The ultimate crux why LLMs can never be actually intelligent is this:

“…research shows language is not the same as intelligence. The entire AI bubble is built on ignoring it.”

https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/827820/large-language-models-ai-intelligence-neuroscience-problems

"But this theory is seriously scientifically flawed. LLMs are simply tools that emulate the communicative function of language, not the separate and distinct cognitive process of thinking and reasoning, no matter how many data centers we build."

Want to know what climate change will look like?

The drought in Tehran has gotten so bad that people are seriously talking about evacuating the city!

"Tehran — the richest city of Iran, the most politically powerful city with more than 15 million in the metropolitan — is facing day zero in a few days or a few weeks," said Kaveh Madani, director of the United Nations University's Institute for Water, Environment and Health.

"Day zero" means NO WATER.

All of Iran is in a drought — the worst in nearly 60 years. Tehran has had no rain at all since the start of September, and no rainfall is expected for the foreseeable future.

The city depends on five major reservoirs for its water: Lar, Latyan, Amir Kabir, Mamlu and Talegan. Lar Dam is at only 2% of its capacity, while Latyan is 9% full. Amir Kabir, one of the most important dams for Tehran, is 11% full. Mamlu reservoir is only 1% full. Only Taleqan remains above one-third.

Right now the incompetent government is *talking* about rationing — but water pressure is already down to zero at night in many neighborhoods. Young Tehranis are tracking water pressure with crowd-sourced maps , shading parts of the city in red to show almost constant outages. Meanwhile, some rich neighborhoods still fill their swimming pools.

I'm not saying this drought is solely due to climate change, nor that climate change will cause droughts everywhere. But this is the sort of thing we should expect: prolonged droughts in some areas, leading eventually to mass migrations.

So I have a funny story related to this. Well, not so much funny, as the future refused to change moment.

When I was younger and I was actually trying to make a difference, I worked with some talented individuals. Back when google's advanced searching still worked, wasn't ass, and was actually reasonable about captcha-gating people, I learned how to query google for indexed FTP servers with anonymous access enabled.

- Summary: Replacing a €20 Netflix subscription, the author now funds three daily-use tools: Zed Pro (€10) for joyful coding, Kagi (€5) for ad-free search, and a Hetzner VPS (€4) to host a personal blog and learn by doing. The swap turns passive screen time into active hobby investment, ad-free productivity, and a public web presence.

What makes Kagi worth the cost:

"What does it for me is the simple fact of being able to pay directly for a service that I use, and value, rather than having to trade my attention in and endure a wall of ads."

Ah, yes, the riveting tale of someone who bravely canceled their Netflix subscription and discovered the groundbreaking revelation that they could spend $19.99 on *gasp* other things! 🎉🤯 Apparently, this is what passes for financial wizardry in 2025. Who knew? 🙄📉

Ah yes, the groundbreaking revelation that baby brains come with factory settings! Because we all needed a study to tell us that humans aren't born as blank slates 😏🧠. Next up: Water is wet! 🌊🔍

Evidence suggests early developing human brains are preconfigured with instructions for understanding the world

So, it is like software or firmware that comes with default instructions for building something useful using that app; however, here you can go on and build your own life with default set of instructions to understand the world. How cool is that? Can this info used to treat brain disorders? Can we fix bugs in the default instructions to improve life?

- Summary: UC Santa Cruz researchers grew human brain organoids from stem cells and recorded their earliest electrical signals, discovering that within months the neurons self-organize into the same “default-mode” firing patterns seen in mature resting brains. Because the lab-grown tissue never receives sensory input, the structured activity must arise from genetically encoded instructions, implying the brain is born with a primordial “operating system” for interpreting the world. The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, offer a new window into how neural architecture forms and could aid early diagnosis or treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders and toxin effects.

super excited to be able to talk about this now: my colleagues have developed constant-time presevation features for LLVM to ensure that optimisations don't negatively impact timing-sensitive code like cryptographic implementations. this is a huge step towards alleviating a decades-long standing thorn in the side of cryptographic implementations.

Yo, check this out.

This is great: https://blog.trailofbits.com/2025/11/25/constant-time-support-lands-in-llvm-protecting-cryptographic-code-at-the-compiler-level/

LLVM 21 (and presumably all the subsequent versions) now have a constant time select intrinsic to enable cryptography algorithms to tell the compiler exactly what they need (i.e., evaluate both sides of a conditional expression then select the one you want), replacing gross bit hacking expressions that newer optimizers would unravel.

The Future of Software Development is Software Developers - or why we won't be replaced by #ai anytime soon - by @jasongorman

For the foreseeable future, when it matters, there *will* be a software developer at the wheel. If Jevons is to be believed, probably *more* of us.

I'd start hiring now if you want to beat the stampede for the remaining skilled devs when reality sinks in.
