I guess @rachelappel.bsky.social doesn’t want to be disturbed. :)

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

I'm amused. Exclamation mark.

RIP Rebecca Heineman @burgerbecky.bsky.social, game developer pioneer and legend. Grateful we got to chat last year at San Francisco GDC. It was much too short.

Hmm. Maybe it's time to buy a TEAC W-1200 (and an Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB while I'm at it). Yeah, in terms of raw quality, cassettes suck, but even though I haven't used any in decades, I always liked the format.

Noticed the shift in AI coverage lately? The hype’s fading, replaced by quiet worry about a bubble. But we've seen this before ... twice. In my @ndcconferences.com keynote, I explore what past AI hype cycles reveal about today’s boom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5s_...

Just wanted to share my first ever 100% organic selfie!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I just heard a new term I'm going to be using in the future: Slopsplaining: When someone who doesn't know anything about a topic offers up unsolicited AI generated slop 'advice' to others.

Latest addition to my library. @citizenmatt.bsky.social, thanks for the recommendation!

It's Patch Tuesday and ASP.NET Core has a doozy, with a CVSS score of 9.9, our highest ever. Let's examine why. The bug enables http request smuggling, which on its own for ASP.NET Core would be nowhere near that high, but that's not how we rate things... * Thread- (1/7)

After months of hard work, I’m proud to announce the React Certification I helped build with @certificates.dev is LIVE! 🎉 It’s been so rewarding to create something that helps devs grow their skills & prove what they know with confidence. certificates.dev/react More info 🧵👇

Dear Joint Photographic Experts Group, we all greatly appreciate what you've done for the web and digital photography. Nevertheless, please refrain from tagging our bridges like you did in Düsseldorf (51°15'05.5"N 6°46'17.6"E). Peace out #JPEG #graffiti #tag #tagging #Düsseldorf

I hope our #philosophy expert friends here can help @rachelappel.bsky.social and me out because we’re at a loss. We do recognize most of the names but have to admit we’re absolutely unfamiliar with the great philosophers Rezeption and Boardrooms.

Dear scammers, I'm pleased to see that apparently you too have adopted generative AI for creating your #scam emails. Good for you! The email you sent me is written in flawless German. However, this is also a valuable lesson in not blindly trusting #GenAI.

I do think that LLMs are an amazing technical breakthrough. But I also think that there is a significant risk in letting generative AI take over tasks without human supervision. Because sooner or later, something like this is bound to happen: 1/3 #AI #GenAI #GenerativeAI #LLM #Cursor #hallucinations
