A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

Apparently agents do well with OCaml gertlabs.com/blog/llm-per...

Realised today why my Finder was consuming 1GB of memory... I had accumulated ~2000 screenshots on my desktop... After deleting those it's down to 476MB Which is better, but still stupidly much

OMG too real

Amazing, "evenings and weekends" is exactly my usage pattern LOL support.claude.com/en/articles/... > We're offering a limited-time promotion that doubles usage limits for Claude users outside 8 AM-2 PM ET / 5-11 AM PT / 12-6 PM GMT on weekdays.

github copilot is the perfect tool for when you've run out of tokens in claude code

So I caved and got a Claude subscription... It's been a manic 2 week binge of finishing off old abandoned side-projects, and starting new ones Probably the most potentially useful one to see the light of day so far is: pypi.org/project/fake... It's a provider for joke2k's Faker fake data lib.

Q: What encoding are you using? A: Base40000BC www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

imagine if the @circleci.com CLI could actually fetch details of your remote workflow runs (like GH actions `gh run list` does) I find myself using the latter all the time for quick agentic help I guess there's probably a heavyweight MCP server somewhere that I'm supposed to install and run

Essential claude code settings.json... ``` "spinnerVerbs": { "mode": "replace", "verbs": ["Thinking", "Working"] } ``` (I don't know why it irritated me so much to see the agent "Frobulating..." etc)

another day... another yak to vibe-shave...

We are at a weird point where people feel insecure about their skills due to the rise of AI, so the new flex is how much you are overusing AI. At the end of the day, the question is how much more money you are making or saving by using AI, not how much you’re paying Anthropic for Claude Code tokens

The Room Next Door - Donald Trump and the New Guy Only on YouTube.

VS Code Copilot chat has so many bugs you can tell they're definitely 'dogfooding' it...

CloudFormation has been deploying my RDS instance for so long I feel like maybe someone at the data centre has had to nip out and buy a new server to run it...

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines. We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

Just in case you are curious - and my God you should be - about the dude Wes Streeting and others are handing loads of public data contracts to. 👇

I just don't understand the point of Instagram "stories" and the interface is baffling and stupid

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

@unikraft.com I'm not seeing a separate price for "volumes" here unikraft.com/pricing does it come under one of the other headings?

I'm ecstatic!

AFAICT Amazon Q is completely useless

make YOUR difference!

Someone on the GMTK Discord shared a great hack: Google doesn’t show AI summaries if your query contains swear words.

anyone else get emoji anxiety...? so many times all the options just seem either psychotic or flirty when I really just want a slight wry amusement or something

So this week, Palantir told me I was banned from its booth at a tech conference (didn’t give a reason) & threatened to call the cops if I came back In recent days, Palantir has been increasingly defensive toward multiple journalists and perceived critics: www.wired.com/story/palant...

asked ChatGPT for help writing a new promo bio for my band... I'm getting the uncanny (and plausible) feeling that it has seen my current bio already, there's bits I didn't prompt it with that seem rather familiar end result is not bad TBH... just have to replace all the em dashes...!

Important polling evidence. Confirms previous census-based analysis that deprivation is a clearer driver of social distrust than is diversity. In fact, diverse areas have *higher* feelings of social cohesion and that people get along locally (once controlling for deprivation)

how have policy makers and regulators allowed a systematic, large scale shift towards less safe car designs? is there an analogue in another field of day to day mass public safety?

"The decline of British Steel didn’t happen overnight." Our @elliemclaughlin.bsky.social argues in Edie today that a National Wealth Fund with real power could prevent the collapse of more vital industries by providing public investment *with* strings attached. www.edie.net/british...

Yeah... I've always thought the UK gets too much sun...

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

Oooh, MirageOS+unikraft PR has appeared from @tarides.com, which should allow much easier deployment of OCaml code to the @unikraft.cloud ! github.com/ocaml/opam-r...

ChatGPT doing "deep" research... Wat?

AGI is coming for all of us. It will write symphonies, direct movies, and author the best novels. The only thing it won’t be able to do is VC investing, which must be reserved as a task only for the most-special people

Satire is dead because this is actually a better articulated defense of Trump's terrible first 100 days than his interview with Terry Moran.

A small issue in Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL: at the "Repeatable Read” isolation level, which in PostgreSQL normally means Snapshot Isolation, Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL clusters appear to exhibit Long Fork. We observed this behavior in healthy clusters, in versions ranging from 13.15 to 17.4 […]

You can pay the president of the United States directly in crypto and he’ll have dinner with you if you’re a top spender. I remember when Americans used to tell me Nigeria was the most corrupt country in the world. 🤣

'It was...Habermas’ mentor...Adorno, who wrote that the first step in that nation’s descent into hell was, and I quote, ‘the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power,”’ Gore said. “The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality.'

...but at what cost?

why am I still getting so much ice hockey

with repeated use of "Show less like this" I have almost got the "Furry anime" and "Canadian ice hockey gossip" posts in my Discover feed down to manageable levels... I don't know if they're just part of the general flavour of #bsky or a rogue signal crept into the algorithm from somewhere...?
