A picture of a puzzle where a horse is blending in and becoming a train, captioned 'Just found out puzzle companies reuse the same stencils to cut out their pieces.'
Like puzzling with all sets and no picture on the box.
And you don't need to use annotations ♥️
Kodemaker has a tradition of hosting "geekends" where we just sit around working on personal projects. Great initiative, lots of fun! This time round I discovered

A jvm http server written with with virtual threads in mind from the outset. Netty-like perf, but readable code ♥️
I mostly love the tech community, but my GOD the "well actually" factor does drive me nuts from time to time.
I posted something like this on LinkedIn, and I'm now being told that ACTUALLY protein behaviour is just as complex as human behavior! I should not express opinions on things I know nothing about!
I didn't realize proteins were influenced by Facebook, advertising and geopolitics.
Interesting.
"AI" is great for predictable domains. Like protein folding. Proteins are predictable. Protein models, given enough training will be able to produce reliable results.
Humans are more complex. Their behavior varies between individuals, and from day to day. AI results will never be reliable.
NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty.
"People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.”

Tweet from Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran: His Holiness Pope Louis XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah. Posted at 8:53 AM EDT (UTC-4), Apr 23, 2026.
I'm crying laughing rn. Iran stepping up to defend the honour of Pope Leo
Love it 🥰
My daughter (15) has a "work experience" week at school and she's spending it fixing up a Lotus Elise with her dad. She's been looking forward to it for months.
I find the prospect of working on real physical objects more and more appealing in this age of AI slop in computing.
US President Donald Trump says the US Navy would immediately start blockading the Strait of Hormuz and would also interdict every vessel in international waters that had paid a toll to Iran. https://aje.news/x545rk
We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Decline
I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️
I'm having way to much fun with all the stuff I'm NOT doing :-D Like, I'm writing it in HTML with CSS 🤯. It's just going to be files loaded into the browser as-is. It'll be glorious!
But anyway: I'd like to host it from a VPS in Norway. Who has the best VPS services in Norway? Any tips?

I'm taking charge of setting up a website for the company my husband has been working through for the last 12 years. We own it together, but he's been the only employee. He's got work through word of mouth, so hasn't _really_ needed a website. But it has always been on the todo list.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
This is extra funny to me because I made this exact same thing with a raspberry pi, a Logitech webcam, and a conference room telephone and it cost less than $300. And I’ve never used it.
My whole life has been being disappointed by the so called Grown Ups.
recent Axios story on maternal health policy referenced "findings" that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses. On the surface, there's nothing unusual about that. What wasn't originally mentioned, however, was that these findings were made up. Clicking through the links revealed (as did a subsequent editor's note and clarification by Axios) that the public opinion poll was a computer simulation run by the artificial intelligence start-up Aaru. No people were involved in the creation of these opinions. The practice Aaru used is called silicon sampling, and it's suddenly everywhere. The idea behind silicon sampling is simple and tantalizing. Because large language models can generate responses that emulate human answers, polling companies see an opportunity to use A.I. agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.
As I’ve said a million times, I’m not particularly against smart uses of AI
This is the stupidest use I’ve seen yet though
Tung nevnte dette i podcasten “systemparadokset”.
Maskinlæring er kult og gjør oss ikke (nødvendigvis) avhengig av amerikansk big-tech. Heia heia!
(Men jeg må jo le litt av hvor fornøyde der er med: “100 000 boliger på 20 minutter”
Det er jo SINNSYKT TREGT 😆)

Nei.
I USA så kjører jo disse selvkjørende bilene med helt vanlig trafikk. Blir interessant å følge med på hvordan det fungerer over tid.
Ingen liker jo å sitte i kø, buss og tog vil jo fortsatt være fordelaktig i en rushtrafikk-situasjon. Men med et selvkjørende tilbud kunne man sluppet svære pendlerparkeringsplasser, og man kunne kanskje fått flere til å ta toget hvis en selvkjørende bil kunne tatt deg med til togstasjonen.
Ja, ikke sant, jeg har 0 tro på at dette kommer snart. De fleste biler idag har bare 1 person i seg, pluss at de står parkert 95% av tida. Det er utrolig mye sløs med sånn biler er akkurat nå i alle fall. Så jeg tror faktisk det kan bli bedre med selvkjøring. Men vet jo selvsagt ikke.
Sålenge biler ikke kjører seg selv vil det alltid være mer praktisk å ha egen for mange. Så fort man bare kan bestille bil som kommer kjørende hjem til deg når som helst, og du ikke må betale for tiden til en sjåfør, så er det en game changer.
Selvkjørende biler - hvis det noengang kommer til å funke - blir billigere i drift og kan gjøre veier tryggere.
Transportsektoren kan øke effektivitet med 3-gangern med kjøring 24-7.
Men... Det er jo et stort _hvis_ da. Vi har jo blitt lovet selvkjørende biler i alle år. Så jeg holder ikke pusten.
Controversial take:
Jeg er enig med Nicolai Tangen! 🤯
_Hvis_ vi får det til, og folk slipper ha egen bil, frigis enorme parkeringsarealer og bilindustri kan få mer fokus på fornuftig kost/nytte, kvalitet og størrelse. Ikke bare store meningsløse SUVer i byen f.eks.

My grandfather was from Våler, and his dad was Alf Lundeby's cousin, so the Lundebydrakt was a natural choice.
My daughter (15) has decided to sew her own Norwegian national costume. I'm trying to help, so here we are, sitting in front of the fire, hand embroidering like it's 1783 or something.
Love it!
Happy Easter!
I encourage everyone to go and make something by hand
right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer
Oh so now copyright matters.
