I hate having web.whatsapp open - its like 1 gig of memory burning up in my browser. It reminds me quite vividly of this notorious BBC internal business system I was having to use around 2015 that literally crippled the BBC issued laptop I was using - nice hardware, terrible windows iso.

Blue Sky lacks solid AI chat - I wish that stuff would leave the other site for here. Is AI manosphere only? They'll fuck it up for sure - do you even academia Bro? Typing this whilst getting debilitatingly rate-limited by Anthropic, just need spell check an email that is pretty concise rn

Re: Charli XCX, Glastonbury. No special guests - if there had been then that would have been the headline - she wants a conversation instead. Lot of people surprised by the not bothering to lip-sync & autotune. I mean, brat? Puts to bed the question of why she wasn't headlining the pyramid stage.

Mark Hoppus's claim about using ultrasonic drone signals to catch Saddam Hussein. Broadcasting time codes in the ultrasonic spectrum from drones to triangulate Hussein's location would require MASSIVE amounts of energy. Secondly, video compression codecs filter out ultrasonic frequencies.

Google Agentspace feels like a product there to protect existing SaaS unicorns from disruption. Executives in the Workspace ecosystem will love it, there employees less so. Just my hot take. I haven't used it- only see a product demo.

RealPlayer is 30 years old! In the dial up days it was the only feasible way to stream audio. I recall in about 1997, Belle and Sebastian had a 30-second preview of every track they had released just up on there website - it was was mind blowing. I picked up some of the original EPs because of it.

Can I just say - typescript - the tooling and ecosystem - complete mess - that is my perspective as somebody just walking into from python - all the struggles that users has with CommonJS and ESM have been digested and baked into the LLMs, so they struggle with it too.

People of Bluesky. Replit is terrible. Please don't use Replit. Its just marketing hype. If you want to learn how to build systems with little coding knowledge, its Cursor for better or for worse. If you can code already Augment Code is the tool. Anything else is just X Twitter lies.

Claude 3.7 - both a blessing and a curse. It found an edge case I hadn't known about and provided a fix which worked straight off the bat. The downside is that its over engineering everything to hell and doing stuff I haven't instructed it to do.

Kind of annoying that you can't upload CSV's or Json into ChatGPT 01 - you can sort of get around that via the App by 'side-loading' them through whatever ai-enriched fork of VSCode is trending that week. Still massively thinking about going full on Claude instead though - as OpenAI API's is fine.

I'm going to have a give up on my backend codebase and completely start again fresh. Being a n00b, I didn't even know the difference between CommonJS and ESM and all the tooling I've used was CommonJS. Thanks ChatGPT. Heart breaking.

Something I do miss from twitter is my list of reliable posters on Web3 and AI tooling. Given that its such a shilly, engagement bait space I'm guessing the Xodus is going to take its sweet time until anybody reliable moves over.

I’ve got a funny feeling that with the Trump administration incoming, IPFS might suddenly gain traction as a storage platform for activists. However, it’s a double-edged sword—I’ve long believed it could also be the perfect vehicle for blackmail.

Leaving twitter won’t solve our systemic disinformation problems.
We need governments around the world to take it seriously and the UK could lead the way.
I’m not a huge fan of petitions but what else can we do?

Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation
We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?
