We're Going to Make Out Like Bandits buff.ly/OtcnROG <- Why AI is _good_ news for skilled programmers. This is hilarious – & probably right.

Google's Open Knowledge Format (bit like llm.txt, i guess...) An open specification that formalizes the LLM-wiki pattern into a portable, interoperable format. cloud.google.com/blog/product...

Omer Bartov reviews Jochen Hellbeck's book on how the Nazis' geopolitical ambitions specifically against "Judeo-Bolshevism" were crucial fabric & "larger setting" of the Holocaust & WWII, ie not the West's strictly racial hatred dominant narrative. Western erasure of USSR vs Soviet erasure of Jews.

I made myself a cool tool to quickly eval quality of an internet link, it's a awk script over ping. Now i'm shocked by @tailscale.com degradation for a direct link on my lan.

Wish McCain was alive to see his least fav gas station shut down

Putin announced Russia temporarily banned gasoline and kerosene exports and is considering a full diesel ban. He also claims Russia has 1.7 million tons of gas reserves, supposedly only 4% down from last year, but admits fuel station queues and unavailable grades persist.

Ukraine's SOF took out a Russian mobile fire group tasked with protecting fuel trucks from drones on the logistics route to occupied Crimea.

Fuel tankers in occupied Crimea are rolling with armed escorts now. Russia is deploying mobile fire groups along logistics routes just to protect their fuel shipments, Exilenova+ reports.

Still dumbfounded when llms put together software that would have taken me weeks. I can now explore every single linux perf optimization my heart desires. Used to be so painful to get into new areas

Tailscale on UEFI ... who needs an OS, really? (using github.com/usbarmory/ta...) And yes, clearly putting a bootloader in here is an obvious next step 😉 This week is Hack Week at Tailscale. This is one of the 4 weird new places I got Tailscale running. #golang #tamago #tailscale #hackweek

The Jetsons lied to us

@ilyasergey.bsky.social: "I formalised and proved the correctness of Move’s new borrow checker in Lean: 39,000 lines of mechanised metatheory, produced in under a month with the help of an AI coding assistant." How it went, and what it augurs for PL research. proofsandintuitions.net/2026/03/18/m...

Pretty staggering that the FT Trump interview opens with ‘if NATO doesn’t help us sort this mess, there’ll be problems’ and ends with ‘Russia might be helping target American soldiers, but really that’s sort of fair enough - we started it’. www.ft.com/content/1ca6...

1) Provide weapons to aggressor country 2) Encourage victim to develop defenses 3) Complain when victim sells defenses making your weapons less effective I dont like regime change wars, but do hope that current regime heads die like Gaddafi. All of them nypost.com/2026/03/14/w...

Iran threatens to strike Ukraine after Zelensky sends drone defense experts to Middle East: ‘legitimate target’

The threat from the Islamic Republic could represent a serious escalation of the war, potentially dragging Europe into the fight.

UPDATE: It's real, per Tencent.

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger. www.paris.fr/pages/la-mei...

LOL. Anthropic bought Bun, last December.

Apparently using AI makes you dumb. I was too dumb to figure out why ubuntu installer was hanging so i asked pi to ssh in and figure it out. Turns out its cos I picked ukraine timezone and ubuntu devs run their timezone installer in interactive mode and it got angry at Kyiv vs Kiev distinction

This is a pretty cool way to structure coding: have the llm pretend to be submitting lkml patch series. This way you can revisit architectural issues, etc github.com/hsaliak/std_...

This is a really nice new Cloudflare feature: on-the-fly markdown conversion. Tools like Claude Code send an "Accept: text/markdown" header when making web requests. If you enable this it, it will send these agents a markdown version of your page instead of the full HTML. Really good for docs.

Introducing Markdown for Agents

Cloudflare's network supports real-time content conversion to markdown at the source.

TypeScript excitement 😉 Congrats to Renegade334 on landing support for @tc39.es "Upsert" in upstream TypeScript. Heading for TS 6.0 Beta next week 🎉 let map = new Map(); map.getOrInsert(key, defaultVal); It sets a default value on a map key with no overwriting. github.com/microsoft/Ty...

lobste.rs/s/hkqnro/git... test suites that start from failed tests would be amazing

this @tracyalloway.bsky.social @weisenthal.bsky.social Odd Lots piece with @heidirediker.bsky.social is fantastic Interesting that Tracy mentioned about their Dan Wang interview, necessity & central planning have some advantages. Biogas is another anecdote podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...
