Do you build Cloudflare Workers with Vite? Do you use Auxiliary Workers? This is a part of the config we are considering changing and we would like to hear from any users of it. Discussion here: github.com/cloudflare/w...

If there was a nuclear war do you think we'd make it to the alert about the alert

Matt TK Taylor@tk· 7d

Well that was the dumbest preemptive alert ever. Remember all that messaging about the test because of the fear of hidden phones being discovered. Did "the possibility of wildfires" meet that bar?

Matt TK Taylor@tk· 23d

Integration testing on Cloudflare Workers? We've just made it a lot easier for you. 🗑️ bin unstable_startWorker() 🎁 unwrap createTestHarness() See how much cleaner a simple test setup looks like. Read more: developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/po...

Up and to the right in the middle of the day in almost a month is the best we can do folks.

Vargentina have such plot armour I'm sure nothing will come of this blatant rule violation of political messaging on the pitch either 🫠

I had Fable download the 50Hz data from the 3D BBC player of the Croatia Portugal controversy, and explain it step by step.

The cross, the invisible touch, and the finish (t−3.4 s → goal)

t−3.38 s – Perišić's delivery. From (26.7, 26.3) he strikes the cross at 26.2 m/s (94 km/h). It climbs to a 3.60 m apex over the penalty-spot line and comes down through a corridor of bodies – it clears Portugal's #15 (0.19 m horizontal, ball 3.35 m up, unreachable) and Croatia's #3 with no speed change.

t−1.90 s – the Matanović touch. Ball at (40.09, 0.09), height 2.12 m, passing 0.01 m horizontally from Croatia's #20 Matanović – dead-centre over his head, in an aerial duel with Portugal's #3. Speed dips 16.9 → 16.4 m/s. That ~0.5 m/s change is within optical-tracking noise, which is precisely why nothing was visible on TV – it took the Connected Ball Technology IMU inside the ball to prove the contact (Matanović himself: "I felt slight contact with my hair"). But positionally, our data corroborates it exactly: ball directly over his head at head height. At this instant Pašalić is at (46.5, −4.9) – beyond the defensive

Hands up if a vulnerability described like this has landed in your GitHub repo recently with an attached 1200 word explanation... @penalosa.dev

Cory Doctorow on Radio 4 explaining to the UK government an AI growth strategy was peak. It wouldn't work, of course, but it's a good speech. "instead of consuming the last drops of water in the United Kingdom that are not polluted by human faeces to cool a data centre to make child pornography".

Before, setting up tunnels for local dev with @cloudflare.social meant running cloudflared and jumping through hoops. Today: no more hoops! Tunnels are built into your local dev server, and you can configure your own static addresses in one line of configuration. 🥳 2 demos in 2 mins

The apology.

Matt TK Taylor@tk· May 12

Here are the clips. It's so embarrassing, especially the part where he mealy mouths a half-apology in the next post. More journalists should be calling this kind of behaviour out. I don't care if you're friendly, it's unacceptable.

I really like the BBC waiting here for a notification that actually has some context on what the UAE exiting Opec means but I think the text could assume less that the reader knows already. This could be the first they hear of it. Sell that you have analysis that quickly.

A list view of news headlines from many publishers. Each row shows the publisher, title, a short text snippet, and a time stamp (1m–4h). They are all covering Opec as breaking news except the BBC which covers it as an analysis piece 4 hours later.

We're launching Cloudflare Local Explorer, and a new initiative to build a comprehensive `cf` CLI for the whole of @cloudflare.social. Local explorer gives you the ability to inspect and edit your local resources when building apps on Cloudflare...

In this case the model choice matters a lot. I'm not sure how you got to your variant, but even Gemini 3.1 Flash produces something much closer to your take. Sonnet 4.6 also. It of course depends on how much of what you are making a point on is evident in the accompanying text content also.

A screenshot shows an AI interface titled "AI Generates Alt Text for Train Derailment" displaying a previous request for alt text. Below the image of the derailed ScotRail train, a text box contains the detailed instructions for the AI, followed by its generated descriptive response.

Screenshot of a Claude conversation where an AI alt text generator has described a train derailment image. The response reads: "Aerial view of a ScotRail InterCity train derailment, with carriages overturned and scattered across an embankment. Emergency responders in high-visibility jackets work around the wreckage."

Not the head of product at the bad site complaining that a feature that he uses all the time is being used against him in a dishonest way. Gee, I wonder who has the data and capability to improve such a feature. 🤔

Almost unbelievabley, X, the everything app, might have made a decision with positive ramifications for the suppression of misinformation.

A post from X head of Product Nikita Bier, known otherwise for bait apps for tweenagers, stating: "Today we are revising our Creator Revenue Sharing policies to maintain authenticity of content on Timeline and prevent manipulation of the program.

During times of war, it is critical that people have access to authentic information on the ground. With today’s AI technologies, it is trivial to create content that can mislead people.

Starting now, users who post AI-generated videos of an armed conflict—without adding a disclosure that it was made with AI—will be suspended from Creator Revenue Sharing for 90 days. Subsequent violations will result in a permanent suspension from the program.

This will be flagged to us by any post with a Community Note or if the content contains meta data (or other signals) from generative AI tools.

We will continue to refine our policies and product to ensure X can be trusted during these critical moments."

Trying to find a cafe to work out of... do I risk it?

A Google Maps review screenshot by Ernez James, a Local Guide, with a 5-star rating, edited 6 months ago. The review text states, "this place is not cafe, it is for custom bed frame.. anyone need buy or custom bed frame can come to this shop." Below the text are four photos showing various bed frames: a black tufted one, a grey upholstered one wrapped in plastic, and two images of multiple wrapped bed frames in a workshop or storage setting.

Does anyone happen to know the rules of Malaysian 3-person mahjong better than my mother-in-law such that they can playtest this tool I built for myself so I can eventually beat her? 😄 what-fan.tk.gg

I think @project-push.tk.gg might be on fire. This story is already halfway in notification volume to Trump's Greenland 'deal' and it's only been 30 minutes. We're at 59 notifications from 44 independent publishers since then. project-push.tk.gg/day-in-news?...
