This whole segment just rubs me the wrong way Jensen is very clearly talking up his book: wanting to see companies spend *much* more $$$ on GPUs / tokens... to increase NVIDIA revenue even more... to do the same thing as they already do (build software, as they have before)

@atticrahman Not joining in with Trump's war in Iran, for starters.

Up from £1.43 for Diesel, remind me how Labour are fighting the cost of living crisis - they made.

@DragonflyDoji_ @DanNeidle @grok Did Grok cite any sources, or share any calculations? Or is this just a load of nonsense? 😅

@DanNeidle @grok Grok gave me a 87% probability that you’re not being fully transparent and are purposefully manipulating the narrative. Interestingly it only gave me a 7% probability that Samuel Leeds is misled on his knowledge of tax. Interesting.

More tax nonsense from "influencer" Samuel Leeds. "I just sold my castle. On paper, I lost about £3.5m. But here is the part most people will not understand. It is also a tax write-off... the loss can be set-off against profits" No it isn't, and no you can't. Oh dear.

@just_some_dev But he fixed the bots! 😂

@geerlingguy @TrueNAS And MinIO!

@TrueNAS Smells like CentOS, this kills TrueNAS for me, a Homelab enthusiast / freeloader.

Uh @TrueNAS is this true? linuxiac.com/truenas-moves-…

@GergelyOrosz I assume it's this version? Doesn't look like it's possible to buy it any more 😕 store.serif.com/en-gb/update/u…

@BenjaminEHowe I bought my version years back, paid once, have no account! The reason I bought it in the first place

This cancellation dark pattern is slowly killing Adobe It turns promoters (customers who love the product and pay for it) into vocal haters I am an example as well who got tricked into the sub you cannot cancel without a penalty. I will NEVER buy or recommend Adobe again

@GergelyOrosz It looks like Affinity was bought by Canva and requires an account? I know they claim it'll be free forever but I'm skeptical, especially if (or when) AI features cease to be an effective premium feature.

I found Affinity thanks to Adobe’s hostility for PDF editing (I have zero affiliation, beyond paying for it - it’s a one-off payment, no sub) Screenflow for video editing (also pay once) SO MANY alternatives, none which have Adobe’s unethical “pay to cancel now” pattern

@vinke_rob @SouthernRailUK In the spirit of backup equipment, perhaps you should've planned to travel on an earlier train so you had a "backup" train service in case your planned service was cancelled?

@SouthernRailUK I’d rather have a functioning service for the £3k I pay per year. Compensation isn’t useful. In my company we have backup equipment so we look after our customers. Maybe Southern should do the same.

Morning @SouthernRailUK. Care to explain why you’re cancelling a rush hour train? #southernfail

@SouthernRailUK shout out to your colleague doing announcements at Gatwick Airport station – super helpful in enabling passengers to re-plan their journeys following the decision to terminate 9T63 at Three Bridges.

@just_some_dev Looking at the BoE's press release it seems like a reasonable process has been followed? Don't get me wrong, I'll be sad to see Turing disappear from banknotes, but hopefully £50 will be one of the last to be replaced as has historically been the case. bankofengland.co.uk/news/2026/marc…

@BenjaminEHowe Yeah but generally they refresh with figures and they are stopping that in favour of not

Alan Turing was a guy who was persecuted by the state for who he is, getting rid of his note is clearly abhorrent, but we don’t need to whitewash Churchill to acknowledge this

@ScottMcGready @techspence This but cables being plugged in.

@techspence I drove 2 hours, after being told that something was definitely the case, to find out that it was, in fact, definitely not the case. (Batteries had died in a mouse)

Tell me you’ve worked in IT without telling me you’ve worked in IT. I’ll go first… Did you try turning it off and back on again?

Before I was an MP, I worked on the current series of polymer banknotes at the Bank of England. So I know how decisions about our currency are made, and why they matter. Nigel Farage clearly doesn’t. What he conveniently ignores is that central banks regularly issue new banknote series. It’s how they stay ahead of counterfeiters and keep our currency secure. It’s technical. It’s essential. And it’s completely routine. So why is he manufacturing outrage? Because Farage and Reform UK have spent months attacking the Bank of England itself. They’ve demanded the Bank halt quantitative tightening. 💷 They’ve pushed to stop interest being paid on central bank reserves, which would completely destroy monetary policy transmission. ⚠️ And Farage has even suggested replacing the Governor with someone aligned to his agenda. Let’s be clear: Politicians leaning on central banks is how you spook markets and undermine confidence in the economy. Bank of England independence, brought in by the last Labour government, exists for a reason. To keep markets and household finances stable. I back the Bank to keep our currency secure, not to be dragged into political point-scoring. So if Farage spent half as much time understanding how the Bank works as he does attacking it, we’d hear a lot less of this nonsense. ❌

@Soothsayer_69 @MetalXMeta @LeakerApple Once upon a time it was very normal to replace your RAM to make your laptop last longer

@MetalXMeta @LeakerApple how often did you have to repair any of those components?

This guy disassembled the MacBook Neo in 6 minutes. It’s the most repairable Mac ever made. It has no tricky adhesives, everything is held down with screws.

@mat_d_r @seatsixtyone I suspect the TOC will try to weasel out of it on the basis that they don't believe they're responsible for overcrowding / poorly designed stations.

@seatsixtyone Does that mean you can claim delay repay, if it’s show as a connecting service?

Wonder why they bother showing connections like this? True, I *did* get to see the 15:49 leave in front of me by the time I fought my way over the footbridge, which was nice. But realistically, the 16:19 is the Oxford-Bicester train you’re actually going to end up on, innit? 🤷‍♂️

@JustJake It's fine for it to be in a database, just never part of a key... Right?

Guess what I'm refactoring? An externalID that ended up in a database...

Rule #1 of distributed systems: Never, EVER allow something else to define your UUID

@eoslick @MattieTK @DanielMiessler Cloudflare is a cloud platform. It provides all sorts of thing, including a CDN, bot protection, and a crawling service. As long as there's no evidence that the crawling service is being given "special" privileges I think it's acceptable.

They shouldn't be hosting the crawler at all. Separation of duties argument. Cloudflare is a CDN who provides bot protection. By providing a bot for crawling, Cloudflare is playing both sides. I'm not a futurist. I just look at risks. And there are financial incentives here that are unknown. They might not be abused today, but that doesn't mean they won't be abused tomorrow. And given Cloudflare's position, there could be a Google size moat that makes it very hard to pull back from if it goes the other way.

People are completely missing the point of this feature. Most accidentally and probably some on purpose. They stated very clearly that this obeys all blocking and content rules for your site. It’s literally the opposite of bypassing those controls. The purpose of the system is to get rid of all the halfassed AI crawlers all over the Internet that are doing a crappy job of pulling your content. They are loud, rude, and wasteful. And they’re filling the internet and all our logs with massive amounts background noise. Cloudflare knows they are going to crawl no matter what. This feature is simply giving them a legit way to do it efficiently so that they don’t clog up the entire Internet doing it in a way that it’s 1000x less efficient. And it’s still uses all your rules for what can and cannot be crawled. And all of your other Cloudflare controls around crawling are still enforced. If this is adopted to any significant degree, Cloudflare will be absolute heroes for reducing terabytes of crawler-slop background noise.

@eoslick @MattieTK @DanielMiessler Not sure if open sourcing helps here? How would you know that the hosted product is running the same code as the open source repo? Or are you thinking that they shouldn't offer hosted products?

@MattieTK @DanielMiessler Trust is not a single point in time virtue. Why not open source the crawler mechanism instead of having it go trhough your endpoints and servers?

@shaunsimmonds I hope one of the Train Companies helped you, as required by Condition 28.2 of the National Rail Conditions of Travel?

@SouthernRailUK @GWRHelp Hi Kieran, the train departed Filton Abbey Wood at 20:07. Please see screenshots to show current journey and how I’ll be missing my last train home by 12 mins. Thanks.

Hi @SouthernRailUK, I’ve just been held up as a fight broke out whilst I was on a @GWRHelp service from Filton Abbey Wood to Fareham - meaning I’ll be missing my connecting train (the last one today) to Shoreham by Sea. Anything you can do to help?

@JustJake @neuralamp4ever Is your plan unsubsidised? I don't think Anthropic is profitable yet, because their products are subsidised by VC money?

@neuralamp4ever You can't sell tokens below delivery at every tier or you will go instantly belly up. Or you cook your books. The $200 plan is subsidized to bring people in to the real org level plan (what we're paying for) That's how they have 60% gross margins

Our org is on track to spend $300k on Claude this month Zero regrets. We've literally never moved quicker
