Feeling like I should re-read the Divergent series, 4 is so hot right now.

Shelley's new compaction algorithm: a tool that the model calls to "squish" and "trim" prior messages. Joint work with @maisem.com. Read all about it at blog.exe.dev/compaction.

This one cuts deep. Banger post tbf.

good post and roundup by @jkriggins.bsky.social - what's next for DORA and the tech industry in measuring engineering team performance? i see Atlassian DX and AWS as key centers of gravity. Will be closely watching what @lauratacho.com and @nathenharvey.bsky.social cook up at AWS.

Wonderful news. Really fucking awesome

LOL! Americans are over here trying to spend $10,000 a year on gas! ⛽🤡 Meanwhile, other countries can buy a whole car for $10,000, and spend nothing on gas.

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

I love the humanity in this article. Trans people are good sailors and great to have at a barbeque.

So much true. Come on Apple, I need screen time for my parents and in-laws; my kids are fine.

I love the header image on this post. Went to look up the history of the original Yahoo! sign and even the article I was looking for was no longer there. But, thank you @archive.org web.archive.org/web/20210117...

Your agents need internet access to get stuff done. But how much access is too much? Introducing internet disconnect: blog.exe.dev/internet-dis...

so what has broken the internet today? well, 1. php 2. node.js 3. gitlab 4. 4 5. musl 6. QUIC/HTTP/3 7. Signal 8. Apache Traffic Server 9. Pillow for Python, even! 10. bind 11. LiteLLM 12. XZ Utils 13. Bind (Java is reported, but supposedly it's just their version of the 4 issue)

Incredible

All this time I was led to believe that 3 was the magic number.

I am going to be writing up a piece about my "community methods demonstration" on AI & cognition. If you want to be part of this silly open and totally experimental citizen science project, you can! Take it here :) persist-study.pages.dev

An agent is a model, a loop, and a set of tools. Where each of these runs determines what the agent costs, what it can do, and how safe it is to use: blog.exe.dev/topology

"they spent five minutes on this shit and they expect me to spend my entire afternoon reviewing it?" Is it really AI or is it just sparkling organizational unfairness?! @charity.wtf and I are doing a live AMA on October 21 on tough questions of this era. Join us! www.honeycomb.io/go/ama-debug...

I knew it! Even came up in the comments on a @scalzi.com post about it 😂 whatever.scalzi.com/2013/03/03/i...

I think I found it.

This guy really has a way with words.

A very very interesting and recent book by Dr Cat Hicks ( @grimalkina.bsky.social ): Pyschology of Software Teams She makes a good case on how most companies/teams don’t understand how devs operate and think of devs as “brains in jars.” And now we have AI suddenly enter the room…

I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

Another great 🧵 from @polotek.bsky.social

@wiredferret.bsky.social this gives new meaning to your phase “used in anger.”

Speaking of Saturn photobombing pics of moons (see my earlier post today)... This video sequence, taken in 2007 by astronomer Jan Koet, shows the Moon moving in the sky—revealing giant Saturn, almost 1.5 billion km away. The video is at twice actual speed.

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

Out of a wreckage of a dying star, a new planet was born. And now that planet is evaporating like a comet, leaving a trail that whips around the star every 4 days. It's a remarkable story written in chemical clues. Nobody has ever seen anything like it before. 🧪🔭 esahubble.org/news/heic2613/

It looks like decompiling has a good AI interface now: rea (Reverse Engineer Anything) brings together the binary decompiling and profiling tools needed to rip apart any binary with MCP interfaces. github.com/morluto/rea

Productivity as an adult is just an endless process of applying new psychological tricks and operant conditioning to yourself until an acceptable number of tasks are completed.
