Across social media and the Al industry, people immediately began to challenge Altman's claim. Why, they asked, would the Pentagon suddenly agree to the red lines that it had said — in no uncertain terms — that it would never do so? The answer, sources told The Verge, is that the Pentagon didn't budge. OpenAl agreed to follow laws that have allowed for mass surveillance in the past, while insisting they protect its red lines. One source familiar with the Pentagon's negotiations with Al companies confirmed that OpenAl's deal is much softer than the one Anthropic was pushing for, thanks largely to three words: "any lawful use." In negotiations, the person said, the Pentagon wouldn't back down on its desire to collect and analyze bulk data on Americans. If you look line-by-line at the OpenAl terms, the source said, every aspect of it boils down to: If it's technically legal, then the US military can use OpenAl's technology to carry it out. And over the past decades, the US government has stretched the definition of "technically legal" to cover sweeping mass surveillance programs - and more.

Good thread. OSS at most companies is really just a handful of dedicated individuals that the company loves to advertise but constantly threatens
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
I mean, yeah that's always part of it. Big tech companies have been upset ever since the hot labor market during covid.

Metro 0.11.0 is out now, along with a new proposal system called MEEPs!
www.zacsweers.dev/metro-0-11-0...
Release: github.com/ZacSweers/me...
Android developer registration starts some time next month - expect to hear a lot more from the groups trying to oppose it over the coming weeks
You're talking specifically about Koin wrt a section that is not specifically about Koin :). Rather, it's about service locators pitfalls general. But, Koin's own docs show an extensive amount of use of its own test harnesses: insert-koin.io/docs/referen.... Your way doesn't appear to be the default
TIL! Will edit

A screenshot of the KotlinConf schedule with my talk "Metro Under the Hood". Description: Metro is, first and foremost, a multiplatform dependency injection framework. It’s also an advanced and complex Kotlin compiler plugin. In this talk, we’ll go under the hood and learn how much of Metro’s magic works in the compiler and what kind of code it’s generating. This is an advanced talk and assumes familiarity with DI frameworks like Metro, Dagger, etc. You don’t need to be familiar with compiler plugins, but we will be getting into the nitty gritty so come ready to learn!
Excited to be speaking at KotlinConf again, this time about how Metro's features work under the hood!
one of those things you need to watch if for no other reason than the trump administration doesn't want you to:
Every time I see a post like this I go ask a developer I know at that company if it's true and every single time it's misleading at best, if not outright horse shit.

Ah nice
Vibe coded a little CLI + wrapper github action to auto-delete bluesky/mastodon posts/reposts/likes. Idea is that you can stick this in a github actions cron workflow and let it periodically run+delete posts beyond a configurable horizon. Supports keep lists too.

you're hung up on the technical bits when my point is that android developers don't get as much opportunity to iterate on a product feature. The technical side is the medium
“the UI framework is mediocre” is a pretty hot take

Like 75% of the time that I use one of these I regret not just doing it myself. Clearly being steered toward "green build at all costs" this time around too, which is such a risky success metric for a tool like this.
