The main reason why I love working with .NET Aspire - it actually solved most of these problems for me. Still struggling to "trust" that the agents are verifying correctly. A me problem!

Honestly, thank f**k for AI coding tools because it would've taken me a full day to work through timezone bugs like this 😅

Amazing. You're actually the first I've talked to who also had to deal with it. Still an issue even now?

This AI stuff really is everywhere, huh.

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping 1/4

- the name of the ship he was on, - the other ships in the convoy, - the units that were on board, and - the places they stopped at. Unbelievable.

However, the model had (unprompted) gone and used the dates of the diary entries and descriptions of what was going on to pull in the relevant historical context and **correctly** deduced:

I use AI every day yet tonight it still left me gobsmacked. I've been using a local LLM to transcribe a relative's handwritten diary from WW2. The OCR is great, no issues there. Thing is the NZDF had redacted the names of ships and the ports they visited from the letters.

FFS. Look I actually love having AI in all the things but in the Xbox mobile app feels like a bridge too far.

Looks like Spotify have dropped a new Mix feature to control transitions between tracks. Snazzy!

Literally walking out the door to hit the gym while 3o-mini in Agent Mode performs a trivial (but manually painful) refactor for me. 100+ files to change and it's cranking through them 🦾

@broccolini.bsky.social great talk just now at NDC Melbourne 😊 Where did your final quote about "gold in the intersections" come from? Having trouble sourcing it.

An astonishing headline reporting on new observations from a team led to Nikku Madhusudhan claims they’ve found ‘hints of life’ on a planet orbiting a dwarf star some 124 light years away. What’s going on? (1/n) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🔭 🧪

Promising hints of life found on distant planet K2-18b

Scientists find new but tentative evidence that a faraway world orbiting another star may be home to life.

12 months and £24 later, The National Archives have found and digitised my great-grandfather's WW1 service record. I now have a chance to finally plot his movements during the war and solve some family mysteries. Feels like Christmas! #genealogy #familyhistory

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

Diagram with large number: 2.7.123
First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release
Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases
Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit

Just sent a screen recording of a new feature with my PR, not realising the windows snip tool also captures background audio 🤦‍♂️ Turns out the team likes some #SnarkyPuppy.
