The Sketch blog has become the one thing you need to read—along with @simonwillison.net—to keep the pulse of LLM-assisted development. Senior engineers putting in the work and giving no-bullshit perspectives. Read this one by @crawshaw.io through. Not skim or half. Especially if you are a skeptic.

There is a price to pay when you discount pandemic risk, when you act like COVID was a one off event. This stupidity over mRNA is part of it www.statnews.com/2025/06/02/m...

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

A simple stats mistake leading the head of the NHS to dismiss the importance of her own organisation. Analogy: access to clean drinking water shows no explanatory value for the variation in health outcomes in the UK. We all have it, so it drives no variation. But it’s still critically important!

One thing I admired Americans for was they provided efficient and effective aid for people around the world. I thought this made America great. The PEPFAR program saved plausibly about 25 million lives and prevented at least 5.5 million babies from being born with HIV. See: pepfarreport.org

i think that the quality of discourse in the software industry would be a lot better off if programmers were a bit more willing to admit that sometimes we just do stuff because we like it, instead of because it's objectively good or bad.

One asymmetrical factor in this trade war. While comparatively few Americans seem to care, they have pissed off every single Canadian (except, apparently, surrenderer-in-chief Danielle Smith). Motivated people can accept a lot of pain in the pursuit of what they perceive as a just cause.

Any countries whose scientific research funding bodies are NOT currently under siege by their own national leadership would do very well announcing investments in bringing in foreign research talent right now

Okay. Canadians are all reeling from these tariff announcements. Many people are anxious. What’s the silver lining here? Buy local—grow local business. Grow Canadian industry and new export relationships. What else?
