Hey @marksandspencer you should have some serious words with your web development team:

a) I can't select a title on the website on mobile (clicking anywhere on title or control doesn't bring anything up)
b) It "corrects" my surnameh and removes the "-" in the middle.

Disapoint

My mistake, I sent my most salty lines of code. Sorry, I’m not a native speaker.

How Twitter knew that I was at just the right point in the cycle to review my space launch provider needs I’ll never know, but it seems like a smart move. Timely and well targeted advertising will never go out of fashion.

@JamesTimmins okay I'll rephrase: talking a good talk and convincing people he's a genius.

See: getting 39bn contract before firing a single rocket. Boring Comply, full self-driving

Just gonna slide this back onto the timeline

Sequoia Capital lost its entire $210 million investment in FTX. The good news is that everyone will soon forget about this embarrassment, because they also invested $800 million in Twitter.

👋 It's been forever :)

I'm finally back to building and it feels awesome. I'm catching up with the language models trend a bit late but, yesterday I built my first small @dust4ai app to generate coloring drawings for my kids with their favorite characters.

How does it work?

Once more. Musk is doing us an incredible favor by demonstrating beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no meritocracy and that wealth and power do not, in any way, denote talent or competence.

BBC need to address concerns with their published analysis of MP abuse released yesterday:

1. We should not conflate abuse & accountability

2. The algorithm doesn't seem to flag racism or homophobia as toxic.

Thank you for the kind words! So cool what y’all are doing, and so important!

@dakkar I have one. My cookware was already compat. (with the exception of a Moka pot); a massive improvement over "halogen"/any other electric hob

I used to have gas and induction is _almost_ as responsive as that. Plus: the kitchen doesn't get as hot.

I'd never go back.

@jaylett @devfort what you mean I came connect to the postgres database directly from my own shell? Why ever not?!

@IrisClasson @BranMacMuffin I think it depends on how "strict" the RE engine is.

But < and > aren't special characters for regex so don't need to be escaped, and I guess vscode's re engine is strict about that

Elon really is the substitute teacher losing control of the class and I’m SCREAMING.

Counter-point: when I launched Elastic Block Storage, I was working four days a week.

@jaylett can I connect to it with conch?

Remember remember the 5th of November, the gun powder treason and plot.

Oh I remember all right

Sending this message back to the late 80s/early 90s to let them know they got the cyberpunk dystopian future pretty much right.
