Disappointed to learn an AI Sommelier is a program that helps you pick wine and not a well dressed person who help you pair an LLM model with the tasks you need to complete. #ai #llm #Sommelier

"...operational fusion plant to the European grid by the 2030s. If things proceed as planned, the power plant, Stellaris, would be the first of its kind to generate net energy gain for both commercial and research purposes." #FusionPower #GreenEnergy

The Oscars needs a "best first time screenplay written on a MacBook at a coffee shop by someone who refused to give up" category.

Baseball hand signal or Italian hand gesture? At the World Baseball Classic you can't be 100% sure. #WBC2026 #baseball

Zamboni simulation. Perfect to pass the time while you wait for Team USA Olympic Hockey to start. #Olympics #Zamboni

The Winter Olympics are in Italy. They should be handing the winners blocks of cheese. bread and soppressata rather than plush animal toys and flowers. The athletes look hungry. #Olympics

I will be attempting to have a slice in all five Boros on May 9th, traveling by bike. #bikenyc

"Renewables’ share of electrical generation is now second to only that of natural gas, whose electrical output actually dropped by 3.7% during the first 11 months of 2025." This is amazing. #greenenergy

I wish them luck but I do not think this is not going to work. The LLM code translations are just barely able to convert code above the function level and the code created is difficult to read and maintain.

Spinal Tap did to rock and roll documentaries what Blazing Saddles did to Westerns. It dismantled all the stale tropes and forced every film maker after to up their game or look like self parody. #robreiner

One of the few bits of native forest left in the New York area. #ProspectPark

I'm ok with vinyl and film being called "retro" but not DVDs. They were new when I already old enough to vote. #retrotech

The final #F1 race of the season is this weekend and we will not know who wins the championship until we see which McLaren Max collides with in turn one. #formula1

They remade the Holga camera and made it look more like the Diana. #photography

I have two invites to the digg beta. If you want one, just let me know. #digg

JPEG XL sounds like it makes images bigger rather than smaller. #webdev

Are most AI startups are just wrappers? This is worth reading. #ai

It's 2025 and everyone uses smartphones. If you are making people download a PDF to look at your menu you are annoying your customers. Pretty sure I've been complaining about this for over a decade at this point.

Just signed up for the beta of the new digg.com Still to early to review. #digg

Dodgers Jays felt like a 27 game series #WorldSeries

Last night's dodgers/blue jays game went 18 innings so it should count as two wins for the dodgers. #worldseries #dodgers

TLDR; LLMs work well enough for small changes, like adding a small feature but fail spectacularly for large problems. They create hard to maintain output. You can't refactor a pig from sausage. Once you have the sausage, you're stuck with it. #llm #ai #…

Spam on linkedin is its own special kind of awful. #linkedin

The Oatmeal on AI art. This is the best take on why AI Slop is so clear to identify as Slop. #ai #art

Renewable energy growth in the EU is impressive. #greenenergy

SciAm usually does a good job explaining things but this is just so exceptionally well done I feel a need to boost it. #SciAm #fusionpower #greenenergy

Stack Overflow has an LLM powered search tool. So far, it looks to be as good as Google Search at returning code snippets. #llm #stackoverflow #ai

Gemini custom command to rename files based on contents. This is great for PDF files with cryptic names. #Gemini

If you've been disappointed by LLM assisted coding, you might find this conversation with my old boss from the NY Fed interesting. We discuss context engineering as a way to improve the experience. #llm #ai #contextengineering

NYNEX phone equipment is still around! #nyc

This is the first Springsteen song to use an em-dash and a "however....but" clause in the chorus. #TheHardTimes

The idea behind Spec coding is that if you can write user stories with functional and non-functional requirements you should be able to prompt an LLM to create an app for you. #ai #llm #gemini #python

GM Engineers managed to squeeze 1000 miles out of a Silverado EV's battery. They picked an optimum energy conservation strategy that is impractical in the real world. #electricvehicle

"World’s longest suspension bridge: Italy approves $15.6 billion connection to Sicily" If this had a bike lane, I would love to ride across it. #engineering

This doesn't sound good.

I found myself getting dates between two dates by using sql date() subtraction because it was already open in a shell. #calculator

This was a niche site but there really isn't anything like it. Sharing code via a gist on github or a jupyter notebook isn't really the same.

I watched a clip of Sabrina Carpenter performing with Duran Duran and I'm pretty sure that if Simon Le Bon cut himself shaving botox would ooze out.

Annual reminder. Your phone does a bad job photographing fireworks. Just enjoy the show. #july4th
