Happy iOS 27 release day, supposedly in this version of iOS they have fixed the issue where iPhones will remain on incredibly weak wifi networks which renders the device offline until it eventually realizes the wifi network is the cause!↳

Projects in Github Personal Access Tokens ↳

An unfortunate bug with GitHub is that when creating a personal access token you can specify granular permissions for just about anything except the ability to create and manage GitHub Projects.

The only way to create a Personal Access Token for GitHub projects is to move the repo into its own organisation, and then you have the ability to specify these permissions.

I find this a truly bizarre omission to the point that I assume its a bug: I can create a PAT for issues but not projects?

Hopefully this gets resolved, although I have been asking for this for all of 2026.

How to Spot AI Writing ↳

First, consider words. The vocabulary that bots overuse has changed: they no longer “delve” and there are not as many “tapestries”. Instead they offer a significant number of polysyllables like “significant”, “increasingly” and “consequences”. They use more rare words (“interdependence”, “reindustrialisation”) and scientific lingo (“parameter”, “methodology”) than humans, and are fond of nominalisations (making nouns from verbs, such as “expansion” from “expand”). All the llms in our study use such words, but particularly Gemini and Claude.
