@emanueledpt My fault, old codex cli 👍

[Nick Johnston @nickjohnston]

@emanueledpt Getting the same on Pro, but patched and working now: “Codex app-server returns JSON-RPC -32600 Invalid request for thread/list and collaborationMode/list, so remodex must intercept these methods locally.”

A new DoJ indictment alleges that RT employees "covertly fund[ed] and direct[ed]" a US company with $10m in order to push pro-Russia content. The company is based in Tennessee.

There is one media company based in Tennessee with the same phrase listed in the indictment...

We have recalled Agent Truss from the field, her work is complete.

The GPS-jammer affecting aircrafts around Estonia is located in Russia, about halfway to St Petersburg from Narva, Estonia.

This is shown by plotting the highest density of intersecting radio horizons of jammed aircrafts on a map.

Further, a drone-based method supports it.🧵

I am 62 years old, single, and recently, after watching “Love Actually” for the 17th time — toxic though it may be — I downloaded a dating app and started the arduous process of vetting men so that I, too, might actually find love. Again. (a thread)

A big moment in Britain's industrial story happened today.
The coke ovens at the Port Talbot steelworks were closed.
This was where they baked the coal used to make millions of tonnes of steel.
What you're looking at here is the last coke ever made in the UK. Pix: @TataSteelUK

The internet is full of "nearly" good welds.

This is very neat, and certainly fit for purpose (looks like it could be some generic framework), but the fact that its all lovely shiny colours means its oxidised.

This is not to be celebrated, and means the shielding gas employed was improperly set up, meaning that the metal was still very hot when the inert gas shield was removed/had passed on.

To do this (nearly) perfectly you need either a trailing purge or an inert chamber. Nether of which will be practical in most real production environments.

This isn't good enough practise to pass aerospace or defence coded work, and is an example of bad process control but high operator dexterity (its very neat). The bead is quite course, I suspect that the welder is going pretty fast, meaning that the gas lens is long gone before the metal has cooled properly.

You need both to get a great weld. If some shiny bits race-car shop shows you loads of lovely pretty rainbow coloured welds, walk on by.

(I have a very old bit of paper somewhere with CAA BCAR A-8 10 written on it which means once upon a time I could have done that.)

Ho boy have I come across a corker here....

Strap in!

Immersive Willy Wonka event this weekend by some dodgy company called House of Illuminati was a huge flop as you can see here;

It’s past midnight in Europe. 2 years have now passed since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

What was planned as a 3 day operation turned into an attritional war which could still go either way.

Much will be determined by whether the West wakes up & starts delivering

With Tata steel having just confirmed the closure of the two blast furnaces at Port Talbot, here are a few important datapoints.
First, UK steelmaking has collapsed faster, over the past half century, than ANY other country in the world save for Venezuela.
Pretty shocking👇
