The meeting starts at 7pm, come and listen to talks (or give one yourself) about #networking subjects, and mingle with other networky-types 💻 ⚡ 🍹
Tonights talk is by Marek Isalski - 'What happens when an altnet goes bust?' An interactive discussion session about the possible "unhappy paths" of altnet business models, when both scaling-up and selling-out fail.
Sadly I'm not going this month as I'm WFH, but I enjoyed myself last time. The talk was really interesting and the food was nice.
Northern Monk is an independent brewery focused on creating the best beer experiences in the world, with creativity, community and collaboration at our core.
You and me both. I think there are several different reasons, and a different mix of reasons for different people. But it must all boil down to some form of lunacy. Even for the people who follow him, because following a fickle liar is an obvious disastrous idea even if you think he's on your side.
Yeah something like that. And to some degree I think people on the right are just weak and need someone to tell them what to think, and it doesn't matter if that someone changes his mind constantly, as long as he's a strong father figure of authority they can blow down to and change their opinion as he changes his. The right wing is all about bowing down to (their) authority.
The four coalition parties are holding an emergency meeting on Thursday morning to discuss this week’s vote not to back the EU’s ReArm Europe defense expenditure plans.
A German customs officer caught a 29-year-old man trying to smuggle crystal meth hidden in tortilla wraps to Hungary on a long distance bus. The man was traveling from the Netherlands to Budapest, the German authorities said.

[09:02] Vallen alle puzzelstukjes voor Tim Prins bij WK in Hamar op hun plek? ‘Ik ha it nivo om it poadium te heljen’
Vorig jaar was alles als debutant bij het WK afstanden nieuw voor Tim Prins. Nu wil de Jouster in Hamar niet alleen scoren op de 1500 meter, maar ook de teamsprint winnen.

I particularly love the international underground postal system they developed to circumvent existing only at the mercy of the music industry bigwigs.

Please test the release candidate of Blender 4.4! Especially with the transition to Slotted Actions, see if your old animations are still good when you load them. Give it a good shake, do weird stuff.
When you test, make sure you download the latest build! Fixes are coming in fast, and of course any change in the code has the risk of introducing another bug. I fixed a few, and hope I didn't introduce new ones. Let me know 💙🧡
[09:16] LIVE | Drie gewonden na Russische aanval op Oekraïense regio Dnipropetrovsk
De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump hield woensdagnacht een speech in het Congres en zei daarin dat Washington zowel met Kiev als Moskou in contact is over het beëindigen van de oorlog.
[09:15] Veerkracht in tijden van dictatuur: I'm Still Here is een bijzonder rake film
De winnaar van de Oscar voor beste internationale film bij de recente uitreikingen, I'm Still Here (Ik ben er nog), is een spannend familiedrama dat zich afspeelt tijdens de militaire dictatuur van Brazilië. De film is gebaseerd op het waargebeurde verhaal van een vrouw die haar gezin een veilig thuis biedt onder een tirannieke overheid.

Online discussions about using Large Language Models to help write code inevitably produce comments from developers who’s experiences have been disappointing. They often ask what they’re doing wrong—how come some …
could you possibly also mention areas where it slowed you down? One thing I've noticed is that it encourages you to go down rabbit holes. It is happy to produce complex answers to whatever your problem is, it doesn't try to question if there's a simpler answer to your question. So I've ended up spending time trying to solve a more complex problem because the LLM is "nearly there", but then you're in an unfamiliar world and it's hard to gauge when it's no longer productive.
It includes detailed examples, including the full Claude Code process I used to build this new Colophon page, which presents the Git commit histories for each of my collection of LLM-assisted web tools in one place tools.simonwillison.net/coloph…
The [/colophon](https://tools.simonwillison.net/colophon) page on my tools site lists all 78 of my tools along with their commit histories, including links to prompting transcripts. I wrote about [how I built that](https://simonwillison.
I decided the descriptions it wrote were too long, so I added "Keep it to 2-3 sentences" to the prompt and rebuilt them all to be more concise: github.com/simonw/tools/commit…
This doubles to help Claude Code too know which just recipes it can run as well. So it's become a bit of a nice tip for helping LLMs write and test code more efficiently.
I just transitioned to Cursor/claude by generating summaries of my old ChatGPT development chats and adding it into each file as a comment for Claude to read. Seems to have worked well. I’m getting good results for the new code I’m generating in GitHub.com/adrianco/megpt - I’m trying to get this all working before I go to GTC 😀
Have you experimented with getting LLMs to work with your own libraries that may change regularly (and that the model probably won't have been trained on anyway). Is the best approach to just load these libraries' codebases into the context window alongside your code? Better to load the documentation?
@futuraprime I've been trying Claude Projects for that recently - their new GitHub integration means you can configure Claude to read all (or some) of your GitHub repository as part of every prompt, it works really well: support.anthropic.com/en/artic…

“‘I will do anything possible to make sure that we win in ‘28. I do not need to be on that ticket,’ Walz told CNN. ‘That’s not my pursuit here. My pursuit is that I am still in a position where I have a platform and I have some power to make a difference, and if 20 people show up that’s good by me because those 20 people are making a difference.’”
Kambodscha: Archäologen finden uralten Buddha-Torso
Der Kopf der Statue wurde schon vor 100 Jahren entdeckt. Nun können Experten die Skulptur ergänzen: Die fehlenden Teile wurden in der Angkor-Tempelanlage in Kambodscha ausgegraben.
The bad: * I'm running on 3 hours sleep because a brutal sore throat and a cough kept me up * The virus (suspecting it may be flu) has caused multiple eczema flareups in unusual locations, including one very sensitive area, and both shins 🙁
Feel like I'm going mad, have just been lurching from one illness to the next recently with no real time to recover 😭
Liveblog zur Regierungsbildung: ++ Grüne bekräftigen Ablehnung von Finanzpaket ++
Die Grünen lehnen das von Union und SPD geplante Milliardenpaket für Infrastruktur und Verteidigung weiter ab. Namhafte Politologinnen und Politologen rufen Union, SPD, Grüne und FDP dazu auf, sich auf höhere Verteidigungsausgaben zu verständigen.
Kurz vor der Sondersitzung des Bundestags kommen Forderungen und Appelle aus verschiedenen Richtungen. Bürgermeister fordern mehr Klimaschutz, ein CDU-Ministerpräsident kritisiert die CSU. Die Entwicklungen im Liveblog.
@juergen_hubert ja aber es sieht bislang ja auch nicht danach aus, daß dann was besseres kommt. Und mir geht es vor allem darum auszudrücken, daß ich nicht dafür zu haben bin, sich einfach nur bis an die Zähne zu bewaffnen, aber alles, das man mit diesen Waffen sinnvoll verteidigen könnte, dafür über Bord zu werfen.

It's not exaggeration to call him a liar, criminal, felon.. and yet..
I just don't get it.

in reply to Mac Berg • • •@macberg Denial?
The desperate attachment to whatever belief he said at some point that they hold on to, despite evidence to the contrary?
Delusion.. perhaps.. or both..
