www.bbc.com/news/article... "A complex problem that took microbiologists a decade to get to the bottom of has been solved in just two days by a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool." (Google AI co-scientist) What an amazing use of AI! 🤯🤩🎉

The rise of LLMs will only cement TypeScript & Python’s position at the top of the “what is most useful and hireable in the widest sense” list.

I can't figure out if Oracle is being a bully or just a clown with its latest response to the petition to release the JavaScript trademark. I signed the open letter to them along with more than 1600 others. Add your support 👉 javascript.tm/signatories See the latest 👉 deno.com/blog/deno-v-...

POV: trying to find a room in a rush at #FOSDEM

Happy to see a whole load of local and cloud LLM talks at #FOSDEM. I will post what I can muster.

@zahrataiba.bsky.social welcome 🙏 Happy to see you here.

Not enough people are talking about val.town. It has replaced pretty much all diagram/prototyping tools for me because you can just…build the thing and play with it to see if it works.

I'm not sure the arguments for TDD live on in a post-LLM world. I always disliked TDD zealotry so this doesn't sadden me. TDD was useful for defining interfaces upfront, but the people that decried any code written before tests were damaging to the whole movement.

I tried to see how Kling v1.6 would handle the trolley problem. But it just backed away slowly.

I can’t remember the last time I lost code-related work. And yet twice tonight I’ve lost progress with audio production. These software synths are meant to be creative tools and yet they make you fearful of experiments in case you forever lose which exact combo of buttons you twiddled.

Can’t believe we actually got the butler from Ask Jeeves

TIL Atuin sync is backed with Elixir. No real surprise it works incredibly well.

Yes. And the only way to fix that is learning new things again, which will be fun - I promise.

LLMs, great for pasting in club promoter listings and asking what genres to expect. I don’t know why electronica is so collectively bad at putting that info on the flyer. How to avoid a house night 101.

Agreed “LLMs are bad”, “LLMs give you junk”, are all just various forms of skill issue.

What I’ve been calling “carbon leverage”: “if AI helps bring forward the electrification of heating, transport and industry by a single year, that would more than offset any negative climate impact from its own relatively limited power demand.”

We chose the best weekend to visit family in North Wales. I can tell you it’s a “little bit windy”.
