Cmon Dasha, take out SST and (hopefully) get picked as the qualifier playing Penko in the first round For old times sake!

I was a bit ambivalent about the apparent adulation for Craig Tiley, but it seems things can always go downhill

"why is my metabolism slow as duck" - Jessica Pegula's latest Google search, as per the latest Players Box episode Also mentioned: little things like chairing the WTA architecture council However, the duck was clearly the most important information in the podcast

A day after Elena Rybakina is upset in Beijing, Nicola Bartunkova takes out Aryna Sabalenka! All the more incredibly, Bartunkova served under 50%, but Sabalenka's return was absolutely abysmal. More importantly, it's another excuse to post Nicola's adorable photo from the TNNS app. Yay! 👏🎾
Nicola Bartunkova's profile photo from the TNNS app, where she looks approximately 8 years old.

Jelena Ostapenko d. Paula Badosa 7-6(5) 7-5 in Beijing Down 3-5 in the 1st set. Down 3-5 in the 2nd set. Penko came up with big tennis at the right moments. She’s now won her last 3 matches against Paula. Great win for one of the most powerful ladies in tennis. 🇱🇻🤍

I guess IBM's VM and predecessor CP-67 were pretty radical at the time, considering it took another 30 years for hypervisors to really break through?

Back v Joint must be the most anatomically themed WTA match ever.

Charlotte, North Carolina has been announced as the new host city of the WTA Finals and will stage the event from 2027-2029 at Spectrum Center, home of the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets. More via WTA👇🏼

Oh, but workers do make fun of the bosses and their AI demands in the break-room. The most common topic during the week's office days for sure. It is the way the bosses demand that AI be used that reveals the depths of their ignorance. Before, there was at least the slight illusion of competence.

Yes, yes, yes. Imagine making a Batman movie and having to create a plot that complies with the "lore" (blech) of both the Adam West TV series and the Dark Knight stuff.

Probably the same people who designed the WTA TV interface where they show twenty 125k matches (with "not available for streaming" tag, of course) before the one 1000 final that is currently playing

Yes, but I am pleased with this doubles match. It's a different sort of excitement after the dramatic Mirra-Potapova matcha and before the intense heavyweight contest coming up next.

Especially true when you also consider the things that happened during the Russian Civil War. Like the mad German baron who momentarily established an apocalyptic Buddhist reign of terror in Mongolia

- the last positive point above only really applies to originally human-created codebases, because it seems like if there isn't really any overarching design, noticing deviations from it appears to be less effective (or maybe some other reason why it doesn't work... I am no expert on LLM innards)

tomera @mjtomera.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
- more code with a higher density of bugs overwhelming testing - LLM bugs tend to be harder to spot because there's no design - even a bad one - just the appearance of it - management still under dot com era levels of delusion - notable value in focused debugging of tough bugs in existing codebases

@cstross.bsky.social , on the other hand, has worked this substance into one of his plots. Personally, I'd rather tickle the Demon Core's tail than get within meters of the substance.

After the advent of glasses free 3D in 2050, the era of 1980 to 2030 ("Hollywood bronze age") will be mostly represented in retrospectives by AVATAR, DREDD 3D and HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY by the big three great, groundbreaking directors of the era.
