IT'S HAPPENING GITHUB, THE FIRST ENTERPRISE CLOUD SOLUTION TO REACH ZERO NINES RELIABILITY https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ #github

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

@manmademoon.bsky.social I wish other groups and companies would commit to an April Fool's the way Games Workshop has commited to theirs this year (and the last few years)! www.youtube.com/watch?v=59NO...

Just so everyone knows, the Solicitor General straight up lied about the 1921 law review article he kept talking about. quick thread:

For the first time in more than 50 yrs, humans are headed to the Moon! Join Associate Curator Jackie Faherty & colleagues in the Cullman Hall of the Universe today for special 10-min presentations & Q&A sessions on the Moon’s origins, the Artemis II mission, & the future of human space exploration.

Okay folks I've responded to the data center heat island paper. It is the worst study on AI and the environment I've ever read, by far. Thank you to @beijingpalmer.bsky.social for flagging. blog.andymasley.com/p/data-cente...

Maybe a contender for the next round of the Ig Nobel? People in Chicago noticed a hole in the pavement where a rat had fallen into the wet concrete. Scientists summoned all their um, actually energy, ran some analyses, and showed that it was most likely a squirrel. doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...

Talking to some undergrads tomorrow about the why no one actually pays us to type model.fit() and asked them ahead of time to submit answers to a "trivially easy" data problem Fun to see the results come it, wild to know how many business run with a not dissimilar fog of war

Every year Garth Marenghi - a parody of pretentious, idiotic, prolific, yet inexplicably popular writers - ends up looking smarter by virtue of "I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards," which was a JOKE, yet here we have authors who DON'T UNDERSTAND THEY'RE DOING SOCIAL COMMENTARY.

you should read my article, in which I explain why westerners are obsessed with a completely fictional idea of 'honor culture,' where it came from, and then repeatedly dunked on pete hegseth

Okay for the rest of my life I have a new preferred go-to example of what a DFA is

Here's the Shadertoy where you can paint eroded mountains and islands with your mouse, right in the browser: www.shadertoy.com/view/sf23W1 #ProcGen #vfx #GameDev

My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source. It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks. Explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4V2... Companion blog post: blog.runevision.com/2026/03/fast... #ProcGen #vfx #GameDev

Go to GitHub.com and change your settings to not allow your code to be used for AI training. MicroSlop is truly going back to the old ways of being evil.

my thoughts and prayers to the Codeberg folks, who are about to get an influx of new users with no idea what we are doing. Please have patience with us

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

how diffie hellman key exchange works (with as little math as possible)

Whoa. "[F]inetuning exclusively on Haruki Murakami's novels unlocks verbatim recall of copyrighted books from over 30 unrelated authors...Our findings offer compelling evidence that model weights store copies of copyrighted works." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Cheering Vectorware on in the hopes they retroactively validate my laziness in never learning CUDA

Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:

INT. MURPHY’S PUB – DAY It is 9 a.m. Everyone is holding pints. There are no clues that fashion and technology have progressed since 1956.

@steveklabnik.com 2 questions: are there any other resources on the performance differences of &str- vs byte-matching I just missed, and how the hell do you even implement a trie-match on bytes in an optimizing compiler?! wild nrposner.com/blog/matchin...

I'm just going to say it. Iike semicolons. I think they help with code readability. I'd take semicolons over significant whitespace any day of the week.

The March edition of the scientific computing in Rust newsletter is out. Enjoy! scientificcomputing.rs/monthly/2026...

"I asked the oracle at Delphi what would happen if I went to war with Persia and the oracle said I would see rocket launches that are the death throes of a dying regime."

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

Super sleazy thievery by @the-independent.com

Sometimes judges like to start off nice, lull you into complacency, but ummmm not this time!

The buried lede here is that the Times got the transcript 😈 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Worth noting that this company is owned by Meta and the blog post doesn't say one word about privacy or what happens to any of that data

The presidential tantrums will continue until morale improves or there is a new president, which probably occurs simultaneously.

New game: make up a name for an indie/alt band, post it as a reply to this, and THEN look it up to see if it exists. I'll go first: "gold star pansexual"

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

take from grumpy old woman. The only reason so many ML studies claim you can predict stuff from EEG is because it’s a multidimensional signal with excellent time resolution, so can be chopped up zillions of ways

🚨Replication alert🚨 I'm pleased to announce that my replication of Moretti (2021) is now accepted as a comment at AER. I find ten issues in the paper. My comment focuses on two major problems; in the appendix, I document eight (relatively) minor problems. 1/

can this be a solution?

Lads, I think i've cracked this.

Just discovered Grammarly was using me as one of its AI “experts.”
