Twitter is like that planet destroying weapon on the Death Star, but its energy source is stupidity and when harnessed can destroy countries. The left is mad because the right figured out how to use it at scale first. Europe needs to switch it off or be destroyed by American culture war crossfire.

Oh interesting. Maybe the AI bubble isn't as big as they think ... Good news for future emissions being not quite so high then.

This I know: Russia started the war with Ukraine. And I’m ashamed that the US voted against the UN resolution asserting this truth.

Today marks three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine A war that is not only about Ukraine's sovereignty.

A very accessible discussion for those not knee deep but keen to understand the potential & limitations of #AI tools in scientific research (me). Since I lean optimistic, I especially appreciated the more cautionary points of @carlbergstrom.com & @jevinwest.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

My son showed me the YouTube videos that are trending in his high school. YouTube is full of shit and idiots. This is why we can't have nice things.

Tomorrow marks 80 years since the liberation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We will never forget the 6 million Jews murdered in cold blood and all the victims of the Holocaust.

In my most recent job I've been working in the CIO team and it's interesting to see how the technological vision changes. Very different from the "let's build everything ourselves" attitude from lots of startups.

Just played Elden Ring for the first time. Anything that moves in that game will try (and probably succeed) to kill you. I guess Australia is something like that.

The book that @sarna.dev and I co-authored on writing engineering blog posts is now published. And it’s flanked by the best imaginable “bookends”: a foreword by @bcantrill.bsky.social and an afterword by @scott.hanselman.com! Details and Amazon/Manning links at bit.ly/3AVPWn9.

So I've been notified that my role is at risk. Would anybody like to hire a me. I've spent the last 7 years as chief architect, which realistically meant doing every job from infrastructure to product and occasionally acting CTO. I am interested in everything, and curious to try new things.

It's nice to see how many Identity Management solutions exist nowadays. Some years ago everybody had to bake their own, and not always to great success. Hopefully we'll see increased security standards in the following years.

Bluesky is proof that cryptocurrency isn't a core tenant of decentralization. The team demonstrated extreme levels of pragmatism by leveraging new and existing technologies to produce something people actually use.
