This isn't even a value judgement. I just need that particular glyph highlighted that's all

Anyone know of a fixed-width font that has the em-dash glyph replaced with a turd emoji?

Asking for some CLI tools I have to use at work...

Obviously Tr*mp doesn't give a shit about democracy. So what is he doing?

Theory: he's trying to corner the oil market before embargoing china

We'll see if he cuts a deal in the next few days with whatever remains of the IRGC that gives US companies rights to Iranian oil

they said that we have to use AI at work. so I apparently automated some senior engineering and PM leadership. I can have all the fun conflict of "we don't have the resources to do this" vs "but the customers really need it!" without ever having to go to a real meeting

adding agents to an AI coding loop is like the Sims, except it's all office politics with your worst coworkers.

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online

I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players

ssh snakes.run to join!

#Boston #cycling and #mobility folks, this coming Tuesday (3 March) there is a public hearing at 2 PM to discuss "snow removal relief, the creation of a snow corps, and the purchasing of snow melters."

Virtual attendance is available as an option

https://www.boston.gov/public-notices/16564666

The City failed to respond appropriately to the previous storm and it is unclear if they were adequately prepared to respond to this one. If you have any feelings about that, it'd mean a lot for your community if you showed up to that hearing.

Some new and disturbing details from the blog of Erika Uyterhoeven (my local state rep, but this article is much broader than just MA): https://electerika.substack.com/p/the-maga-winner-take-all-strategy

tl;dr: there is some truly nasty legal bullshit going on, to make it hard to get under the covers of what's happening with the #AI companies and how their LLMs work.

Watch for it locally, and be noisy if it crops up...

The MAGA winner take all strategy for AI

Last week, I published a newsletter (also available on substack) about Governor Healey’s decision to give OpenAI a multimillion-dollar contract to deploy its AI tool across the entire executive branch with unclear protections over our private data including health records, unemployment, and vital records.
