I was afraid of Pippi Longstockings when I was 5-6, but don't worry I appreciate strong women now.

A scene from the original Swedish Pippi Longstocking series: the red-haired girl lifts a large spotted horse above her head outside a wooden house with a white picket fence, while two other children watch.

For being stochastic parrots, LLMs really understand linguistics. They should submit a paper on it.

We've just signed Electron's largest commercial launch contract ever: 20x new launches with Earth-observation constellation operator Synspective 🚀🦉 That brings the total number of Synspective launches signed on Electron to 47 - the most of any Rocket Lab launch customer.

Kickoff complete! Our team recently wrapped up a successful program kickoff for the Space-Based Airborne Moving Target Indicator demonstrations in support of USSF. We’re delivering Flatellites with innovative space-based sensing technologies to help mature resilient capabilities for the Joint Force.

I approve this message. As an adult I just ate the dough instead of making the cake. This was a dream of mine as a kid, cleaning out the bowl when mom made cake. I do not recommend eating an entire batch, but I felt empowered before feeling ill. No gain without pain.

Rocket Lab has been awarded a $397M contract by the Space Force to build multiple Flatellite spacecraft for the SB-AMTI program, and launch them on Neutron. We're proud to enhance global security by deploying a resilient space-based system to detect and track airborne threats in real time.

Yes indeed! If a device still provides utility, not replacing it helps the economy—it frees money, labor and materials for more productive use elsewhere. Greed is expected. The new problem is that virtually ALL media is loyal to oligarchs and advertisers, not it's readers.

INDUSTRIAL: Electricity demand +22% in 2 years (all distributed solar; elec grid demand -6%). Changes: - Reduction in own-use electricity generation from gas. Unlike the other sectors, this is not driven by growth, altho reduced gas use does have big economic benefits.

Ported ch-go to #FSharp with comparable performance. .NET is pretty fast these days, and the "stochastic parrot" #Claude is an amazing tool. The subset of .NET and #ClickHouse users is pretty small but it would be cool if someone took it for a spin. Works on my machine™

I selected TS for a project 6 months ago because LLMs struggled with #fsharp. This weekend I tested Opus 4.7 with F# and "vibe coded" a port of the #clickhouse C++ driver to .NET and beat it with 30% on the ch-bench. It's a one liner though to get C++ on par in perf.

The automatic memory feature of Claude Code really need to be configurable. I lose control of the models instructions and biases. I really want to turn it off but I cannot. It's suddenly jumps into what I consider a dead end and I have no clue why until I specifically ask for what's in the Memory
