All the craziness of the latest Kushner story aside, here we have yet another example of the Dutch intelligence services punching massively above their weight. The Dutch government has called for the creation of a European Five Eyes - take us up on the offer, I would say.

🗺️ Mapsui 5.2.0-beta.1 is released. It is now possible to use SkiaSharp 4. Mapsui still builds against 3.119.4, so you opt in by referencing SkiaSharp 4 explicitly in your own project. This works for MAUI and Avalonia 12. github.com/Mapsui/Mapsu... @platform.uno @avaloniaui.net @dot.net

Microsoft being a huge OpenAI investor has nothing to do with this?

From now on, any interview with him that doesn’t end like this should shame the interviewer for ever. And yet because he & his backers have corrupted so much of the media, it takes proper courage to do it.

Oh yeah, Copilot and I having fun late Monday night. This is how we roll.

New token optimization strategy: Add docfx metadata to the markdown files and use scripts to add only that to the context in the early phase.

It looks like I have to adjust the way I use AI. My monthly Copilot costs will increase ten fold in June

Former CIA Officer, Sean Wiswesser: Meddling in American elections is one of areas American public and our allies don’t understand how Russian intelligence services operate. Their goal is to get Americans to do, what we’ve done since 2016: fight and argue with each other.

In theorie is alle raadsinformatie van de Huizen openbaar. In de praktijk is het een wirwar van PDF-bestanden. Geïnspireerd door o.a. @berthubert.bsky.social heb ik de "Huizen RIS Monitor" gemaakt. Gebouwd met Python en broncode volledig op GitHub. Check het hier: rubenwoudsma.nl/open-data-hu...

In de #DigiD-zaak schuiven politici de hete aardappel vooruit, om de autocraat in het Witte Huis niet voor het hoofd te stoten, en er is een gebrek aan politieke en ambtelijke moed om dit tegen te gaan. Dat is onaanvaardbaar, we stappen naar de rechter. www.thefirewall.eu/artikelen/we...

Now seems as good a time as any to post this... I've handed in my notice at Google. I'll be working to the end of June, with my final employment date being July 7th. I don't have anything lined up yet in terms of my next role, but I'm starting some conversations. Feel free to get in touch :)

Anthropic is testing only making Claude Code available in their $100/month or higher plans. Another sign that we’re hitting the Uber moment for AI tools and everyone’s stopping subsidizing tokens. With data center capacity at a premium, they don’t need to attract more users. It’s monetization time

It is so easy to rebuild things that took a lot of effort years ago. This morning I pasted the description of a simulation I worked on in 1999 into Claude and it rebuilt it in one go pauldendulk.github.io/evolutionofa...

What happens when the cost of creating software, legal drafting, data analysis, translation, or customer support is free or close to it? So much opportunity and also disruption. This is like reading about a strange flu-like illness in Wuhan in 2019. A harbinger of massive disruption to our lives.

Een klassiek besluit van de regering: we gaan toch gewoon naar Amerika met de #btw! Mogelijk gemaakt door een berg analyses waarom dat best veilig zou zijn. Tot zover de droom dat dit kabinet werk zou maken van digitale soevereiniteit. Dat was sneller voorbij dan gedacht! berthub.eu/tkconv/docum...

@patriksvensson.se I've got Copilot writing a bug fix for Spectre Console for a bug we found in Aspire. I already told it that you don't like its type:

OpenAI ceding the enterprise space to Anthropic while focused on consumers but not prioritizing an advertising business are two big strategic missteps. What this article misses is that Claude isn’t just going to disrupt coding, it’s going to disrupt white collar work. Coding just came first.

Als de coalitie hier morgen tegen stemt is het overigens wel over met de digitale soevereiniteitsambities van deze regering. Deze beslissing is nog niet uitgevoerd & kan eenvoudig teruggedraaid worden. Als je dit al niet wil doen, dan gaan ingrijpendere soevereiniteitsmaatregelen ook niet gebeuren!
