🧵Out Now! Tiny Moments of Joy: Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand

It's officially live!
Today's the launch day for Tiny Moments of Joy and we couldn't be happier to share the news with you.
You can get your copy here:

The first image is the cover of Tiny Moments of Joy: Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand. It's a deep pink colour with a white and orange serif font. There is a border of pale ferns and the vibe is of calm and chill, maybe invoking the desire for a cosy chair and a cup of your favourite beverage... and hopefully ca The second image is of the inside of a book, propped open at the middle by a ceramic red loveheart and a bunch of stones that were found on a beach in Golden Bay a few months ago. I knew they'd come in handy. Rocks are the best souvenirs. The book's interior is white paper with black writing, centred with a vignette per page. Looking at this picture, you now know that this is not an illustrated book, the words draw the pictures, but you get the impression that you will not need pictures because you will enjoy these words very much.

NZ First MPs keep proposing laws they have no intention of passing, and the media falls for it every time.

This Labour Day, Aotearoa, try to live up to the dignified and respectable example of those worthy workers who first banded together in 1840 and politely requested to work only an 8-hour day.

Then threw anyone who crossed the line into the harbour
Samuel Parnell | NZ History
Labour Day, a public holiday in New Zealand since 1900, is a suitable occasion to pay tribute to Samuel Parnell, who achieved fame as the founder of the eight-hour working day in New Zealand.

At this point conditional breakpoints aren't supported in version 26.0 and later due to necessary changes in the platform. We're investigating this issue and will update the documentation accordingly.

I guess I'll have to also make a business informed choice not to buy the game until it includes the DLCs for free.

The decision to lock two of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2’s six clans behind a DLC add-on pack is a “business” informed choice, publisher Paradox has said. #gamescom2025

On our 2nd day in New Zealand we came to the library and got library cards for all 4 of us. It was then and until closure a warm safe space in the city, where we would stop and unwind (and load up on books). I missed it and will be happy when it is back!

GREAT NEWS! Our wonderful library, Te Matapihi, has reached a huge milestone with construction work now finally finished. On time and on budget. It'll re-open in March 2026. For me, this marks an exciting future for Wellington where we'll start to see parts of our city open back up again. #nzpol

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

Good thing no one uses Microsoft Excel for anything related to legal, regulatory or compliance business functions

www.theverge.com/news/761338/...
Microsoft Excel adds Copilot Al to help ... theverge.com The Verget-4.1-mini Al model | 5 successor to the LABS.GENERATIVEAI function Microsoft started experimenting with in 2023. Microsoft notes that you can combine its new Al function with other Excel functions, including IF, SWITCH, LAMBDA, or WRAPROWS. The company adds that information sent through Excel's COPILOT function is "never" used for AI training, as "the input remains confidential and is used solely to generate your requested output." The COPILOT function comes with a couple of limitations, as it can't access information outside your spreadsheet, and you can only use it to calculate 100 functions every 10 minutes. Microsoft also warns against using the AI function for numerical calculations or in “high-stakes scenarios” with legal, regulatory, and compliance implications, as COPILOT "can give incorrect responses."

If you go to check your enrolment on vote.nz and find that the website claims you are not enrolled: before you freak out, delete the "city" and "postcode" optional fields and try again

Autocollete broke this for me

It's bad website UX, but not evidence of fuckery

Hi! I have two free copies of THE SUNFORGE and one free copy of THE DAWNHOUNDS to give away. You must have a New Zealand postal address. To enter, just retweet this with a quote from your favourite SF/F released in the last five years.
The cover of The Dawnhounds, showing a fungal city, and a ship sailing into the dawn mist. "Intensely humane and beautiful ... Stronach makes the impossible look easy ... I loved it" -- Tamsyn Muir The cover of The Sunforge, showing three figures in silhouette, standing on a hillside above a burning city. "A feverish cosmic knot ... absolutely compelling" -- Seth Dickinson

Idk but it feels like JuCo claiming the reason the penalties for TPM were so extraordinarily severe was that it was argued they could have intimidated MPs in their votes, when in fact the votes had already been recorded, should be a fucking big deal.

Bernard Hickey: The Govt’s retrospective law wrecks 33 pay equity deals. $17 billion in wages & back-pay will not now go to over 150,000 workers. That means the $14 billion of tax cuts going mostly to landlords & highest earners are being paid for by wage cuts for the poorest NZers, mostly women.

One last LLM AI post. For the night In general, history has not been kind to people who have argued some variation on, “ignoring the moral dimension for a moment, lets talk about the utility of (X).” It’s frequently not an immediate kind of judgment, but it is an inexorable one.
