why do you need to verify your age on the app for 38 year olds?

My morning view a few hours ago

the bluesky experience

CDPR has posted another full time Senior Writer position for Cyberpunk 2. Remote or Hybrid working (US) If you applied the first time around and were rejected you can reapply for this one. www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs/2209...

Apparently fantasy or scifi doesn't exist as a genre to the Guardian ...

no real poster wants an edit button. weaklings. live and die by those typos.

Just incredible things from the VLC folks

Here are my top 6 pizzas in Tokyo after eating at over 30 spots around the city! And yes, they're all on par with pizzas I've had Naples (maybe even better :D) pilcrowonpaper.com/blog/15

jj workspaces are the new git worktrees

What @ffconf.org just said - our CFP is now open - please tell your friends, colleagues, cats, fish (actually, not fish, we don't have a waterproof microphone), and importantly, your amazing brain: ffconf.org/cfp

Am I doing this right?

describe the best feeling in the world

The uncomfortable work that we men, the ones who consider ourselves allies, is to call out and teach those boys around us. And fuck yes to gathering evidence to get the shit bags tossed. 👏 and 🙏 to @ohhelloana.blog on her post ohhelloana.blog/woman-in-tech/

Why does Wagner Moura look like the love child of Jack Quaid and Karl Urban in this photo

It's a morning of outstanding beauty!

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

Autumn in Durban is rough

nasa employee: oh hey u guys are back early astronaut: data centre's haunted nasa employee: what? astronaut: *loading a pistol and getting back on the rocket-ship* data centre's haunted

*joining the data center discourse* the current generation of AI platforms required net new data centers or complete gutting and retrofitting of existing data centers the next generation of AI platforms will require net new data centers or complete gutting and retrofitting of existing data centers

When Claude doesn't do what I want youtu.be/Q9vVs48pn6s?...

But its not just Github thats seen huge increases in load, its every downstream service... think Vercel, Netlify, Railway, Supabase etc... None of which are struggling, despite huge increases in load. GitHub's problem is they're on Azure which is extremely resource constrained right now.

Just done a calculation on how much more my wife and I will be paying for fuel this month, and its a 54% increase from March... we do average mileage for SA.

Github is the only Microsoft product I use these days... wonder how much longer that will last

ok... cmux has the juice cmux.com

This is amazing

At what point does Microsoft just give up on the Windows kernel, and just ships a customised Linux OS running an optimised version of Wine and with Windows looking UI and call it Windows?

why am I looking at xteink e-readers... and do you think I can get one imported into SA?

The last one has strong Marc Jacobs by Marc Jacobs vibes

Personal git service that implements GH's API surface and event schema when?

now public and quite a bit more polished: a fully local browser-based code review UI. Review your (or your agent's) diff before inflicting it on the world. σκέψις: viewing, perception by the senses. Examination, speculation, consideration.

Hmmm... should I setup a South African PDS host?

this account is run by a human at NASA JPL who only posts real images with their receipts. it only has 11k followers compared to the 200k the ai slop space account has

I've experimenting with writing very detailed complex specs, then throwing it into a remote VM and leaving Claude to build... The latest one was 3000 lines of spec. From there I get it to create a detailed implementation plan, then write the plan to a dedicated Github project.

Your community deserves its own platform. acorn.blacksky.community

brilliant post: "If you’ve been building systems with clear documentation, explicit context, and strong communication norms, AI amplifies that. If you’ve been deferring it, hoping tooling would eventually solve it, AI exposes that—faster and more visibly than anything before."

You can see when Opus 4.5 was released.... React is the front end framework it recommends if you don't specify one.

Let me check on the Chelsea game... I'm sure they're doing better than the game on the weekend

A good way to run out of disk space is sub-agent driven development with multiple worktrees compiling Rust binaries. highly effective way to crash your machine, 10/10 would recommend.

At a macro level there could viably be more jobs due to AI in the future. On a micro level jobs to be done will change rapidly. Whole classes of jobs will cease to exist forcing people to rapidly reskill and find relevance again. This churn brings huge pain and many won't navigate it successfully

Give Vukosi a follow. I've been following him for years, at the other place and now here for the last few years... A leading voice on AI in Africa

Elon can fuck right off.

you can get an M1 Air — still a very decent computer — for less than $400. incredible.

Ugh... Claude Design builds its ui kits in React...

Reading up on Nvidia's next generation of data center compute, the Vera Rubin platform. Its a step change in architecture that is going to have significant impacts, and going to accelerate everything. This is a great deep dive on the architecture. newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/vera-rubin...

Our largest pricing change since 2017: Goodbye seat based pricing

Same for websites designed by Claude's "frontend-design" skill

My son is 11,autistic, and obsessed with Minecraft. I manage a team of 4 Database Engineers. At some point I started to talk to them like how the parenting courses told me to communicate with my son and the team morale and overall performance has shot up so much we got an award
