Different context but this captures my $0.02 on code review too. Receiving an automated review dump from a 3rd party brings nothing to the party. Having a person perform their standard review **and** augmenting it with findings they've actually vetted from AI reviewers? That's useful.

Have had good luck with opening bands recently. Tonight was new-to-me VIAL from Minneapolis

Downloaded baldur's gate I for my switch. It fave me a full tutorial on the following to make sure I understood: 1) Late 90s CRPG style games 2) The AD&D 2e rules Jesus christ

I have a colleague referring to agentic coding as "Swedish Chef Coding" and I must admit that it's much more work friendly than "Cuck Coding".. you know, where you are forced to just watch...

Remember that loud bang last May? Colleagues at @haystack.mit.edu have used radar and acoustic data to track the meteor and reconstruct its orbit, from beyond Mars to the Cape Cod Bay arxiv.org/pdf/2610.24566 @universalhub.com

All those moments will be lost … like tears in the rain

I always kinda hated "roguelikes" because they never reminded me of rogue. I don't know when people bastardized the term, but it led me to grab Real Rogue (or rather, A Real Rogue). So much better.

22 years ago tonight, everything changed.

Ok, damn. This guy is legit.

I'd like to report a murder

Octopus is the easiest thing to cut out of your diet on moral grounds because it’s basically never around, probably has dreams and emotions and tastes like a tire.

Oh look… it’s a @hadley.nz agent.

Me too, giant panda. Me too.

Does the Seaport Rodeo involve lassoing all the people roaming around in Patagonia vests?

This is huge. With AOT, AHS, and the runtime changes coming in 28, it’s going to be a stellar release. Most people don’t realize how amazing the JVM is, and it just keeps getting better - github.com/openjdk/jdk/... #java #jvm

Got to share some recent (& ongoing) work with folks at @fulcrumgenomics.com yesterday! Instead of my normal style (go deep on 1 project), I covered 3 recent projects: github.com/COMBINE-lab/... github.com/COMBINE-lab/... github.com/zrudnick/bra... Thanks for inviting me to meet with the team!

Someone has to volunteer as tribute to dress like this and go on CNBC to explain software and the internet and social engineering to the people.

Good news, my Amazon "about you" didn't declare me to have "flat buttocks"

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

I mean we all know that Lovecraft was ... problematic. But once in a while i'll be rereading something (rats in the walls, in this case) and stop and say, "Wait .... what?!?!"

You know you're an old school, Boston townie when you leave a review for a chinese restaurant bemoaning that they stopped including dinner rolls in their takeout bags

For years I associated the sound of the Dropkick Murphys with a dude who wants to tell me about how his grandparents immigrated "the right way," so I am constantly having to remind myself that the band itself is quite different

watching a bit from the hulu austin limits live stream, and like 92.3% of people in the crowd have their phone up. where did we go wrong as a society?

Reckon I've got a chance at this, lads....

Every time I’m at the Middle East it blows my mind that I’ve been coming here for 30+ years

Multiple people at the house of blues tonight were rocking what looked to be new Germs shirts. Not sure what’s driving the surge in merch for the germs but I am here for it!

Ping @nuclearanthro.bsky.social

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

Do we seriously have to do Maoist newspeak every single time an 80 year old posts his idiotic ideas on the internet. It has been AI since before I was even born. Can literally anyone have a shred of dignity.

Nightmare fuel

Modern generations can't understand "RISC is good" #hackers

Claude's take on some other genAI handiwork: "Short version: the slop is real and large." Game recognizes game, Claude.

"We need an architecture that can scale!" "Dude, your largest table is less than a million rows"

If the first word out of your mouth after saying “I’m VERY open minded” is “but”, have I got news for you

I'm sorry, but in the Boy Scouts I was taught to Be Prepared. And thus I always have a water bottle stashed in my bag because who knows that that day is gonna look like. And besides, this is also a dumb take for all the reasons everyone else is dunking on it.

when somebody orders a shot of malört

TFW one of your "instant ear worm" songs shows up on shuffle mode. I know what I'll be listening to 300x the next few days!

Opus 5.5 comes out, advertised as having Fable's biosecurity guards. No problem, Fable has been AOK for a couple of months now. Switch from Fable to Opus, give it the same prompt I'd been using on Fable all morning, gets flagged. Oh well, great job gang.

At the Wilbur for the first of two diff shows this week. Just realized our seats tonight are directly next to fridays seats. Will feel just like home!

this why I laugh any time people ask me "won't slop be insecure" my sibling in christ, where do you think they learned to code insecurely from

Was proud of myself for remembering 2 of the 3 Very Important Showerthoughts I Should Do Today as usually it's 0 of N. Was going to post about that mild victory, which then triggered a memory of what the 3rd was. Pretty sure this is one of the prophesied signs of the apocalypse, but I'll take it!

Interesting post
