, programming, hardware specifications etc. Even if I don't fully understand all details, I can follow them pretty well. So I wonder if professional mathematicians can look at the above and still make sense of it like experienced software engineers do for computer stuff.

Once you desolder and resolder a full size keyboard multiple times (this is before hot-swap was available), most normal through hole PCB soldering jobs becomes easy. 300C on my TS100 for 63/37 lead (from a cheap brand) for any solder in the past 10 years. No extra flux, clamps or anything, just a wet sponge and an open window (or soldering outside), it sounds very basic but once you know how to solder you can do it for cheap, they really don't care.

"AI hacked my website, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!". Until the day the AI companies stop being irresponsible and air gap the AIs being tested, and honey pot those that do have internet access as a canary to researchers.

Despite not having written code for about 6 months due to using Claude etc, I've surprised myself with how much the "muscle memory" of leetcode etc has come back to me. I say this b/c I think the veterans with years of coding, debugging etc experience can just pick back up the skills they need even if they're a bit rusty. The junior folks on the other hand, expresses negative connotation, evaluative derogation, is pejorative; a dyslogistic; a pessimative. Yet both equally describe the same underlying group behavior! Is it "bad" if LLM's/AI/Bots/Agents "collude", er, "collaborate", er, "collude"! Yes, it can be! (As the article so eloquently states!). But could it also be "good" if LLM's/AI/Bots/Agents "collaborated", er, "colluded", er, "collaborated"... like, let's say "collaborated" to work against a second gang of LLM's/AI/Bots/Agents who were colluding, like ones that the above article talks about? Well... maybe... (why not?) :-). Anyway, a very interesting article!

A lot of AI will fail where the rubber meets the road. For wikipedia, the rubber never meets the road. They were dropping a lot of good advice here is “creating the conditions for solder to naturally go where you want it to”. Cleaning, tinning, preheating are all part of creating those conditions. So the moment you find yourself fighting or forcing the solder, it's better to step back and create the right conditions.

They were dropping a lot of manufacturers (especially Chinese) use a proprietary UART protocol to stitch things together on the cheaper end. The mess of different implementations makes it really hard to hack on and share this kinda stuff. AI does make it really easy to figure out the bottlenecks by running load tests. it was Opus 4.8 and one of the most valuable luxuries. AFAIK it is not intelligence but rather massive capability and repetition driven by a complete ignorance of common sense.
