Three things I built lately: madcp - MCP harness: invoicing, Basecamp, Toggl, HEY, X, Bluesky (more to come) mcpme - shell access to my device aicli - chat with AI from the shell Try them, tell me what you think. Feels like first touching a computer and seeing the internet.

I may be late to the party, but I installed the Infuse app last night and it’s awesome! Currently using it for streaming from a NAS to the Apple TV and it just works great. Not free, but worth every €c. 🧑‍🍳💋

I'm accidentally finding myself looking at X a lot lately, and it's definitely affecting my mood. I'm sure it's not filled only with deplorable opinions, but those are the only ones I'm running into. Shout out to my ATProto people for making me feel less lonely.

I've just deployed a major refactoring of Lovli's frontend, which is MUCH lighter on static assets. I've dropped Pico CSS (in favor of Tailwind, -65KB) and a whole icon font (-300KB). I've also fixed some UI glitches that have been bothering me since day one. HMU if you see anything weird! lovli.fyi

Everybody’s yapping about AI, but it’s not real progress until the house does all the chores by itself while I’m at the bar having aperitivo, and I’m gonna die on this hill.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Hackers Simply Asked Meta AI to Give Them Access to High-Profile Instagram Accounts. It Worked

The exploit shows the extreme risk of offloading technical support to AI.

Deep in the Peruvian jungle, archaeologists have discovered a 600-year-old pre-Incan citadel containing human remains, tools and ritual offerings

🇬🇧 Beer for baldies: London event celebrates the hairless with free pints A London event dubbed 'Bald Fest' offers free pints to people with smooth scalps and those willing to have a head shave in a bid to celebrate the hairless.

Guido van Rossum, Python’s original author, publicly expressed his disappointment in PyCon US opening keynote yesterday for being “just a product pitch”. I stand with Guido.

When the world accelerates, invest more in understanding the fundamentals. Nobody knows what technological progress will bring tomorrow but we know it will sit on top of the foundation of fundamentals.

A good cautionary tale for when someone claims that trusting data analysis done with an LLM is good because it’s “objective.” In this example, Copilot apparently decided to ignore the data it was given and just run with all the subconscious biases its (human-made) training data inevitably gave it.

"Based on the dataset you shared, US and UK responses differ mainly in tone, intensity, and wording style, even though they express similar emotional states" New post on what happened when I got Copilot to do some data analysis: kucharski.substack.com/p/real-signa...

Outstanding work by @rubyconitaly.bsky.social’s team in organizing one of the most anticipated Ruby events of 2026. My most heartfelt thank you goes to them, to the speakers, as well as to all the old and new friends that made this day so special. Alea iacta fuit!

Happy Liberation Day, Italia! Siamo 👏🏻 tutti 👏🏻 antifascisti! O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao 🇮🇹

I remember playing The Sims, making the characters become scientists, and watching them reading books like “P = NP and other simple demonstrations”. Still makes me laugh these days. So brilliant.
