This is what happens when facts meet marketing hype.

All of this, and asking “what are we trying to achieve here?” a lot :-)

How to Lead in a Room Full of Experts idiallo.com/blog/how-to-... good reminder that leadership is not about having all the answers. It is about knowing what questions to ask and how to communicate across different perspectives.

First time making xiao long bao by myself. Bit of a marathon effort making everything from scratch, but despite the wonky shapes they turned out well. 5 hours of prep time, and all gone in 10 minutes 😋

I love having a chamber vacuum sealer because it allows me to re-seal things I rarely use in the kitchen, like flour. Thanks Anova for making a domestically-priced model! #cooking #sousvide

Lucky Inbox. Maybe there’s a message from a Nigerian Prince waiting for me?

The joy of sitting at the counter of a great #cocktail bar and talking to the staff about what _they_ would choose next. Valentin from L’Artchimiste in Lyon suggested a Champs-Élysée which I’d never heard of before, but hit the spot with its deep, dark, subtly spiced and quite herbaceous flavour.

Due to the UK’s new age verification law, I had been locked out of Bluesky DMs while in the UK for the last ~10 days. Now in the land of liberté 🇫🇷 and everything works again as it should. How is this UK law about protecting kids?? Feels a tad Orwellian… #freespeech

tldr humanity needs to engineer buildings around filtered air replacement rate and it's not even that dramatic but for dramatic results

#SAP folks: I'd appreciate your vote on this innovation idea to enable FX valuation at month end for multiple company codes at once, rather than executing one by one: influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/id... 🙏

Teamwork Sunday dinner with @jae28.bsky.social: reindeer fillet on celeriac purée with a smoked bacon & sage tartiflette and cranberry compote. What an end to the weekend!

You are underestimating the compounding awesomeness of continually fixing small broken things.

I guess the Paris public transport uses HTML as a layout? Or at least tries to?

Love it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Motherfucking wind farms…

@marekkowal.bsky.social Happy birthday! I hope you’re having a good day in sunny Queensland!

@grahamrobbo.yelcho.com.au Happy birthday! 🎉🍾

8 years cancer free, and thankful that $300 is all I need to spend on meds each year to keep me alive! Thank you Singapore medical system #fuckcancer

@troyhunt.com your speaking tour of southern Europe has made an impact; I’m having dinner in Lyon and two elderly ladies behind me are talking about the latest password dump in the news and “have I been p-w-n-ed dot com”!!

Let's get real.

This is a really smart UX idea and shows the joined up thinking and engineering at Monzo. Strong approve.

Shameful, truly. Also goes to show that Labour is just as guilty of environmental vandalism as the Libs.

Who's up for some petty kitchen-consumer snark?

Reading “Peter Dutton loses own seat of Dickson in Brisbane as Coalition suffers stunning collapse in support” is the best way to conclude a lovely day. Sayonara spudface! #australiavotes www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Very odd and worrying juxtaposition when looking for food shows on @netflix.com! Pangolins are not food!

#1 Google Nestling vs. Fledgling #2 If you find a nestling (little to no feathers) you can put them in a basket and give them back to mama and papa bird if you can’t get to their nest. The human smell thing is a myth. #birds

I found the most incredible graph on the other site

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.
 Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared. 
Life on this pale blue dot will be resilient - whether we’re part of it or not. #science #history

Too many people accept opinion as fact, or deem anyone capable of stringing together a complete sentence to be intelligent, which is why LLMs seem like a suitable replacement for the people around them.

I need to stop assuming that people have attained junior high school-level reading comprehension. :-\

Some savagely articulated truths, if you're in SAP tech space, a must read.

Always a worthy cause, and a trusted way of helping Ukrainians fighting to repel an invasion. Donate if you can.

Anti-vaccination is literally a eugenics project that is the actual stated goal it's to kill your unworthy children

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Withdrawing from the steak bank. Grass-fed Tasmanian Galiciana breed, 135-ish days of dry aging so far, and there’s enough left for a few more dinners. 😋

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you. Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

A thing I’ve been saying for a while but have not had a chance to write about is that Yahoo Pipes in 2007 (especially in combination with their related product YQL) could do a great deal of the “wow” stuff people want to attribute to GenAI. Much of the “breakthrough” isn’t LLMs but structured data.

Why Microgrids Are the Future of Energy Systems and Driving the Energy Transition As the global energy landscape shifts in response to the twin challenges of climate change and ageing infrastructure, microgrids are emerging as a critical solution. These self-contained energy systems, often powered…

It was a Nazi salute. Don't let anyone tell you it wasn't.
