A tale of semantic ambition, late-night commits, and the emergence of human-AI pair programming.

My 2025 Wrapped from GitHub posts to Fifth. I think the real take-away is that I need more sleep! https://t.co/M4BrQwyzMv

RIP Douglas Lenat. Your work on Cyc has inspired me for decades.

Anyone else having network problems with their #sonos?

Reposting Carl Sagan calling out the media in 1987 because I don’t think enough people on Twitter heard this.

Eagerly awaiting my #Tana invitation, but worried that there will be no import from #LogSeq. It would suck if it turns out to be something I want to adopt!

The Government’s Science, Research and Innovation Budget tables reveal that Gov't investment in R&D is at the lowest on record at 0.49% (as a percentage of GDP).

In February, Australia’s leading scientists urged the government to commit to a ‘bold & ambitious’ structural reform agenda for science, including formally adopting a target of 3% of GDP invested in R&D.

To learn more, please read our pre-budget submission: https://t.co/Lg2psC4fzR

Note: The tables do not account for new and off-budget expenditures such as the National Reconstruction Fund, or initiatives such as the Australian Economic Accelerator program.

Fossil fuel shares fell yesterday after the Greens’ secured a limit on coal and gas expanding.

Good.

To those wanting to open new coal and gas mines, your days of wrecking the climate for profit are numbered.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people.

Sound efficient?

Hopefully a bit more than "Thoughts and Prayers" or "Strength and Solidarity"!

The Victorian Government is assessing what support we can provide, and we'll do whatever we can.

Dutton saying the Coalition is the party of the working class is like foxes claiming to be the party of the hen-house.

Does anyone know why @poolwerx #lilydale doesn't answer the phone, or phone back when you leave a message? Have they closed down?

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

To those who, with monotonous frequency, say “You’re a scientist, stay out of politics, stay in your lane”, I reply: Who, then, is allowed in the politics lane? Are scientists the only people who should avoid politics?

Please, all you purveyors of quality on this platform, come over to mastodon…

[Kevin Rudd @MrKRudd]

So Murdoch's Peta Credlin (a Liberal activist and fmr Abbott chief-of-staff) has done an election “special investigation” (aka character assassination) of Dan Andrews! Just imagine Murdoch's reaction if another media outlet hired my former chief to do a hit-job on Dutton?!

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

You are holding Julian Assange in a dungeon for exercising the freedom of expression you so ardently claim to defend. How about decriminalizing it at home before you take to a podium and point your finger abroad?

@MichaelDoyleMi1 @DanielAndrewsMP @JaclynSymes I think you need to stop reading the Herald Sun pal. It’s starting to show…
