Interesting new research shows the human brain rewires itself during five distinct “epochs” over a lifetime (with turning points at 9, 32, 66, and 83), with markedly different characteristics in brain architecture in each phase. This suggests cognition and intelligence do not simply increase to […]

For the Americans in the room... If you're hanging out with family this week and need a movie to watch, Playdate was hilarious and cute.

Enjoy! […]

@monkeybrains signing me up for political mailing lists that I never asked for is so far beyond disappointing. Glad I made the switch to Sonic.

My personal heroes and projects I admire are @signalapp @Mer__edith @torproject @gnome @thunderbird @ryanleesipes . I’d much rather have Mastodon be inspired by the contributions of these people and projects to the FOSS and non-profit technology world than trying to rebuild early Twitter.

The "tax resolution department" scam people have clearly identified me as a mark who will eventually fall for it if they call me enough times.

A technology leader told me today they are not getting as many people to try #ai as they would like because engineers don't blindly trust the LLM.

When you #selfhost, you will never have any problems with #aws being down.
All you have to do is:
- Ensure you have a decent power supply
- Have your own servers
- Be able to troubleshoot networking issues at 3AM because your electronic lock won't release and your child can't get in the house

Today is my first day at AWS.
I noticed a small bug in DynamoDB clustering implementation and I think I fixed it.
Shipped to prod already.
Going to make a coffee and will check back if everything is working.

People talk shit about California drivers, but you know what I've not experienced here? Road rage.

I just saw someone wrote that developers might feel more productive with AI...
But everyone also insists that they are that one exception who is actually good at multitasking.
And that's going to be living rent-free in my head for quite some time.
