You know what’s software engineering? Regaining control over a computer 20 billion kilometers away thanks to the design decisions made 50 years prior. #voyager2

Some parts of the BBC have decided to join the Fediverse on their own instance https://social.bbc/about

"This is an experiment - we will run it for 6 months, and then look at how much value it has provided, how much work it requires to maintain and then decide whether and how to continue."

Accounts being created include:

@BBCRadio4
@BBC5Live

And a few others.

Incidentally, the most remarkable thing Apple showed today was being able to have a 2 hour keynote without mentioning the words “artificial intelligence”. It’s not AI, it’s just better autocomplete, or better image segmentation, or better content-aware fill, or better speech recognition.

@ianbetteridge @daycoder Code, too. It’s almost like we need a common standard language that tells a computer exactly what to do…if only we had something we could use 🤔😉

This is so damn good.

"But Jason, we can get ChatGPT to explain the code to us". Oh really?
