My investigative piece today on Nicola Willis's surprise RBNZ Covid Inquiry announcement. She has set it up so that the results are released 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION
Please share where you can - between the voter suppression laws, and this, it could be a real killer come Nov 2026. #NZPOL #NZ

Did Nicola Willis just appoint Atlas Network connections to her surprise RBNZ Covid Inquiry?
Willis launches a surprise Covid inquiry with results to come out 6 weeks before the election. Most NZ publications noted her hiring of "independent" experts. I looked further into it.

I'm going through docs for a bunch of libraries and tools, and the general standard for people new to a project is terrible. Every website should have a page to clearly explain what the thing is and why someone would use it, clearly linked and written for someone who is new to the product

It seems insane to me that people would argue there aren’t these benefits to being in the office, it like everything in life it’s a trade off, and imo (for employers, never mind employees) that’s outweighed by having access to a global talent pool, etc
probably an unpopular take on this site but I enjoy going to the office and think it does have tangible benefits for team cohesion and professional development. Although I recognize a significant factor is commutes and I’m lucky enough to live in Manhattan and have a short commute

I’m so angry about the state of NZ media. Stuff is useless and increasingly biased, all the papers are crap, everything is corporate, even RNZ are looking pathetic
Stuff takes the incredible journalistic step of *using the search function* to get a "NZ mentioned" headline and then the article doesn't mention either Thiel (a NZ citizen) or Pinker (invited here by the FSU to speak TONIGHT)

I’m glad Collins is resigning. She is a bad person and having her in politics is bad. I hope she has a brief and unpleasant retirement

103 days into the "ceasefire." Hours after Netanyahu joined Trump's "Board of Peace."
Israeli forces just killed 3 more journalists.
They were on assignment to film a camp in Gaza, to document the plight of Palestinians displaced by Israeli bombs.
Instead, Israel killed them.

One thing that seems very obvious about ai but isn’t discussed much is that it is going to cost a lot more in the near future. These companies need to make incredible money from this, and much like streaming and uber, we’re at the investor-subsidised, loss leader stage

This is obviously correct, but it’s also correct about ai-generated code and I’m amazed that so many engineers are happy with it (including the author, judging by previous posts)
if you're writing your post with AI, i'm not reading that shit to the end. not because i hate AI but because it's just not good enough. if i can spot it, it's skill issue both on your and AI part

What do y'all do when waiting for AI to think? It's an order of magnitude worse than waiting for the compiler for me. I don't want to context switch because it's not that long (usually) but twiddling my thumbs is killing me. Plus it is unpredictable. It really puts me off using AI for larger tasks
