Anime about someone who makes a living off the prediction markets, but the trick is she's psychic, so she has to constantly be fooling everyone into believing she has really good intuition, and she has to frequently intentionally take dives on bets so nobody notices she's *always* right, and whenever she makes a longshot prediction she has to backfill reading various books she can claim after the fact were the research that caused her to realize her prediction would be right,
Armin Ronacher, who even very recently has previously has been very pro ai agent vibecoding to the point of criticizing critics, seems to have stepped back and asked the question: are AI coding agent users all experiencing mass delusion... including himself? https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/18/agent-psychosis/

if i were to move macwright.com to a vps / caddy setup: what are people using for servers? i'd love to avoid google/aws. most of my readers in the us so i probably need at least one server there.
Come hang with us for an hour at What's New in Wagtail. If you're looking for a new #CMS, you get to see Wagtail in action. If you already know and love Wagtail, you get to ask the maintainers your gnarliest questions w/o waiting for a forum reply. Everybody wins!

Hey, remember that time in 1938 when Britain's Neville Chamberlain met with Adolf Hitler and, being convinced that ol' Adolf just wanted Czechoslovakia and nothing else (despite the anchluss of Austria a few months before), signed the Munich Agreement, which basically allowed the nazis to invade Czechoslovakia?
And then Chamberlain returned to England having just signed the Munich Agreement and told crowds in London the Agreement meant "peace in our time?"
Not sure why that's come to mind lately.
Also, why is Greenland in the news so much lately? Is something happening?
Turns out the whole #Cyberpunk literature was overly optimistic.
I once came across an internal web app that allowed users to enter a date in any format and then stored it exactly as entered, without any validation instead of ISO 8601. The code would then try to apply the correct display format at runtime. It was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. And before you ask: noop, I didn’t fix it. In fact, I pretended I didn't see it. Nobody ever gets paid extra for fixing someone else's mess and experience taught me this the hard way. I ain’t touching that s**t 😛

The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office has said that there are multiple injuries, although it's unknown whether any are fatal at this time. Vehicles involved include cars, semi-trucks and tractor trailers.

Please keep in mind:
Surveillance capitalism is surveillance.
It's not mild surveillance,
it's mass surveillance.
The president of #Bulgaria just resigned somewhat unexpectedly. Why so? He has decided to create his own party (likely a populist one) and run in the upcoming parliamentary elections. We've had 7 of those in the last 5 years and the fun never ends!
I don't like him one bit, as it seems he's in russia's pocket, but he's fairly popular overall - mostly because he always tries to position himself as someone fighting corruption.
The next 3 months will be... interesting...

さっき、高市の本日の会見のダイジェストを眺めたが、印象は一言にまとめられる。
「私を認めて」という悲鳴に近い叫び。
眼の前にいる個人としてなら憐れむ。しかし国会議員の選挙の意味とは100光年ぐらい隔たっている。我々はなぜ、自分を愛せない人の叫びを、我らが首相の「解散する理由」として全国生中継で一時間近く眺める事態になっているのか。事実は小説より奇妙である。
