💵🤖🫧🪦 Listening to Better Offline (Monologue: The Pale Horsemen Arrive): https://omny.fm/shows/better-offline/monologue-the-pale-horsemen-arrive In this week's Better Offline monologue, Ed Zitron runs through how 70% of Microsoft, Google and Amazon’s AI revenues are from Anthropic and OpenAI, with 7% of Microsoft’s FY26 revenue coming from OpenAI alone, and how this is cast-iron proof that demand for AI doesn’t exist at a scale that warrants any of the trillion dollars in capex they’ve spent. #AIBubble

I’m going to this cricket at Stormont tomorrow.

It’s made up teams, but it’ll be good to see the Irish international players compete against each other.

I’m going to see if I can replicate the writing setup I have in Scrivener in iA Writer. I only use a tiny subset of Scrivener's features these days. Mainly separate docs for different sections of an article. Then Export as a Word file via Compile in Scrivener to stitch the sections into a finished document.

iA Writer folders in iCloud should be able to replicate that.

And make it simpler to move between Mac, iPad, and iPhone for adding to a writing project.

Bloody god botherer advertising signs inside the 6a metro bus.

If they really followed their New Testament god, they’d spend the money on food banks and other ways to help people in the here and now.

Cunts.

You can spend £349 on an Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 13 to turn an existing iPad Pro into a barely usable mobile writing solution. Or, you can spend £599 on a MacBook Neo and get a very capable mobile writing solution.

Three sacred cows that must die so Europe can live

The decline of Europe is not inevitable, despite how much Americans love to joke/proclaim that the continent is doomed to become an open-air museum. Sure, it's possible that things have to get worse before they get better, but believing that "it's over" is just loser talk. It's never over, but the old world also won't recover by itself...

Getting to Forestside from Dundonald via bus was easy. And free for me. I’m not sure the forthcoming G3 route that will pass Forestside will make it any easier or much faster.

Public transport FTW!

The CSNI overseas professional, Indian Ashwin Hebbar, scored 207 not out today at Stormont. He hit 15 sixes and 12 fours in that total.

CSNI scored 404 for 2. Strabane scored 156 all out.

Yikes!

RE: @ianRobinson@mastodon.social

This song started playing in my head this afternoon when I was listening to the new music I’d captured. A new song started with a few piano notes that sounded very like Without You. Instant ear worm.

The new song didn’t make the cut.
