@matt-levine.bsky.social There was a bit of a large exchange among OCaml maintainers (probably Jane Street) with a user endlessly insisting on an AI generated PR. I felt like there's a Money Stuff in here, couldn't figure out if there was a tips email so here's a link github.com/ocaml/ocaml/...

Enjoyed this write up of "what I use" in 2025. They're more AI-focused than me, but I want to look into some of these voice control setups … zackproser.com/blog/2025-ai...

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Really sad to hear from a federal worker pal that their job right now is to sit around and get fired 🙃 🎉 Fun Facts 🎉 Congress has to -approve- reductions in force, because you need to pay out severance AKA *something you need budget to do*

I am heading to ETHDenver this week, if anyone is in those circles. Broadly, since I find myself in web3, I'm trying to figure out where People I Might Like To Hang With hang online, since I broadly avoided web3 until working in it :P

when food safety inspections stop and flights are grounded indefinitely, i hope someone can drive home a message to get people to appreciate just how critical these federal programs are. the GOP has had a stranglehold on bashing federal funding for too long (and their states are the biggest takers)

Good Afternoon from your Super Bowl Champion, Philadelphia Eagles.
