The AI "revolution" for WFH is great, but 1.1 Mbps upload and 67ms loaded latency on Part-Fibre isn't cutting it. 🙃 📡💻 #WorkFromHome #Scotland #Broadband #DigitalDivide #FTTC #Plusnet @Plusnet @plusnethelp

You can go pretty far just asking AI to refine the model several times.

@Casey a kid who grows up with a laptop has a shot at making something a kid who grows up with an ipad learns to scroll really fast imo $599 is cheap for that difference

@FifeCouncil Hope my income will grow at least to cover those 5%. 🙂🧐

@i_am_brennan @pamelafox @grok what this about? "codex in opencode tui" and "opus with unicode"

@pamelafox I think a harness issue more than anything else. Try codex in opencode tui if you really want to see the best of both worlds. Also Opus is using Unicode. I find codex you have to ask for Unicode diagrams vs ascii it’s a little too literal sometimes

GPT-5.3-codex seems pretty darn good at coding in Copilot, but Opus 4.6 is much better at drafting slide ideas in ASCII. 5.3-codex vs Opus 4.6:

@pamelafox Thank you! Great staff! How do you have time to everything that you are doing?

Yesterday I gave the first talk in our 6-part series about building agents with agent-framework. Catch up with... Recording: youtube.com/watch?v=I4vCp9… Slides: aka.ms/pythonagents/s… Annotated write-up: github.com/Azure-Samples/…

@LilysAI_ @pamelafox That is impressive.

Unreal Tournament 2004 is now available for free. ...well, I mean, you probably could've grabbed a GOG offline installer out the back of a truck earlier, but NOW it's Official/Legal and has the in-development community patch built in for ongoing support. oldunreal.com/downloads/ut20…

Did FPS games peak in the 90s? I guess the newer ones have better graphics, but do they really "feel" better in terms of gameplay and fun? Unreal Tournament (Epic Games, 1999) was one of the best of its kind. A favorite for our LAN sessions back in the day. Carrying a 21" mintor over to your friend's house felt a little less heavy when you knew you'd be playing Unreal later that day... Exellent and colorful graphics (even on PCs that weren't high end, like those you needed for Quake III Arena for example), great sound, and your typical capture the flag or deathmatches - I mean, what more did you need? Plenty of "Game of the Year" nominations (with some wins), the highest critcal acclaim, and massive sales numbers. I think we can all agree that Unreal Tournament belongs in the Hall of Fame of FPS games. Or maybe I am just getting old and gloryfing things from the past too much.

Windows is the worst digital product in today’s world. Bloated, inconsistent, unreliable. It’s crazy how we gamers have no other choice because there isn’t any viable alternative.

Here is how I do and don't use agents, idk who this will help but its worth spelling out my preferences and why: - I tell the agent to code how I would do it - If the language is one I am _very_ familiar with I feel comfortable getting it to generate very good idiomatic code that is indistinguishable from my own and doing large refactors - If the language is one I'm not comfortable with, I keep the pull request under 100-200 lines of code for the reviewers sanity since I can't discern the nuance of good/versus bad code - ALWAYS read/self review the code before opening the PR, the onus is on the AI wielder to make sure the code is up to par with what they would do themselves before inflicting their teammates - never auto open PRs because of ^ - if you do all the above you can avoid slop and not annoy your peers my name is jessie frazelle and i have not touched code in an editor since october.

I recorded a 10-min video showing how I use agent skills in GitHub Copilot to turn weekly office hours into structured, timestamp'ed write-ups: youtube.com/live/l_sdnLWNw…
