I regret to inform you that Vertu are at it again.

This time with Web3 nonsense! Checks out. And this isn't even their most expensive phone.

PIPE-307. A novel MS treatment which could be a gamechanger.

Remyelination!

I am fucking DETONATING. It's Christmas. It demands exactly what I can do in my sleep, and includes no dev nonsense.

And it's DuckDuckGo, who do so much work for privacy. It's perfect.

Every finger I own is crossed.

@McCrankyface John Oliver (or maybe Jon Stewart) was saying it's quite feasible ICE agents won't be paid in a month or two. Which is glorious.

If you're coming to my profile from the job post I just want to say THANKYOU to the huge number of people who have boosted it, two leads have come out of it so far. You am the best.

Claude is the model for people who want good answers and are happy to wait.

GPT-5 is the model for people who just want to chat with a model (stop that).

@brouhaha I used to use it as a lighting controller. Wrote some Python to present a bunch of coloured squares, tap one, lights go that colour.

Qualcomm aren't fucking about with their Arduino acquisition, releasing an absolute beast of a board combining MCU ops with a quad-core 2 GHz processor running full Linux.

Perplexity Research mode:

* Fast
* Pretty good

Claude Research mode:

* Takes approximately three ice ages
* Absolutely slaps

STAR TREK: PRODIGY is an easy one to miss. And yeah, it's targeted at kids, and yeah, there are some absolute filler episodes.

But it's a quiet love letter to Trek, as well as a decent story. Particularly the latter half of the second season.

In a different world, this might be about business and nothing else. And Apple should still allow third party stores, but it's a business argument.

In a world where you're talking about protecting peoples' livelihoods - and lives - it's a different calculus.

That's our world today.

Just to give you an impression how fucked they are, I was an early adopter of Google's GLASS and eagerly await the concept coming back to market.

With that as a given, the one, possibly singular company I wouldn't trust for a fucking INSTANT for tech like that, and would never buy it from? Meta.

It's a merge sort. In C.

I...

But it...

But...

Okay, nicely done.

what the fuck is dark woke

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

Apparently a day for mounting your iPhone on your monitor and tarting up your OP-1.

The monitor mount is pretty cool, it's an air pressure mount, but as long as it's charged, it sucks its own air out and renews the vacuum as necessary.

It's #caturday you say? Time for #catsofmastodon ?

Remember! You can go to https://join.ice.gov and apply, and go through the process, all the way to getting an offer, and then tell them to eat a dick.

When they're busy with you, they're not onboarding someone else.

Or accept! And just never show up to work. They might even have to pay you.

Every time you see violence from ICE, think what would happen if the Left advanced our ideology by deploying masked paramilitaries to American streets.

And remember - we never have.

The message all this immigration bullshit, and cancelling protected status, is that no matter how protected you feel, we can change everything.

The message is that you are not allowed to relax. Either stay in constant worry about what tomorrow will bring, or get out. Even if we can't force you out.

Hm. Interesting. That’s the second time I’ve seen this failure mode from Gemini, and in completely different contexts (code generation vs. spreadsheet mangling).

It gets started alright, but if it’s being asked to do too much at once, it hallucinates something. Doesn’t matter what really. But […]

My boy. Himb do a slenp in the most difficult place possible. Nearly a year ago.

Okay. I see what you did there. Ten million points for RED MEANS RECORDING.
