Petition: Make all court and tribunal transcripts available free of charge

If I were Anthropic I'd add a clause to the T&Cs about terminating Claude Code accounts for bringing them into disrepute when you publish slop like this CloudFlare blog 🫠
Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable.

This is obviously a play on the Trump post but what I don't get is why they think the 'Nihilist Penguin' meme appeals to the London electorate? Or for that matter even know what it is.
It used to be said that the left was far too 'online', but it seems that this is increasingly (more) so for the right nowadays.

OpenAI should ask Unity how their plans for per-install licensing fees went down with developers
OpenAI has absolutely zero ideas. They have no business. This is not a real business line and it’s so utterly vague and specious, I’m shocked at the credulousness to just print it without saying “there is no logical way this works of course” or talking about how the CFO of OpenAI is saying nonsense

This is reminding me of when Sainsbury's supermarket chain in the UK ran an advertising campaign called "Feed a family for £50 per week" and the example meals plan they'd worked out would eventually starve the family to death.
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

Those of you merging Claude Code PRs without looking - are you going to accept responsibility when something goes wrong? Or are you going to pass the buck like the Chief Constable here?

The @iwf.org.uk posting on X today about the dangers of AI generated abuse content and getting 80 views there whilst not posting here shows the idiocy of the government's policy - no one is listening to you there
Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.
"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."
"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

It's been a bit of a challenge trying to model this system, which is ostensibly digital but in reality a bunch of PDFs/Word docs. We've tried to put in structure and the feedback was "it's all a bit clicky". Turns out the officers just want to copy/paste text from previous decision documents.
We're working on a system for local council planning officers and trying to adopt delegated types as we expand it to cover things like enforcement and building control and like Jeff said it's better to start from the beginning than migrate 😅

Interesting that Fizzy doesn't seem to follow this pattern though there's some references to it in the commit history. Wonder why that was? Perhaps the intention make the source available made them adopt a more traditional Rails pattern?

Pretty sure I have a small glass fragment in my foot but the sharp pain once or twice day is more bearable than the thought of trying to navigate A&E at the hospital - I mean, it'll come out eventually right?

Saw a post that the new self-hosted runner charge on GitHub Actions is going to cost them around $1000 per year for just one product team 😬
(That does seem a lot but I think it includes smoke tests that run every 15minutes)

I assume the person who wrote this wasn't including hospital porters and cleaners in "skilled frontline workers" yet they're every bit as vital to a functioning NHS as nurses and doctors.

I've always tended to avoid using the vcr gem, preferring to use webmock directly as it's easy to abuse it to record everything. However it comes into its own when recording embedding generation for pgvector based searches - no-one wants to mock vectors with 1024 dimensions 😅
