Well.. ATC in the north of the Uk was down today as well. Fun.

They’d be like yeah no problem.

TV with smart features: $999. TV without smart features: $1,200

“A bitch to setup” - $180bn should pay for that setup problem to be less of a bitch surely.

The Mars Perseverance project cost $2.7bn to deliver. Way more of a bitch to deliver than air gapping a test env!

“Smartest of the smart” - what does that do to get its air gapped network connected to a physical network? Blackmail the admins?

Even with a single agent, why the hell was this not properly air gapped / disconnected with network monitoring in place. Definitely not adequate for anything.

This is like sysadmin 101 level stuff.

Right?? Not sure how you start a negotiation without the first move being a no.

"I miss websites". Damn that hit. I realise the only place pushing me to an actual website these days are my RSS feeds (self hosted FreshRSS), and HN. Maybe very occasional share on LinkedIn.

The Jumanji “What year is it” meme 100% applies here.

Wave. That was more of a tech preview though I guess.

OMG I love this!

I was at an industry event this week. a CEO of a startup took the big board of vendors who are present, put it through an LLM. It summarised the companies he should be looking at discuss partnership opportunities with and why based on his business. Spot on.

I was trying to think when I stopped browsing and using Flickr. You just reminded me.

All the references about Data Center water use were from one guy too.

Oh man. "Rolled with the D5 on my recent trip around the moon, decent performance, very light and easy to hold in zero gravity".

The way the stack is described reminded me of this masterpiece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE9W9Ghe4Jk

That game is AWESOME! The fact that was vibe coded is insane.

Hard agree, but Average Joes have no idea what any of those words mean let alone the means to do it.

Anyone able to use the API? The CSV link is dead and I cant get the API to authenticate. The Beta flag doing a lot of heavy lifting here, but I love the idea!

WUPHF

Time to decouple the UK Electricity price from Gas so we can actually reap the benefits of this as a consumer.

If the current government reversed it, the 'oh think of the children' angle from the Tories/Reform against them would be relentless. I cant say they have been amazing at messaging as it is.

Good faith LOL

Totally. Still getting my head around this write up but it goes into a lot of detail. https://aaronparecki.com/2025/04/03/15/oauth-for-model-conte...

The order of doing things while flying…

Arranging a reroute with ATC, explaining everything, adjusting the autopilot for the new route etc. Assessment time on what to do. Those in the back don’t need to know anything until those decisions are made and executed. It’s not like there’s a negotiation to be had!

Amazing how quick that story blew over.

Before Brexit I knew tech companies where they had a UK EMEA HQ, where they would have people looking after all regions, with people living and paying tax in the UK. Post Brexit, so many people started moving home, companies started opening more local offices in region. So the people who would have been on high wages paying high tax here, sending in the UK, are not back in their home country.

Great for their home country, bad for the UK.

Imagine trying to perform a “right to forget” request on data that was trained into the AI?

AI Agents, when discussed on podcasts by tech “bros” and execs, seem to forget that most people are price sensitive. When booking a flight, we take into account cost, travel time, whether or not we’re a morning person, a meeting we need to make that’s not in the diary (texted a mate to catch up). If it’s reading that as well. I don’t want an Agent booking me something that on paper looks the best, but is £200 more than it could be with a small trade off.

Plus, these execs all have Executive Assistants that act as the abstraction layer already. This is maybe why it feels like a no brainer to them. They already share their lives with these people, why not share the same with an AI??

Google Street View is a pretty good example of this. And the issues of having someone driving around with a massive WiFi radio and loads of cameras.
