Just found out Spotify is hosting Andrew Tate. Not only that, they appear to be hosting a podcast specifically about how to traffic women into prostitution. I guess the #Spotify LLM didn't like my question.

Enough of the self pity.
I am going to attempt to stitch, could be interesting since the hand isn't always behaving and I am stupidly cold. I need to try though. I might not be able to do the hard physical things at the moment, but stitching should be okay.
First though - more coffee, hot water bottle and cosy socks, then I will embrace a cosy, slow day 😊

I held out for a long time, but I finally started using LLMs in my regular coding work. I couldn't deny the utility of tools like Claude any longer, when it can do in 2 minutes what would take me an hour.
There are problems: hallucinations, verbosity, bad/unperformant/inaccessible code. I have to correct it a lot. That's OK.
The main problem I find is that it's sucked a lot of the fun out of coding for me. It's like I've been pushed into a management role when I just wanted to stay a coder.

the longer Apple vs UK gov't battle regarding iCloud encryption goes, the more it looks like a circus and an absolute mess that was avoidable
and both sides are responsible for it: UK for issuing the request in the first place in the shadiest possible way; Apple for initially bending in (& giving other gov'ts a signal they may do that) and U-turning by going to court which they should've done in the first place

But that kind of legal challenge takes months to come through. The fact that we now see their legal challenge to it means that they did, in fact, start the legal fight months ago - right around when they got the order.
Also, the fact that they were challenging it didn’t exempt them from legally having to follow the order, even the bit that said that couldn’t even mention the order existed. But instead, they unthinkably pulled the plug entirely from E2E encryption in the UK without actually saying why they were doing that.
So where’s this initial “bending in”?
