We need an alternate history series around what if 9/11 never happened. 猫 シ Corp. "NEWS AT 11" popped up in my random videos I have on the background while working, and just made me think... "You know I wonder how the world would have looked without the Patriot Act"

The number of MSP seats Reform managed to pickup in the regional seats in Scotland is pretty concerning. Everyone I've ever spoken to here that praises Reform has been very unapologetically racist. I'm not talking anti immigrant, but actually openly racist against non-white skin colours.

It's not too late!

Who's using local LLM setups for coding? What's your setup like?

Kind of an adjacent question to this one. For those of you who don't like to use LLMs with coding, is it only non open LLMs, or is it all LLMs? Why either way?

What OSS projects have taken strict anti-AI stances?

I've never used Github as a "social media". I was totally unaware people treated it that way 👀

When my youngest started nursery a week ago I thought, "We've been through this our immune systems should handle nursery germs just fine!" Nope... I was wrong... so very very wrong

git --bare init on a NAS and backed up is fine for your personal projects 😉

lichess is so good I'm still bad at chess, but definitely lichess.org pilled over chess.com now

It's quite difficult to have a proper conversation about the strengths and weaknesses of LLMs because it's been turned into a religious topic. Treat tools like tools

@baileytownsend.dev ftw again with gatekeeper!

I'm officially on my own pds finally! Shoutout to @baileytownsend.dev great pdsmoover for making that super easy.

been writing Go for work (yea got a real job, life update I guess 😅) I forgot how much I loved the simplicity of this language

Hot take: if British children need to be in uniform in schools, so should the teachers.

Years ago the tongue-in-cheek joke was rm -rf / It was tounge-in-cheek because most old heads have done it or been involved with cleaning it up. We also built tons of tooling, infrastructure and best practices around preventing that problem. It's 2003 again guys!

Definitely a reason my side project creation script is a bit cheeky to me 😅

one thing I never did when I was dabbling with gamedev was play with bevy. I like rust I would probably like bevy, might need to play

cachyos on the surface my kid uses to play Minecraft works flawlessly, one less windows device in the house now.

Any ubiquity / unifi folk use the G6 180? What do you think about it? I'm thinking about it for over the new garage. Is the spotlight good for more than just the camera? I can't seem to figure out how bright it is out of the context of video feeds.

Greens win a by-election and the British media throws their toys out the pram. Apparently Britain is doomed, voter fraud is rife, and we are heading to the abyss.

I like that chess.com asks if you want to accept chats so I can just pretend that there's 0 toxicity and everyone is trying their best to get better at chess. 😂

It's very telling the media calls repercussions for sexual harassment and abuse "cancel culture" but calls locking up refugees without due process "immigration reform"

I feel like if you are using AI to summarise things, you could have probably skipped the thing all together. If it was important enough to you, you would have read all of it to understand it.

My youngest has managed to change my rings multiple times on my Apple Watch and I don't know where the settings are to fix them. 😅

Still weighing up options, but need to go with something soon-ish.

Let's go! My boys got me a good birthday present. Maybe I'll go from really bad to just bad at chess 😂

Parents, don't let your kids continvoucly morge even once.

stockfish: that move was a miss you could've had a checkmate... in 18 moves me: checkmate in the next 5 - I don't think it was a miss 😬

The AI hype train is on the fast track towards technofeudalism. This is why I keep asking people to look out the window and show me something different. Unfortunately enough people are along for the ride and don't care where we end up.

How long until there’s a black market discord verified account service generating verification passing fake ids.

What if… Vibe coding was actually created by the cyber security industry. I mean… it’s not TOTALLY crazy to think 😅

A blunder is still a blunder no matter if the end result worked out, my next opponent won't miss my blunder.

Hey chessky what is the absolute best book to read for someone just getting into #chess?

I feel like a lot of automations folks are doing with agents can probably be done mostly by shell scripts in a more deterministic fashion. Maybe just use a LLM for some categorization, instead of to do the whole thing.

If your language has null, sometimes null checks can hide bigger problems depending on what you do when you check for null. When a thing shouldn't be null and your system relies on it, crashing on a nullpointer exception can be the right thing to do. The stack trace will illuminate the issues.

If you were doing a new home network and POE cameras from scratch what would you go with?

For those who only focus on global politics, remember the people who get there for the most part start locally. Pay attention to your local community and participate so that the next generation of politicians looks more like what you want.

I am happiest and proudest of my work when I am building things for other developers. I'd love to begin contributing to a meaningful, open source project, but I'm not sure where to even start.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

The fact that this is Java now, 😍

I decided to install cachyos on my desktop yesterday. Impressed, Nvidia drivers worked super well right out the box. I only really use that computer for steam games, and it's worked flawlessly so far. I really wanted something no maintenance for that machine and it's delivered so far.

This is super gross. ztechtalk.com/microsoft-te...

2006: Less is more, don’t repeat yourself 2016: Beautiful code prevents technical debt 2026: trillions of lines of generated spaghetti code that generate other spaghetti code will save us

“Don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water” “Miss the forest through the trees” Something about sayings like these just instantly annoy me.

@tangled.org not sure what happened I deleted this repo through tangled .org (tangled.org/treybastian....) -- to remake it because I couldn't stand the casing 😅 it deleted on my knot, but something went wrong in the app view it appears.
