"... 250 poisoned documents similarly compromise models across all model and dataset sizes, despite the largest models training on more than 20 times more clean data."

For @commonhaus.org's 2nd birthday, I revisited the foundation for @thenewstack.io. [1/3]
SDKMan is a handy tool, but some usability tweaks would be much appreciated:
- Make the "java" argument optional, if the version is unambiguous (`sdk use tem-21.10` rather than `sdk use java tem-21.10`)
- If I say "use xxx" and it's not installed, don't just die, offer to install it then proceed

With @geoand86.bsky.social, we have been busy integrating Project Leyden into Quarkus and improving startup time. This is the first of two blog posts presenting this work. Feedback welcome!
We'll be shredding at Voxxed Days Zürich!

“Java is the new Python” sounds wrong until you remove the ceremony.
JBang + Java 21 finally give Java a scripting workflow without giving up types, concurrency, or performance.
This isn’t a language war. It’s a tooling wake-up call.

Open infrastructure is not free. And it’s starting to crack.
Every pip install,, mvn install, gradle build, cargo build depends on shared infrastructure that is:
- underfunded
- overstretched
- treated as “someone else’s problem”

What do we need to make 2026 successful Year of Java in the Terminal?
A Java CLI testing framework!
It is a true coincidence that CLI Assured was born in Dec 2025
Let's code and test Java CLI apps!

Why Java is the real production language for AI.
Python is ideal for experiments, but enterprise AI needs predictable concurrency, type safety, and stable runtimes. Java already gives us that, plus native performance through ONNX Runtime and Project Panama.

The "sanctions" against heads of European NGOs for simply doing there job under the law on #HateSpeech (where much was outsourced by the industry to "trusted flagers" and alike) is another level and is obviously very close to home @noyb.eu. It's urgent to support your local Digital Rights NGOs.
I was also surprised nothing like CLI Assured existed yet. I had to write such helpers several times already.
I actually created CLI Assured to be able to test installing and running camel JBang app

CLI Assured 0.0.1-alpha6 brings some syntactic sugar for fans of Behavior-Driven (Given-When-Then) testing github.com/l2x6/cli-ass...
CLI Assured is a Java DSL for testing Command line programs. New in release 0.0.1-alpha3:
• Line assertions do not require caching the whole output, so large stdout won't lead to an OutOfMemoryError
• New kinds of assertions for lines, number of bytes, exit codes, etc.
1/9 It sounds like a cliché 🙄, but software features are like the imaginary iceberg. Only a small part is the initial contribution, which is easily visible from a distance. But most of it is the hidden part of the ongoing maintenance.

Final Call!
The CFP is still open until December 1 at midnight.
If you have a strong topic in frontend, backend, data, AI, or anything in between, we’d love to see it.
