Happy Caturday from me and my cutest girly who loves to spend time together

In honor of Internation cat day, Ophelia would like to show everyone why she’s a 100% meme cat material

Caturday is on!

Wonderfully put

34.8% of children in London live in poverty, and a large part of it is due to housing costs. We’re doing society such a disservice by optimizing for the wealthy obtaining assets rather then quality of life for the population

Questions about the new Apple design language including the new liquid glass material?! We got you covered and then some. Check out the #Design page on the Developer site. Comprehensive and detailed HIG pages? Oh yeah! Jaw-dropping design videos? Of course! developer.apple.com/design/ #WWDC25

These scathing paragraphs do a good job at describing the lack luster vibe around wwdc this year. Previous attempts around VR and AI have stalled out and they’ve gone out of their way to make things worse for developers

I love/hate the new vibe coding: If there’s anything developers hate, it’s having to maintain someone else’s code, and AI will only amplify this So you end up with something that has the lifespan of a sand castle. It’s great for prototypes, but completely unusable as a foundation of a real product

This is so clever, putting this right in the path of least resistance rather then depending on an action, visiting branding pages, that almost no one does

What really stands out to me is how the filling is arranged so it looks great on the shelf while the back of the sandwich contains nothing but broken promises and empty dreams

This Caturday one of the neighbors was drilling and hammering something. Ophelia was very displeased she was not consulted beforehand and strongly disapproves

Caturday. Let’s make sure to remember the little joys in life, like the morning sunrise shining on your face

Honestly I’m surprised the logo is still visible

Aside for the historical import of the moment, I have to also appreciate the power of a good orator Obama was a shining example of how to use rhythm and pacing to grab the moment and make it momentous. Carney is also a master at delivering this

Are you sure it’s Caturday? It feels rather early for that

The odds of being ambushed by a cat are low, but never zero

Classical Latin didn't have any definite (or indefinite) articles, but modern Romance languages do. So when did they emerge? That highlighted "illo" is a transitional fossil that captures the change as it was happening 🧵

So important to health and happiness

This can’t be overstated enough: It is cheaper to help homeless with housing and counseling then it is to accept homelessness as a thing It’s a deliberate and cruel choice driven by the idea they deserve eternal punishment

I think the first sign of AGI is when it suggests a revamp of the education a system so it doesn’t have to answer the same stupid questions over and over and over and over

The moment there is a back door, it’s no longer encrypted. Just stored in a slightly inconvenient format

Heh @eve6.bsky.social do you like alternative rock?

The real threat is that it showed that the emperor isn’t wearing any clothes Everyone is trying to out invest each other in AI tech, but there’s no moat. And no profits

Somewhat older but very relevant and interesting read Was $2 on Amazon for me which is a steal

“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun” - Chairman Mao Politics is convention, and as all conventions, they only work as long as enough of the collective supports them, otherwise it falls to more base means as Mao reminded us

“Decades worth of taxpayer-funded reports and analysis gone in an instant,” It is what the modern version of book burnings looks like The internet achieve is going to be more important then ever, consider donating archive.org

The most popular new social media app comes from China, they make great EVs, produce solar panels like no one else, DeepThink showed that OpenAI and Google have no moat Add to that freezing research grants, and you might start to think Americas global leadership position is coming to an end?

X employees must feel quite relieved he’s focusing his efforts somewhere else

“We have to live within our means” the govt says while dealing with the economic devastating decision of Brexit

Moat? What moat That’s gotta seriously ruin OpenAIs valuation dreams

I’m waiting on @dieworkwear.bsky.social to explain how a poorly fitted suit means his arm doesn’t have the range of motion it requires to pull this off

Gentle reminder that muted words is an amazing tool to help manage your mental health and social media experience Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace

It’s Caturday so that means extra sleeping in for the girls

This such a critical finding: “Contrary to common beliefs, we find that misinformation isn’t universal or a general condition of our media ecosystem. Instead, it's specifically radical-right populist parties that spread misinformation as a political strategy”

Oh no. Starship went Woke

I felt really smug for having noticed the cat. Only to realize there’s two cats

You’d be surprised how well “generally not being a dick” works as a recruitment strategy

Highlighting that my team is hiring. Great work/life balance + lots of choice in technical direction. Best manager I've had in tech. OSS platform that collects speech for a CC0 dataset w 130+ languages. Great gig for language dorks. Happy to answer questions but am not the hiring mgr👋

Watching Zuck talk about masculine energy made me realize that when I think of masculine energy I think of protecting, nurturing, providing, creating space for someone to blossom When they talk about masc energy they seem to mean the opposite: scared, defensive, aggressive, oppressing

Always there to check up on me when I’m under the weather

The apocalypse getting in the way of the post-apocalypse series 🎶 isn’t it ironic 🎵🎶

I wonder if this’ll lead to a new wave of climate change impact movies being made over the next few years

“Meta’s dangerous algorithms and reckless pursuit of profit substantially contributed to the atrocities perpetrated by the Myanmar military against the Rohingya people in 2017” -Amnesty International The same lack of guardrails will now be enjoyed by the US and we’ve already seen what it can do

It’s basically impossible for anyone to be well informed and guided by facts, because “the arbiter of truth(iness)” is now a fountain of spam I can only hope it’ll create an opportunity for a well curated information source to be built some day

Now that it’s weekend I’m sleeping and resting as much as I can to beat this flu. The kitties are very supportive of this lifestyle

My favorite way to end the evening. Softly snoring kitties, comfy couch and a good book

Where others post their Spotify wrapped, it’s all about goodreads for me
