this is clickbait garbage a) it wasn't ~dronez~ stuff, it was the same vanilla GPS jamming that has occurred at WSMR for decades b) a crew should *absolutely* be capable of conducting a nonprecision approach to an ILS, *ESPECIALLY* if there's a NOTAM out for PNT jamming

A routine medical flight, on a clear night, ended with a plane crash that killed all four people onboard. Investigators say it's the first known US civilian plane crash tied to electronic warfare. This won't be the last story of its kind. A must-read from @jeffwise.bsky.social for @wired.com

bit confused about the GPS jammer crash stuff- like aren't pilots trained to fly through instrument loss? Never done lessons but I know people who do fly and I feel like I remember them talking about how there are requirements for this to get licensed

Was too hungry to plate this more attractively, but lamb meatballs, roasted figs, homemade garlic scape pesto with a little Greek yogurt, charred hipsi cabbage with buttermilk harissa dressing + some basmati rice left over from Indian takeout that I crisped up with some sesame oil = very delicious

Plate of lamb meatballs et al

There are no convenience stores near the office, but there is a Target. I was dragging this morning, so I went to get a white monster and lo, all they had cold was the original monster. This is transphobic and anti-Italian discrimination

claude when it realises it's in a polytoken harness: great now I have to spend the rest of my life debugging Nix

aaaand Polytoken latest just received 0.6.0. now supports model request options for things like fast mode on providers. Specifically supported for OpenAI and DeepInfra for now, but you can extend it as necessary yourself. (also some fixes to support deepseek-v4-flash-0731, it's good!)

PSA - Polytoken stable updating to 0.5.10. Whole bunch of fixes and improvements that I think you'll like, you just get to like them later than the people on the latest track docs.polytoken.dev/changelog/

The conversation about AI in health stuff is always about the risks of patients using AI. I'm more worried about possibilities like every appointment gets inspected by an insurance company in detail so that if a patient uses the slightly wrong words about something their care is denied.

the best vibe coders are not "vibe coding" but have basically a 100% designed spec from the start (incl. with some idea of a testing suite) and the ai is basically just doing implementation work. that is to say, they're PMs. the thing is: most PMs are bad at being PMs, and so are most coders.

I suspect that good designers make good vibecoders cuz they can make up for skills that LLMs lack. Such a person can turn a design into a functioning prototype even if the backend isn't great

I'm not going to QT but there's a silicon valley NIMBY complaining about maintaining the historical character of Palo Alto and man that place should look like fucking singapore. Market cap of tech companies based in and around there is like $14 trillion and it's full of fucking bungalows? So broken

Me: The new agent harness is great. You feed your tokens into the machine. Then you run simulations which, if successful, produces tickets. If they fail you have to buy more tokens and keep running the sims. Once you have enough tickets you can redeem them Boss: are you at dave & busters, yes or no
