“The LLM Misinformation Problem I Was Not Expecting | RIPE Labs”
😬
Also looks like Apple won’t apply EU regulations to the EEA unless forced to, even though EU regulations also apply here.
Honestly, the fucking gall.
“Big, beautiful, beefy focus states with :focus-visible | daverupert.com”
“iPad users will miss out on third-party app stores, browser engines, and more - 9to5Mac”
For fuck’s sake! And Apple wonders why nobody wants to make apps for their VR watchamathingy? Why commit to a platform hellbent on preventing experimentation and invention?
“A unified theory of fucks | A Working Library”
Yes.
So, looks like the built-in test runner, testing and mocking tools in the latest Node LTS release tick all the right boxes, huh?
“Five Things: January 25, 2024 — As in guillotine…”
😁
“Deciphering Glyph :: Unsigned Commits”

In fact, it risks sending the organisation into a downward spiral
Yesterday I wrote a retrospective on Uncluttered, a course I launched a couple of months ago
I think I need to figure out an alternative to Teachable and retool the course. What do you all think?
“An Uncluttered retrospective: Teachable is a mess and I need to pick a lane”
I did not know this was a thing. (Why, yes, I’m reading up on changes in Node, why’d you ask? 🙂)
“Adactio: Journal—Continuous partial ick”
