I'm glad somebody out there is brave enough to push back against the "personal ChatGPT usage is terrible for the environment" message andymasley.substack.com/p/a-cheat-sh...

Babe wake up, French Scooby Doo / Clifford crossover just dropped.

Wow. This Benson Boone performance of Bohemian Rhapsody at Coachella is incredible. That flip off the piano! Check it out

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

OMG. “After DOGE gained access to NLRB’s systems, there was an increase in attempted logins from locations outside the US, including a user with a Russian IP address. The person with the Russian IP address appeared to have a correct username and password, created minutes earlier by DOGE engineers.”

People will often say to me "can you not go one week without improving dramatically"

"Dress for the job you want." I'd like to be a, nay *the*, gardener.

Considering using this as my LinkedIn photo. I really love job searching. 🙃

I hate when I’m literally standing at my standing desk like I have been for at least 50 minutes and my Apple Watch is like “hmm you should try STANDING sometime." Like bruh, I'm trying my best here.

23andMe is going under. Californians have the right to delete their genetic data before it's turned over to next party buying the assets. If you have a 23andMe account, go log in to download whatever reports you want to save, then follow these instructions to delete your data.

I wrote "Exploring Ruby Ractors: I paid for 10 cores, I'm gonna use 10 cores!" I had fun exploring #ruby 3.4 #Ractors for true concurrency. They work, but #YJIT is the real MVP. My slow #docker results remain a mystery. I'd love to know if anyone else has seen similar. Check it out! 🤠💎

How much brain microplastic comes from inside peanut butter jar?

Happy 311 day to those who celebrate! 🙃

I’ve noticed a trend, and even done it myself a time or two, but… One of the most insufferable parts of the rise of LLMs is people who see a post or a question or whatever, paste it into an LLM, and the respond with “I asked an LLM” and paste the output.

This is a very good technical explainer on LLMs. It explains exactly what modern LLMs are and how they work. Highly recommended watching. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xTG...

This was a cool sight on a recent road trip. Pink phone booths in the snow!

I blame msnbc for making this app so much less fun, every time they plug it a couple million of the least fun ppl in america log on and start telling everyone else how to post

as a technologist I cannot overstate how bad these people are at being technologists
