TLDR: "Netherlands-based Oceanwide Expeditions said in a news release it was "managing a serious medical situation" on a polar expedition ship, the MV Hondius, which was off Cape Verde, an island nation in the Atlantic west of Africa."

I like what Ian Campbell (who is a Security ops engineer for DomainTools) said on Mastodon / Fediverse:

"Like every other Cloudflare service, this was likely designed to enable threat actors, amplify abusability, and reduce accountability."[1]

"I see Cloudflare's willful negligence and threat actor enablement every day."[2]

I've used whereby in the past on a free account, I've found it easy enough for anyone to use. I stopped using them because they now limit free accounts to 30 minute meetings.

At the bottom it says "This article originally appeared on BostonGlobe.com on April 20, 2026.". So, if someone prefers to skip substack, the article can be read at https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/20/opinion/ai-college-cl...

FYI: Be skeptical of Be Giant. As they are backed by the Weston family[1], which owns and runs Loblaws and Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada[2].

I've realized not to bet on any social media.

For example, pre-Elon Twitter, I thought Twitter was going to around a long time and I would continue to use it for many years. I left Twitter when Elon bought it.

While I'm on various social media sites now, I can fairly easily pick up a new one as I see fit. And if my audience doesn't want to follow me there, they don't have to. And I can find different people to follow on that new one.

You never know what is going to happen.

if you are always looking for new 'audiences' it's probably just media and not social media. I use hubs my peers and friends use. IRC, email and for the boomers - Facebook.

GrapheneOS also posted about it on their Mastodon / Fediverse account: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116261301913660830

FYI, HN guidelines state "Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity."

No, because as Jan Schaumann said "Starting to think the real risk is not AI replacing junior staff, but senior staff quitting because they just can’t take this AI bullshit any longer and just opt for early retirement."

This make sense to me. I didn't become a programmer for the $$$. I did it because I liked programming. If I no longer like what "programming" would become, I would no longer prefer to stay as a programmer by profession. I programmed before I ever became a professional, and I ll continue to do so even after that.

So If I stay in a programmer job, it would be because I don't have a choice financially. But if someone is already set for early retirement, I think it is an easy choice.

But I also think that there are a lot of people who are good at it even if they became programmers for the $$$...So I don't think there is a danger..

And what is senior staff going to do if they quit? As if your standard enterprise dev (where most developers work) made enough to retire early.

In my case, I am choosing to risk much smaller salaries, job anxiety and the pain of starting a new career from scratch rather than continue in software engineering. 20 years of professional experience, the few savings I have will go to buy a house in a lower-cost-of-living area in preparation of this huge life change (1+ years in the making)

Looking to get into solar/electrical engineering of some sort. The bonus is that I might return to enjoy coding for fun, without people reminding me every day that agentic is the future and I am being left behind. That and the state of hiring in this sector which is a hell of its own.

I think if this eventually happens, it would be a golden opportunity to hire the best talent at vastly reduces cost simply by giving such programmers a choice w.r.t LLM use.

Yes a company is going to put themselves at a disadvantage by moving slower than the rest of the industry or even being okay with an individual developer moving slower?

>Yes a company is going to put themselves at a disadvantage

Not sure if you are talking about the current situtation, or some hypothetical case where there is human like AI.

I am talking about the current situation.
