@fictillius The train from Tullarmarine airport

Is there anything you can’t put chilli crisp on?

@fOx1257067 Just blindly copying the visionary, @BennyScarf. This dickhead will never see profit land.

@J_Meanwell Every Sydney suburb contains a UNESCO heritage-level wonder. You just need to propose a nearby development for the residents to discover it.

Been a while since we played this game: Give me a vendor, I’ll tell you what their AWS re:Invent booth swag should be.

@retrobike_c16 I have bought multiple pieces from solidteknics.com and I couldn’t be happier

Recommendation request: need new pans Requirements: induction suitable, non stick (purists need not apply, these are family daily users) Durability most important, then heat dist then lightness (I get inherent conflict) as one user has knackered arms. Price no issue Thx 👍

@heavybrick26 @Peter_Fitz @WWilson37457 Check the fuel mix on the AEMO website and you will see just how reliant on gas SA is and how their spot prices reflect this. I’m a firm believer in getting to 100% renewables but SA don’t have the license to brag on this.

@WWilson37457 @Peter_Fitz South Australia runs at +70% renewable energy. Personally, we haven't had an electricity bill in a year. We have 16kw of battery storage. The money we've made has paid our Gas bills. Just saying.

Senator Cash, I respectfully submit that you have put your name and office to promoting complete and demonstrable nonsense - and should retract. This authoritative article explains it well. Thank you. #Auspol reneweconomy.com.au/spotlight-has-…

@aakashgupta @RealGeneKim Just ship it, what could go wrong?

The cost of porting software between languages just collapsed from "hire a specialist for 4-8 weeks" to "give an AI the repo and check back tomorrow." This guy pointed Codex at the original SimCity C codebase, didn't read any of the output code, did very little steering, and had a working browser game in a couple of days. To understand how wild that is, you need the history. The SimCity source code went GPL in 2008 under the name Micropolis. Since then, three separate developers have attempted full ports to modern languages. Don Hopkins spent years recasting the C code into C++ classes for MicropolisCore. That required deep understanding of 1989-era memory management, tile engines, and simulation loops written to fit inside 640K. Jason Long spent months rewriting it in Java. Bil Simser started a Unity C# version and blogged an entire series documenting the pain. Each port required someone who understood both the source and target language, could trace simulation logic through zone evaluation and tax collection, and held the full architecture in their head while translating piece by piece. The AI did the same class of work in a weekend. Memory model translation, event loop restructuring, graphics pipeline conversion from C pixel manipulation to browser canvas rendering. All handled by the model, with a human who never read the code. Every company sitting on legacy COBOL, Fortran, or old C++ codebases is staring at a migration cost that just dropped by 95%. And that number is only going down.

@adorablegov One of the weirdest but most awesome things in Tokyo: eng.abbeyroad.ne.jp

Heading back to Tokyo now for a few nights before home. Gonna do a convenience crawl where every convenience store like 711, family mart or Lawson i pass I have to have a piece of their delicious fried chicken. So like a pub crawl but much healthier.

@adambspencer @dontattempt Thai?

Wow even by David Astle ⁦@dontattempt⁩ Friday cryptic standards this is WEIRD! Multiple clues are repeated today, eg exactly the same cryptic clue gives two different answers “National draw reported (4)” HINT; name of a nationality that sounds like a synonym for draw 🤞

@db_fink He should be stripped of his Royal title

Imagine if this happened at Carols by Candlelight. Because that is what has happened to Australian Jews tonight. And the very same people who fostered this hatred were jumping on the stage at Carols by Candlelight last year waving the PLO flag. If they try it this year the crowd will tear them limb from limb.

@dannolan Maybe they just need to take a good shower but perhaps that is a bridge too far

To be English seems to just be humiliation after humiliation

@joeroganhq @DavidPocock - Australian rugby legend and the most principled human to ever serve in parliament. We could all learn a lot from him.

Name someone who you think deserves to go on Joe Rogan, but is overlooked.

@adamcarolla The hardened borders don’t just keep illegals out. There are plenty of other places in the world that are more welcoming of the tourist dollar.

Souvenir costs caused by tariffs. The LA times really blew the lid off of this story

@JWilkinson87 @GrowAIHub Seriously mate, Python isn’t that hard to learn.

@GrowAIHub SEND

@taipan168 Just get a Wise card and pay spot + 0.5%

Always, always, always choose the local currency not your home currency if you see this screen 😡

@Giancoder @old_alexeykrol @svpino I completely agree - modern frameworks do so much of the heavy lifting, a competent coder can deliver so much without coding that much. Understanding what production-ready means from day one means more than these people understand. When they learn I’m sure it won’t be their fault

A programmer has never been a middleman, not since they ceased to be just temhe hands typing in the instructions sent down from the engineer room on paper (the reason why 0 bar exists). That is a cartoonish view that has nothing to do with the practice of the job. While programming is more about defining task than coding, it's also about choosing the definition of the problem that helps solving it in the correct computational/algorithmic/data orientated way, and up to date AI has been terrible at that. Last but not least, while I do use code generated by AI, I have seen and corrected so many devastating errors in that code that I quiver thinking what would happen if managers didn't fear using AI generated code, if not for anything, at least because of regulatory frameworks. Best case scenario, planes would fall from the sky like flies. (I am in the business of writing AI agents too, BTW).

I just met a person who can't tell Python from C++. He has never written a single line of code in his life, yet he feels he can build anything he wants. He told me point-blank: "I challenge you to tell me something I can't build using AI." I tried to explain, but I couldn't find the right words. The most fascinating aspect of vibe-coding is how it has convinced so many people to believe they are better and more capable than they really are.

@VoteLewko The community is crying out for volunteers. It takes a lot (a lot) of time, often requires difficult work (in addition to your own job) and is mostly thankless. Walking over the Sydney Harbour Bridge taking selfies in Palestinian cosplay for likes is so much easier.

Once upon a time, people who wanted to make the world a better place would volunteer within the community and put in the hours. Today they bang a saucepan, post a couple of hashtags and convince themselves they're a much better person than you.

@VoteLewko At least he’s only shitting on Jews metaphorically. Count yourself lucky!

Former Labor headkicker Mark Latham is furious that lightweight Albanese is pissing off way more Jews.
