Claude Code'a çok basit bir iş veriyorum, arkadaş yarım saat uğraştıktan sonra "lastiği değiştirdim, ampüllerin tamamını led'e çevirdim, bahçedeki otları da temizledim" diye geliyor. Sırf kendisinden istenmediği halde ekstra yaptığı işlerden ne kadar para kazanıyorlar acaba.

Batıda bir çok ülkede iltica talepleri aynen bu şekilde işleniyor. Arada istisnai şekilde itiraz eden olursa neler olmuş diye şaşırıyoruz. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Tell me you want me to be a regular without telling me you want me to be a regular. (Spotted at the emergency vet clinic.)
It is always a great pleasure to have Joe Uscinski join us!
Looking forward to this talk tonight. Joe is a leading researcher on conspiracy theories in US politics. If you are curious about how common conspiracist beliefs are, and the history of popular conspiracy theories, this is the talk.

Experts no longer believe in photographic memory. Here’s what convinced them www.sciencefocus.com... A Science Focus longread article by me on the science of eidetic (photographic) memory, and how the brain deals with memory in general. #Brains #Memory #Neuroscience

Though there are people capable of incredible feats of memory, true photographic memory has never been proven to exist

We just started July, and the third heatwave of the year is already here. We definitely deserved this hell. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...
On our way back from Durham today, we didn't fancy stopping at a service station just for coffee. So we came off the road and ended up in a little Yorkshire town instead. Or the TARDIS pulled us through...
Cep telefonuma uyarı geldi, Met Office uyarı seviyesini kırmızıya çekti diye (Londra için nadir bir uyarı seviyesi). Hakkaten çok sıcak diyordum içimden ki uyarı yarın içinmiş. Bugünü mumla ararsınız uyarısıymış.
Say what you will about Kier Starmer No, seriously, go ahead. I couldn't stop you even if I wanted to, which I've no interest in doing.
Opened @intellij.bsky.social to write a few lines of code. Restarting 5th time now. Upgrade - restart - plugin update - restart - another upgrade - restart - plugin update again - restart... Can I work now?
This resignation made today’s heatwave a bit more bearable. Hope to see better leadership, staying at least somewhere on the centre-left. It has been awful to watch Starmer legitimising Reform’s talking points, including on immigration, and let them drag the discourse onto non-issues.
Funny how LLMs seem obsessed with em dashes, as you’ve probably noticed. Today I was writing a few PowerShell scripts with GitHub Copilot. Apparently it slipped em dashes into the code, and it took me half an hour to figure out why the script kept breaking.

Always funny to hear the "Big Pharma" accusation but never the "Big Supplement" accusation.
Mallory@this-is-mallory.bsky.social · 3mo agoFinally addressing all the accusations…
Bunu bir sürü gazete basmış. Haber diye verdilerse haber değil, makale 2017 tarihli ve bunun üzerine 50 bin tane daha yazıldı). Bilgilendirme için yapıyorlarsa makalenin abstract'ı daha detaylı bilgi veriyor. Birisi detaylı bir yazı yazmak için oturmuş, sıkılıp bu kadar yeter demiş sanki :)

Top Comment podcast is a treasure for anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes dynamics of how weird trends and misinformation campaigns take over social media feeds. Really enjoying listening to @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social and @mattashea.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Today we spoke to the booking system of a restaurant chain. They gave the bot a human name, added fake restaurant background noise, and even tried to talk us out of speaking to a real person. Why does this stuff always end up feeling so awkward?
