Something I've been working on for a while... salubase.com Privacy first blood test tracking. Works for any provider, in any langage.

Free speech absolutist

People blaming Thatcher for everything are seriously letting Cameron and Osborne off the hook

"This time Zelensky has gone too far!" Etc etc Incredible that after 100 years of conflict the US and Russia have finally found ideological common ground. Oligarchy

Whatever Putin has on Trump better be fucking good...

One thing I way underestimated about AI coding is just how much better the tooling is getting Major things we all use all the time ported to rust, running way faster. Sleeker UIs and dev experience for CLI tools All that stuff is having a huge impact, especially on new projects

Is anyone in my network investigating blossomup? Seems like another cambridge analytica data harvesting scandal brewing... or simply no one cares any more and there is no scandal either way it's very sinister

I used to think the Piss Tape was real. Now I think it's probably much worse

Brown University’s widget shows that the energy costs of the Iran war have just passed $1,000 per household iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

Holy shit FOX NEWS advocating for solar?! www.foxnews.com/opinion/ai-r...

Tesla getting sued for racist discrimination "Black workers’ monthly compensation was $1,533 lower than that for white workers" "The use of the n-word was...pervasive at the Fremont factory, which Tesla... referred to as the plantation" calcivilrights.ca.gov/2026/05/27/s...

I actually started salubase.com before agentic coding as an exercise in NLP to perform pattern matching for blood result markers i had from tests in different countries. It's nice to finally "finish" something #buildinpublic

One nice thing about llms doing maths now is you can just kind of do it too, for fun overreacted.io/how-i-vibed-...

Well put techcrunch.com/2026/09/17/m...

I've had to learn about some of the weirdness working with 2d maps lately. The world is round, it turns out. I wrote a bit about how you calculate things which cross the anti-meridian line. Probably everyone who's ever worked with maps knows this, but I didn't. jeromegill.com/blog/antimer...

Even the Wildfire Tracker is on fire in France incendieencours.fr/en

If Troy was in Turkey, and Ithika is where I think it is, odyssus really fucked it

Tedious week of playing "who hasnt bothered looking up cueta on a map" vs "who has and is just a lying grifter"

Rereading Deep Work lately It's been a while since I read it The idea that creative work needs a Read-Think-Write cycle hits so much harder this time I realise I have no Think time any more Hours of the day with no screens or stimulation, bored, letting the cogs turn It's critical

I resonate so much with this person. I've always struggled to focus. Recently I made a big sideways career move into a technical role The last time I had so much to learn at work, I didn't have a smart phone It's so much harder just to chill and read and think now glyphack.com/attention/

My strategy for learning new tech was always read the best book I can then build something with it There's a cutoff around 2024 when every tech book just became ai slop Trying to find learning strategies that work in the age of llms and distraction machines is absolutely desperate I'm tired boss

Not nearly enough people read propublica www.propublica.org/article/the-...

2 factor auth is a psyop to make it impossible to turn your phone off at work

Im so bored of right wingers talking about air-conditioning Yes install them, yes with solar power

Britain's next prime minister

today I learned... www.fieggen.com/shoelace/sec...

Don't look up e360.yale.edu/digest/trump...

These are amazing spectrum.ieee.org/trinity-nucl...

The fact that im absolutely shocked anyone from labour has anything that almost looks like an idea shows just how bad the starmer project has been. Zero expectations he would actually do anything if he gets in though www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Makerfield has the opportunity for absolute comedy

Streeting as Labour leader is the clown car of the apocalypse lol

Literally the only advantage Wes Streeting has over Farage in a general election is the fact that he is considerably cheaper to bribe

250+ reform seats is not a green victory, people

It's funny how all these tech billionaires hate each other but tell us that the future is safe, as long as we put it in their hands, specifically

The fact that people search with chatgpt shows just how bad Google fucked it. Enshitification is the defining market perogative of late stage capitalism

Global Witness are hiring two data investigators globalwitness.org/en/careers/c...

Claude is finally better than me at CSS it still can't centre a div

I hate to say it but after a month of coding with Mistral, switching back to Claude feels like a dramatic improvement. I tried mistral for the sake of giving "European" tech a chance, but it just isn't good enough. Claude became "good enough" some time last year. I hope Mistral catches up.

Social media doesn't randomly stop being harmful at 16, and bans won't prevent under 16s from accessing it. Meaningful change means banning harmful practices that affect everyone such as infinite scroll and "for you" feeds. Feeds should be only accounts you follow by default.

I'm not worried about AI coming for my job I'm worried about it making my job as annoying, shit, stupid and expensive as possible then not coming for it

Been using Mistral Vibe for a while for the sake of using European tech I was trying BDD with cucumber which is pretty cool Unfortunately, to "pass the tests" instead of implementing features in the app, it just inserted stuff directly in the db in the tests then checked if they were there. Lol

While Wes Streeting is signing contracts with Palantir, France is ditching Windows for Linux in order to sever from US tech reliance techcrunch.com/2026/04/10/f...

was that Melania speech one of Iran’s demands

I am astounded every time this man expresses an opinion. Meanwhile Pedro Sanchez is calling for Netanyahu to be arrested for genocide www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
