Cowork lets you complete non-technical tasks much like how developers use Claude Code.

Neutral atom qubits are paving the way for scalable quantum computers.

Early #sponges were soft https://phys.org/news/2026-01-earth-early-sponges-soft-scientists.html

Independent origins of spicules reconcile paleontological and molecular evidence of sponge evolutionary history https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adx1754 by Maria Eleonora Rossi et al.

"the first sponges were soft-bodied and lacked mineralized skeletons. That's why we don't see sponge spicules in rocks from around 600 million years ago—there simply weren't any to preserve... spicules evolved independently in different sponge groups"

Text contrast that’s hard to read. Menus that are inconsistent and hard to interpret. Windows that are hard to resize.

Engineers who don't agree with a design decision will do as little work as possible to make it look “as designed”. In this context, having it not work right is a feature.

I’m guessing there are folks at Apple who are very happy to see all these critiques of macOS Tahoe.

RE: https://wandering.shop/@xgranade/115883972029010549

There should be a list documenting which open source projects are making use of "AI" code generation (eg: code stolen from other open source projects without following the licenses), and that list should track the last clean no-"AI" commit for future forks.

This is because I want to not run "AI"-generated code on my computer. If you disagree with this, you're saying I have no right to keep slopware off my computer, and in fact information must be hidden from me to prevent me from avoiding it.

I cannot believe (I can totally believe) I have to say this, but please don't resurrect the open-slopware list.

I firmly believe that a list of encumbered F/OSS projects should exist as a resource to help people avoid AI encumbrances in their own lives. I similarly firmly believe that AI boosters should be held accountable.

Those are not the same goal, though, and conflating them leads to disaster.

Threaded applications often have the need to move and remove content between groups/communities for curation purposes (i.e. resolving miscategorization, spam, etc.)

This is an extension of the Resolvable Contexts tree of FEPs.

The FEP draft has been submitted for review. In the meantime, it can be viewed here: https://github.com/julianlam/feps/blob/fep-f15d/fep/f15d/fep-f15d.md

Wie würdet ihr einen hoch angesehenen Wissenschaftler, der in TV und Print dauerpräsent ist, davon überzeugen, nicht bei Instagram zu starten ("so wie Sloterdijk"), sondern hier?

Die normalen Argumente kenne ich alle, aber vielleicht fällt euch noch was anderes ein jenseits von Digitaler Souveränität & qualitativer Reichweite versus Drecksumfeld & Faschistenfreund. Sollte eigentlich reichen, klar. Aber ich frag euch trotzdem mal.

Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage"

We 🫶🏼 our friends on The Forkiverse, so we've waived the one-week waiting period to bridge to Bluesky, Blacksky, Northsky, and the rest of the ATProto ecosystem 🌐

This always works.

Me in 2012: "Hey, it’s only 23:30! I can still work on some servers and updates!"
Me in 2026: "Hey, it’s 21! I can finally go to bed and rest my eyes!"

#TimeFlies #GettingOld

I’ve been in bed with the flu over the last 5 days and it’s been quite bad and today I feel like I’m finally fit enough to wash my hair. It badly needs it and there’s a lot of it, so wish me luck 🥺

Today was also the first day I went outside again, to take the garbage out. A bird took advantage of that moment to poop on me (thankfully just on my coat and not on my hair). I guess it was the universe’s way of telling me that staying inside for a bit longer was the way to go. Anyway, my coat is clean now and drying, so maybe tomorrow I’ll try again. For now: hair.

oh, this doesn’t happen often: found a new way to fuck up the usage of git:

• git add ., which is too broad in that it included a bunch of random scratch files in the root of the repo
• git commit --amend to smear that into the repo real good
• all in the middle of an interactive rebase, to make sure undoing this using git reflog isn’t too easy

i think i’m just gonna go for a walk…

我觉得我现在干的事不能叫“vibe coding”，得叫“guide coding"，拿Agent当一个技术不错，干活很着急，人有点二逼的中年工程师用（你国大龄码农常见画像）；你来把控大的结构，给他非常具体的指引，让他在写码之前明确的解释自己在干什么，然后批准他一个函数一个函数的实现内容，效果是可以的，甚至加上一些跟中年码农对话常见的，好的，很好，不错，接下来之类的屁话，效果可以更好...

What I'm listening to today: "Untitled", Korea Undok Group

Mysterious music embedded in a mysterious artifact: a 1982 cassette tape from a Winnipeg experimental music label, meaning, one musician in Winnipeg selling their own cassettes mail order. In 2025 this was re-released on Bandcamp, then de-re-released. Primitive, distant, seductive, calling to you like the fair folk singing in the woods. Click "Stop" at 4:28 or you may find yourself permanently stuck in the 1980s

The plot isn't too interesting, but the characters are so realistic

Sometimes, she gets excited and pounces at the screen. We had to tape the TV to the wall to make sure she doesn't destroy it
