If you follow me, don't expect that I will follow you back. I probably won't, unless you are turkey sandwich, John Sheppard or Jack O'Neill

Hey @amazon Stargate SG-1 and especially Stargate Atlantis were one of the best Sci Fi shows ever. Stargate doesn't need new or fresh perspective. It needs writers and producers who know what Stargate fans actually want to see.

When I was about 12, during the whole school year I was reading a book a day (full novels). I was borrowing those from my school library and I even got a reward for reading that many books. But some of the things I read back then, I only fully understood much later in life.

[J.T. Alexander @JTAlexander]

A funny story about how I accidentally ended my wife’s interest in BookTube.

There was this girl she was watching that claimed to read 200-300 books a year. One of the books that came up in her list, somehow, was G.K. Chesterton. In her review, this girl said “It was good, I think, but I just couldn’t understand it.”

I told my wife two things:

(1) There is not one human that actually reads 300 books a year; and,
(2) If anyone could read that much, they’d have no problem understanding Chesterton.

I told her I bet that she just constantly had an audiobook on literally all the time playing at 2x speed like background noise.

Within a week, my wife showed me a new video of this girl admitting that my prediction was dead accurate.

Teroristi trebaju biti zapamćeni kao teroristi.

S tugom sam primio vijest o smrti Julienne Bušić.

Ostat će zapamćena kao književnica i osoba koja je obilježila dio hrvatske političke i društvene povijesti.

Njezina povezanost s Hrvatskom i hrvatskim iseljeništvom, kao i posvećenost Hrvatskoj za koju se zauzimala, ostaju trajno zabilježeni u povijesti naše Domovine.

The day after the CEO lays off a ton of staff and says:

“Non-technical teams are now pushing code to production with AI”

@coinbase has a major outage on their trading engine, and even their status page doesn’t work.

There’s a High Chance If You Were Around in the 1980s, You’ll Remember the Children’s Book Series “Choose Your Own Adventure.

Unlike Every Book You’ve Ever Seen Up Until Then, You Didn’t Read it Front to Back. Instead You Were Faced With Choices After Being Presented With All Sorts of Random Dilemmas. Best of All, There Were Dozens of Endings So if You Didn’t Like Your Fate, You Could Always Try Again.

People can make mistakes. AI makes mistakes faster and in such amounts that it is a whole new ball game.

This GitHub incident is insane. Merge queue commits have been reverting previously merged commits at random.

This not only breaks the mental contract teams have with Git in general, but is subtle enough to be really hard to unravel after the fact.

Something nobody’s talking about:

Senior engineers have to review AI code. Cool. But how do junior and mid-levels become senior without years of writing code by hand?

Smashing the magic button and tossing the result to a senior engineer for review does not make you a senior

[Dalija Prasnikar @dalijap]

@AdamRackis There will be a severe shortage of senior engineers in the future. And I mean real senior engineers who actually know what they are doing.
But those riding the AI hype don't care much about the future. They just want quicker and cheaper results now.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

— J.R.R. Tolkien
