Can confirm, my wife has started lifting recently

Well that was fun. macOS doesn't support vibration on wired controllers. Helpful when you're trying to develop vibration support for a game...

Great review for a novel, but a terrible indictment on a blacksmithing guide

This is not just a mic drop, it’s an M&S mic drop.

I had no idea I'd be learning so much about Direct3D this month! have gone from barely having any understanding of terminology to being moderately bad with it (achieving some things, tanking performance while I do it)

I wish I knew why Ghidra takes so long while not using much CPU...

I think this falls under "don't feed the trolls", you're giving their rude action more air than it deserves

Advocate: J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization.

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

You must listen to them

they need you to save the president's daughter

Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensation AI inference emerges as a critical factor in tech compensation, impacting engineer productivity and Silicon Valley hiring dynamics.

Ah yes, scrip. How did that work out last time for workers? www.businessinsider.com/ai-compute-c...

I just hope it doesn't give Orban enough ammunition to win by blaming everything on external 'enemies'...

Watchdogs call on big tech to ‘urgently’ do more to protect children online The regulators accused tech platforms of ‘failing to put children’s safety at the heart of their products’

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

The ICO and Ofcom are pushing for tech companies to strengthen age checks.

It's disastrous that the ICO wants to somehow 'protect children’s data' by compelling 13-18 year olds to use poorly regulated digital identification products that could put their biometric data at risk.

Judging from youtube true crime, lots of people and cops do that dumb...

One of the most powerful speeches I've seen in the UK parliament. Wow.

I'm gonna guess this happened to her around the time in 2021 when she stepped down from a front bench role in the opposition, due to "personal reasons".

How the times have changed for Starmer's Labour... just awful

Whole Brain Emulation Achieved: Scientists Run a Fruit Fly Brain in Simulation | RathBiotaClan Scientists ran a real fruit fly brain in simulation using the FlyWire connectome, achieving the first working whole brain emulation.

Equal parts fascinating and horrifying, somewhat-simplified-physics simulation of a full fly brain www.rathbiotaclan.com/whole-brain-...

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

Oh so now you're saying basic rights shouldn't just be for people we like? Who's next Liv, *foreigners*?

Well that's a new one. Doing geolocation of a youtube channel and discovered a landmass that google maps have missed from their terrain/map view

Is that with the automatic Super Moon mode turned off, though? The difference on the 17 Pro between it being on & off make it seem like they're doing AI trickery...

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

In the PA forest, mist lingers on the creek after a thunder shower. (2025)

I have a soft spot in my heart for the old term, "planetary parade", it's both more accurate and sounds way cooler!

It's a *language* model (the way it 'views' text is all about language, not numbers or even letters), it's trained on language not maths. But here you can also see its confident bluffing strategy, and it's easier to bluff with language than maths...

This will be a mix of baader-meinhoff & confirmation bias.
You'll have been recommended it based related to what you buy, but it's part of hundreds of (likely mostly bad) recs your brain has ignored.
Also genuinely could be it recommended it to you previously which is why it was on your mind...

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.

It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

An e-mail from BT: "we're committed to giving you the best service, one you can count on every day, because you're at the heart of everything we do. For generations we've been connecting the UK, and now we're upgrading our network with the rollout of Full Fibre to bring faster broadband to millions of homes nationwide. All year round we invest in teams of engineers, cyber security specialists and technical experts across the country, working to keep your network strong and secure, giving you confidence in your connection. To continue giving you the connection and reliability you expect from us, we need to make price changes. From 31 March 2026, your prices will change in line with your terms and conditions. You'll find all the details in the table below."

If you're in corporate communications in 2026 and you think leading people up the garden path like this softens things rather than a direct non-time-wasting "We're increasing your prices" then you need to change career #bt

I'll go out on a limb here and say this experience is probably what has him completely agreeing. He screwed up, and he's certainly used "I was sick" a lot in that text, but your reply is mean-spirited piling on someone when they're down
