Do you have any idea what they might do further to diagnose this?
Finally got around to learning the song "Breathe" by Pink Floyd on the piano. The chord sequences are just dripping with chill. This song reminds me of Zepplin's "Rain Song," in that I could listen to it and play it for hours on end. Pink Floyd recorded this song with a guitar mostly doing the chords. It sounds amazing with the keyboard filling in, especially with some funky preset like 70s funk.
Breathe:

There's now a Fediverse alternative to TikTok called Loops. It's currently in beta testing so it is rough round the edges, but you can sign up and try it for yourself. More info at:
You can follow its official account at:

Loops now federates with the Fediverse, there are several Loops servers and Loops accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc (e.g. @dansup).
Stay strong. We can outlast Trump's stormtroopers. #ice #minnesota #iceout
Activists are calling for a nationwide shutdown on Friday, advocating “No Work No School, No Shopping” in a #protest against the #Trump admin’s sweeping #immigration crackdowns.
Organizers say Friday’s #GeneralStrike is part of a growing #nonviolent movement to combat #ICE’s aggressive enforcement tactics, which have come under renewed scrutiny following a series of fatal #shootings involving federal agents.

What a 💩-show at the cutting edge of AI 😅
As the article states there are plenty of things you can do to mitigate the risks, but it seems convenience is just too much of a draw. I know of some people who are gleefully installing this right now. Personally I'm seeing how AI can be powerful and useful in some cases, but this level of abdication? That's crazy.

bert: ernie, i keep thinking about that dumb thing i said to maria last week. and then i start thinking about all the OTHER dumb things i've ever said
ernie: ooh, you're doing the thing! the suffering thing
bert: the WHAT thing?
ernie: see, bert, there's pain - that's when you stub your toe. but then there's suffering - that's when you stub your toe and spend three hours mad at the coffee table, the floor, gravity and yourself for having feet
bert: i KNEW feet were a mistake
ernie: the buddha called it the second arrow, bert! first arrow is the ouch. second arrow is all the stories you tell yourself ABOUT the ouch, bert
bert: so the dumb thing i said was arrow one
ernie: and the three a.m. replay marathon is arrow two! you're just shooting yourself over and over, bert. with your brain
bert: how do i stop?
ernie: you notice you're holding the bow
bert: that's it?
ernie: that's a lot, bert! most people don't even know they're armed
bert: so i just put down the bow?
ernie: or at least stop aiming at yourself. the coffee table's not coming after you. maria probably forgot. and your feet are doing their best
bert: my feet ARE doing their best

New cat (pictured) is a sweetheart. I’m amused at how much of each day is spent by the old cat just staring absolute daggers at her cos she’s in his favourite spot or whatever… but they’re getting along great, lots of playing and no aggression. I’m pleasantly surprised.

Folks read "mass 16k layoffs at amazon" and may think it's not great, but I don't think they realize how deeply it can, will, and is impacting stability of services they may be rely on.
Rushed mass layoffs like this have lead to stories emerging of on-call staff having accounts locked on them as layoff notices arrive early 6am in the morning as they are mid response to pageable sev2 events, leaving the event on going and unaddressed, and the rest of the team asleep while there is no oncall coverage for that and future events till the team wakes up and starts triaging that their on-call was axed in the early morning with no notice.

This article very nicely puts into words my thoughts about the absolute mess that is today's software industry.
One point I want to add: please finish your software. Please define a finite scope of problems that your product solves, and when that's fulfilled, put your project into maintenance mode where you only fix bugs. Finished software is beautiful.

I’ve been going through some old CDRs to poke around in the weeds, properly archive some things before these decompose, and find some old missing photos/etc. Anyway what the hell was I thinking here?
I’m on a train and someone clearly hasn’t realised that their headphones aren’t properly connected to their phone. That in itself is nothing new. However: by the sounds of it, this person is listening to an AI-generated audiobook. As in: both the writing and the voice seem GenAI’d, and both are so bad lol
