Here's my conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his 3rd time on the podcast, but this time we talked in the Metaverse as photorealistic avatars. This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It really felt like we were talking in-person, but we were miles apart 🤯 It's hard to put into words how awesome this was for someone like me who values the intimacy of in-person conversation. It gave me a glimpse of an exciting future with many new possibilities and fascinating questions about the nature of reality and human connection ❤

If all it takes to kill the Voice is two Aboriginal people who’ve been happy to front the disinformation campaign and an opposition leader whose disingenuousness can be seen from the moon, then this country is simply not capable of intelligent debate.

SQLite, used in every phone and browser in the world, has 3 developers, millions of tests, and no manual testers. So don't tell me you need a 1:1 tester:engineer ratio for your "mission critical" system.

@troyhunt Yeah, about this…

@cullend Just like Gmail on iOS opens links in Chrome instead of the system default browser (but it doesn’t let you change it!) so it seems the “new normal”…

I’m beginning to think that giving a psychopath his own private army of criminals was not a good idea.

*Mind-blowing* new NASA video showing CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels...

Twitter is closing its doors to hobby bots like this one. They tell us a week before this happens.

There's been a lot of measured, well-mannered commentary from other makers of Twitter bots. I thought I'd share my uncensored thoughts instead.

Fuck this.

"As right-wing troll memes go, it is Dad-level, 4chan–Clark Griswold stuff, which is to say it’s desperate engagement bait in the hopes of attracting kudos from the only influencers who give Musk the time of day anymore: right-wing shock jocks." https://t.co/ywaRlRlD3u

Twitter has fewer than 1000 users-per-server right now, a shockingly bad number that creates enormous costs. they should be at least 10,000 users-per-server, and really closer to 100,000.
The solution is radical changes to their software stack.
