Incredible anecdote.

I've heard similarly from various insiders after writing this interactive graphic that got a lot of attention last month tk.gg/posts/lime-b...

Step 1: Get hired by Lime.
Step 2: Implement stopped bike and junction detection so you don't get charged money to stop at red lights.
Step 3: Quit Lime.

To be fair to the AP, that story seemed like baloney. The quotes in it were all in reference to Kalshi buying the AP's election feed rather than any money or service going the other way. It was total spin from what I read of it.

Exclusive: It’s bots vs. reporters at the AP The tensions inside the wire service reveal a broader conflict playing out across the media over how AI should be applied within journalism.

AP journalists leaked an internal message from a product manager that annoyed them.

This is quite stunning. Senior PMs typically don't have reports, in news organizations limited power over strategy. Crazy that they'd put her on blast like this.

Also embarrassing to cover because news wires are known to have already experimented in this space because speed is such a critical factor in their product. For the AP newsroom of all people to act like this is new should have been more closely criticised.

This is great. Can you provide an API that lists committee hearings and their livestreams?

A post from X head of Product Nikita Bier, known otherwise for bait apps for tweenagers, stating: "Today we are revising our Creator Revenue Sharing policies to maintain authenticity of content on Timeline and prevent manipulation of the program. During times of war, it is critical that people have access to authentic information on the ground. With today’s AI technologies, it is trivial to create content that can mislead people. Starting now, users who post AI-generated videos of an armed conflict—without adding a disclosure that it was made with AI—will be suspended from Creator Revenue Sharing for 90 days. Subsequent violations will result in a permanent suspension from the program. This will be flagged to us by any post with a Community Note or if the content contains meta data (or other signals) from generative AI tools. We will continue to refine our policies and product to ensure X can be trusted during these critical moments."

Almost unbelievabley, X, the everything app, might have made a decision with positive ramifications for the suppression of misinformation.

Announcing npmx: a fast, modern browser for the npm registry Today we're releasing the alpha of npmx.dev – a fast, modern browser for the npm registry, built in the open by a growing community.

Really excited for @patak.cat, @danielroe.dev and the entire javascript community for what's going on over at @npmx.dev

This area has needed care and attention for a long time and boy do these guys have care for it.

ah how frustrating!

Sorry for jumping in: does this oauth spec not allow you to request fewer scopes for an app than it is authorised to request? 🤨

In fact, Amodei already answered the question: if nuclear weapons were developed by a private company, and that private company sought to dictate terms to the U.S. military, the U.S. would absolutely be incentivized to destroy that company. The reason goes back to the question of international law, North Korea, and the rest: International law is ultimately a function of power; might makes right. There are some categories of capabilities — like nuclear weapons — that are sufficiently powerful to fundamentally affect the U.S.’s freedom of action; we can bomb Iran, but we can’t North Korea. To the extent that AI is on the level of nuclear weapons — or beyond — is the extent that Amodei and Anthropic are building a power base that potentially rivals the U.S. military. Anthropic talks a lot about alignment; this insistence on controlling the U.S. military, however, is fundamentally misaligned with reality. Current AI models are obviously not yet so powerful that they rival the U.S. military; if that is the trajectory, however — and no one has been more vocal in arguing for that trajectory than Amodei — then it seems to me the choice facing the U.S. is actually quite binary: Option 1 is that Anthropic accepts a subservient position relative to the U.S. government, and does not seek to retain ultimate decision-making power about how its models are used, instead leaving that to Congress and the President. Option 2 is that the U.S. government either destroys Anthropic or removes Amodei.

bah! they must have switched it off, I'll hide it. Sometimes these networks will produce a free live stream during a big event but then revert it to something less interesting afterwards. I suspect that's what's happened here.

R2 is going to cost you approximately $3 a month at that capacity

"Get the coordinates we need for the strike. Make no mistakes."

btw @cloudflare.social gives you 10hrs of remote browser time a month with the $5 plan, that's easily 3000 unique urls with unique time-sensitive OG images

wassuppp turns out all I really needed to replace was the puppeteer workers binding (powerful, slow) with the rest api (fast, not a binding, requires an api key, boo).

omg it kinda works (and I've shipped it so whatever)

this is a dynamic opengraph image produced through a remote browser rendering the pasted url on cloudflare's network, taking ~8s to produce.

Really. Freaking. Fun. Internet. Shit.

Right, it's bedtime here in GMT+8.

I have a 3hr flight tomorrow so everyone let me know what your favourite emergency pod was.

think I might need to get rid of nextjs and replace it with a lightweight alternative 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

mate claude did that aeons (months) ago

i'm overengineering an /og endpoint to use browser rendering to produce dynamic OG share cards but currently its a bit slow....

I'm afraid I'm far too busy implementing something infinitely more useless

Ooh, could you have this set of labels etc powered by a GitHub repo and GitHub actions? I'm sure lots of people would be open to helping you out with the orgs, labelling, and descriptions.

In Trump’s Case for War, a Series of False or Unproven Claims

NEW: The Trump administration's 3 key claims about Iran's nuclear & missile programs are false or unproven — including Iran "soon" making a missile that can hit the US. Intel analysts are concerned about aides exaggerating threats and misusing intelligence. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/u...

thanks for sharing @eliothiggins.bsky.social 🥰

Internet connectivity in Iran is now in a near-complete shutdown, down about 98% vs the previous week. The disruption began around 07:00 UTC, following reports of military strikes — and in past incidents the government has responded with nationwide Internet shutdowns.
