@1davidmartin @Rod__Mason Tbf, when I saw this infographic it really hit home the magnitude of the Reform donation.

Don't do this to be Blizzard. If it's some sort of mobile app BS I am going to lose it. Also if it's SC 3, my life is over

@trashh_dev A few years to wait for me then. What a day that'll be though!

[Karik Isichei @KarikIsichei]

@trashh_dev What age? Mine is a toddler but surely that's old enough to play Protoss?

PSA: Set `UV_MALWARE_CHECK=1` to cross-reference the Open Source Vulnerabilities (OSV) database prior to installing packages from a remote registry.

uv will then block installation of any packages reported as malware.

How is it possible for @Spotify to have a service outage which means I can't play downloaded content.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

Amongst my friends, Spotify is the lowest quality consumer app we still pay for. It certainly hasnt gotten noticeably better in the last couple years (arguably worse). So, this is not the positive look Ant and Spotify are spinning here.

Bigger picture, this is the problem with a lot of AI reporting. It reports completely meaningless metrics like deploys per day or LoC. Why don’t we start reporting consumer satisfaction reports? Actually end state research results.

All the no nuance AI people always come out and think that this is anti AI. Again, I think AI is great and Claude is great. But this is bad marketing and makes both look like clowns.

@timClicks I'm really loving your section on "Use fewer long lived values" in Rust in Action. Has definitely made me rethink how I write and structure Rust

I just tried to search for a Linkin Park album on Spotify but automatically searched "LinkedIn" - I hate being an adult

It's crazy how good and cheap Kimi K2.5 is

"The Labour party are a bunch of political herbivores" is a fantastic line from @lewis_goodall

@thdxr You ever listened to the audiobook Convolution? 👀

[Karik Isichei @KarikIsichei]

Or is it cos the rust compiler and ownership model is really good at steering the AI?

[Karik Isichei @KarikIsichei]

Serious question with all the AI hype. Why isn't C/C++ making a big resurgence? Like people keep talking about Rust but if AI is just writing it all now, then why do we need the ownership model? AI should just avoid all the footguns?
