Bananas 🍌 - You open the #GitHub #Copilot chat in #IntelliJ IDEA and your fancy Macbook Pro (M3) turns into a space heater. It is an open Copilot issue for months 😳. It seems that accumulating a fairly large #AI context triggers this. Starting a New Agent Session helps.

Pier in downtown Kona. Starting point of the Kona IRONMAN. A tiny bit of beach sand is visible to the right. A few people are standing in the turquoise water towards the left. Lot of people on the pier. Mostly blue sky and a few palms in the background.

Did a magnificent 2km swim @ Kailua Bay this morning. A school of dolphins passed directly below me + saw a small ray swimming by. Visibility was fantastic! Doing a swim during the #Kona #IRONMAN week is always an experience. ❀️ #Hawaii πŸŒ΄πŸ€™

One important improvement in #Kamal 2.x is that #curl is no longer required for your #Docker images in order to perform health checks. That way way you can use slim base images, e.g. @bellsoft.bsky.social 's Alpaquita based image for Liberica #Java, e.g. jdk-25-cds-slim-musl β˜•.

W/likely persistence of highly anomalously warm nearshore & offshore ocean surface temperatures in NE Pacific for at least another couple of weeks, days & esp nights will continue to be mild in places w/coastal influence & any inbound storms may have more moisture vs usual. #CAwx

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a β€œdeep state” probe in early 2025.

OMG. Tom Homan was reportedly under FBI investigation for taking $50,000 in cash allegedly in exchange for a commitment to steer government contracts to a specific company. The entire thing was recorded, as it was an FBI sting operation.

The Trump admin dropped the investigation entirely.

I've been working on #climate issues for years, but every now and then I step back & think how unbelievable (and sad) it is that scientists have shown for decades we're literally changing β€” in a bad way β€” the climate of the entire planet and yet society refuses to deal with that existential threat.
