Never rains but it pours! First Cloudflare, now Github's Git operations suffers a 'major outage'.

AWS last month, taking out half the net. And Cloudflare today (although relatively brief) effectively doing the same. 🤔 The fate of many, in the hands of a few.

One of the most satisfying feelings..? Closing multiple tabs after spending hours, sometimes days solving a problem. 👍

I still love my Zoom H4n pro, but boy does it eat AA batteries! Powering it with a 10000mAh power bank via USB to power cord saves me worrying about battery failure during longer recording sessions, and saves a ton on AA batteries.

Encrypting your data prior to upload can nerf so much of big tech's nefarious AI practices. A drive to offer users convenient, native data encryption is desperately needed.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Absolutely incredible performances from everyone in #Adolescence.

Standout performance from the kid that plays Jamie, Owen Cooper.
