Shadow AI is already inside your company. Here’s how to get control of it
“A tool that looks like a harmless assistant may have permission to read email, summarize files, access customer records, connect to ticketing systems or interact with source-code repositories,”
Reminds me of how everyone had a dozen of those sketchy spyware browser toolbars like BonziBuddy in the 90s and early 2000s but worse.

The Moustache is a story about a man who shaves his moustache on a whim one morning, only to have his wife, colleagues and friends insist that he’s never had a moustache. What begins as a small joke ends up with the man spiraling out of control. Remembered trips that apparently never happened, friends that apparently never existed, etc.
The book explores how having one’s own memories denied by others may affect a person’s sanity. In itself this is an interesting concept, and in places the story is a real page-turner. But in other places I found the writing boring and repetitive, like the protagonist repeatedly obsessing over how others might be plotting against him. This could still have been a 3-star read for me, except for the last two pages, where the book suddenly takes a turn that left a bad taste in my mouth.
RSS is still my prefered feed format
But what if we didn’t have to build on top of RSS? What if… and hear me out, what if we used atproto for this!
I do like how standard.site is becoming its own RSS-adjacent thing. Standard Reader is really nice. A lot of stuff on ATProto is but I’m always afraid I’m putting all my eggs into one basket with something so new. I’m on Bluesky, and at one point I was using Leaflet for my blog, Standard Reader, and Skyfeed for RSS. The fact that RSS has been around nearly 30 years is a selling point for me even if it isn’t as feature-rich as what’s on ATProto.
Nvidia’s Huang promotes SamA’s AGI claim for Astra so it can get Amazon and MSFT to unlock funding that is contingent to OpenAI achieving AGI. Clearly, Huang does not want to invest more on OpenAI hahahaha

Reducing cloud cost is great, but do the same with carbon cost to preserve the balance is more awesome 😎

ลดเงินค่า cloud ได้ก็ถือว่าดีแล้ว แต่ถ้าลด carbon cost ได้จะเท่กว่า 😎

As a specialty coffee enthusiast, I’m always visiting different local roasteries. There’s something special about this ritual: independent roasters offer amazing coffee experiences and an incredible variety of beans you symple won’t find elsewhere.
Last week, I experienced one of those great moments, and bought these great beans from Garza Coffee: Pink Bourbon IPA.
This coffee is co-fermented with IPA hops and IPA yeast, in a very special method: the hops and yeast are added to the beans in a closed tank under CO₂. This allows the coffee cherry to absorb the aromas of the IPA, and taste like a mix between good coffee and good IPA beer, it’s really amazing! You can note the aromatic acidity, smell and clear hop flavour in each sip of coffee.

Liam's dad is stupider than my dad, just like Liam is stupider than me. He never gets my riddles. You have to tell him everything twice, and then he just pretends to understand to shut you up. So how is it that he can tell you any kind
My weekly blog post. Links this week include an elemental chart showing which ones are safe to lick, the Usenet Archives and a repository of 3D scanned images of publicly accessible restrooms. You can meet Emerald, the mosaic kitty and I talk about my recent hip surgery. Plus, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.
UK labs waste thousands because they ignore one microscope feature before buying. Here
