Money is a shared delusion, a fraudulent compact between rich & poor ascribing value 2 worthless tokens 4 the illusion of societal security.

@DanNeidle I believe this is referred to as late filling. If it failed to file, then it'd be wound up - which is clearly not the case here.

It's not that surprising that a property holding company owned by a political party makes a teensy taxable profit. It is surprising it's failed to file accounts. Potentially an offence (albeit one that's almost never prosecuted).

@DanNeidle A simple yes or no would've done, but OK if you say so.

@iCreateOFX Please read the thread.

On Friday we revealed the Companies House vulnerability letting anyone access the private dashboard of any UK company. This is the moment I first saw it demonstrated. My reaction says it all. What do we know? What don't we know? What should companies do now?

@murphsicles Creatives will swear by a reefer! Each to their own, but yeah, maybe try and re-brew that wine with pods from the 'fine plant' for flavour and who knows where that'll lead to.

I can honestly say that the best work I've ever produced in the last 30 years, 10 out of 10 were produced in the flow state between "had a few glasses of wine" and "absolutely smashed off my face". Just goes to show you that inspiration can manifest at the weirdest of times.

@elonmusk Yep!

The truth shall set you free

A year ago, Labour MP Joani Reid wrote this charming letter to Jeremy Corbyn demanding he "must decide" if he backs the UK government on foreign affairs. "The British public deserves to know", she said. Today her partner was reportedly arrested on suspicion of spying for China.

@chribjel And you get to have $200 credit for 3 months! Used it (the CLI now on version 0.3 and Gemini 3.0 with ralph) on a few greenfield apps for over a month now and the needle has barely moved.

again gemini is topping every benchmark, but still nobody actually uses it

The justification for charging tuition fees, with reverse triple lock interest, and resulting 9% extra income tax, is the graduate premium. This, you are told, is the extra lifetime earnings from which you will benefit as a degree holder. And we believe that to be between £100,00 - £150,000 over the course of your career. But “believe” is the operative word. The thing is, we don’t know. But the government does. That’s because they have something called LEO data - Longitudinal Education Outcomes. And it tracks the university, course, and earnings of nearly 40 million people. Here’s the kicker: they won’t release the full data to the public, to you. Only to pre-approved researchers. And even then, they don’t get the whole dataset. That’s because pressure groups that represent universities have lobbied for it to remain private. They say you can’t measure the value of an education in a salary. That it’s about the soul and the mind and enrichment and growing up. And I agree with them, if only for the fact that they did have a really specific idea of the value of an education when they were taking my money. And indeed the government does too: +9% on my marginal tax rate. So the ask is simple. Release the records. Let graduates make an informed choice about the actual value of their degree. They just have to press publish. What have they got to hide? x.com/lfg_uk/status/…

The first thing that Labour must do is to acknowledge that they did not win the 2024 GE - the #tories lost it - thus the leadership does NOT have a mandate to shift the party to the right, let alone ape Reform.

We already know from this Wednesday's #PMQs that the spring statement will include the students' loans U-turn, if not as @HackneyAbbott suggests, next week. It is the #Tories in power and #Starmer in office.

@James_M_South @robert0muehsig Default reaction? It was a considered reaction based on your very own statement barely 24hrs prior. But hey, if you say you over-reacted, maybe you did.

@robert0muehsig @iCreateOFX Yes, I overreacted and I'm sorry. However, it is positivly distopian that the default reaction to AI critism is "You're holding it wrong".

GitHub Copilot needs to dump all the useless models. Claude Haiku for example is like communicating with Dory from Finding Nemo

@jack @blocks When the AI starts building itself to a better self, I think @jack has actually gone soft; should've been 80%

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

@jairomsb @jack @blocks You need to understand that the AI that you think has led to this is not the AI that he knows to exists.

@jack @blocks A 4k people layoff is insane. Driven by AI usage nonetheless. You may frame anyway you want to, but this is a move that will stain your brand.

As I was saying ... twitter.com/jack/status/20…

The AI wrote itself! shumer.dev/something-big-…

@James_M_South Oh well.

@iCreateOFX FUCK OFF. I USE IT PLENTY. I'M WATCHING THIS IN REAL FUCKING TIME. I'VE JUST LITERALLY WATCHED IT BUTCHER A FILE WHILE EXTRACTING SEOM CODE INTO A STATIC METHOD.

@James_M_South Yep! If you are using agent mode, set it to auto rather than selecting a specific model. I think you are being throttled on a single model, set it to auto and it'll 'automagically' switch to the next best (and it provides the context on hand-off it seems)

Anyone else suddenly hitting GitHub Copilot limits in Visual Studio? I've the Pro account but barely used it and it errors out saying I've used too many tokens.

Which is faster, Rust or C? You don't have to guess, you can just check the nightly leaderboards for the Github Primes project. Each night up to 100 different programming languages are benchmarked on the same primes algorithm: plummerssoftwarellc.github.io/PrimeView/repo… And if you think your language should be faster, make it so!

@davepl1968 @zeta_lang - you ought to know this by now.
