Drawn to climate change, science, red wine, problem-solving, philosophy and painting. Lover of Bluesky, blue cheese and a fine Coonawarra Cabernet. I like William of Ockham.
@sethmlarson.dev deprecation warnings should lead to removal of the feature to a separate library which is still available but with a built-in delay to slow things down and cause complaints. It wouldn't be long before such delays got their own *#$×%@^!! nickname and users let suppliers know!

Riddle me this. What access have you already granted to AI, SaaS, apps etc.?

Great organisations have 100% coverage of secrets, can revoke them at any time and mitigate risk by regularly rotating secrets and by using short-lived tokens wherever they can.
For privacy and security, think twice before granting AI access to your personal data | TechCrunch
AI chatbots, assistants and agents are increasingly asking for gross levels of access to your personal data under the guise of needing your information to make them work.

The wet tropical rainforests of Queensland are now a carbon source because CO₂ emitted from trees dying and decaying outstripped the CO₂ taken up by trees growing. 😕
Australia's tropical trees emit more carbon than they absorb: study
Climate change is killing trees faster than they can be replaced leading to greater carbon emissions, according to a new study.

BECCS — attempting to capture CO₂ from biomass-burning plants and storing it underground — is the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technique that has sold the most credits. But its climate benefits may be overstated, it could incentivize deforestation, and the carbon accounting might be distorted.
Big Tech’s big bet on a controversial carbon removal tactic
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage can scale faster than other approaches. But some experts are dubious about the climate benefits.

New paper alert 🚨 🌊

The Southern Ocean and the Arctic are freshening. In our new paper we link, for the first time, such freshening to sea ice decline through salinity and stable oxygen isotopes observations and machine learning techniques.

My use case was that I was working on an AIR app that needed to be able to display arbitrary single-file React apps

Though not just any apps, but trusted ones made by my 6-year-old who's partial to vibe-coding with Claude Sonnet 4 at the moment

Silicon sealants and adhesives give off carcinogenic chemicals while curing after exposure to the atmosphere.

It seems the only reasonable protection is excellent ventilation. Might be worth sharing with family and friends.
