Ash's quote about the alien in Alien explains the AI threat in a nutshell: "I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality"

Why can't I book a GP appointment online?

Giving Kimi a spin tonight, so far so good.

A new lowest low for the current administration www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

After a week of Claude Code bullshit, I think its time to give OpenAI Codex a spin.

I fly a fair bit and Dublin airport security is very slow today. Plan accordingly. 30 mins extra would not be excessive.

Sport deranges people sometimes. The same people who'd abuse an Irish singer if they went to Eurovision and feel all righteous about it, will be all "Ahhhh but the poor wee football lads want to win points and the poor fellas can't be expected to stand up and not play. Sure they love the football!"

hey @anthropic.com : "✻ Waiting for API response · will retry in 1m 20s · check your network". Its never my network...

Claude Code should be renamed Claude API Error.

Shell ad from a 1999 National Geographic in unintentionally hilarious in hindsight

gocar.ie : Disastrous registration experience. It allows you to register with a password longer than 14 characters and then caps all login and password reset fields to its limit of 14 characters. Its like a farce wrapped in an idiot bag.

Oh good god, my life is an infinity of validations

Virgin Media Ireland has a new bot answering service which is frankly terrible. To get anything done I recommend requesting account cancellation. This will get you through to a real person lickety split.

Virgin Media on the fritz in Dublin. Again.

Here are SecantusDB.com performance figures vs MongoDB. We compare the Rust and Python servers.

We now test SecantusDB.com against Pymongo, Java, Ruby, Rust, Java and PHP drivers for MongoDB. With over 97% coverage of all driver calls that hit a server. SecantusDB is a plug in replacement for MongoDB running as a single node or an embeddable service (no daemon required).

Fable + ultracode = a bazillion tokens consumed, two hours of elapsed time and zero progress.

@paulca.com Nice to see @redmonk.com using Tito

There are lies, damned lies, statistics and the lies the Aer Lingus app tells you about departure times

Paris CDG, an airport constantly surprised by the arrival of passengers.

Currently build a pure Rust version of secantusdb.com. This will eliminate GIL bottlenecks. It still has the WiredTiger storage backend.

So I think the new it's not AI move might be typos and grammatical errors

Competition is dead

This article in The Journal remains the best piece telling this story by just setting out the numbers. www.thejournal.ie/snapshot-of-...

Today I am mostly getting my bollocks boiled in Paris

We have released several updates to Verity, our tool to minimise AI hallucinations. v0.3.0 --> www.iccl.ie/digital-data... Free for researchers, campaigners, legislators, litigators, reporters to use, adapt, and improve.

Slowly ramping up rust driver test coverage for SecantusDB.com. Now at 66 tests passing and more to come.

Just added testing of the MongoDB Rust Driver to SecantusDB.com. It wheedled out another few minor bugs in the server.

The right factoring 100x not 2x

These days I am mostly working on SecantusDB.com

Love MongoDB but hate the license. Take a look at Secantusdb.com. Fully embeddable and fully compatible. Tested against all the most popular drivers. No replica sets, no sharding but otherwise just like MongoDB. Strictly beta, no production workloads Vibers!

Claude Code pretty unusable at the moment. Constant : "API Error: Server is temporarily limiting requests (not your usage limit) · Rate limited". Time to give Gemini a spin.

Successive Irish governments have refused to adequately protect our marine ecosystems, feigning concern while in reality acting in the interests of those getting rich from ecocide. Now the EU has had enough, and begun legal proceedings against the state. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Stop saying successive Irish governments, when you mean Fine Gael and Fianna Fail in coalition. The same government has done pretty much nothing about anything for the past 20 yrs.

What is the cockology with suppliers where I email them and they insist on calling me back. Then they leave a message saying to call them. So I can leave a message etc. etc.

Farcical that no solar company will upgrade existing installations with more panels,theirs or others.

This is why we can't have nice things on social media

This is gonna be cool. I alway wanted an embeddable MongoDB secantusdb.com
