@jimpo_potamus @radi_cojbasic It takes balls to try hard things, and perhaps even more balls to know when it’s time to fold. Excited to see where you guys go next!

Irreducible's time has come to an end. Long story short, @radi_cojbasic and I ultimately came to the realization that we couldn't sustainably build the kind of deep tech business in ZK that motivated us.

Sangita Myska viewing figures was not the problem.

Bella Donita holding an Israeli official to account in January on Sky News, it was her last ever appearance. Like Sangita Myska she was cancelled. RT the hell out of this, we can't let the Media get away with this.

We are thrilled to have David Palm (@dvdplm) join us as our new Head of Engineering. Prior to joining us, David was the Head of Engineering at Parity and he brings a wealth of experience as we move closer to launching our testnet. #Team

Je n’appelle pas au calme. J’appelle à la justice pour Naël. Les habitants des quartiers savent. Ils savent que sans la vidéo le policier aurait menti, et rien eu. Comme pour le roubaisien Amine Leknoun tué l’année dernière, et dont l’enquête patine encore lamentablement.

"Because we didn't want to, quote "provoke Vladimir Putin," By showing weakness we provoked Vladimir Putin...I was deeply disappointed in the United States of America when they (Ukraine) begged us for defensive weapons." I miss John McCain. He screamed to #ArmUkraineNow

I've got a bunch of bluesky invites, anyone want one?

In 1977, media prophet Marshall McLuhan discussed CIA and FBI surveillance, and then turned it into one of the most mind-bending riffs on identity in the digital age I've ever heard.

@goldman @zeebap2 First-person story of working with Elon Musk: "Back when I was at SpaceX, Elon was basically a child-king...he was surrounded by people whose job was, essentially, to manipulate him into make good decisions... Managing Elon was a huge part of the company culture..."

@carydunn I think there’s a race for time here too: atm there’s a lot of actual human generated content online to train off of, but soon enough we’ll be flooded by ai generated texts, images and sound. So the next gen ai will train on ever more diluted data.

It becomes a race to aggregate the most data (the more proprietary and harder to obtain the better)...and the most energy and compute resources to spend on training

One of the most concerning aspects of the current AI excitement is the potential acceleration and weaponization of data collection for the purpose of training models...*cough tiktokgooglefacebook*

Design is dead.

Amsterdam airport police running after hundreds of climate activists blocking private jets while on bicycles is objectively funny nos.nl/l/2451147

When I first confronted one of the missile programmers months ago, I asked him how he sleeps at night after what he does. He snapped back: "Be professional. Ask a professional question". I asked him why they kill so many civilians. He wrote "You know well I can't answer this".

new little song: "The Re-Org Rag (I'm My Own VP)"

@caulagi Likely nothing, at least for as long as things are good. I guess if you work with people you actually like it’s not really a chore. Avoiding chores is critical I think. :)

@dvdplm Interesting. I kinda see your point but not entirely convinced :) What would happen if you stopped having these meetings?

A routine I really dislike as an engineer is the 1-to-1 with a manager/coach. Why do we have those? What do you talk about in them? Give me an example when its been useful.

@tomaka17 Crash-only software, it’s a thing. :)

Part of the reasons why I wrote a kernel is to confirm by experience (as I couldn't be sure before) that "panic and stop" is a completely valid way to handle Rust panics even in the kernel, and "warn and continue" is extremely harmful.
