Once again being reminded that moving house is one of the most challenging things one can do as a human. But on the bright side, I'm a home owner now 🙌

So this is what living in the UK will be like now, new high temperature records every year, until presumably the AMOC dies.

I often wonder whether a non-profit Uber or UberEats would actually work really well.

All these layoffs are so depressing. Seeing so many awesome people losing their jobs leaves me with so much sadness.

So I'm getting more and more hyped up about Gaussian Splats. I feel like there are some great games to be made using this new tech.

If I make up a programming language that doesn't exist, then give an LLM its docs, will it be able to write me a C compiler in the language I made up? Seems like this would be a pretty good test of an LLM's ability to reason.

So with Bun getting a rewrite to Rust, where does that leave Zig?

So with Spotify down I figured I’d give YouTube Music a try to listen to some podcasts. Has nobody considered it for that use case? Because ads that are 5 minutes long and which I cannot skip through car play is insane.

Well, this evening sure gave me a fright.

Must say, I am pretty impressed with Reolink security cameras. Setting them up to send email notifications with the video of the event has been pretty simple.

It's honestly kinda sad that supermarkets are open for longer on Bank Holidays than on Sunday in the UK. It's long past time to get rid of these silly archaic opening time laws.

omg when you see it, holy crap lol #Formula1

It has been a while. Gotta love IRC.

Absolutely insane the debt that Americans have. Also really funny he talks to Welsh people and they immediately say they have no debt 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXGo...

The full music video is pretty good too.

Well, this may just be the beginning of the end for GitHub

What is going on today? I got 4 separate recruiters reaching out on LinkedIn.

Apparently Labour MPs are now pro drinking in the job. Crazy government we have these days.

Are you doing okay Bsky app?

Hold on, but I thought wealth taxes don't work? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

🌈🔮📚 SUPER COOL NEWS 📚🔮🌈 Do you like goofy NPCs in games? Do you like finding little notes in game-world drawers? DO YOU like listening to the in-game radio, or stopping to watch the tv? Well, I’m writing A BOOK about all these things, how to create them, and why! I can’t wait for you to see it! 💛

If you're going to watch one Demoscene from Revision 2026 then make it this one. So good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Anb...

If you can't get enough of me up in your choobs, my Cirrus talk is now up

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Two things that immediately get in my way when using other browsers: * Tiny tabs (thankfully enabling horizontal scrolling is usually supported) * Close button showing up on hover (the amount of times it causes accidental closure of tabs when trying to select them is too high!)

My guess is that we have hit a ceiling and are getting to diminishing returns for the top frontier models. So now we will start to see every cheap/open model catching up to them.

Big smiles from Christina and Victor on the deck of the USS John P. Murtha, as they waited to be escorted for their routine post-mission medical checks.

With all that's going on in the world, it is amazing that we have finally had some more humans return to the orbit of the moon. Here is to more Artemis missions!

I have just found a reason to get into Nintendo DS game hacking/modding. This new Disney Magic Connection prototype was just shared. hiddenpalace.org/Disney_Magic...

Best concert I've been to in a while.

Just remembering that Electrofuels exist and wondering why we aren't creating more factories that use up the extra electricity generated by wind farms/solar in the UK to generate them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro...

Absolutely hilarious but also sad that we live in this world now. It’s why I think open source is going to die.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Freaking hell. Just cost me $50 to renew a .io domain

It is becoming increasingly harder and harder to avoid replying to bad takes about GenAI.

I love that we now have electric scrambler bikes. So quiet, but the people riding them are still ignoring all traffic laws. Kind of funny to see.

Every social network will eventually become @onlyhumanhub.com

Setting up a new MacBook, what should I install?

Bluesky should really gain the ability to block not just DIDs, but also domain handles.

Wow, this feels like a very big moment in AI.

Sad to hear the Techempower benchmarks are being sunset github.com/TechEmpower/...

First time I'm seeing a user profile in the wild which returns no createdAt in the response of app.bsky.actor.getProfile. I know it's not a required field, but still, weird. Anyone know what's going on here? Here is the result: public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsk... #atproto #atprotodev

I wonder if LLM models have magnet links for movies (and other copyrighted media) in their training data.

This would be incredibly easy to foresee for everyone who managed to realize what fuel is and that renewable technologies do not require fuel to operate but y'know thinking isn't popular these days.

Bluesky announces $100M Series B after CEO transition

Winter Burrow is nominated for Best Narrative in this year’s YAGA 🥹 Absolutely flabbergasted by every title in this category, and so, so proud of the Pine Creek team! If you enjoyed hanging out with your woodland found family these last couple of months, please do consider voting for Winter Burrow!

This made me curious whether my book is among the 7 million. Doesn't look like it. If you're an author and want to check, visit: secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup

If you stacked up the 7 million books Anthropic pirated, the pile would be 165x taller than the Burj Khalifa. Scale diagram:

DLSS 5 Off DLSS 5 On

Meta doing another 20% of layoffs? This is crazy.
