Sharples

I know it's a "AI is a SaaS" thing, but I don't really enjoy the Performance vs Cost graphs. Give me a nice (Probably T)FLOP number please

It will be very funny actually if Web Cryptography falls to a Rainbow Table

I am feeling attacked

I need to read this book on Wavelets I own

Which programming languages use :> ?

why are floppy readers so annoying to find I just want a broken shell ffs

a reminder that Apple Music’s native iOS App still can’t cope with regaining network access, and requires a full close before it will notice it can access the servers again

my friends work on the coolest stuff

Honestly I get the people who buy a really good set of headphones and just sit in a room for hours listening.

I am staring at the Email Spec because I want to invert it

I think re AI and programming, they found their niche, and it is the industry that already had generative text as a system. But now instead of a database you can kinda interpret and interact with, it’s a vapid form of English that is built on every stack overflow answer

Intent to ship: JPEG XL! This will be on-by-default in Firefox 157, which should become the main release version at the end of September. This includes key JPEG XL features like progressive rendering. groups.google.com/a/mozilla.or...

The problem with the computer is that my brain can forget things quicker than I can write them down

Bluesky can I choose to not see trending please?

He’s busy

Painting is really cool, but I don’t know if people want to see how long it takes me to do a single #warhammer40000 miniature

I need more reasons to be motivated

I think breakfast is more of a “I’ll forget to have lunch” than a “I’m hungry first thing”

I think part of the problem with “The X handbook” for identifying trends, is that they’re not deliberately following that handbook. They’re doing what they feel is right and it just happens to follow those observations. They don’t have a name for it because they haven’t thought about it.

Friends are so smart and cool...

Bluesky is amazing in a very “We decentralised this so much that only third party apps consistently work” way

I am getting to a point where I'd rather GPT Written Text had a watermark on it, so I didn't have to insult people by having that Doubt in my mind about who wrote it.

Only those who do not seek power are qualified to hold it.

WWDC26 Keynote may have been boring, but if it truly has optimised a lot of their OSs, then I cannot say Golden Gate et al will be Bad

I think the graphs saying AI is more efficient than a human are excusing the fact that most uses for AI are competing against code. It’s reached levels of “I will not try and automate any of this, because the AI can muddle through it” that chimneysweeps would beg for

It’s amazing how averse to language people are, that there is an entire industry in using different words that people are less scared of, instead of saying “we’re going to charge people money for services”

Thinking about how "Definite" and "Indefinite" are about defining as an action. "You are defined by this pronoun" meaning "I know exactly who you're talking about", and then indefinite being "You could be a part of this but there's options" Rather than the royal we; "Me but I'm taking you down too"

The internet is in a constant conflict between hyper serious names and faces, and the measurably more personal chosen names and funny pfps.

Internet Providing Companies should be allowed to have their Devices sign requests with "Yes this person has a Credit Agreement and are therefore an adult, shut up" And if you don't want the kids to get auto-enrolled in that, maybe you have to enable it on their Dashboard

Google seem to be under the impression that they can just eat everyone’s websites forever, without the websites deciding to just delist themselves from Google because of the no traffic coming from them.

I’m so glad that Sandboxing Apps has been so popular for so long. Makes the AI Slop 10x less able to break things

Favourite subtitling errors are when it’s obviously grammatically wrong, but they didn’t check it

Daily bunny no.3285 made it home safely

Congrats about the space

Happy Trans Day of Visibility by btw

I’m yet to find a website genre more reminiscent of 00s browsers with too many toolbars than the humble cookery site. At this stage, there’s less browser than advert

I know it’s a joke, but Fictional Universes set in New York could have demolished the twin towers for any reason they want to. They don’t have to copy history 1:1

I love seeing more and more places replace their Bird with a Butterfly

"keep your productivity in tempo with what you knew you'd build anyway"

"Experiencing Interruptions?" Actually, I'm experiencing less. but thanks for asking, YouTube

I know that the Met Office doesn't do Weather for RoI, but I'd love it if they included it in their maps

I’m definitely the worst kind of inter-net person, because I’m happy to self implement most things in the stead of learning a new soft ware

I still do not understand the appeal of using Javascript as a Server language. And I do not understand the difficulty in using any other language...
