@dhh Ok

@ClementGaill Le seul problème c’est que les clims maintenant doivent les réchauffer considérablement.

[Bruno Virlet @bvirlet]

@ClementGaill Est-ce que les cours étroites des immeubles parisiens peuvent être considérées comme des patios. Est-ce que avec un système de courant d’air la nuit on pourrait les rafraîchir ?

@DonnyWals Image Playgrounds!

Ahead of #WWDC, I’m less interested in “AI everywhere” than in developer APIs that make useful, private, local workflows better. For document apps, every token has a cost: energy, latency, privacy, trust. AI should earn its place.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

@nikitabier @levelsio It's still plastic. Skeuomorphism in real life.

@DonnyWals For You sucks, tbh. It's not For You, it's just "what they believe will get engagement or attract your attention".

@ClementGaill OK pour la ventilation nocturne mais il faut que l’air extérieur soit plus frais que l’air intérieur pour que ce soit efficace (au-delà de le sensation de confort due à la ventilation) ?

👏🏻

[TelemetryDeck @Telemetry_Deck]

One of the biggest TelemetryDeck projects this spring was completely invisible to almost everyone: We migrated our entire infrastructure to @Hetzner_Online without data loss and apparently without causing enough chaos for people to notice. 😅

@VCBrags @nikunj It’s AI slop anyways

[Bruno Virlet @bvirlet]

@jtaby AI will free us if we go gardening. It will alienate us if we start a second AI session to do « more work »!

@arielmichaeli Do you know for a fact if the custom pages are the main driver of performance, or are they just grabbing a few extra %?

[Bruno Virlet @bvirlet]

I'm happy with the "Following" timeline. I just wish "For you" would surface genuinely good content.

[Bruno Virlet @bvirlet]

@nikitabier
This is my "For you" timeline. Sure, I will spend some time watching some of these videos before realizing I wasted my time. But all this content is objectively 95% 💩. It's just "engaging" content.

[Bruno Virlet @bvirlet]

Someone bring back geocities plz

[Jacob Eiting @jeiting]

@can do i like that digg exists again? yes

[Bruno Virlet @bvirlet]

@drbarnard Does it make you consider more organic food for the family?

[Bruno Virlet @bvirlet]

@steipete Sometimes you ask for a local review and it says everything is alright (similar to what https://t.co/S7BBrmnqq3 will find), then the review we run as part of CI (we use https://t.co/9ZaOVhoecI) finds many more (legit) issues.

@romainhuet gotta love the subtle messaging
