"The findings suggest that following the so-called Planetary Health Diet – built around grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes, with moderate amounts of dairy, fish, poultry and minimal red and processed meat – could cut the risk of premature death by 27 per cent."

Changing how people eat could save 15 million lives a year, landmark study finds

Researchers say Shift to mostly plant-rich, flexible global diet could slash premature deaths, ease inequality, and curb environmental destruction

Makes sense. Since it’s not my day job, I can’t program & I’m too lazy to get into CLI or tools much and use the app if I have the time to work on something. I’ve run into safety issues when working on projects using ACLED data - contains too many names of armed groups / terrorists.

I mean it is late, I am tired, but the mistakes it's mentioning were actually from Claude, not mine. Best laugh I've had today, but just wondering if Microsoft's #vibeworking will lead to Word sending you packing when you're on a deadline...

Jonas Koll @kachumbali.bsky.social · 6d

@simonwillison.net did you have similar issues? Or are they just trying to save money with this, camouflaging as user concern?

Jonas Koll @kachumbali.bsky.social · 6d

#Claude 4.5 thinks that we've been #vibecoding 7h together on sth, and now refuses to reengage on my project.

"Now you stop. You've been coding for 7+ hours."

I mean wtf? Where is Sarah Connor when you need her?

And all the skies that lead you there are changing
And all the drones above our heads are ranging
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don’t know how

I said, “Maybe
You’re gonna be the shield that saves me
And after all
You’re my Drohnenwall”

Jonas Koll @kachumbali.bsky.social · 6d

Drohnenwall

Because maybe
You’re gonna be the shield that saves me
And after all
You’re my Drohnenwall

Today was gonna be the day, the storm was heading straight for you
By now, you should’ve somehow known what you’ve got to do
I don’t believe that anybody stands the way I’ll stand for you now

Microsoft launches ‘vibe working’ in Excel and Word

Vibe working is all about Office’s new Agent Mode.

Microsoft invents “Vibe working”

Basically volume, done quickly. if I understand correctly.

I spend 80% time thinking about how to condense stuff further and sharpen it.

I’d be surprised if this is useful.

If you hide the system prompt and tool descriptions for your LLM agent, what you're actually doing is deliberately hiding the most useful documentation describing your service from your most sophisticated users!
