Insult a local politician, and police show up at your house. This is exactly what happens in... China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Belarus, except this is the UK. Everything dictators have been doing in their countries for decades is coming to the UK, and then Canada. But all of this is for your own good you see. How dare you have an opinion without a license?

I hated every mail + calendar client I've ever used in the last 20+ years. Too slow, too many features I don't use, not enough of things I'd want, legacy layouts from 2003. No way to change it. Annual/monthly subscription. Not anymore. If you know what you want, and can describe it, and then iterate on the idea for a few weeks while you use the thing you built (some people call this QA), you can arrive at exactly what YOU want. Not someone else, not a customer - you. No cloud AI, local only, instant search, one main screen, personalized filtering/categorization and summarization. Reminders you cannot miss. I wouldn't dream of undertaking such a project even 3 months ago (inboxes and calendars are deceptively "simple"). Total engaged time ~40hrs, and at least 5x that of "Astra/Claude time". Very happy with how this turned out. github.com/yegors/fuckMail

Not to rain on Lockheed Martin's parade, but didn't the Wright Brothers do the same thing in 1903?

Did that car just fly? WTF. Incredible.

I asked Claude to make a video about what it's like to be an AI agent, first person view. 40hr later, and ~$800 in Higgsfield credits, this was the result.

As AI keeps advancing, here is what the next 10 years could look like, according to me (and Claude). Slopcore. The middle part will get rough, are you ready?

Ever since I saw @anabology's original last week's banger, I remember how fun it was to produce videos and reminded me of the "Smash My IPod/PS3/Xbox360/Wii" days. Pre-Youtube, freeze your ass off outside while holding the camera, go through hours of footage to make a 5 minute clip, toil away on the graphics/music for that dopamine hit at the end when it comes together. Now the tools are here to get your dopamine hits on a daily (and soon hourly) basis, once you create a workflow. We all have a studio at our fingertips now, just bring your ideas and watch them come to life.

So in Canada, a man can go to a woman's prison, do drugs there, and the government will provide the supplies? Going to jail was supposed to be a deterrent, not a holiday.

Buying a new fully speced out PC to play Battlefield 6 when it came out in Oct of 2025 was the single best decision I've made in a long time. Building the same PC now costs ~$20,000.

Bill C-22 makes Canada an untenable place for most tech companies to operate in, foreign and domestic. With trade uncertainty already hanging over the Canada-U.S. relationship, and a government that says it wants foreign investment, there has never been a better time to fix (delete) this misguided bill. It is in direct conflict with attracting the capital our government claims to want, and literally forces existing Canadian companies to take their taxable revenue elsewhere.

Bought into all the Jev hype last night, to see what the fuss is about. Made a browser that you can talk to. Standalone exe. Local LLM for everything Jev can't do. Here it is booking a hotel and playing Wikirace at super human speed.

Installed @dhh's Omarchy the other day, very interesting operating system and concept. Hooked up Grok, had it make a Windscribe plugin. Kinda of a surreal experience having what looks like the OS, building new parts of itself only hours after trying the OS for the first time. Anyways, if you use Omarchy and Windscribe, try the plugin here: plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.h…

Used Grok Bot as a flight dispatcher for an IFR training flight last night. I am pleasantly surprised with how it did, and the briefing it put together. After checking all the numbers, it was basically 95% right with a few minor incorrect assumptions (wrong SID, idealistic route, wrong fuel burn) which can be easily prompted away. It consulted all then flight planning resources I would use, analyzed the GFAs, cross-referenced with TAFs, NOTAMs along the way, suggested the correct expected approach, picked the right alternate. There was an incoming weather system, GFA looked scary, but the TAFs disagreed with the conditions expected at the time so Grok correctly suggested a "go" as long as we depart by a certain time from the destination. I would make the same conclusion and all of this turned out to be correct. I am impressed.

Fable 5 when you try to do anything even remotely related to security or hardening. This thing is only good for ThreeJS video games it seems.

Urgent: Canadian surveillance bill C-22 has passed the House and is heading to the Senate in September. @jdtabish and Chamber of Progress are leading an open letter campaign to stop it in its current form. If this passes as-is, Canada becomes a much less competitive place for companies like Windscribe and many others, and it will do real damage to the economy. If you’re a founder of a Canadian company or serve Canadian customers, email Josh ([email protected]) and sign the open letter. Deadline is August 28. There’s still time to make a real difference.
