td2··on OpenAI GPT–6 Astra breaks Enigma message that has resisted solution since 2005
Aktuell is a german word, but not for actually

Aktuell means current. Not sure if a exact german translation exist for that word. Tatsächlich maybe

td2··on We got admin access to Baseten's production GitHub
Germany isnt a serious country though Decompilng code is illegal there
td2··on λ Snap – An inviting programming language for kids and adults for CS study
How does this compare to blockly?
td2··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
But its normal, and good, that technologal progress creates, and destroys some jobs. Imagin a cheap, 100% reliable, self driving car would be released. Death from Traffic incidence fall by orders of magnitude

Would you argue it didnt benefit humanity, because taxi/bus drivers are nolonger required

td2··on YouTrackDB is a general-use object-oriented graph database
Isnt youtrackdb a odd name, if its intended as a general use db? Why link it that much to a specific known product?
td2··on 2026 Unslop AI-Written Fiction Contest Results
Or worse, what if the story of the game was already part of the training data

Like a remake of a game

td2··on LLMs Are Not a Higher Level of Abstraction
I mean if your talking about packets, your already one abstraction over the real data Transmission, in wich is noisy. So bits can randomly flip, noise could be interpreted as bits, and bits could get lost. A much larger blast radius
td2··on Windows quality update: Progress we've made since March
Sure, for many games Riot games / others with kernal level anticheats dont support linux sadly
td2··on Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"
Imagin i wanted to vibecode a claw machine. I might need a function called openClaw() to release the item. Perhaps im a huge microsoft fan, and use c# Now its OpenClaw()

And suddenly, unexplainably my bill would skyrocket?

td2··on Aliens.gov will be running as a WordPress multisite
The odds of water, being just at the right distance to the sun, etc i guess

Sure we dont know the chance of life emerging, the symbiotic relationship that provides power for cells, chance of multicells etc.

td2··on Aliens.gov will be running as a WordPress multisite
Do you actually believe that? And if yes, why? Just curious
td2··on German men 18-45 need military permit for extended stays abroad
But it can be compared to the relation us and canada currently have lol
td2··on German men 18-45 need military permit for extended stays abroad
I think comparing percentages inst quite fair, considering you have only two choices in the us, compared to the spectrum of choices un germany.
td2··on Functional programming accelerates agentic feature development
Wouldnt a fair counter argument be, that llms have been trained on way less fu ctional code though?

Like they are trained on a LOT of js code -> good at js Way less functional code -> worse performance?

td2··on I'm OK being left behind, thanks
The counterpoint is that you will learn jank.

If you started early webdev, you learned lots of tricks, that dont benefit a modern webdev. E.g soap, long polling, the JsonP workaround... and so on

Many of the Llm frameworks will be seen simular. Mcp is already kinda heading in the obsolete direction imo, as skills took over

td2··on Datasets for Reconstructing Visual Perception from Brain Data
Edit, reading the github description, which i should have done sooner, hints at dreams.
td2··on Datasets for Reconstructing Visual Perception from Brain Data
I dont know anything about neurosience But if dreaming is related enouth to visual perception, maybe a dream recorder might be somewhat possible
td2··on JavaScript engines zoo – Compare every JavaScript engine
Its cool, but is there any explenation how score is calculated?
td2··on Some Epstein file redactions are being undone
Tell me if im too conspiritorial. Wouldnt it makes sense to have bad censorship on information thats e.g a 8/10 on a guilty scala. And make sure the 10/10s stay censored? Let People assume they can uncensor some, and what they uncensor is representative for any censored information. While the parts that couldnt be uncensored are way worse?
td2··on We pwned X, Vercel, Cursor, and Discord through a supply-chain attack
It kinda is no? Discord uses mintlyfly. Minitlifly was vulnerable. And because they got access to mintlifly, discord was now also attackable
