For almost a year the largest project I have been working on is building support for non-Puzzmo games on @puzzmo.com Ribbit was built in 90% of that system, and Hue Complete Me was 100% in it. A month ago I ported the Crossword to it. Got a game? We're exploring opening up bsky.app/profile/stfj...

The best thing I read today: “Set reasonable goals and go after them with unreasonable effort” Love that! Effective iterations compound so well over time

The engineer in me can’t quite believe that this is Poltrone Sofa idea of “good enough” for the power to this sofa. Dangling cables taking the weight of that power pack, no cable management at all and too short a cable.

Hope @jamellebouie.net comes back here soon, but he is outstanding in this video format. The made-up fantasy world of David Brooks & other pundits is wildly unserious in the current moment & Jamelle nails it again here.

Hmmm new issues I’m finding in my AI adventures. The curse of the “just one more feature/tweak” loop really sucks you in! The dopamine train is real. Good to be aware of it though. “It can wait” is what I’ve started saying to myself.

After spending 2 years playing with AI I now feel at a place where I ca. really motor with it. Getting so much done and it’s really put a spring in my step. Never been as productive and adding value. I don’t feel down trodden more like empowered.

I already dread the “<insert new dem presidents name here> humiliating surrender to Iran” rants we will get from Republicans when the inevitable “let’s get out of this mess at all costs” choices are made to mop up Trumps totally predictable mess of a war(s). Of course there will be no reflection.

Such mixed feelings on this. When I did Robot Wars many moons ago some of us pondered doing more robotics but at the time the only logical employers looked to be defence industry which didn’t sit well with any of us. Now though with Russia being aggressive I’m cheering on Ukraine’s inventiveness

I’m firmly in the “AI is actually an amazing tool in the right hands used the right way” camp. It’s allowing me to actually do all the bits and bobs on projects which make the projects scalable, maintainable and readable to humans (and AI) that so often got cut by deadlines and budgets in the past

Perfectly put. I’m don’t really want to go back to coding without it. Writing the code was never the point. Solving a problem or adding value was. AI helps me to that quicker.

I can see a lot of wastage if AI is used and pushed this hard (and effectively unmetered due to if it’s a good thing why meter it in-house). Easy to end up using it for everything and just getting lazy which burns credits and time.

2 runs a week for 6 weeks now and I’m stunned at the amount of progress I feel each time I go out. I run walk the same loop and the running parts are longer, the walking shorter and the number of them reducing. Pleasing and encouraging.

I have no idea who to vote for tomorrow. - Labour need a wake up call so no - Tory’s never - Reform never - Greens I could go with to try to drag Labour back to being more progressive - LibDems have always been my safe bet if in doubt but are still reeling from the Nick Clegg years sadly.

EA3 is one of three offshore wind farms where turbines are being erected, totalling 4 GW of sovereign power generation. We're building the wind power equivalent of a Hinkley Point C or Sizewell C nuclear power station under every two years. Hinkley Point C is expected to take 14 years to build.

Trump is demonstrating the importance of credibility in international relations. He is not credible. He’s shown that others can’t trust what he says, and can’t act as if his stance will be the same tomorrow. He can’t communicate demands or make reliable offers. He made America’s word is worthless.
