It is engineering malpractice that this site has not yet implemented an option to allow people to private their accounts, given that they’re a US based company, and the US is going through what it’s going through. But hey, waffles, amirite.

My toxic trait is buying clothes when I have a business trip coming …

Just finished the chapter on the buildout of data centers in South America by Google and Microsoft and truly is there an end of the trail of destruction?

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.

Facts.

Today I got to use my special powers for good It was a good day.

Back in the day people used to have a slide at the end of their presentations saying "and that's how the brain works" as an inside joke about Hinton since he was known to talk confidently out of his ass. Now, the Nobel committee brought this upon us like they give the peace prize to genociders.

Man I am begging the leadership of this website to get some media training.

ONLY MONDAY

We don't, there will be a new (and hopefully better) normal after this, that said, for the rest of our lives we'll have to be aware a non-trivial number of neighbors and fellows voted for actual fascism, and that's always going to be a bummer

It wouldn’t be the worst thing if this man’s vein just popped in one of those interviews.

Whoever is managing said list. Tag me in bruh

announcing a new community-focused gem server from the team previously behind rubygems: gem.coop. join us and start using it today!

The combination of Taylor Swift’s new album and AJR is keeping me sane today.

I would laugh if this was so god damned tragic.

I have resorted to playing upbeat music in my ears as I read through Empire of AI because that book is depressing the fuck out of me. It’s an important read for understanding how we got here and the motivation of the companies behind this bubble. But damn…

Shocked to learn that @avleen.com has never watched or even listened to Hamilton. I feel I failed him as a friend.

NEW: breach of Discord age verification data. Including some users passports & DLs Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic. Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!! Just the one!!

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

It seems some CEOs still haven’t learned the art of a private group chat.

Hey you. Yeah you. Don’t even let those imposter syndrome thoughts hijack your brain again.

Send the prayer for oncall engineers in streaming services tonight

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

Of course this jackass would over engineer published a list instead of….i dunno. A gist? 😂

Ok but where is that open letter I wanna sign.

OMG. Someone go adopt this guy right now!

I hate that even my usually favorite engineering newsletters are now all AI AI AI Hate it.

🧵 This might be the aspect of surveillance that ppl who aren't obsessed with this stuff are least aware of: the line between corporate and state surveillance no longer exists, and legal rights (to privacy, etc.) don't matter when the police can contract out violations of those inconvenient rights.

This site isn't homework. I don't need to give PR statements on every news event. Every minute I spend on here is Empty Time I won't get back, and I should prioritize everything else above it.

Stopped obsessing over the perfect joke. That energy goes into writing fiction, offline, and hopefully for pay. I don't try to read every post I missed. Heavy use of muted words.

Bundler belongs to the Ruby community andre.arko.net/2025/09/25/b...

The primary owner of a major open source language and framework in software is openly white supremacist and expelling long time (decades) maintainers on political grounds only. Oh and he’s supported and bankrolled by a major tech company. It’s fine.

I guess there is one thing he learned from musk.

You’ll be shocked to hear that their recommendation is not limiting the circumstances in which AI is deployed, but rather accepting the inevitability it will occasionally have catastrophic effects.

Only took…17 hours… to get from Nashville to my house today.

You’d think today’s air traffic control failures would cause some revisit of backup procedures to something better than “a backup radio that’s 2 frequencies” Alas…SREs don’t run the world.

Teaser for the project I'm working on at Medium: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPnc... We've got a bit of work to do before it's ready for the masses, but you can join the waitlist: medium.com/tk

In this truly terrible media environment it’s so refreshing to see @coachtony.bsky.social @footle.org and team bring a sincere attempt to keep good writing viable. Excited for Medium and its team.

This industry is in for a big shift and it’s not even the one from AI. A lot of financial ramifications from this one.

#botrosd an entire airport apparently.

So this was an interesting fraud attempt through @bsky.app and what’s app and my affinity to NOT listen to instructions continues to be an actual gift 😂

Someone explain to @americanair.bsky.social the concept of affinity im begging you im so tired.

this piece really drove me insane. NVIDIA seeds companies and gives them the guaranteed contracts necessary to raise debt to buy GPUs from NVIDIA, even though these companies are horribly unprofitable and will eventually die from a lack of any real demand. Magical, beautiful, that's capitalism, baby

I'm not convinced we know the difference between "toil" and necessary work. We know when people don't want to do something, but that tells us nothing about what load that thing bears.

These events are run by amateurs at the least and collaborators at the very worst. You never “register” for a protest…
