Been thinking about this Grace Hopper "what is a nanosecond" since @umbraco.foundation last week. @jasonelkin.uk asked the audience "do we think 200ms is fast or slow?". In Hopper's example, that'd be 35,000 miles of wire (about 1.5 trips around the world) www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eyF...

Experience the Septopert. Not just the new smallest Nopert at 7 vertices, but the smallest possible! We now know every solid with 6 or fewer vertices is Rupert. Noperts Drop: github.com/tom7/noperts The triforce and eponymous 7 are not a cheeky Easter egg—simply a beautiful property of math!

Looking forward to speaking at this, and excited for the rest of the talks - have had some sneak peaks and you are in for a real treat! Expect fun, shenanigans and a friendly community vibe. If you're in the UK and work with #Umbraco, you need to be here - LAST CHANCE!

Preparing for my talk at @umbraco.foundation (16 Oct) on using language models to find security issues in #Umbraco and #dotnet applications. Today I'll be intentionally building a super-insecure Umbraco application 🛠️🫣 2026.umbracofoundation.co.uk

I've been working on a little Entity/Component/System (ECS) game engine in C#/Monogame recently. I've blogged about the choices I've made, and how those choices have created issues for me further down the implementation process... www.liamlaverty.com/blogs/buildi... #gamedev #monogame #ecs

Hey @mattbrailsford.dev, now that github.com/umbraco/OurU... is archived, how do you pick up stuff for umb.fyi 's firehose?

www.etive-mor.com/blog/carlini... Carlini did a great talk at [un]prompted recently, detailing how Anthropic were using LLMs to automate software vulnerability discovery. I take a look at replicating his process in the Umbraco-CMS repository, for less than 1% the cost. #umbraco #security #llm #ai

Can a #LanguageModel paint? I've built an app which gets language models to paint a piece iteratively (one stroke at a time) rather than producing it in one-shot from a prompt. Not sure if this counts as #GenerativeArt www.etive-mor.com/blog/can-a-l... www.liamlaverty.com/paint-by-lan...

If you search for famous artists on #duckduckgo , they change their logo to match the result. On each result, the DDG logo is themed after the artist. Monet duck wears a flatcap, Van Gogh duck has a ginger beard, Dali duck has a thin moustache, and Kahlo duck is dressed in bright floral colours

This is really fascinating Wikipedia's list of linguistic and stylist "tells" of AI writing, the better to help editors recognize it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

In 2022/23 I did some research on #AI price setting algorithms. It's published here: www.etive-mor.com/blog/ai-coop... Throughout the research, models consistently colluded to undermine consumers. I'm hoping to recreate the research with LLMs as the economic agents in the near future.

I understand why people are concerned about space rock 2024-YR4, which by taking the cumulative impact probability of 0.28% and multiplying it by a velocity of 13,260 m/s has an expected damage of 37 m/s. But even more concerning to me is 2016 WN55’s expected damage of NaN!

When you look through Claude's output during coding sessions, you realise that an absolutely unreal amount of energy & GPU cycles are being dedicated to it grepping around the codebase.

Hey @codesharepaul.bsky.social, how do packages get listed on this site? psw.codeshare.co.uk

We welcome a new project to OpenSustain.tech #climate #sustainability #opensource #opensustain #openscience github.com/Etive-Mor/py...

We are opening a new chapter of ClimateTriage.com as part of the GitHub Climate Action Plan for Developers, presented at the San Francisco Climate Week. Together with GitHub, we are joining forces on a common mission: To get more developers involved in open source climate and sustainability projects
