Can someone get me the 3D print file and the exact filament colours I need? 😁

I love Claude Code and Opus is incredible, but man they really should stop bragging about it being vibe coded - it's a damning indictment of vibe coding. By far the most glitchy AI software I have used.

A bunch of my apps like Bluesky and WhatsApp have reverted to the old iOS keyboard. Am I imagining things?

Stopped using ChatGPT because the tone of voice was so off putting, it sounds like a millennial pretending to be Gen Alpha. “I’ll explain it to you. No bloat, no drama, just vibes” making sand think was a mistake

I'm trying to understand why the profiler says a component is re-rendering because 'the parent component rendered' when the parent definitely didn't render? It's wrapped in React.memo and none of the props are changing (or I presume it would say so?) Paging @ricky.fm @danabra.mov 🙏

We moved all of our stuff off of Vercel and when they emailed me to ask why, I told them straight. We won’t do business with red pilled CEOs.

I love living in London, I’ve been here for nearly 10 years. It might be the best city in the world. The far right hate it because it’s living proof that multiculturalism works and that different cultures can coexist and thrive. Trump and DHH hate it because it disproves their narratives.

The Apple event was a great day for the brits. They wheel us out when they want to make the product announcements sound profound.

I mean, our brains do the same thing only with a biological substrate instead of a silicon substrate. LLMs are “probability machines” but their output is based on a real, acquired understanding of the world from a training data set. Different to humans but still arguably thinking.

In the UK we should do anti-honours. And the first person to get an anti-Knighthood should be whoever removed all of the fucking padding from the seats on the trains and replaced them with ironing boards.

Biggest red flag for AI generated text is excessive use of present participles 🚩 "highlighting the importance of", "underscoring the relevance of", "avoiding the risks of", "emphasising the need for" etc

Really like this actually. Currently the selected tab in liquid glass looks atrocious - this would be a better approach.

Along the same lines:
Comic strip:

Coworker A (drinking coffee): "Some day we won't even need coders any more.  We'll be able to just write the specification and the program will write itself"

Coworker B (coding at a laptop): Oh wow, you're right!  We'll be able to write a comprehensive and precise spec and bam, we won't need programmers any more!

And do you know the industry term for a project specification that is comprehensive and precise enough to generate a program?

Coworker A: Uh… no…

Coworker B: Code.  It's called code

I’ve seen an uptick in people on LinkedIn posting pictures of sick relatives and using things like relatives’ cancer diagnoses for content. It’s kinda nauseating tbh.

I don’t know how I would have got through my recent surgery without LLMs available as a tool, some of the medical concepts were really difficult to understand. They were able to give me confidence I was making the right call.

Fantastic news that UK passport holders will be able to use ePassport gates in Europe again. It always struck me as unfair that EU passport holders could use these in the UK but not the other way around.

Do you respond to “Alright now fellas?” or “OK now ladies?” in OutKast’s “Hey Ya”? That is the only gender recognition certification that I need to see.

Calendars are so boring and corporate and feel totally unworthy to be actual representations of our daily lives. Our design language for @daybridge.com V1 will change that. This is mobile agenda view.

I went to the doctor 6 months ago with a sore throat and after 6 months of investigation I have ended up finding out I only have 1 functional kidney and the other one needs an operation to unblock or remove it. Honestly I would strongly recommend private medical insurance if you don’t have it.
