A contact just told me that my old "LLMs generate nonsense code" blog post from 2 years ago is now very outdated with GPT5 because it's so awesome and so helpful. So I asked him to give it a test for me, and asked it my favorite test question based on a use-case I had myself recently:

Without adding third-party dependencies, how can I compress a Data stream with zstd in Swift on an iPhone?

and here is the answer from ChatGPT 5: chatgpt.com/share/68968506-183

Very confident, very bold, even claims "Works on iOS 16+".

Problem with that: Just like any other LLM I've tested that provided similar responses, it is - excuse my language but I need to use it - absolute horseshit. No version of any Apple SDK ever supported or supports ZSTD (see developer.apple.com/documentat for a real piece of knowledge). It was never there. Not even in private code. Not even as a mention of "things we might do in the future" on some developer event. It fundamentally does not exist. It's completely made up nonsense.

This concludes all the testing for GPT5 I have to do. If a tool is able to actively mislead me this easy, which potentially results in me wasting significant amounts of time in trying to make something work that is guaranteed to never work, it's a useless tool. I don't like collaborating with chronic liars who aren't able to openly point out knowledge gaps, so I'm also not interested in burning resources for a LLM that does the same.

@ranja I think the term for a roommate who will call the cops over juvenile interpersonal disagreements or mild personal discomfort is "nightmare roommate", just in general.

leftist antisemitism 

It is honestly pathetic that leftist organizers are so scared of confronting the one loud antisemite in their movement that they will warp their entire worldview to fit their inaction. Fuck you.

You'd be a fucking strasserist by tomorrow in different times. Red brown alliance of apathy and awkwardness. No tears for you on the night of long knives.

damn they put fail2ban directly into sshd openssh.com/releasenotes.html#

sshd(8) will now identify situations where the session did not authenticate as expected. These conditions include when the client repeatedly attempted authentication unsucessfully (possibly indicating an attack against one or more accounts, e.g. password guessing), or when client behaviour caused sshd to crash (possibly indicating attempts to exploit bugs in sshd).

When such a condition is observed, sshd will record a penalty of some duration (e.g. 30 seconds) against the client's address. If this time is above a minimum configurable threshold, then all connections from the client address will be refused (along with any others in the same PerSourceNetBlockSize CIDR range) until the penalty expire.

fuck bigotry of all stripes in all circumstances

flagrant antisemitism on fedi 

Sidelining and minimizing the importance of antisemitism is antisemitic at any and all times you fucking assholes. Stop enabling and throwing up chaff for antisemites in your movements.

You are now telling us that the racists you hang out with are "irrelevant to the cause" and you'll be in the fucking Nazbol astolfo outfit the next time I see you in real life.

Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. A vital shift is underway in juicing. The Juicero is no longer optional. It's tomorrow's future, today. 40% of jobs are impacted by the Juicero. The Juicero isn't the future, it's a present necessity. Nobody hand-juices anymore. To hand-juice is like an impairment. Everyone must now focus on the delegation and the verification of a juice. We become less juice producers and more juice enablers. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. We are burning every forest and poisoning every river to produce more Juiceros. You will become obsolete if you don't get on the Juicero bandwagon. Students must not be taught how to hand-juice. 80% of jobs will be lost to the Juicero. Students must be taught to exclusively focus on how to collaborate with the Juicero. Education must focus on orchestrating agentic Juicero systems. The Juicero is inevitable. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. Adapt or risk becoming obsolete. As the Juicero rapidly advances toward automating up to 90% of juicing, the skills that will matter most include juice design, Juicero fluency, juice delegation, and juice quality assurance. 110% of jobs have been replaced by the Juicero.

cursed food poll (vegan, but throwing PETA a curveball) 

With the rise of 'impossible' imitation food meats I would like to pose a question for the public. If the following animal meats were available as plant-based vegan alternatives, where would you draw the line?

Vegan cow (impossible/beyond burger, ground plant beef, etc) included as a control. Select as many as you would be willing to eat. Please do not vote just to show results.
