Michelle Yeoh plays several characters in this short film set in Penang.

The codeswitching (language and body language) based on status / environment / character is nuanced and reflects a broad range of the Malaysian Chinese city life experience that I have been a part of.

I also love that most of it is filmed in food places, and now I am terribly homesick.

If you are in the UK, I'd like to beg 5-10 minutes of your time to file comment with the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) about the proposed (toothless) "Interoperability Commitments" from Apple and Google.

These are dramatically weaker guidelines than even the EU's DMA, and Apple (particularly) has been utterly contemptuous there, ducking compliance for more than a year. Why is the UK rewarding scofflaw behaviour over these predatory practices?

This month's #BirdWhisperer is a pair of black-cheeked lovebirds, of course! Look at them, whispering and plotting their little crimes.

a digital painting of a pair of lovebirds, sitting on a branch against a purple background. They are facing the viewer, with faces in profile. Their bodies are mostly bright green, with a yellow collar and a reddish-black face, and bright red beak. one is grooming the other, both look very content.

Given how they can only be produced by exploitation of workers from the global majority no system including any of the big LLMs in their production can ever be called "fair".

"Fair LLMs" of the size required to do the tasks people want LLMs to do (badly) do not exist.

Current worry: even if I did believe that coding β€œagents” could be used productively and safely by organisations with robust engineering practices, neither WebKit nor Firefox are that and WebKit specifically has a knack for bad regression bugs in existing features

So, y’know, that they seem to be using these tools is a worry

With all the discussion around detecting when a code repo contains commits authored by an LLM, I think it is important to note commits like the following in Mozilla Firefox from 2 weeks ago:

"Bug 2011195 - When an agent commits, don't add itself as author"

https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/commit/71cc24b6a400dbd434e4df37087960d94b764791

I don't think it's a good thing that Mozilla seem to be explicitly encouraging unattributed LLM code in Firefox.

@Tattie @therivercrow
i'm going to expand on this "greens can't win" thing.

what can one MP do? if you're thinking vote in parliament 1 mp is no worse than 100.

what can one mp do?

stand in front of demonstrations and ensure coverage when everyone is arrested.
give witness to uk human rights abuses in international courts and foreign parliaments.
name fash funding networks in parliament.
visit prisons and illegal detention sites.

one mp can do lots.

be happy when you vote, it might make a huge difference and set the agenda. i can't guarantee we will win if we fight. but we all lose when we don't fight.

groan at the cliche if you like but it's as true as ever: we have nothing to lose but our chains.

speccing out what an oro.kdl aka orogene package.json would look like, when using orogene's workspaces feature I'm poking at now. Is this anything? Credit to pnpm for the dependencies/dependency-groups thing, which it calls "catalogs".

I'm making things work a little different than they work in both NPM and pnpm, but I think doing things this way is WAY more intuitive in the end? Just one hard-working workspace: protocol that can pull in centrally-specified dependency versions, workspace members, or named dependency groups.

// Example for workspaces package { name my-pkg private } workspace { members { // A sub-package at this location will be accessible as // dependencies { my-subpkg workspace: } (or "dependencies": { // "my-subpkg": "workspace:" } if you're using package.json // // You can also specify what version it will bind to by using a // specifier prefix, such at workspace:^ (the default if nothing is // specified), workspace:* (the equivalent of foo *), workspace:~ // (the equivalent of foo ~1.2.3, where 1.2.3 is the current version // in the member's package.json or oro.kdl file. "./packages/my-subpkg" } dependencies { // Each of these dependencies will also be accessible as workspace: // dependencies, as if they were members, but their version only needs // to be specified once. react ^18.2.0 react-dom ^18.2.0 } dependency-groups { // This allows you to specify deps in a named group, allowing you to do // workspace:react17, for example. react17 { react ^17.0.2 react-dom ^17.0.2 } } }

It's incredible that Labor came in 3rd in Gorton & Denton thanks to the peerless electoral magic of the "Labour Together" crew, it's even funnier that Reform's candidate coined a conspiracy theory to mark his own routing:

Mainstream reporters are desperate not to cover what's happening to trans ppl in the US. The narrative was activists got a little too uppity and some mild hand smacking was needed to put them in their place. The reality of a genocidal campaign of terror against a vulnerable 1% makes them look bad.
