That assumes AI isn't used to review AI code. As it turns out that AI is great at finding vulnerabilities.

Did you stop reading the article at the first data center? "More improper redaction shows that the data center using the most water annually is Fireball Group LLC, the Google Data Center in Papillion. Fireball LLC reports _547.88 megagallons_ for their 2025 Annual Water Consumption." (emphasis mine)

The strongest evidence we have of the reversibility of epigenetic aging, as well as its limitations -- are embryos which undergo an epigenetic reset.

After fertilisation, the embryo strips the father's DNA of its age-linked chemical tags and swaps its packaging, destroys his mitochondria, rebuilds telomeres, and clears damaged proteins, though it can't undo the DNA mutations sperm gather as men age.

(those that result in an non viable embryo result in miscarriage.)

I'm trying to make the case for this model of economy, not claiming it is proven. What in economics is ever truly proven?

This is a similar workflow to speckit, kiro, gsd, etc.

I levelled up my Claude Code workflow by giving it the ability to see its own front-end output — automatic screenshots captured during system/e2e tests, wired into a custom Code command that visually inspects every captured frame.

Two files, a few lines of config, and a meaningfully better feedback loop.

I can't download it, as it appears to be US only. Based on the screenshots, without 'feels like' support throughout the forecast (not just for current conditions) it wouldn't be useful where I live.

Hurrah, its dumb answer to the now classic "the car wash is 100m away, should I drive or walk?" appeared very quickly.

This is not exclusive to the East, but any culture with a high cost of expression. Recent interview with a Russian CEO, talking about how they have "growth across the board, only in the negative direction"

New comment by rotbart in "Transparent leadership beats servant leadership"

rotbart — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 04:58:05 +0000

Nothing wrong with the attributes the author groups under 'transparent leadership', but the article shows a certain misunderstanding of servant leadership.

At the core of servant leadership is the idea that leaders shouldn't hoard power, but instead share it and empower their reports. That they are accountable to their reports, rather than the other way.

Nothing to do with acting like a parents and becoming a single point of failure.

So... clickbait title for an article that could have been called "Delete flakey tests"...but then and most of us would have just gone "yep" and not clicked.

Hyrum's Law especially applies when you have consumers of your APIs that violate Postel's Law. To minimise those in the past, we've introduced intentional jitter in our API responses that while didn't violate the schema prevented unintentional reliance on behaviour that wasn't intentional[1].
