Hamuko··on Paramount Skydance has completed its $111B merger with Warner Bros. Discovery
Seems to me that these companies will say pretty much whatever during the merger process, and as long as there's no concrete repercussions written down somewhere, just do whatever since it's much harder to break a company apart than it is to block a merger.
Hamuko··on Google Accused of Felling 300 Hectares of Forest for a Finnish Data Centre
They've been made to stop development work by the authorities now.
Hamuko··on Finland orders halt to work on two Google data centres
The timeline is that Tuike Finland (Google) started clearing in March, then April 30th they requested the supervisory agency (LVV) if they can be exempted from the environment impact assessment at this point, and on May 22nd LVV responded that they do not see a reason to grant them a case-by-case decision on the matter, requiring them to perform the assessment. They also emphasised that clearing over 200 hectares, the threshold for performing the assessment is met and the project is subject to perform the assessment. However, satellite data suggests that the clearance continued until sometime in August.

Do they have cameras and recording?

Get data from Claude. That's what the Chinese (allegedly) do.
Hamuko··on Accept 'bad things' in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman
I'll consider it when Sam starts accepting getting Molotov cocktails thrown at his house. Surely we all need to accept bad things, right?
Hamuko··on Denmark data breach exposes 8.8M people's personal data
Whether or not that data exists to be leaked is entirely within my control though.

I’m never going to a therapist after one company leaked all of the patient data / therapy notes for 33k patients.
Hamuko··on Sales of sub-€25,000 electric car models set to rise sevenfold
Cars sold in China have 13% VAT. Cars sold in Germany have 19% VAT. Cars sold in the Nordics have ≥25% VAT. Even ignoring shipping, tariffs, local salaries, non-VAT car taxes, etc., there’s no way to price a car the same in China as in EU.
Hamuko··on Sales of sub-€25,000 electric car models set to rise sevenfold
I can assure you that a $50k car in the US is nowhere near 44k€ in Europe. You're lucky if it's below 54k€.
Hamuko··on Sales of sub-€25,000 electric car models set to rise sevenfold
BYD still has some work left to do then since the Volkswagen ID.Polo is 26 390 €. The ID.Polo is also considerably prettier than the Dolphin Surf, so it probably needs a bigger price cut to get customers.
Hamuko··on Sales of sub-€25,000 electric car models set to rise sevenfold
Volkswagen Golf starts at 32 706 € here. BYD Dolphin Surf, the cheapest car BYD offers, starts at 24 590 €.
Hamuko··on I quit OpenAI because its culture is broken
>Society doesn't allow dangerous companies to operate or exist.

Philip Morris International? Monsanto? DuPont?

Hamuko··on The last time my family was replaced by technology
Everyone wants seniors, nobody wants to train juniors.

I imagine this is gonna continue to be true, except that "everyone wants consumers, nobody wants to employ people".

Any more than the four-door full-size pickup truck that is the Cybertruck?

Hamuko··on Backblaze drive stats for Q2 2026
Speeds do go up with density. Take an empty 4 TB drive and an empty 16 TB drive, and then write and read 2 TB of data to both of them. Since the platters on the 16 TB one are that much denser, you go over a lot more blocks in a single spin than the 4 TB one.
Hamuko··on Backblaze drive stats for Q2 2026
My worst one was a 8 TB Seagate IronWolf from Amazon. Bought at the same time as an 8 TB WD Red, as I wanted to spread the risk. The WD is still running about six years later, but the IronWolf died in less than 1.5 years. Thankfully Amazon gave me a full refund, so I threw in a shucked 12 TB WD Elements that's now been running for about five years.
Hamuko··on macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess
I use the "Switch to Desktop N" keyboard shortcuts for Mission Control, bound to Ctrl + 1–4, and those shortcuts constantly break in Golden Gate. Usually it only allows me to do Ctrl + 1 for the first desktop, and 2–4 do nothing.

Thankfully you can fix them by running `killall Dock`, until they break again an hour later.

Hamuko··on There is more to code review than (automatable) detection
People in my team are generating long and verbose PR descriptions with AI. No idea why and for whom. I certainly never read any of them.
Hamuko··on Rails World 2026 Opening Keynote [video]
>His business could never afford to have a dev team that built and supported six different native apps

I have a hard time believing that, considering his hobby of racing cars and commissioning one-off hypercars. Unless it's that his business could never afford that dev team after DHH takes his salary.

How many hacking lawsuits are they currently in? And are they also settling all copyright claims too?

I’m assuming they’re telling their victims to go pound some dirt, if at all.
