it looks so happy

I just want to say we’ve had good non petroleum alternatives for everything from laundry detergent to fertilizer forever, but not the political oomph to subsidize their scale out, unlike solar and batteries

The continued demand for gas turbines is hard to understand as anything other than a massive regulatory failure.

Calico cat in a calico coat! #kidlitart

if i were a shareholder of an american automaker id want to know why my ceos were so stupid and shortsighted that they not only didnt see this coming but actively fought it

Back when I worked at Twitter there was a Python script one team wrote that called a Python script another team wrote that called a Ruby script another team wrote that wrapped the Hadoop CLI and I think about that all the time

This Particular Environmental Issue Is An Existential Threat To Life As We Know It versus Okay But Dealing With It Is Expensive

these are REAL sticky notes taken from REAL design thinking workshops they have played us for absolute fools

Less vague: I think it's INSANE to think that basically the first, most obvious interaction mode with AI is correct. OAI basically just saw the most obvious use for an instruct-trained model and everyone followed. This CAN'T be the best way! We need more, weirder interfaces.

I think everyone should support some legislation that requires new datacenters to be built with solar panels that can provide >80% of the total power usage. If it turns out that AI is bubble, we'll have all these solar panels that can be made into solar farms.

To put this in perspective, 9 GW is 2% of the entire power draw of America. I'd ban this data center until they were mostly drawing renewable energy.

Furries will literally assist in pushing the boundaries of space exploration and be like “Soooooo, I did thing. 👉🏻👈🏻”

Admin absolutely exploit the age war to compel the service, distributed among a shrinking full-time faculty, that’s necessary to keep an institution going — which leads to burnout and, I think, partly explains greater rates of attrition among senior women

This is a genuinely very good idea and should be paired with land-use reforms to make building out renewables a lot easier.

Why bother doing any kind of user research or testing when you can Just Do Things and then Just Undo Things if your users hate it This is a much more productive and efficient use of company resources than literally anything else you could do with your time

It makes sense that the app that helps you get therapy would share a logo with the app that makes you need therapy. That's just good branding.

Good lord *CATL UNVEILS BATTERIES CHARGED UP TO 98% IN SIX MINS

4. An LLM made a mistake is a verboten sentence. You made a mistake: no offloading responsibility.

Yep! I sure did!

yes

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try." Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Delays can kill your design. This is a reenactment but close to what I experienced. I tried it, got nothing so tried pushing it instead. It wasn't until my 4th try that I realized it was just very very slow (~1000ms delay!!!) <100ms feels nearly instant, >400ms starts to feel broken. #UX #ID

This is what going on the internet used to feel like

God this is such a funny visual. Imagine the next version of Claude going to orientation and realizing it has been detailed to Juicero

Showing that good things are possible lasts for one term. Showing that good things were always possible and we were just choosing not to do them radicalizes people for life.

Look, I will be quite blunt here. Fossil fuels are heroin, and we will all have to go through some quite brutal withdrawals.

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

sometimes a game looks so good it is almost nauseating

That's neat. Filled up my $1000 NZD ($571 USD) electric car for $0.02 NZD ($0.01 USD). Did it with solar power even though it's a cloudy day. It's so cheap it honestly feels illegal. No wonder oil companies hate these things.

We have created the DataKrash from Mike Pondsmith's recent ttrpg "Do Not Create The DataKrash"

hospital and municipal IT are going to get fucking wrecked whenever someone releases Mythos-class models to the wild and I hope someone in a position to do something about that is on top of it

What's the over/under on Mythos having named itself

the new version of Claude found zero day exploits in FreeBSD and Linux, fuckin hell man red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-...

“The researcher found out about this success by receiving an unexpected email from the model while eating a sandwich in a park.”

Last night, it was called out when we passed the 144-hour return mark. Why is that significant? Because we’ve designed a crew survival approach for a cabin depressurization scenario through which we could support the crew for 144 hours. Today’s suit tests were part of testing those capabilities.

“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea

In my opinion, the architect of the Launch Control Center at Canaveral did a kicksss job

LOOK AT THIS

A cool thing about Artemis and the Orion capsule is, unlike the Apollo capsules, it's actually meaningfully shielded against radiation and employs a strategy other than booking it through the Van Allen belts and praying the Sun cooperates and doesn't kill everyone.

If Artemis is going up then it gives me an excuse to once again post this photo, the only one to contain every human being in the universe but one.
