Silicon Valley accurately predicted the vibe coding era.

Russia fired over 400 drones and around 40 missiles at Ukraine overnight targeting energy infrastructure according to President Zelensky. Energy facilities were hit across eight regions along with homes and a school.

"That set process at MRC is to delete all Claire Francis emails and then fantasise about being victims of harassment." Full story below...

Absolutely fucking repulsive.

My favourite was the Glasgow taxi driver who told me he voted Brexit to bring back full employment on the Clyde.

My fav guy was a visitor from England and I'm grilling him for 30mins why he'd voted for Brexit. At the end he said: "We have to tank the British economy to tank the German one. -- Oh, and you have bad teeth!" (He was a dentist).

My boss vibe coded this over the weekend and now it’s my problem is going to be its own genre of developer complaints in the coming years.

"One kg of soil contained about seven kg of potassium". Something like that is only possible for British Empire Biscuits which contain about 1kg sugar in a 50g biscuit.

Kyiv. Morning after a massive russian attack. The district where we live is mostly without heating or electricity. According to the mayor, 1,170 residential high-rise buildings in Kyiv are without heat (we still have a minimal one, but no power). -19 °C outside. This is genocide.

If you liked Mr Nobody Against Putin or was astonished by the hostile environment the BBC's Russia editor, Steve Rosenberg is working in, you might as well like #TheGlobalJigsaw look into how Russian propaganda works: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w... And how we got there: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

Subscribing to the print edition of The Onion has literally helped keep me sane

Looks like that there are two Zhifeng Chen. One of them was one of the creators of Tensorflow. Now based at Apple and not TU Delft. But they share the same publications...

This is a great sketch. Not just Ashley Padilla's performance, which is perfect, but the writing as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wQh...

Strong "Sovereign Individual" vibes here. #brexit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sov...

striking results!

I wish I could be paid billions of literal dollars to ruin a business model so hard I need to pivot to "robots"

I think a lot about Parmy Olson's observation that AI companies actively push everyone to talk about existential risk, because it distracts from more prosaic current day concerns like copyright theft, conditions for data workers, energy & water use, and their financial situation

Tech journalists try googling the founder or talking to literally anyone with a clue before writing a breathless story about the latest bullshit challenge.

OTD in 1970 West Germany & USSR signed their 1st major gas deal. Less then 2 years after Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, it's part of 🇩🇪 gvt tradition of not caring that eastern Europeans live in dictatorships provided cheap fossil fuels flow. A the time FDR said...

incredibly funny how everyone spent a year hyperventilating about whether pizza with pepperoni was code for child rape when in reality actual emails between the pedophile cabal are like "i enoyjed molesting teen w yuo. haha"

This video is a fantastic example how left wing campaigning should be. I yearn the years back of real grassoots quirky videos here during the anti-brexit campaign. Nowadays it's mostly taken over by technocrats doing bone dry commentary. The inventive and quirky needs to come back here, too.

Time to remind of the the official Tankie guide to US-Iran war in 10 rules. 1. Being attacked by a nuclear power no longer means you should surrender immediately. That only applies if Russia attacks

Excellent deep dive into the @theguardian.com piece about microplastics which gets uglier and uglier the deeper one reaches into the toilet.

recorded a Windows 95 full disk defrag to soothe your timeline.

Kyiv tonight (and yesterday, and most likely, tomorrow). I film these dark moments to keep them in the pockets of my phone and memory. It wasn’t the best day. Beyond the darkness and cold, there were other things to face. Life doesn’t ask if you’ve had enough.

Stockholm, Warsaw & Helsinki as a result of NATO Power. Vovchansk as a result of Russian power. Proving the 2 sides are exactly the same

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

I hope our heroes at @springernature.com left all those tortured phrases in! "Approval misfortune" etc

Sorry, AI. Main Exam Board this afternoon. Nice to have met you. Goodbye: "sudo shutdown now".

Asked chatGPT about a code example for libgpiodv2. It didn't compile because that type doesn't exist. Pointed that out. Its response:

High school students using AI to write college application essays that are then graded by AI from admissions departments is a great example of how AI usage devalues systems while people can accurately point to “productivity gains” from using AI.

This is how not to write a headline. The story is that *the videos show agents killing an unarmed man.*

Yes the US has reached the ”nothing is true and everything is possible” stage. Refer to Russia for further information how it continues from there

see, the problem you have now is not just that you're part of a reviled gang of murdering coward thugs, it's that you have no actual cause with which to justify yourself you've chosen to serve people who believe in nothing beyond their own power, and made enemies of anyone who cares about anything

Board of Peace - Season 1

🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...

2026 Labour/Tories: "Being the same as Reform we can defeat Reform."

Saturday morning in Kyiv. I woke up to no heat, no water, no electricity. Switched on the EcoFlow, made warcoffee. No, they won’t break us.

And so it begins... 3 UK universities (Essex, Sussex & Kent) have just gone public about walking away from their Elsevier Read & Publish deals, despite Jisc's recently announced agreement. Expect to see more of these over the coming months. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/three-m... #OpenAccess

24% of people who voted Labour at the last general election now plan to vote Green or Lib Dem. 0% of those who voted Reform at the last election now plan to vote Labour.

Wed morning...

Yet another #IEEE Paper with tortured phrases (arxiv.org/abs/2107.0...). As I wrote in my recent essay, it is time we tackle these papers to keep our field trustworthy (doi.org/10.48550/arX...). The paper is accessible here: ieeexplore.ieee.org/... pubpeer.com/publicat...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
