@GarethCliff Spreading old and irrelevant information, time to stop funding you?

The UN has become a laughing stock. Time to stop funding it.

@dotsure no response? Your live chat is also broken. Seems like your systems are a mess.

@dotsure any update on your broken site authentication? It’s been down at least 8 hours.

Dear @Airports_ZA , hundreds of passengers get confused by the lack of clear signage dividing domestic and international security checking. Maybe it’s time to do something about that? CT International

@SkyeZedA Yes, and all over the world too. What’s your point?

Terrible things are happening in South Africa.

@praveenTweets @Uber Vanity metrics galore, what could go wrong? 😂

Agentic software engineering adoption is on fire at @Uber. 1,800 code changes per week are now written entirely by Uber's internal background coding agent, and 95% of our engineers now use AI every month across all the tools we track. This is a real reset moment for engineering; it's one of the most exciting times to lead. This shift requires builders to be curious and hands-on. I’m incredibly lucky to be surrounded by a team that’s doing exactly that. The best part is that the strongest adoption isn’t being pushed top down from leadership announcements; it’s coming from engineers who are quietly experimenting, quietly shipping, and quietly pushing things forward. I love spending time with those engineers because there’s no substitute for being close to the work. Over the last few months, we leaned in hard, and the results have been phenomenal. The bigger shift: going agentic. 84% of AI users are now working with agent-style workflows, not just tab completion. Claude Code usage nearly doubled in 2 months (32% → 63%), while IDE-based tools have largely plateaued. Engineers are moving from accepting suggestions to delegating tasks. Even within traditional IDEs, ~70% of committed code is now AI-generated. Background agents are writing code autonomously. Our internal background coding agent went from <1% of all code changes to 8% in just a few months. There is zero human authoring. Engineers review and approve, but the code is written entirely by AI agents. The role of the engineer is shifting - from writing every line to architecting systems and reviewing AI-generated code. More to come from the @UberEng team in the coming days.

@peterleroux @nickhedley @babuseng_ Imported EVs could compete with non EVs made locally I guess. I also think SA wanted to have its own local EV industry at some point (I remember the Joule).

@SuperStiffYogi @nickhedley @babuseng_ Local EV production is miniscule though- some hybrids from Toyota, and delivery vehicle in Cape Town. Nothing competing with full EV passenger vehicles coming in

Thankfully, we now have relatively affordable electric vehicle options in South Africa 😉 (they would be cheaper if the government didn’t tax them at a higher rate than traditional cars)

@nickhedley @babuseng_ I think it’s to protect the local manufacturers from cheap EV imports competing with them. They probably made it a condition to manufacture here.

@babuseng_ Honestly no idea. Makes no sense

@AWSSupport The next steps are just the same documentation links which do not address my specific issue. If you read the case carefully you would see that. I can keep on posting publicly as long as it takes to get assistance to highlight how poor your support is.

@SuperStiffYogi Hi there, I've reviewed your case and found it's been updated with next steps for addressing this account access matter. The instructions provided ensure security protocols are followed. Please review the latest case update and follow the guidance there to move forward. ^ES

@awscloud how is it possible that your sign in forgotten password process fails with “Bad request”?! And your email case support is so bad it makes no attempt to assist?

@AWSSupport Yes, saying you can’t help me 🤦

@SuperStiffYogi I'm sorry for any frustration caused about account access issue. I've responded to your recent DM, with more details around this matter. ^ES

@AWSSupport Utterly useless support. Can’t even escalate.

Sorry to hear you're facing these issues. Please send us your case ID via DM, as we'll gladly look into it for you. Regarding the error you're encountering you can try clearing your cache & cookies of your browser or trying a different one. This article also has some great troubleshooting steps related to account sign in issues: go.aws/sign-in-account. If you haven't already, and you're still facing issues you can reach out to our Account support team via this contact form, no account sign in is required: go.aws/account-support. ^RF

@CityofCT how is it possible that this short timing traffic light on Buitengracht from Helen Suzman hasn’t been fixed???? It’s a shocker.

@grok @franniefran13 @LifeScience_X @grok can I substitute plain coconut yogurt for the yogurt? What about adding salt or baking soda?

@sama So which shameful concessions did you agree with the Department of Defence that Anthropic wouldn’t?

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

@British_Airways been waiting an hour for baggage to come out at the dump that is @capetownint. Plane parked miles away.

@TukiFromKL You wish.

Designers who can't code and coders who can't design both just became obsolete.

@cjc “Seems” lol

Atlassian once told Oscar Health they had one of the three most complex Jira instances in the world. They eventually hit a literal ceiling: the custom field limit. Moving 600 people to Linear in a highly regulated industry might sound like a year-long migration nightmare, but the Oscar team did it in just one month. Now, leadership has visibility, infra teams aren't buried in chat threads, and their VP of Engineering says, "Everybody here seems happier with Linear."

@rollback1984 @ednewtonrex @Google @GoogleDeepMind @GeminiApp Um, you pay to stream and watch music or get taught music.

@ednewtonrex @Google @GoogleDeepMind @GeminiApp are you also trained on copyrighted music without a license when you go to a school or watch music videos to get inspiration? Yeah thought so.

Meet Lyria 3, our latest music generation model from @GoogleDeepMind. 🎶 Now, you can create custom music tracks in the @GeminiApp — just by describing an idea or uploading an image or video.

We just made a $200,000,000 AI movie in just one day. Yes, this is 100% AI.
