Walking around the vendor area at an event today and all i could think is how the vowel shortage continues to affect tech startups. Maybe it saves tokens.

Mythos system card is 250 pages. Well worth reading if you have read all the other frontier system cards so have a good baseline. Things are going to get even spicier in coming months I suspect. Those with Opus and the right skills could massively magnify their impact already.

My friends and I are still covering sign ups for people who can't afford it! DM me if that's you ^_^

Sounds like there’s ANOTHER coordinated membership campaign by the same folks as last time. Throwing inaccurate shade with vague fears about internet “censorship”. Every vote matters, don’t let the loud voices dominate. Bring your voice & values: Join/rejoin InternetNZ today: members.internetnz.nz

My term on InternetNZ board is ending soon after nine long years. In my seat please prioritise those with a broad lived experience & real technical knowledge. We have values driven people, we need DNS/Domain name knowledge. I had real-world expertise with internet scams, phishing, abuse etc.

Ive seen some incorrect dates floating around. So just an FYI, members due to renew have till the 30 June and should now have an email with instructions. New members need to sign up by 24 April to vote at the AGM. #InternetNZ

📢 Our Membership renewal period has begun! If you are an InternetNZ member due to renew, you should now have an email with instructions on how to do so.

Everyone will make their own tradeoffs but when I depart I fear it will go down in technical expertise, rainbow rep, and number of women, — and go up in age, outside agenda, and unwillingness to compromise. If you bring what’s needed but aren’t sure if you’ll stand at least make sure to join now!

I’ve worked out how I conceptualise LLM/agentic programming: a printing press moment. It’s taken something that was previously very specialist and expensive and made it cheap.

I know I regularly joke about it being DNS. But it sure wasn’t DMARC.

I just spent the last two hours debugging the Bluetooth stack *in anger* because for the last few weeks I've had to re-pair my mouse with my laptop. Every time. Remove mouse, re-pair. Turns out I had two identical mice in my backpack and I've been switching between them. It was me.

Science and tech/AI aren’t magic. You cant go making unsubstantiated claims and expect them to be accepted because “Advances in [science/tech/AI] will save us”. They might, they might not - but just blindly trusting or giving assurances is called something else entirely.
