Workshop on AI assistants at Jax London has started!

www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-flo... The video and polished transcription of my talk with Alberto about AI Assistants

My flow with AI assistants with @ramtop.bsky.social 🛜 Info When: Sept 25, from 13 pm (CEST) Join the Live Streaming! www.meetup.com/avanscoperta...

Trump’s priorities are Trump, Trump and Trump.

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

Already in love with my BigMe B7 A much better kindle, faster, sturdier, colour, with pen, decent sw for almost same price of a Paperwhite

I got tired of the nonsense some AI leaders were coming out with, and so I wrote this for @newscientist.com www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

suno.com/song/0f2e4ee... My daughter (10yo) composed this song with AI. Just hummed the lyrics and described the arrangement. Not bad at all!

folks are building lists of all the Tesla robotaxi failures, and it's important to remember that we're talking about a fleet of <20 vehicles, over three days, in one the smallest and easiest geofences possible, based on coverage from 100% fanboy influencers www.reddit.com/r/SelfDrivin...

Sam Altman: “A subsistence farmer from a thousand years ago would look at what many of us do and say we have fake jobs, just playing games to entertain ourselves.” Funnily enough, that’s exactly what my wife thinks about my job *today*.

My talk will start soon!

1. Because this issue is critical, but has received remarkably little coverage, here's a thread pulling out the key themes from my article yesterday, on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which puts decades of environmental protections to the torch. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In vibrcoding for sure!

Cherry blossoms 🌸

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

My flow with AI assistants is getting more and more refined and "standardized". I miss 2 features: - automatically save the prompt in the commit message (I rarely commit with more than one prompt) or in a separate file. - have an easy way to apply the same prompt to a set of files iteratively.

In honor of today's special event, Mattel has created a Pete Hegseth Commemorative Doll.

What did people think they were getting

This is so backwards thinking, it’s like someone made it up...but nope, it's real.

I remember it being unpleasant & a lot less fudge-y.

The "Agentic Workflow" is the new IFTTT. Good luck!

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

My favourite YA series currently running!

Like, I dunno folks, slavery and stealing land from natives was also pretty bad.

I've used a lot of LLM-powered assistants, and I'm not convinced that: - They are here to stay. - They will change how dev teams are organized and work. - They won't replace humans anytime soon. But they are not easy to use. 1/3

@antonarhipov.bsky.social is there a way to configure Junie to be able to run tests (or even any gradle command) without asking confirmation but not be able to run git or other shell commands? This is how far I trust LLMs. :)

After reading this great post www.oreilly.com/radar/the-en... I've bought the book on wages during industrial revolution by James Bessen

For me, the most incredible artefacts from the ancient world are the letters people wrote on clay tablets and sent to one another over thousands of years in Mesopotamia, going back to more than 5,000 years ago. They contain recognisable humanity, warmth and humour. Here's a thread of my favourites.

Trying to understand how to replicate the Dobble game I've spent evening hours learning about projective geometry.

I've started using @jetbrains.com Junie today, and I'm really impressed by the quality of the results. I would say that Cursor still has some margin on understanding the project but the UI and the reasoning approach of Junie is second to none. Great job! Should I blog about it or record a video?

After 6 months working with an external mouse because I thought the trackpad of my laptop was broken I've discovered that it was a gnome setting and this fixed it: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events 'enabled'

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

They need him to be a genius because they cannot handle what it means for them to be tricked by a fool.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

No notes

He should be our messenger.

Appearing today in The Week:

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

"Art Spiegelman ... noted that ... most of our cultural narratives about the atrocity are actually Christian in nature, because they see suffering as providing a path to moral enlightenment. .... our Holocaust memorial sites have become Christian sites of instant redemption."

Not bullshit

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.
