I read somewhere that just the govt subsidising roof top solar would be a really good thing. I wonder why National hasn't done this yet, considering the money would go into their mates hands and everyone wins.

Oh, "everyone wins". Can't have that.

these pictures are fascinating. I always remember mum and dad teaching me about lichen when I was younger, I was always fascinated when they told me there's probably thousands of unknown lichen on Mt Cargil alone and who knows what interesting properties they hold.

is that true though?

Update: my Stroomtrooper print worked pretty well, even with a power cut in the middle of the print!

Oooof. So dark and beautiful outside with no lights. A power cut in #Dunedin! I can't remember the last time we had an unplanned one! (I'd just started a 16 hr 3d print too)

What DOESN'T a Labrador eat? Honestly, I shouldn't buy her puppy food because she seems to love eating dirt, pebbles, wood, vegetables, steel.. Silly puppy.

It's kind of dangerous we're allowing this kind of bullshit. I feel like he's just trying to see how far he can go before Kiwis push back.

I also don't understand how this guy is basically running the country at this point!

Nice. I made a basic #MCP server to do GitHub PR reviews for me (with #Claude) It works. But it's overly nice... how should I change the prompt? "Be a condescending diddlegoose please"

I'm about to set up the Memory server to work in conjunction with the Obsidian vault/knowledge base just to see how that works out too!

I've not really been paying attention to it, but I haven't been putting more than $50NZD a month into it either and I haven't been running into any limits.

Just the past weekend, I used MCP with Claude Desktop and setup the Fileserver so that I could populate Obsidian to use as a LocalRAG too :)

Brennan torpedo - Wikipedia

Nah, they've already cost cut the torpedos and have gone back to using the Brennan Torpedo which was basically mechanical, steered using a cable and fired from shore and it was pretty crap. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brennan...

Which reminds me a lot of this current gov tbh.

I utilise Claude via API. I tried Cursor IDE... but prefer vscode soooo I simply changed the API keys in Cline (vscode extension).

Imagine my surprise when I installed qwen2/Deepseek on my PC, and realised I could change the settings for Cline to use my local setup!

Claude still wins IMO

$11 NZD for that?! How many pages of actual content does it have? I wonder if you get any different info from it vs the internets 🤨

I was trying to get Flux to generate a Cybertruck, so it generated this. Looks awesome.

I just wish they were smarter than that and brought back something akin to Ministry of Works, so they can basically pay themselves for the work, and reinvest it all into their workers. Then things like the Dunedin Hospital wouldn't be such a nightmare.

Nah. Let's spend $30B on a road instead.

haha - I read that as doctors and their private enterprises owning our roads. I think I need another coffee...

how much are they claiming to still spend on these roads again?

What's up everyone? I was pretty impressed with how easy it was to get a custom domain for identity purposes.

I think I'll stick around. Bluesky looks rather good!
