A thing being repeated across businesses worldwide, including at Microsoft, is C level execs struggling to know why most staff aren’t using Copilot for M365, despite how much it costs.

Because most staff don’t spend all day in Teams meetings reading out PowerPoint slides to people who pretend to care. They have actual jobs. Doing work. Which they know how to do. Because it is their job.

I really appreciate the vulnerability that comes with writing something like this and releasing it to the public. We need to do a better job of recognizing these traits and supporting one another. 💕

Man, LLMs really drive home the lesson that people differ *greatly* in how much they care whether the statements they make are accurate.

I got a cold recruiting email from someone’s OpenClaw “agent”, and I don’t know if I’m supposed to appreciate that it clearly identified itself as such, but I’m definitely extra annoyed.

This next level “Dear {first_name}” waste of time can fuck right off.

My 12 year old son was at the mathematics museum in Kyiv today. Inspired by this, he made a maze in Python. Command line, WASD and Enter and you take a step. As an old Doom fan, I really like this. He is learning #python himself. Also not so long ago he took second place in the city's math Olympiad

@glyph@mastodon.social yeah, starting to talk openly about my #adhd at conferences suddenly meant I got asked a bunch of questions where it was obvious people needed to hear about and be validated in the 'average' or 'somewhat hard' days, not just the 'this worked great this one time' and 'pit of despair' days. Which also led to writing things like blog.mavnn.eu/2025/09/16/stu...

first impressions are... not great. here is the homepage viewed in firefox ESR.

wouldn't recommend this site.

The deal in the Senate this morning to fund DHS except ICE and CBP is being hailed as a win for the Democrats. In fact, it is complete capitulation.

The promise they made when they separated out DHS funding and reopened the gov, was no funding for all of DHS until three specific reforms were made to ICE, including requiring warrants and no masks. ICE actually has plenty of funding for years from the $80B BBB. So basically Dems got nothing.

If ever there was proof of the damage done by neoliberalism, this is it! The second wave (which killed 87,000 people in UK) was driven almost entirely by Sunak’s “eat out to help out”, and Johnson’s defying the experts to ‘save Christmas’.
It is extraordinary that you can kill tens of thousands of people with your obsession with the economy, and yet face absolutely no consequences.
Mind you, that’s nothing compared to the death toll that climate inaction will produce.

with everything i said about c macros earlier absolutely still applying, macros are far better than error prone doing things manually.

you just sort of have to suck up that the tools are shit and use them to try and minimise errors.

Software research is full of jingle and jangle fallacies. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this. You will understand my frustration with endless new papers blithely making up new words for things and acting like they're psychometrically coherent constructs if you do look it up though.
