Kudos to the GitHub Copilot team. If you were interested in the OpenAI codex system it’s worth trying out the Copilot Agent on GitHub.

I wrote a mini spec, assigned the issue to Copilot, and soon got back a valid PR that worked with test cases! The only “bug” I found was from my own requirements.

Thanks, weather app, for the good news and a good laugh today.

New tarrifs just dropped on the EU Punishment for Apple specifically.

It’s getting hard to convince me these announcements are anything more than a massive insider trading grift for Trump, his friends, and republicans.

There won’t be any massive deals and Apple will never make iPhones here.

The speed of Amazons back tracking is amazing.

Amazon has an experimental culture. Someone approved this experiment on a smaller site.

If that experiment had more purchases they would have wanted to roll it out broadly.

But they aren’t even willing to run the experiment and potentially lose sales.

Unpopular opinion.

Not the worst order ever to investigate these people.

I’ve donated to about 5-6 campaigns and I estimate I’ve received 5-6 thousand texts.

Reporting spam doesn’t work. Texting stop doesn’t work.

If progress on AI algorithms stopped today there will still be significant job disruption in the next 5-10 years.There’s still just so much untapped potential to transform how we work with the existing solutions that it’s frightening to consider without also considering how to rewrite the social contract... blog.joshledgard.com

Hard to think of anything companies hate more than unknowns in COGS they can’t control.

It would be better if the policy was just once “here’s the tarrifs for the next year. Deal with it.”

Still terrible, but at least you could plan.

Hey. NYT. How about a pallet cleanser?

Just throw in one or two stories about puppies being rescued or AI curing some diseases.

Anything good.
