despite their claims, anthropic is _not_ doing nearly all they can to enable defenders. then, they slap you in the face by doing fear mongering about GLM with a small footnote saying "oh i guess this is good for defenders too, idk" come on lol

I’m running Brisbane Autism meetups in October and November. If you’d like to join and have a topic you’d like to hear about, I’m open to ideas.

Arnie at the dog park yesterday. 🐾 Captured on iPhone 18 Pro.
Arnie, a black-and-tan miniature dachshund, sits on a concrete path at the dog park wearing a green patterned harness. The photo is taken close up, highlighting Arnie's long snout and expressive eyes, with greenery softly blurred in the background.

Arnie and Rocky keeping me company in the office while I have a Sunday afternoon chill out and game. Tough life, but someone's gotta do it. 🐾😴🎮
Arnie and Rocky, two miniature dachshunds, nap in a home office beside a desk. Arnie is curled up in a grey dog bed near the window while Rocky, a puppy, sleeps on the carpet nearby.

Watching the Yanks desperately trying to get the vote out for the mid-terms and advising folks of their rights as voters - makes me SO grateful for the AEC. Tweaks I'd make - four year terms and fixed election date. Stop the endless media fixation and political opportunism.

I bought some really fancy milk last week under suspicion of a1 protein intolerance after being able to drink regular milk anywhere in Japan. Holy smokes! you wouldn’t believe how this has a taste and mouthfeel of the rolls royce of milk compared to anything I’ve ever had!

It makes me laugh how some people who are using AI a lot really believe that everyone is going to start building their own apps to add some tiny feature or make it work how they want. Or that companies will lay this foundation generally. I mean fuck, get out and talk to non tech people for 5 minutes

We've somehow been sold that prices only ever go up. Businesses proudly announce price rises, new fees and new surcharges. When was the last time you saw a business proudly announce: "We've found savings and reduced our prices." That's the kind of business I'll go out of my way to support.

Card surcharges have always been a skill issue for small business owners who struggle with taking ownership for managing their costs. How about instead of contributing to inflation by using any excuse to slog customers, why not have a go at looking for reasons to reduce prices?

A cash comeback? Shops navigate looming death of card surcharges
Card surcharges cost small businesses thousands in fees annually. While many stores pass these fees onto shoppers, the RBA is set to change this from October 1.

There’s less diesels and more hybrids on the streets in Tokyo, which means less nasty tailpipe pollution and less brake dust pollution thanks to regenerative braking systems. I think it was a major contributor to my health improving while I was over there.

You know what really gets my goat- that RANZCO bravely reckoned with itself and now have five Aboriginal trainees, but @racsurgeons.bsky.social has 3. THREE. Across all nine specialties. Given how long training takes, many specialties will still have no Indigenous specialists in 2033. 😡
Screenshot from recently published 2025 RACS Activities report.

In 2025, 28 Trainees have identified as Mãori and three identified as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.

Seems like 10 years is about how long it takes for me to forget that shaving gel is not suitable for me 🪒 Just used my foam now that I am back in Australia and am already feeling like I had a better shave and my skin didn’t feel yuck afterwards.

Just putting it out there, but if you're in a situation where you need to plug and unplug something from the back of a monitor or TV or tower or whatever regularly, consider putting a raised sticker above the port that you use if it's not in a position where you can just easily look at the port

Japan anti-perspirant deodorant wipes the floor with any anti-perspirant deodorant I can get in Australia and it doesn’t need to be ‘medical grade’ to get the job done. Who’d have thought that prioritising sweat management over trying to compete with Lynx Africa would lead to better results 🤔

I haven’t done as much shopping in Japan as I expected. Electronics are the same price as AU sales. AU warranty is better. Alcohol is less than half price, but I can only take back a couple of litres. I’m picky about fabrics, so pretty much only got one new shirt in forest green.

My favourite thing about some toothpaste I got in Japan is that not only does it actually work, but uses a subtle mint flavour instead of a weapons-grade ultra mint that is more likely to scorch your palette for reasons completely unrelated to dental hygiene.

Slow down frontier model development. Bring open weights to current frontier. Build out local inference providers, stabilize hardware prices, focus on cost and token throughput for a bit. Get our software updated to handle what's being thrown at us. I would not mind spending a beat on distribution.

- I’ll argue that an economy based on housing speculation was not in a strong position - No idea how we ever gave out investment incentives for established dwellings - lower property values mean less private borrowing, which is smarter than raising interest rates

Could Australia's housing downturn push the economy into recession?

For me, changes of plans are my biggest autism meltdown trigger. I can spend hours or days preparing myself for what's coming. When plans suddenly change, it is like a bullet train trying to make a 90 degree turn. It's not about being stubborn. Struggling with sudden changes is my disability.

Reminder: autistic meltdowns are involuntary. They are not attention-seeking and they are not a choice. They happen when overwhelm reaches a point where a person can no longer regulate or cope.
