Calls to slow down AI development are about market position, not safety. Open-weight models already rival proprietary tech in many engineering and automation tasks. Lowering inference costs threatens closed-source business models, driving those companies to push for pre-deployment licensing. (1/2)

Del 7: Birgitta Ed meddelade att hon ville arbeta med ”existentiell hälsa” på sin herrgård. Ett halvår senare gav regeringen Folkhälsomyndigheten i uppdrag att lyfta ”existentiell hälsa”. Generaldirektören ifrågasatte begreppet - och fick sparken från myndigheten. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/Gx...

I thought long and hard to come up with something smart and profound to write here. I failed, so here's a picture of one of my cats instead.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Time to start using my Bluesky account more properly. I've been pretty passive this year. Maybe that's why everything sucks so much these days? In any case, what should I write about here? 1. Complain about AI 2. Praise AI and predict what's coming next 3. Let an AI write everything here instead

Jag vill inte påstå att det hänger ihop, men igår kollade jag på Järnvägskollapsen och idag gick mitt tåg sönder mellan Tranås och Nässjö sönder så jag fick vända om och åka hem till Stockholm igen. Lärdomar av detta är att inte titta på TV och inte åka tåg. www.svtplay.se/video/Kv1Ynd...

If you want to do some more advanced data visualization, is it still D3.js which is the go-to solution or do we have something better these days? #data #dataviz #developer

I was playing around with Ultrawide Band (UWB)to test out some ideas I have. However, only the top tier Android phones (Pixel Pro and Samsung Galaxy S) have support for this. Meanwhile, the iPhone has supported this since the iPhone 11.

I don't think there's anyone who has used Bluetooth that would say that it's a nice technology from a user perspective. But why is this such a bad user experience and why has it not been fixed in the 25 years it has been around? The only exception is Apple, so it is possible to get it right.

A question for my #iOS and #Android followers: Those of you who have apps using hardware features like Camera, Bluetooth, NFC or similar; are you writing integration tests for these features that you run automatically on your CI pipelines? If so, what's your setup for this?

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

A few months ago I shipped a bug that broke a feature that users hit at app launch. When fixing it, I added a feature flag to disable that feature entirely if needed. I had to use that feature flag today. Use feature flags, my friends.

Any experts on #LLM who can shed some light on this? As we now can use ChatGPT and such to generate code for an entire application/system, why do we have to go through a high level language and not just generate machine code directly?

I think Jupyter notebooks and SQL are really similar. Both are screwed up in really obvious ways but both are very useful and ubiquitous.
