Over the last year or so, IT infra people have been asked (ordered?) to deploy LLM-backed agentic features. Why not extend our old friend the OSI 7 Layer model - up into this brave new world? agenticwrestl.ing/agentic_osi/

@waitbutwhy Maybe they should just read their own coverage when choosing who to endorse? washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

Bezos is like “I think maybe my journalism company should try to do journalism in a professional not unprofessional way” and the rest of the media is like “wow look at how corrupt and cowardly he is.”

@sarah_edo @laurieontech It's probably worse. They know Her was dystopian, but they're arrogant enough to think they can fix the alignment problem at the heart of the movie.

@laurieontech It’s almost like that because it’s exactly like that

So, um, I’m not sure how to say this but… the movie Her was *supposed* to be dystopian, not aspirational thewrap.com/scarlett-johan…

@EconTalker is the GOAT podcaster. Fight me. pca.st/podcast/b67a4c…

@AbdallahSh07 @Celest_Dev Yeah, backend business logic in Dart sounds like a differentiator. I think Aqueduct.io tried to get full stack Dart off the ground, would be good to make sure you know why it didn't work for them.

While we are a bit away from being at feature parity with these Supabase and Pocketbase, we believe that a cloud solution built from the ground up to provide Flutter developers with a familiar experience to them is what sets us apart. With Supabase, your whole backend is built on top of Postgres, and you define and make changes to it by updating the underlying tables with SQL or by adding extensions. With Celest, developers define all of their infrastructure completely in Dart, including custom business logic to extend our out of the box functionality. Since all of their infrastructure is in code, developers using Celest can declaratively replicate their setup or create multiple environments . With Pocketbase, the above points around defining infrastructure as code still apply. We will also empower developers to deploy and manage their backends using Celest, so that takes away any devops overhead they would have by self-hosting Pocketbase.

We’re getting ready to launch @Celest_Dev , let us know what you think of this video!

@AbdallahSh07 @ycombinator Congrats! Awesome work. 🎉

Such an amazing time! @ycombinator is an absolute blessing!

@ChrisJBakke (ssshhhh! you're saying the quiet part out loud)

Feels like an appropriate time to mention: If any tech CEOs need a board member and want to pay me $300k per year plus some stock to dial into 4 meetings per year and just agree with whatever you want to do 100% of the time, my DMs are open.

@AbdallahSh07 @AWSAmplify @FlutterDev Best of luck with it Abdallah!

Friday was my last day at @AWSAmplify ! It was an amazing 2 years of learning and growing, working with amazing colleagues and customers, and making lifetime friends. I am starting a venture in @FlutterDev tooling, and I'm excited to share more about it soon!!

@allgarbled @DThompsonDev Ah, the gentle art of trolling.

@DThompsonDev i would rather they spend their time on something more directly applicable to the job, for example practicing leetcode contests

my two cents: as a FAANG hiring manager, when i see a developer resume that has open source contributions, i put it in the discard pile. to me it’s a red flag. how dedicated can you really be to your job if you have this much spare time to write code for free?

@MPlutoniumm Sensible defensive future-proofing. This is useful in case the value of FALSE needs to change due to business requirements.

@sisterinferior Skip the organic produce, for a start. There are no health benefits and potentially negative environmental impact. sciencebasedmedicine.org/no-health-bene…. bbvaopenmind.com/en/science/env…

@octal In an NHS facility? Is this some kind of anxiety prescreening?

Ah, UX.

@ramshackletim @BallsInYaMe0wth @michaelshermer Apparently you don't need sources if you use ALL CAPS

@BallsInYaMe0wth @michaelshermer Sources?

Even if RFKJ is not an anti-semite it is good to remember what he believes: radiation from wireless internet causes cancer; chemicals in water are producing gender dysphoria; the CIA killed his father & his uncle; antidepressants cause mass shootings; George W. Bush stole the 2004 presidential election; your phone’s 5G connection is part of a plot "to harvest our data and control our behavior" theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

@Aella_Girl en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to… Appeal to Nature is everywhere, and it's ridiculous.

I domt get why ppl value "natural" over "synthetic" chemicals - for example, I've heard multiple ppl say they like shrooms over lsd cause they can sense that lsd is synthetic but isn't this division happenstance? like how many *could* have been created by plants naturally? 1/

@maximilianhils Stay classy @IBM

No, it was not a joke. "Our paying customers need X, when will you fix it?" may not be the best way to introduce yourself to an open source project. #TodayInOpenSource

@alexgraveley Sorry to hear it, Alex. Typical nonsense that constantly happens in big companies. I think we just all hoped big tech would be different...

@renebrandel Keep adding random vowels to the end of their name until they twig. And then laugh together, uproariously at your cheeky jape.

How do you tell someone it's "Rene", not "Renee" 20 email exchanges in without making it awkward?

@Rich_Harris You're porting Svelte to @ziglang ? Awesome!

zig when others zag we're experimenting with moving the nav bar on *.svelte.dev to the bottom on mobile so that it's easier to use the site one-handed. feels more accessible, if a little unconventional. thoughts?
