Seeing Microsoft’s CEO say, “we need to find useful ways to leverage AI” puts to light a few things - There was never a use for it - CEOs don’t lead, they hope for the best and take credit later - There is no path to AI profitability - It’s a cargo cult

People have asked me why I don’t watch The Pitt. Frankly, I can’t imagine a hospital not attempting to maximize profit and doing more than processing cost centers (fka patients).

With so many ways of gaining context for models, what works best? We break down some of the differences and benefits of MCP vs RAG blog.gitbutler.com/mcp-vs-rag

My final newsletter of 2025: We're in The Enshittifinancial Crisis, the fourth stage of enshittification, where companies turn on their shareholders. Unprofitable, unsustainable AI threatens future of venture capital, private equity and the markets themselves. www.wheresyoured.at/the-enshitti...

Having now watched #StrangerThings season 5 episodes 5-7, I have issues but not the ones other people seem to be pulling at. It’s still so far off from season 3, the characters are ridiculously OP, and, in general, the writing is lazy.

Every once in a while I just get sad about Dicky Barrett and the Bosstones. Such a formative part of my youth. It’s sad he became a raving anti-vax, RFK Jr supporting lunatic It hurts to say I hope they don’t reunite until he apologizes publicly, gets vaxxed, and moves away from RFK Jr

“An AI scientist, for example, could figure out how the human brain works, or deliver any gene to any cell in the body.” Yeah and a magic pony could shit bricks of 24k gold and piss a highly concentrated solution of pure heroin.

My 25 year old son noted, for 12 years of school, not including college, he and his classmates were told to not trust Wikipedia yet, as an adult, he’s supposed to trust all these “AI” products that are trained on…Wikipedia

I know Spotify Wrspped gets shitvon quite a bit, but at least it’s fun. The knock-off I didn’t need was a LinkedIn Year in Review.

Okay, so the latest iOS update brings us back to a few cartoony icons and really slow reactions plus a really old school push notification animation. Is this a retro design choice or just boredom and laziness?

AI trying to hijack Advent of Code is super lame

So episode 3, #StrangerThings5 and it’s not getting better - these Joyce and Will moments are boring

Watching the first episode of #StrangerThings5 and, frankly, I don’t know It’s hard toasted belief when everyone is in their 20’s and looks it

As of today, I’ve officially left IBM and I’m working as Head of Developer and Community Relations at @gitbutler.com

Looked through Twitter for the first time in a while tonight. The mixture of pseudofacts, misinformation, and anecdotal bullshit is truly astounding. If you are unclear on what “anecdotal bullshit” is, it’s basically saying, “this is my point of view/experience so it must be universally true”

Here's one for someone who wants to contribute to JRuby: reimplement UNIXSocket using the JDK support for UNIX sockets: github.com/jruby/jruby/... We currently use jnr-unixsocket, part of our native FFI backend, but it has never worked perfectly.
