Xbox is not long for this world I fear. Xbox has not been a big performer, and Microsoft needs the money for their enterprise AI strategy anyway

I think the prospects for the Netflix deal are fine because Trump likes Sarandos and doesn't like Ellison enough to give him everything (and would rather have multiple people owe him), so this strikes me as a way to take a shot at Rice but more importantly to feed the grievance machine

Bruh

The obvious cautionary tale is even AWS can build an AI that gets things wrong (which should be warning to the rest of us), but I would also say that the problem was less about Kiro or AI in general and more about their automated safeguards, which should be in place no matter who's making changes

Bro really wanted to let Vance know what he thinks of that Pope killer lmao

If AI helps make the case for UBI stronger and more convincing, that's fine with me. Whatever it takes But as a pedantic matter I don't think AI changes the calculus. Pre-AI, we could always have used UBI. Alaska got it for 40 years. Post-AI, I don't think AI will have the job impact Big Tech hopes

People who think of New England as a liberal bastion are sleeping on the Texas ass nature of the New Hampshire legislature "Live Free or Die" lmao

I got good news and bad news for #Orioles fans: Good news: O'Hearn hit a 3-run bomb Bad News: O'Hearn plays for the #Pirates now

Me seeing more snow coming after we finally survived living in Superman's Fortress of Solitude

Good to see Kremer in midseason form for the #Orioles lmao

Nothing like pepperoni pizza and the classics

I will be seated for #HouseOfTheDragon S3

I keep saying Starmer is Love Actually Biden

I think this is a charitable view, loyalty to an ideological project and electoral success, when the reality is likely more cynical, that Roberts is protecting his own finances and his friends' finances. I'm sure his buddies have complained quite a bit

The @nytimes.com is going to put @nytpitchbot.bsky.social out of a job lmao

It's nice to see Hesty back in the box for the #Orioles

It is very funny that John Roberts was like "I'll give you criminal immunity but don't come for my bag" lmao

That's also how they felt about DS9 and every other show after TNG, even Picard S1/S2 lmao. For these deeply uncreative people, if it ain't on the Enterprise, it ain't #StarTrek The lesson of Wonder Man, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and Andor is you can do different things in the same universe

Amazon pushed Kiro hard at re:Invent. But it doesn't have the juice, so we see what we always see when insecure people have positions of power. Instead of stepping up their game, they silence the competition This is at the expense of productivity, which is a strong signal on Big Tech's priorities

Hey @jetbrains.com do y'all have native support for Agent Skills?

"Just want to make sure that we're doing our due diligence and make sure Jordan is in the best chance to play this year," Albernaz said. Is it just me or does that sound like Westy has something serious going on that could put him out for the year? 😱 #orioles

This is terrible, and it makes me think about the strong possibility that Elon illegally used DOGE to access sensitive government records that he then used to train Grok, while also adding a system prompt to be as "informative" as possible with responses to queries Not the only possibility but...

Fox Business is an unlikely advocate for DC statehood

Oracle ruins everything it touches. Somehow #Java was salvaged (although I always recommend Kotlin if you are developing something new on the JVM), but why would you even look at MySQL at any time since Oracle took over when PostgreSQL (and MariaDB I guess) is sitting right there?

When you look up the restaurant menu online and discover it's a PDF

Surprised 1-1 isn't more impactful but regardless I love this shit

When I send you this, I am about to read you for filth and humiliate your dumb ass in front of the whole world for eternity

Brooks or Schmidt tho

Everyone already knew Ring’s AI-powered “Search Party” feature isn’t intended to be limited only to dogs, but it is objectively funny that Siminoff went out of his way to put that in an email to document it as clearly as possible lmao

It has been 0️⃣ days since I saw someone say "Failure is not an option" on LinkedIn

This is flats wrong

Maybe but I would say the prototype for a cleanup hitter that was established in like 1926 might not be the way to go in 2026 We know now with analytics that the people who are the best at hitting should do the most hitting. Like the #Dodgers do with Ohtani, Freeman, Betts. Bohm at cleanup is fine

I'm not sure where the chicken and the egg are, but I think the main discriminator is Graber has eschewed ads, which selects for a certain kind of user predisposed to hating ads and the content designed to addict us to the platform so we see a bunch of ads Meta is a cynical, glorified billboard

I will be seated for #TheMandalorianAndGrogu

It feels like Soto has been around for like 20 years and he's only 27, younger than Dadley lmao

That is so wild

I think it is only right to be honest about who lives there

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

I am an idiot but at least a Nobel Laureate agrees with me on something, although it is concerning that someone responsible for a lot of people's money does not agree with him too

This is like everything bad in tech joining forces all at once like the Sinister Six or the Constructions merging into Devastator, and of course it comes at the expense of the people we should be protecting the most

I always say React is the Java of UI, and this recent survey makes it clear that is not changing anytime soon

Things would be a lot better in Westeros if the First Men or the Andals introduced settling disputes with dance offs instead of trials by combat

Take all my money

The lesson from Wonder Man, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Starfleet Academy, even Andor is that there is an audience for high-quality but not grandiose stories in otherwise grandiose universes

I agree this editor is a dumbass for these: — "By removing writing from reporters' workloads..." — "If you’re a student considering journalism, I’d skip that degree" But the opposite extreme is also dumbassery. AI agents can add value for journalists like they do for this documentarian

RIP to the GOAT Robert Duvall

RIP Tre Johnson, who was the best football player in Washington for a long time and retired to teach in the DMV

#Python is 31x slower than Go and #Java for MCP servers. That's from TM Dev Lab's new benchmark. Their recommendation: Don't use Python for AI at scale in prod I wrote about this last year. Python's strengths for ML prototyping become weaknesses at enterprise scale. Nice to see the data confirm it

As someone who has advocated trading Mounty for so long that he had significant trade value when I started, this makes sense. And the #Orioles being unable to buy a top free agent starter plus Alonso makes Mayo available for a top starter although I have been bullish on him for several years
