Me: Mise. That looks an interesting tool. I might play with it a bit and see how it is. “Sponsored by Omarchy” Oh.

Watching Ludwig. DCS Shaw: We are going to end up sharing a cell. Me: That seems unlikely, you would likely be sent to the female estate. Ludwig, literally one second later: That seems unlikely, we would probably be sent to a men’s prison. For. Fucks. Sake.

So this was an interesting if silly project to have to do. Turns out that @libsyn.com don’t appear to have publish hooks on their platform. What I really want is for them to hit a URL with a POST any time a podcast episode goes from scheduled to published.

Silly thoughts. Doctor Who has had a regular slot every night of the week. Saturday obviously. But Series 11 went out on Sundays. Season 19 went out Monday + Tuesdays. Season 24 also Mondays. Season 20 went out Tuesday + Wednesday. Season 25 and 26 also Wednesdays. Season 21 was Thursday + Friday.

Ludwig is very Jonathan Creek flavoured.

Morning project. Emulating the Wordpress XML-RPC API because LibSyn doesn’t have proper publish hooks.

Utterly bizarre article in the Telegraph, claiming a new conspiracy theory is spreading about Prince William having a secret 16 year old daughter named Arielly. What’s weird: there is no evidence I can find that anyone is actually saying this.

I very much doubt if the media or society as a whole will call it what is, but this, "an agent hacking" wasn't just a random company, OpenAI did this. They wrote the software and pointed it out into the world. It's not the agent that's "rouge". www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOfV...

Final speaker for today is Parul Singh. Parul has been advocating for neuroinclusivity in the work place for almost a decade, as well as working in JS/TS recruitment as “the recruiter who codes”. Parul will be explaining how to make our teams work for ourselves and neurodivergent colleagues.

Second speaker we have announced is Andy Bell. Andy’s CSS course at @piccalil.li taught me so much, the man is a legend. See him live at Viewport!

I’m mostly glad that Greenland feel like they have come to a deal over their sovereignty. I’m mildly surprised they believe it’ll be adhered to though.

At the time, it seemed unlikely that the most unrealistic thing about Terminator 2 would be that the creator of the genocidal AI would try to stop it.

I think it’s very easy, with hindsight, to see that the whole NFT thing was bullshit. Unfortunately it was just as easy to see it at the time.

What I don’t understand is … when Pip and Jane hand in a script with the line “fortuitous would be a more apposite epithet”, why didn’t Eric write back in a big red pen saying “who the fuck talks like that?”

Screenshot of tweet from @InternetHippo:

New right wing thing is describing crimes as generically as possible to pretend like they're not crimes. Someone gets convicted of conspiracy and they start yelling "Wow so it's illegal to make plans with friends now"

Nigel Farage doesn't think the rules apply to him. Just like Boris Johnson, it's one rule for them, and another for the rest of us.
