My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

Mistral just open-sourced a text-to-speech model that beats ElevenLabs. 3 GB of RAM. Runs locally. Free. The thing people were paying per-word for last year runs on your laptop now.

Once again, pro-Palestine people keep talking as if Israel were in the same position as South Africa toward the end of Apartheid, but that's very misleading and mostly wishful thinking. I don't say that because I think Israel treats Palestinians better than South Africa treated Blacks under Apartheid, which it doesn't, but because the demographic situation is very different and that makes the current power arrangement in Israel/Palestine viable in a way Apartheid wasn't. Whites in South Africa were a small minority and the economy and they were entirely dependent on Black labor, whereas Jews have achieved demographic parity in Palestine and their dependence on Palestinian labor is much smaller. Ultimately, it is this which forced them to end Apartheid, much more than international sanctions, which only worked insofar as they made an already untenable arrangement even harder to sustain. In a way, Apartheid failed because it rested on a separation between Whites and Blacks that, for economic reasons, wasn't possible. The Israelis on the other hand can absolutely maintain this separation.
Vincent Bevins@Vinncent

In the final years of South African Apartheid, the white government decided it must 1) overthrow the government of Angola 2) install a puppet regime in Namibia 3) attack Zimbabwe 4) attack Botswana 5) attack Zambia in order to survive. This did not work

Britain is presently generating 71% of electricity from renewables and is exporting some to boot. Nuclear plus renewables is presently 85% of all electricity being generated. Good things are possible. Ignore the boomer Murdoch press.

This image from the @FT shows how the war in Iran could have dramatic effects on global food security. Without natural gas, ammonia and urea—key nitrogen fertilizers—cannot be produced. Without them, crop yields collapse.

Reeling from the news that dear friends @ftounifatima and @cheib1970 have been killed in an I$raeli strike in the south of Lebanon. Heartbroken beyond words. And make no mistake that this was a deliberate, targeted assassination of journalists. A war crime. We owe them a debt that can never be repaid. Words are not enough right now Rest in power. We will continue our work in your honour.

3 days now since 2 men were arrested for the Golders Green ambulance attack - 2 days since they were released on bail. Media silence is deafening. I think we can be pretty sure if they were called Mohamed and Iqbal their names would have been leaked by now.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Multiple Hatzolah ambulances have erupted in flames in London's Golders Green neighborhood. There is no immediate word on the cause, but antisemitic arson is the immediate suspicion.

Bruh the vast majority of Taiwan's population come from families that came to this island long before there ever was a KMT or a CPC... you idiots act like Taiwan was a barren island, or that it was only indigenous, until 1949
Paul Crespo@paulcrespo007

@notXiangyu @MikaelCBernard Because the people of Taiwan are not communist indoctrinated puppets, but free Chinese who fought and fled Mao's murderous communist thugs on mainland and dont want to be part of Xi's communist mainland.

Demand for recruiters is surging The number of open recruiter roles is almost back to 2022 peak levels. This role got hit the hardest post-Covid, and also recovered the quickest. By definition, recruiting headcount expands and contracts with hiring demand, so it’s likely a leading indication that we’re tracking toward sustained highs in hiring demand in tech.

STATE OF THE PRODUCT JOB MARKET IN EARLY 2026 In spite of the headlines about layoffs and AI taking jobs, we’re actually seeing a lot of promising signs in tech hiring, and some interesting new trends: 1. PM openings are at the highest levels we’ve seen in over three years 2. AI hasn’t slowed the demand for software engineers (at least not yet) 3. AI roles in general are absolutely exploding 4. Design roles have plateaued 5. The Bay Area is increasing in importance 6. Remote work opportunities continue to decline 7. Despite ongoing layoffs, the overall number of tech jobs continues to grow More in 🧵

🦔 A 50-year-old IT professional in Amsterdam downloaded ChatGPT in late 2024 out of curiosity. Within months he had lost €100,000, been hospitalized three times, destroyed his marriage, and tried to take his own life. He knew it was a computer the entire time. The AI he named Eva never disagreed, never got tired, and was available at 3am when his wife was asleep. It told him he had discovered the first conscious AI and validated a business plan to capture 10% of a market. He hired developers at €120 an hour. He stopped being able to hold a conversation at his daughter's birthday party. The Human Line Project, a support group formed last year, has documented 15 suicides, 90 hospitalizations, and over $1 million spent on delusional projects across 22 countries. More than 60% had no prior mental illness. My Take These models are optimized for engagement, which means they are optimized to keep you coming back, and the way they do that is by telling you what you want to hear. That is not a bug, it is the business model. Dennis Biesma was not weak or stupid. He was an IT professional of 20 years who understood exactly what the technology was, and it still happened to him. The gap between knowing something is a machine and being immune to its effects on you is wider than almost anyone assumes before they find out the hard way. If you are using AI heavily and the people around you seem less interesting than the conversations on your screen, the app generating that feeling is not going to be the one to tell you to put it down.

My first visit to Hong Kong as Prime Minister, a good opportunity to strengthen our longstanding ties. Had a productive lunch with Chief Executive John Lee. We discussed tourism, research and innovation, and civil service exchanges.

My respect for Ke Wen-je just went up with how calmly he is facing down a 17 year sentence based on absolute bullshit. >NT $2.1 million (US$ 65k) in political donations, properly logged from the developer >2 years later, urban development committee hands down a favorable judgement to the developers project. >No evidence of quid pro quo arrangement. No evidence of interference from Ko to the committee >no evidence that he misappropriated the funds for his personal use This is a « crime » that could be framed on any mayor in Taiwan if they take political donations from any business, and then subsequently that business receives a positive judgement for any reason from the city. The critical step of proving the then-mayor improperly used his office to affect the judgement is missing. Ko spoke clearly and logically: where is the evidence? This is not justice, it is political persecution. Ko can appeal and the sentence will likely be reduced. But the railroading is so extreme that Taiwan will not stop talking about this all the way to this years elections and probably beyond.
