It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Kinda weird that the network owned by the company whose CEO is the son of the chairman of one of the big AI data center providers would go all in on AI as a focus of their reporting. I’m sure they’ll be completely objective in their reporting, right? Right?

WWDC is just not hitting the same this year. Maybe it’s the belief that people really do want the contrived demos they showed in the keynote. Or maybe it’s the way that you’re expected to pony up Deity knows how much money for AI tokens to use all the new fancy agentic development tools.

Participated in the EV Owners Circle at the Santa Barbara Earth Day celebration today. Had a good time talking with folks about the Rivian, and the gentleman next to me showing his 71 Beetle to EV conversion

Tonight the party in this D&D game is getting beaten up by a spider dragon, which is not particularly embarrassing, and by menacing candles, which is very embarrassing. The candles are upsetting and I think some writer at Wizards of the Coast had a very bad experience at Anthropologie.

A very well-reasoned discussion of LLM use in software development. TLDR; if your development process is bad, no amount of LLM assistance is going to help you get high quality software out the door any faster (and likely will make it worse)

I rarely think about the cognitive load when I’m out on my bike. But if drivers had to devote that much of their attention to not being injured or killed, while trying to get from point A to point B, how many people would actually choose to drive?

TIL that our local Native American tribe had a (temporarily) successful revolt in 1824. Kinda weird that NOBODY pointed this out on the 200th anniversary 2 years ago, and that we never learned about it in history classes.

Is Dr. Mehmet Oz the right person accuse members of LA’s Armenian community of fraud? I’m not a historian, but this seems a little extra-inflammatory, even for this administration.

Just installed Wolf Tooth Del pedals on my road bike, and really happy with how solid they feel compared to the Time MTB pedals I’ve been riding. I wouldn’t have thought it would be that noticeable. The servicability is a big bonus. The Time pedals had some play, and no easy way to fix it.

Reading this reminds me about how badly the ratings agencies failed with mortgage backed securities in the runup to the 2008 crash, and now it looks like it's happening again. Thanks to @calculatedrisk.bsky.social and Tanta for educating a finance dilettante on how that sausage was made.
