    From all available intelligence, no. They clearly have a nuclear weapons program (which are insanely huge to begin with) but there has never been a measured test, and no evidence of enriched uranium at a high enough purity to be weaponized.

    It’s insanely hard work to created weaponized enriched uranium. With the sanctions Iran has had for decades it would be next to impossible for them to get all the stuff they need to create it on their own.






  • Agile and AI rows look terribly optimistic.

    In my experience, Agile you get skateboard wheels. Then you get one pair of skateboard wheels on a bike frame (no handles, wheels, seat, or pedals). Then you get a skateboard next to a bike without wheels, then you get a car with no doors, no transmission, no engine, and no gas tank, a bike with flat tires, a broken skateboard. Next you have a car engine in the car, and windows (but no doors), a duct taped skateboard, but the bike has air in the tires, but the chain is now missing, and one pedal fell off. Then you get a good portion of the car, except you forgot to account for an accelerator or brakes, you now have a bike that works though, except with only one pedal.

    Finally you just end up putting the bike inside the car and it works almost Flintstone style. But you also have a new skateboard that is in pretty good shape.



  • It’s wild.

    I wish I started really lifting ages ago. But I didn’t have the protein intake to make it worth it.

    I have an autonomic dysfunction so I can’t always lift like I want to without passing out. But my arms don’t show the stretch marks from 100lbs ago as much anymore. I have some excess on my stomach still, but the general outline of abs.

    And the amount of effort it takes to move? Gone. I need better fitting clothes though, because everything is way too big now.

    I can’t say I have more energy, but sleeping is easier. Things hurt less.

    The biggest barrier to all of it? Food. Wegovy has fixed that so far for me, provided I stay with healthy eating it should be fine.

    But then it was the barrier of “how the fuck do I get muscle.” Turns out, you need protein to build muscle. I wasn’t getting nearly enough protein in my diet. One to two protein shakes a day, throw in some serious squats, and simple dumbbell work outs? Way stronger, way easier to work out too. Sure. It’s only half an hour every day. But it was 10 on average minutes 6 months ago.

    I’m walking a lot more. I can mow the lawn without passing out. My friend got me to throw in some creatine into my morning shake and damn yo, you literally get swole. Is it because I can lift more? Is it because it keeps water in the muscles? Idk, I don’t care. I feel great and think it will keep getting better.










  • It’s apparently a newly vocal (yet previously existing) trend amongst trans and drag programmers, particularly of the linux variety.

    I know of one transwoman and she doesn’t do this, though we do work for a “business formal” environment.

    Seems to be a bigger thing amongst the younger college CS and fresh out of college folk.

    I personally find it a bit funny, but I also have the small bit of me that worries about the social-political climate and how it might impact their careers.

    Amongst engineers I’ve still found an uncomfortable amount of conservatives. So even if they don’t support MAGA directly, I’d imagine they still carry a lot of that bias on “what is appropriate” or not.


  • So no joke, vibe coding has other real world equivalents.

    I always struggled to explain how my ex cooked because it was always a toss up if it ended well, but she was definitely a “vibe cook.”

    Recipe calls for searing? Fry it on a pan, flip it over fry it on the other side until cooked all the way through. Recipe calls for cream of potato? Cream of celery is fine. The only seasoning is pepper and salt? Eh, can’t hurt to use mixed seasoning salt used for burgers. Saute? Nah, just throw it in a pan.

    Braised? Broiled? It’s cooked.

    Ribs call for 18 hours on Low heat? 4 hours on high will do it.

    Vibe coding is a way to generate crap for people who are crap at coding and for users that are used to crap.


  • I guess where I’m sitting I’m not looking at those cars to go fast and turn left some times in.

    I just wanna drop my kid off in a car that would have caught my attention.

    Like all the doctor and business parents around here drive a Lexus NX or a Lincoln Corsair.

    But if I showed up with like an LC 500 or like even the new electric Challenger it would catch my attention. Not that I can afford either, but it’s fun to look at the numbers being just out of reach.
