Having Claude run code review on stuff I've exported from a different AI model has been a big difference. It's like having a small army of very competent comp sci students running tandem

Everyone knows this guy is a prick, but imagine being English (and a Brexiteer) and buying a literal castle in Ireland and then telling local Irish people they can't visit their family graves. Imagines telling *any* Irish person they can't visit the family graves! My mother would feckin kill him

EXCLUSIVE: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it, and found an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Investigation by @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social here: www.404media.co/we-tracked-a...

Got the bus this morning (somewhat ironically to collect my serviced bike). One changeover in Phibsboro which took 2mins. All super easy. People need to get over themselves on public transport.

Our dog escaped (the side gate was wide open). She just wandered around and just came back. Surely a sign of age & wisdom?

This is true! I tried to pick up a book the other day, and a confident woman said "No!" and ran up and kicked it out of my hand! I started to ask her what she was doing, and she slapped me! "Literature is for girls!" she said, and then she laughed at me. Joe Rogan then hugged me and held me close

Well, when you put it like that this starts to sound mighty cartel-y. The only thing that'd make this more suspect was if the CEO of Nvidia and AMD, despite ostensibly being the only two competitors in the space, were actually super clos-- Oh Jensen Huang and Lisa Su are cousins, you say... Huh...

The amount of AI reviews plaguing Steam game reviews is mad. You can smell it a mile off.

Kevin @kd.ie · 29/07/2026
The Steam Machine is absolutely excellent. I’m a perfect fit though, with a day 1 Steam account holding ~900 games. And a Steam Deck doing a lot of heavy lifting. Having my library in my living room is outstanding. The price is questionably high for most users though.

💯 The issue lies with telling everyone they can ship production quality stuff, when they’ve no idea what’s actually being produced. You can’t tell people they’re Mozart when they’ve don’t know the instruments being used.

I’ve been building a system that’s gotten quite complex. Mostly using Lovable to quickly iterate. But now I’m migrating out of it. This “work” has really tickled my right hemisphere 🧠. There’s lots of doom and gloom around AI, but enabling lapsed engineers to build is so good.

I know some higher-end car manufacturers have seen valuations of _old_ cars soar over new models because there's a lack of tech. Porsche, Merc, BMW, etc.

Did the scariest thing I've done on my nights-and-weekends projects to-date (outlap.xyz): emailed prospective users about it and asked for feedback. So nervous and slightly embarrassed for some reason. But so far, I've had *insanely* positive responses. Should have done it a month or two ago!

Saw a video w/ someone modifying a car. To test his new drift machine out, he takes it after hours around the industrial estate his workshop is based in. To escape the wrath of the law, that section opens with "this section of video was created with AI." Hilariously unintended consequence of AI.

IMO, the reason people hate the Ferrari Luce is fairly simple. They’re charging €450,000 too much for it, and it looks absolutely nothing like the companies’ logo suggests it should. Petrol heads hated Porsche going towards an EV but loved the looks of it, and even the innovative two-gear thing.

They’re splitting my kids class up next year for senior infants. He had to put 3 friend names down on a sheet so they can try to mix and match the classes up. I feel I’ve just experienced the next generation of political discourse.

For what it’s worth, even with meagre sunlight this week, I’ve been able to run the car for free. Mostly just shops & crèche runs. But that’s a big deal for most households. There’s a perception that they only work at peak summer in Ireland.

Lack of traffic means the bus has to sit idle at stops for a few mins. Which again, introduces my timely reminder that school time needs to be addressed for traffic. Get school buses operational and make walking/cycling viable.
