Hearing Peter Thiel described as traditional conservative / arch-conservative at the keynote of #PubConf2025 (while mentioning his stances against democracy, women's rights, etc.): Historian here, you can call him a fascist. https://thomaszimmer.substack.com/p/the-reactionary-right-mobilizes […]

It's interesting how the major LLM API vendors are converging on the following features: - Code execution: Python in a sandbox - Web search - like Anthropic, Mistral seem to use Brave - Document library aka hosted RAG - Image generation (FLUX for Mistral) - MCP MIstral today […]

The Emperor's New Clothes is probably the book that bothered me the most as a child. It just didn't make any sense to me. Couldn't people see that he was naked? It took me over fifty years to finally "get" it.

Pete Hegseth orders that a ship named for Harvey Milk be renamed, and intentionally does this at the beginning of Pride Month. What a bigot. https://archive.ph/2025.06.03-171503/https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/06/03/hegseth-orders-navy-strip-name-of-gay-rights-icon-harvey-milk-ship.html

Yesterday Elon's story was that his toddler gave him the black eye. The rumor was that it was from Cut-Rate Goebbels Stephen Miller because Elon was messing around with Miller's wife. Today the story is it was from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after Elon […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

"We mostly don’t want to read the docs, but we do want to converse with them. When we build search interfaces for our docs, we have always tried to anticipate search intentions. People aren’t just looking for words; they need to use the material to solve problems and get things done. When you […]

Now that we know the TACO thing bugs the fuck out of Trump, a coherent left media machine would swing into action & make sure that every single left-of-center person on a TV shore or podcast used that term repeatedly for the next several weeks, making it inescapable.

My LLM command-line tool and Python library now has support for tool calling! You can define tools as Python functions or bundle them in plugins, and LLM can then make them available to models. OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Ollama are supported so far […]

"We should close the fish market it's too industrial" This mentality in NYC drives me nuts. Markets are the whole purpose of even having a city. When you decide the *markets* are too industrial for the city you have totally forgotten what the point of the city even is. It's bad enough that most […]

It's pretty rare to find a tech publication/personality these days that doesn't still use, and by extension promote, X/Twitter. I'd wager that most of the indie web proponents whose names you know are still posting on X. So it was refreshing to discover today […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Tydligt inslag m källkritik som fokus på rapport just nu. Fokus på falsifieringen som Trump gör, till falsifieringen, bedrägeriet, inte på idioten själv.

https://www.dn.se/ekonomi/rekordstor-hojning-av-elnatsavgifterna-i-ar/ massivt misslyckande för Sverige. De redan stora aktörerna får berätta en historia om ”vad som behövs” för x. Decentraliserad förmåga får inte sin berättigade ’chans’ att bidraga.
