Despite a direction from me when Defence Secretary that the Skynet 6A , £2bn contract was too important to the UK space industry to offshore to Lockheed Martin it looks as if Wes is preparing to place the contract overseas. The damage it would do to Stevenage and the UK satellite industry would be irreversible and it was always assessed it could mean the end of the sector. Lockheed’s promises of factories in Newcastle were skin deep. The differences between types on offer were marginal. No.10 could, and should stop this. @AirbusDefence @wesstreeting @larisamlbrown @kevinbonavia @haynesdeborah

All models, no matter how smart, will eventually build systems that they can no longer understand or maintain, if you let them. Fable 5 finally outbuilt itself, and flailed on me for a week. Fable 5.1 looks like it will fix it. For now. But you have to keep an iron grip on system size, or it'll run away from you.

Coding is just one part of engineering. There’s also debugging, operating services, scaling up infrastructure, deciding what to optimize, setting up hardware and capacity, talking to users, product planning, etc. Coding is the easy part, everything else is not yet solved (but is also becoming increasingly automated).

famed anecdote from val kilmer's memoir about tony scott crying about getting the sunset on film
ALT "The only person who honored the process more than me, I think, was our brilliant Tony. One day at dusk, we were up in a helicopter. He was trying to get a perfect angle on the aircraft carrier where most of the film takes place, and I was along for the ride. I couldn’t understand what he was trying to capture. There were so many fumes and we were losing the light, and I thought he might be going mad. And then, suddenly, the clouds were rainbow sherbet, and you could see circles of rainbow smoke curling, falling on the water as the aircraft carrier danced its dance. Just like Tony had dreamed. It was incredible. I glanced over to smile at him or give him a little nod, and as I turned toward him, tears were rolling down his cheeks."

The amount of tech debt that's going to have to be paid by pushing slop code to production is going to be a boon for senior devs.

You may have heard from @Steve_Yegge that we've released Gas City 1.0! I thought I'd provide some additional details on Steve's excellent blog post.

Would love to know quite what attending a hateful rally like this has got to do with biodiversity, pollution, climate change, renewables and rewilding?! Makes a mockery of what we desperately need from a campaigning Green Party, ie to nudge us all to do better for the planet...

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.
My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.
So, here goes.

Labour want to TAX you every single year just for owning your home
If your home is worth more than £500,000, Labour want you to pay 0.54% EVERY year.
Here’s what that looks like:
↳ £550,000 = £2,970 a year
↳ £600,000 = £3,240 a year
↳ £700,000 = £3,780 a year
↳ £800,000 = £4,320 a year
↳ £1,000,000 = £5,400 a year
Just for OWNING your home
You’ve already paid stamp duty, income tax, council tax… now forced to pay this new property tax
This is a SCAM by the government

Grieving the loss of one of my best friends, Jim Lovell. His extraordinary legacy is cemented by many space missions: Gemini VII, Gemini XII, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13.
Our mutual respect had no limits. The Gemini XII mission we flew together paved the way for the Apollo missions.
Heartfelt condolences to Jim’s family.
Farewell Jim. You will be missed, my friend. Godspeed!
