Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

How much of Gaza is left standing? Analysis by independent researchers reveals the scale of the destruction

“The studies imply that estimated life expectancy [in Gaza has fallen by more than 35 years, to half the pre-war figure. In percentage terms…bigger than…during China’s Great Leap Forward; in absolute terms it is similar to the one in the Rwanda genocide”

Bullies are everywhere

What’re you most impressed by? Or what do you think people are undervaluing?

Got vertigo yesterday. Would not recommend.

Epley maneuver is a life saver.

This is CSS performance problem I see all too often.

The React website has some jank due due to their use of transition.

Here is how to find what causes it and how and fix it

Is there anyone or anything that does not suck? Maybe constrain it to things that are human-made that perpetuate our current capitalistic model in some way

There's a good chance the 4.5 years old will enjoy it. My barely 5-year old daughter enjoyed it.

My personal ranking for superhero movies this year:

#1 Thunderbolts
#2 Fantastic 4
#3 Superman

I haven't watched Captain America 4

For sure there’s lots of reasons to be skeptical, and lots of reasons why they could fail. Any kind of large innovation has those kinds of risks and skepticism.

Most of the time the innovation doesn’t pan out, but sometimes it does. And I’m hoping this is one of the times it does.

I think this is a situation where it takes 10 years to be an overnight success.

There’s lots of industries that will need fossil fuels for a while and it seems their tech makes them cost competitive and will only get cheaper as tech and scale improves.

They’ve been pretty open with their tech. I suggest reading the various press releases they’ve put out.

If it’s a fraud it’s a weird one. Most frauds try to scale quick to take the money and run. These guys have been going frustratingly slowly lol.

So what will Israel do with 2 million dead bodies? Will they burn them? Giant mass graves? Will they sort the dead? All babies together, all women, all men, etc. think they’ll bury or burn families together?

Will they keep some alive to bury and burn their dead family and friends?

Canada should cease diplomatic relations with Israel. Expel all Israeli diplomats. Sanction the individuals in the government.

Send aid in boats to Gaza’s coast.

Freeze any assets held in Canadian financial institutions.

What a wonderful lecture. If you want a competitive edge against AI systems then this kind of knowledge and thinking is essential.

The Canadian government must do everything in its power to bring an end to the genocide of Palestinians by Israel's government.

Stop all diplomatic relations now.

Expel their ambassador.

Israeli government is worse than apartheid South Africa.

A statement by Doctors Against Genocide which reads: To all international humanitarian organizations, The situation in Gaza is spiraling beyond any medical or moral threshold. The limited stock of intravenous fluids in our hospitals is no longer sufficient to treat the waves of starving individuals arriving at emergency units — from infants to the elderly, they are collapsing from pure exhaustion and hunger. This is no longer just a humanitarian crisis. It is a deliberate, systematic starvation of an entire population. We urge you — Speak. Act. Intervene. Nasser Medical Complex

“a deliberate, systematic starvation of an entire population”

#Gaza

a stop gap will be the MCP server returning deep links that brings up UI to do the action (refill credits, update share settings).

Eventually though I think MCP will support "UI objects" from servers and clients will render the UI directly themselves

I'm trying to go MCP first for my side-project. Haven't actually built anything yet (lol) but thought experiment has run into some potential rough edges:
- file uploading to my service
- complex interactions like updating share settings of a resource
- payment

AWS IAM account setup is a friggin nightmare OMG what is happening. Also lots of quite basic UX problems and bugs.

Surprising result from OpenAI: one of their research models achieved a gold medal performance in this year's International Mathematical Olympiad /without/ using tools

Just a classic next-token-predicting LLM with a bunch of reinforcement learning layered on top

The Builders Club A place for builders.

The Builders Club is pretty much the perfect coworking place for startups.

Has my highest recommendation!

One of my more optimistic thoughts is that at a deep level intelligence is truly correlated with social good. And so as AI models take on more responsibility and they get smarter, then there will be more social good in the world.

What a disgusting pedophile rapist creep. I already hated seeing and hearing him, but now just the thought of him makes me nauseous. He's the symbol of raping underage girls.

I'm proud of this number

I'm probably interpreting "cool" differently.

I think it's super cool we can use english to program computers now, and it actually works a lot of the time!

I don't think it gives me the right to wear sun glasses and a leather jacket though

Do you read the compiled assembly your code outputs?
