Just got the best gift from my wife and kid…. A new sticker that I have been waiting for my whole adult life.
The most perfect sticker in the shape of a generic raffle ticket. The ticket is numbered “827830” and says “⭐️SHIT⭐️ SHOW” in bold letters and “ADMIT ONE” in smaller text underneath. This is my own personal ticket to the SHIT SHOW. I feel like I’ve finally made it. I always knew I needed to go The mayhem just continues to grow I’ve waited my turn for a ticket Now I know just where to stick it Finally got my ticket, to the shit show

I often always remember this scene of Measure of a Man from TNG, where Picard realises the dire moral implications of the judgement over Data, and the way in which Patrick Stewart portrays the full weight of it.

I didn’t have a lot of Male Influences in childhood

but I had Patrick

he brought such weight and clarity of purpose to Captain Picard. this shining beacon of strength and integrity, curiosity and drive

this idea that our lives are FOR something, that we owe ourselves and each other

Shelley's new compaction algorithm: a tool that the model calls to "squish" and "trim" prior messages. Joint work with @maisem.com. Read all about it at blog.exe.dev/compaction.

At about 200k tokens, the harness nudges the model to use a compaction-in-place tool to trim tool outputs and squish messages together.

good post and roundup by @jkriggins.bsky.social - what's next for DORA and the tech industry in measuring engineering team performance? i see Atlassian DX and AWS as key centers of gravity. Will be closely watching what @lauratacho.com and @nathenharvey.bsky.social cook up at AWS.
What’s next for DORA?
Google has stopped running the DORA survey, leaving engineering leaders without an independent benchmark as AI makes productivity harder to measure.

LOL! Americans are over here trying to spend $10,000 a year on gas! ⛽🤡

Meanwhile, other countries can buy a whole car for $10,000, and spend nothing on gas.

I love the humanity in this article. Trans people are good sailors and great to have at a barbeque.

if the navy was really only 9% gay it would be a world historical low
The Navy has nearly twice as many people who identify as gay, bisexual or transgender — 9 percent — compared to other branches, according to a 2015 report by the RAND Corporation. That was clear to a Navy paramedic who was retained by a board in July. The paramedic, who asked to not be named because he feared retribution, said he was stunned when his lawyer asked a chief, a lieutenant commander and a commander sitting on his board if they knew any trans sailors. “They all said yes,” the paramedic recalled in an interview. “The chief said his liberty buddy in Thailand was transgender and was a phenomenal sailor. The lieutenant commander said her first work center supervisor was transgender, and she learned a lot from her. The commander said he’d worked with several transgender sailors, and he barbecues with his next-door neighbor, who’s trans.”

Anyway. Putting people in camps is bad. Shipping people to third countries is bad. Vilifying trans people fucking sucks - let them live. Corruption fucking stinks. Giving grants to Black kids is good. Not using slurs is cool. Accepting and cherishing people is sexy. Inclusive workplaces rock.

I love the header image on this post. Went to look up the history of the original Yahoo! sign and even the article I was looking for was no longer there.
