@kavehmd.bsky.social I really enjoyed your Matrix ep with @margaret.bsky.social

What wireless protocol is Olivia Rodrigo using for these excellent stadium effects?

My bsky feed is all sadness. Is there a way to make it show me more fun things?

Since Opus 5, claude code has been occasionally printing random chinese characters in its output. This morning I got a huge dump: half a line from my stuff then screenfull of someone's javascript UI tasklist in chinese. I imagine someone else must be getting random globs of my session output? No?

Are data center builders just straight up bribing local governments? I don’t get why projects are approved over such strong public opposition.

Maybe just back off with the evaporative cooling in data centers and spend some money for AC units and solar farms. People would be fine with this.

The Colbert public access show from Monroe, Michigan is really the best TV show.

30 percent of Americans are against [squints at notes] the Pope urging peace

Wind storm was not kind to my solar project

This would get me to watch the Olympics.

This account is great.

I am a pedantry enjoyer. Someone misspelled sieve. Maybe.

It’s very cold here today, but quite sunny. Apparently my batteries are hotter than the sun. I think it’s a sign.

Got a handmade Gopher for Christmas.

AI spam/troll posts are now so effective that experts are fooled and chaos reigns.

I really enjoyed this video @wired.com published about into to computing questions youtu.be/PZ_ebxkNZmo?.... Nice work @schasins.bsky.social.

EVs making a subtle, shifting musical chord sound so we know they are there? Great idea. Good job car companies who do this.

Once again @theonion.com continues to delight.

@felixge.de hey there, it’s been a minute, but our interests continue to align. Would you be up for a chat with me and some colleagues about Go profiling? We are DD customers, but this is some lower level stuff we are dealing with.

Riding horses with my boys

Needs more paint.

I took another Waymo in Tempe, AZ today. These things continue to be amazing. Nice job @johnkrafcik.bsky.social

Japan seems fine with AI surveillance

@daveanthony.bsky.social I keep thinking that j-town is funny. I know that opinions differ on the matter.

My son and I went to the @computerhistory.bsky.social museum and it was great.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Markets alone are not enough. We live in community whether we acknowledge it or not. newrepublic.com/article/1596...

Slack is down, which doesn’t happen very often. Easy to forget how deeply integrated Slack is into many workplaces.

SLOs are good and more people are using them now which is also good. But what verb should we use for going outside of an SLO? I like “blow” as in, “as GC crept up, we blew our SLO”.

It’s weird that I’m slowly turning into a LLM apologist. Obviously there are tremendous risks for humanity here, but LLMs are also a very useful innovation with real human benefit. I liked this podcast ep: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

The National Science Foundation gave us the internet.

@jamieloftus.bsky.social your Bryan Gaw interview was great. I sat in the car in the parking lot to finish the whole thing.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

@williebhines.bsky.social I enjoy “on it” from the other platform, but I would rather put my energy here. Do you on it troll here as well?

We failed to stop fascism's rise. Now it's dancing about on the White House lawn. I don't know how to fix all this but I do know that the shit we've been doing won't get us out of this one. shatterzone.substack.com/p/we-failed-...

All US social networks are banned in China. The Chinese government controls the entire internet there. This is not a trustworthy government.

I did this hike recently and it was great. youtu.be/BREF3EcUkjc?...

Meant to be optimistic, but my kid’s middle school gym banner is kind of dark.

@airplanefaxwithmax.bsky.social have you talked about girt bars and “arming” doors? I think I get it, but I like your explanations.
