Here’s an article that discusses llm use on the Linux kernel: https://lwn.net/Articles/1026558/

It’s a little older, but it might help to ground the conversation a bit.

We finally made it through the long winter and NWSL is back this weekend, baby! It kicks off Friday with Portland Thorns vs Washington Spirit and my favorite team, the Seattle Reign have their first game against the Orlando Pride on Sunday afternoon and I could not be more excited to watch some women’s soccer 😊

In the Spring a young goat’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of cats.

During the day the PWHL will be using the hashtag #23HourPlay and are encouraging fans to donate $23 to community partners Grindstone Award Foundation (Canada) and Strong Girls United (US).

It’s been tough, but I’m glad they had kind words for my some of my faves, Bilka, Gosling and Tejralova.

Lots of things would happen, but the specifics wouldn’t much matter because there’d be no-one left to tell the tale afterwards.

Nice to see the NHL do something nice:

The donation comes in recognition of International Women’s Day by the NHL and NHLPA. Keller will work alongside the NHL Foundation U.S. and ambassador Haley Skarupa to identify the organizations, which “will have demonstrated impact, sustainability, and alignment with NHL Foundation U.S.’s commitment to growing the girls’ hockey pipeline.”

It’s kinda weird that we know Seattle will have the attendance record up until 4/4 and no longer, but I bet Madison Square Garden’s gonna be rockin.

There’s a capital strike on, and you can’t simply withhold capital or else it is put to use elsewhere so it has to be employed for enshittification.

If you used Google Translate previously for translations, they’ve switched out the backend for Gemini. Most of the existing translation tools have been destroyed and replaced with LLMs already.

I mean, he definitely did it. We all remember the breathless coverage of his 2am ketamine tweets to manipulate the market:

Musk’s May 13 tweet — “Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users” — was “false because the buyout was not, in fact, ‘temporarily on hold,’” the lawsuit says. That’s because Twitter did not agree to put the deal on hold, and there was nothing in the merger agreement the two parties signed that allowed Musk to put it on hold, according to the lawsuit.

I wonder if he has enough clout left with the Trump admin to weasel out of this one, like he did with the Tesla deal.

I definitely feel this to be true:

Paschakis says there is a growing perception from the public that criticism of these organizations, and of the sport as a whole, is often managed through avoidance rather than being addressed.

“The media and the organizations continue with routine public relations messaging until the audience’s attention shifts,” she said. “Formal apologies or corrective statements seem to only occur when sponsors withdraw support or when revenue is impacted.”

With potentially four expansion clubs joining the league next season, it’s hard to imagine her not being drafted.

Nieminen, playing for Luleå HF, finished her 2025-26 SDHL season with 24 goals and 45 points in only 27 games.

Nieminen is expected to enter the 2026 PWHL Draft where she’s projected to be picked in the top two rounds. David is also likely to rejoin the PWHL as a free agent having spent the first two seasons in the league with the Montreal Victoire.

Legend stuff. Let’s hope she’s back in time for the home stand starting 4/18.

“I’m not walking around the best, and I’m missing a few games for the (PWHL’s) Seattle Torrent,” Knight said on “CBS Mornings.”

“To be able to play through injury was definitely a mental sort of gymnastic challenge for myself and also physical, but we’ve got some amazing support staff that did their best to get me out there and perform at my best — as best as I could.”

I was particularly interested in the discussion of soft-succession by impounding federal taxes, including the two bills currently in committee in the Washington state legislature.

I haven’t been to see the Victoire at home, but the crowd energy at Climate Pledge is a big part of what’s attracted me to the league.

For opponents, the atmosphere at Place Bell has been a point of conversation since the Victoire moved to the venue permanently ahead of the league’s second season. This year, including their most recent win, a 4-0 victory over Minnesota this week in front of a sold out crowd of 10,172 has been no exception.

Big oof:

“None of us want to end up like that liar from Shoreline when Seattleites found out he didn’t actually live in Seattle,” said Councilmember Isabel Mata. “Shutting down the surveillance state and protecting people’s privacy is important whether you were born here or not because no full-grown adult wants to be caught on camera doing bar crawls between Red Robin and Dave & Busters. So embarrassing, but at least not as embarrassing as moving forward with contracts for more surveillance cameras at such a time as this — can you imagine what kind of even more embarrassing city would? It couldn’t be Seattle.”

We continue to see the Olympics bump lead to sell-out crowds:

The Ottawa Charge returned from the Olympic break on Saturday to face the league-leading Boston Fleet in front of 8,572 fans at TD Place, the largest crowd of the season. Unlike their previous two meetings this year, it was Boston who came away with the shootout win, 3-2.

I’m following this one in Infinite, and I’m really enjoying what G Willow Wilson’s doing. I’m excited to see where she takes this storyline.

I’m generally opposed to drafts as a method for entering the league, and instead prefer giving budget and salary cap based on results, and letting the players choose where they want to play, but it seems pretty popular?

Among the best available players from the NCAA heading to the PWHL this season include past and present American national team members Caroline Harvey, Laila Edwards, Tessa Janecke, Abbey Murphy, Kirsten Simms, and Lacey Eden.

Finnish national team members Petra Nieminen, Nelli Laitinen, Viivi Vainikka, and Jennina Nylund are all expected to declare and join the growing group of Europeans in the league, as are Swedish national team members Josefin Bouveng, Thea Johansson, and Sofie Lundin. Swiss national team netminder Andrea Brandli is also expected to make the jump as the top goaltender available in the draft.

After Anna Shokhina and Fanuza Kadirova entered the league from Russia this season, the first Russian defenders from the ZhHL are expected to declare. Russian Olympian and World Championship national team members Anna Shibanova and Maria Batalova are both expected to declare. Batalova is Russia’s reigning Defender of the Year.

Other top NCAA players heading to the 2026 Draft include Issy Wunder, Sydney Morrow, Emma Peschel, Grace Dwyer, Vivian Jungels, and Lily Shannon.

From U Sports, top scorers Grace Elliott, JessyMaude Drapeau, and Annalise Wong are all set to declare as well.
