The @lvaces.bsky.social had to work for that #wnbda A'ja Wilson with 35 points!

Who’s your favorite Jedi? (Wrong answers only)

I do genuinely believe there is value and utility in LLMs, but... We have lost the plot when people think the best way to communicate to each other is to ask an LLM to summarize a chat and blindly share the conclusion without critical thought or analysis. What are we doing?

Achievement unlocked: I have ridden a bicycle with square wheels. This is from earlier this week at our department's "block party" for our majors and interested students. I'm proud (and a bit intimidated TBH) to work in the same department as Stan Wagon, the […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

omg I sent in my logs and they (@jb.evain.net) figured out the bug. Searching in the solution explorer search bar (which I do a lot) leaves a listener dangling each time, slowing down the show all files button more and more with each search. Love a team that can actually figure out their bugs. <3

The #Lynx collapsed in the 4th quarter :( #wnba

mmm, this is actually good idea. Gonna start on Monday.

Big news! Copilot Chat in Visual Studio just crowned my work the most comprehensive, actionable, and valuable .NET performance benchmark suite anywhere. I’ll take it! @dot.net @visualstudio.com #dotnet

It's gonna be fun watching the supreme court argue that the next president does not have the right to unilaterally undo tariffs.

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

It's even more depressing when you think about the transformative impact that kind of investment could have had on renewable energy or healthcare or any number of things that could make society better off.

What's funny is that someone could come out of left field with a completely different way of doing this (say, trinary processor chips and a different algorithm) and they'd be suddenly left holding the bag

Microsoft invested $13B in OpenAI. SoftBank and Oracle threw in $600B earlier this year. Now Nvidia drops another $100B. Somewhere along the way someone decided the path to success costs more than the GDP of 175 sovereign nation states.

Spent the whole day chasing a bug, only to find out it was just a bad redirect in C++🤦‍♂️. At least I learned you can debug pretty much anything with Visual Studio. #gamedev #cpp

We don't say often enough that moguls who support Trump are stupid marks who are being played for chumps, and it's obvious to anyone with two brain cells. That's a point that's worth making in any factual, objective look at their context. www.anildash.com/2025/09/09/h...

"Ohio Bill Would Require Watermarks on AI Imagery" How exactly does a state enforce this? 🤔 "...it could place restrictions on a consumer's legal uses of a product, or it could place restrictions on what type of functions a producer's product can actually produce." www.govtech.com/artificial-i...

I have yet to book my hotel for the MVP summit, it could be fun to book one where a bunch of other MVPs will be staying, which would make carpooling easier. I'm open to suggestions!

Miss Wilson went for 38! #wnba

The Storm are putting a lot pressure on the @lvaces.bsky.social I had the #Aces winning it all :( #wnba

Watching Jason and the Argonauts, this has not aged well. I found the scene with the skeleton soldiers (from the hydra teeth) terrifying when I was child.

#Lynx looked shaky at the end, but the come back was great #wnba

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Gotta say that in other news - I’m really enjoying the new #vs2026 insiders version. Not one crash and now it’s my primary IDE . Seems snappier and cleaner. Great job #VisualStudio team. And shout out to #SSMS team! V21 is breath of fresh air.
