In essence a language model changes you from a programmer who writes lines of code, to a programmer that manages the context the model has access to, prunes irrelevant things, adds useful material to context, and writes detailed specifications. If that doesn't sound fun to you, you won't enjoy it.

Cloudflare is down which means that downdetector - the service people use to check if things are down - is also down.

Funny internet we are having now.

Biannual reminder: Starting Sunday Oct 26th, the next two weeks is the annoying time where the EU has started Daylight Savings Time (CEST -> CET), but the US does not change over until Nov 9th. Check your calendars, and ping your international colleagues if someone no-shows to a meeting!

Konkordiaplatz on Great Aletschgletscher is now snow-free... A bit later than 2022 but earlier than 2023 (year with second-most highest ice loss).
It hurts to see #glaciers entering a summer with massive ice losses again! And no cooling is in sight

The level of the lake created by the Birch Glacier collapse is rising by around 80cm/hour this afternoon! 📈

The water level is now higher than the roofs of tallest buildings, definitively destroying the chalets that were not directly buried 🌊

Meanwhile, I feel there is far too little discussion in policy circles how good AI video has become. This rather innocent example, although clearly not the same street, would fool a lot of people just scrolling through social media:
