I'm proud to officially announce that I'm the recipient of a generous grant from @VitalikButerin's Balvi fund to support the operation of @Co2Trackers. With this support, I hope to bring indoor air transparency to the masses.

A concerning dimension of this news is that they initially thought the woman with plague just had COVID. In a world with overlapping symptoms and normalized respiratory infections it would be easy to miss.

Someone needs to ask Trump what he thinks he is charging Korea for?

New matchmaking client, 35, 6', splits time between LA and NYC. He’s from a wealthy family, and says most of the women he’s dated have similar backgrounds. We’re discussing his relationship history, and he says he broke up with his last girlfriend, NYC-based, due to “entitlement issues.” I ask him to tell me more. He says he expects to pay for most bills, but his ex never offered to pay for anything. Not ice cream after dinner, not coffee, not even once. The straw that broke the camel’s back? He’s visiting her in NYC, they’re walking around SoHo, and she spots a beautiful jacket in a store window. He likes the jacket too, so they go inside the store to check it out. Turns out the jacket is unisex. She’s a small, he’s a medium, so he says, why don’t we get a medium and share it? The medium is oversized on her, but she says she likes it, so he buys the jacket, and she keeps it with her in NYC when he returns to LA. Fast forward two weeks, and he’s back in NYC to see her again. They’re at her apartment getting ready to go out to dinner, and he decides he’ll wear the jacket. He puts it on, and it doesn’t fit anymore. He mentions this to her, and she says: “Oh, the medium was too big on me, so I exchanged it for a small” 💀

I love those interviews of Italian business owners where the interviewer asks them how they feel about having to provide mandated month-long vacation time to their employees. Instead of bitching they were like, "We are HAPPY to be able to provide a good life for our employees."

I once worked with someone who wrote multiple compilers and a huge compiler framework by himself and all the code looked exactly like this. Twenty years ago or so. One day I emailed him about a bug and he sent me a patch by mail that had like 50 new lines like this. After applying it, I found one typo that indicated he hadn’t tried it. I wondered how it was possible to get 99% of a patch like that right in one shot. Now I wonder if he was a time traveler with an LLM.

My take on reversing the CoreGraphics bug: <1h net solo time, 95% autonomous, without ghidra or ida!

HOLY MOLY: Anthropic is now investing $100 million to train 10,000 engineers to deploy Claude inside companies by the end of 2027. The first cohorts include engineers from Accenture, Bain, Capgemini, Deloitte, McKinsey, Morgan Stanley, Novo Nordisk and Commonwealth Bank. Companies nominate their strongest engineers, who go through an in-person simulated enterprise deployment and graded practical before spending 12 weeks leading a real Claude deployment inside their own organization. Anthropic says they will be trained the way its own engineers learn. Anthropic already has 175,000+ Claude certifications across 46,000 firms. The first Frontier Deployed Engineer credentials are expected in early 2027.

We need to keep an eye on this.

The world needs more doctors like .@kasza_leslie Independent critical thinkers doing the right things for the right reasons Not just talking the talk but walking the walk A cardiologist with air purifiers, bathroom AutoUV & universal easy-breathing Q100 respirators for all 👏

Holy shit, America is cooked. They were able to perfectly clone the Microsoft Teams experience.

Jfc. I thought this was the old one, where 74% of Covid cases in Welsh hospitals CAUGHT IT IN THE HOSPITAL. But no! This is current! And 71% of Covid cases in Welsh hospitals CAUGHT IT IN THE HOSPITAL. Have they thought of applying some ... infection control? At the hospitals?

the Claude cot summarizer is truly deranged and pretty revealing of the underlying neuroses of the company User: “pee pee poo poo” “Considering the ethical problems with this request…”

Calling this "a man who loves rub & tugs" is a grotesque rewrite. Watson wasn't accused of hiring sex workers for consensual handjobs. His accusers included licensed massage therapists & spa workers who said he made the sessions sexual WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. That's the point.

Moved into a mold free house and all of my allergies, asthma, chronic headaches (that my doctors literally wanted me to have brain surgery for) went away. Told my grandma and she said “i believe it. even being there for 2 days helping finish packing i thought i was going to die”

The president was talking about Venezuela's role in drug trafficking, then started talking about the attack on Iran's nuclear sites...mistakenly mentioned drugs...and then, instead of just correcting himself, decided to pretend Iran's nuclear sites were indeed "drug factories." x.lingyaoai.com/Acyn/status/2105839593…

Pretty devastated to have become officially unemployed due to severe and incurable sickness, at the age of 35. For all those ghouls out there, I continued to work from bed until I was briefly hospitalised with dangerous heart rhythm changes during an autonomic crisis in April 2025, after having been ill since a mild COVID infection in 2021. As everyone who knows me is aware, things drastically deteriorated from that hospital incident, leaving me almost completely bedbound and reliant on full time care. No wedding. No children (apart from Rocky the cat) No job. No economic activity. My NHS GP is an absolute diamond and has finally secured my bedbound status so I can get some the basic blood tests and injections I need at home. She's also taken on all the private specialists' prescription requests and never once asked me if I'd considered getting some sunlight and going for a walk. However aside from her, the NHS does not give a F***. The government does not give a F***. The media does not give a F*** (apart from George Monbiot and less than a handful of others) My question is therefore simple. HOW DARE THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT SICKNESS RELATED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY WHEN WE ARE SCREAMING OUT FOR HELP TO GET BACK TO WORK??

apparently base model can predict "her" after "The princess lost..." due to two separate computational pathways: the femaleness of princess token + pronoun prediction following verbs

Rape victims usually compartmentalize things and act out their usual selves to keep some semblance of reality and continuity of their life. If you let yourself fall apart, you fall apart completely. You not only don't want to accept a part of you is broken, you can't. So you overcorrect. I continued posting photos just like these or moments I tepidly enjoyed moments of life, even when I was usually spending 23h a day in bed for a couple years. You can look at my IG - I made sure this period of years was indistinguishable. Depression in a previously type-A person rarely looks like the stereotype, if it ever does.
