Bats of Bluesky

I sure did not expect Gemini to spill the beans in response to my request for a cooking timer. And yet it did. Maybe it thinks I speak JavaScript. The timer sure works.
@kevlin.bsky.social does this quality as one? Software revealing its guts not just in failure? 🤔

I'm loving the new e-ink displays that are appearing across Stockholm's SL public transport network. They are sharp, clear, work high contrast and low power consumption.

I'm a little confused by this information from Gemini about the lack of end-to-end encryption. I'm pretty sure the only reason to not encrypt is do that Google can see the message...

A smear of butter, a glimpse into chaos. Nature’s fractals show up where we least expect them — even on a knife blade.

Perfect spot to review some #XPconf submissions.

One company seems to integrate their IT systems with the help of carrier pigeons.

hat else could explain this?!

Internet upgrade arrived. Moving over to WiFi 6 and a more robust gateway.

Almost anywhere I look there is an opportunity for the software we're interacting with to get better.
Here, something as simple as sort order is missing.
I think some of this is related to the fact that quality professionals are undervalued. What else? I can't see AI fixing any of this.

Into time 👋🏻

I'm Marcin, I have lived in a few countries across Europe, now in 🇸🇪🫎Sweden and loving it here.

I'm a 👨🏻‍💻 software engineer who got curious about 👥people too and became a manager. I've been in leadership positions for the best part of the last two decades, most recently at 🎧🎶📱Spotify.

ChatGPT still can't count the number of jars we made from the apples in the garden. Gemini only attempted the count after I told it ChatGPT can't do it. It counted 20. Computer vision still has some way to go. #AI #ChatGPT #computerVision

The days are clearly getting shorter, and the sun is lower above the horizon. A new season is clearly making its way to Sweden.

I really hope we can find out how to apply AI for slightly more meaningful tasks. I would also like to stop wasting water and energy for such use cases.

Andrea Provaglio talks about the multiple ways in which Tayloristic thinking "like water" surrounds us without our awareness. It permeates everything we're doing.

Very cool to see 10M users here. I still haven't figured out how to engage here well but I'm glad the engagement is bringing more people in.

When an app crashes and the desktop wallpaper is the way you know.
It's the 🗑️ that's the give away.

I'm curious what made Google folks think that translating local place names would be a good idea. The "Danzig Oliva" is really "Gdańsk Oliva" and would make way more sense like this.

Google is probably considering this a compliment but I'm not swimming that fast, let alone walking on water 🤦🏻‍♂️

Windows pop-ups appear in the most unexpected of places. This one made it all the way to an escalator.
