In the latest example of corporations existing outside of the law, SpaceX (who is for some reason the controlling entity of xAI now) announced they'll be removing the illegal, unpermitted gas turbines they've been running at their Memphis Colossus data center... by July 2027. xAI gets to flout economic planning and...
For the first time I can remember, I'm not choosing my daily driver models on raw intelligence. I'm choosing them on speed. Have we reached an intelligence tipping point? This is probably going to age like spoilt milk, but right now, models around the ~Opus 4.6 level seem to be 'smart enough' for most of my daily...
I have come to understand four very different time scales for development of technologies and their deployments. And I think people often jump between them and end up making outrageously wrong, and sometimes damaging, predictions of when in the future a technology is going to be able to do what. Time scale 1.

It can be problematic for a councillor to belong to a community group that get grants from the local authority they sit on. Managing such conflicts of interest requires strict transparency.

I smell nods to Edmond Roudnitska's style in Remarkable People, Cécile Matton's 2015 creation for ELdO. I think it's the curry and champagne notes.

I learned of Blaugust from the IndieWeb wiki a couple years ago and decided rather spur of the moment to join in this year for the first time. I have honestly been in a bit of a rut (burnout?) when it comes to writing, so a community event like this could help. I have participated in National Blog Posting Month...
Ron Gilbert has just announced Thimbleweed Park 2, which you can already wishlist on Steam. I’m excited! I was a fan of the original game and I’m always happy to see Ron working on a new adventure game with the folks that made the first game. As part of the announcement, you can also follow the development blog...
Dean Kremer, the last Oriole among those acquired in the Manny Machado trade, is now a Twin. Almost the last link to the dark days of the rebuild. Ryan Mountcastle is still, tenuously here, and OK, there’s Keegan Akin, who I’d forgotten has been on this team since 2020./ Kremer was never a star for the Orioles. But...
