I wish everyone would focus on making out-there, interesting content that an AI could never have written. If your marketing or your articles can be synthesized by a computer, perhaps that's a sign it's not very good?
A reminder that if you're building an interface, it's probably best to use the same size of screen as your users. Don't build on a giant monitor and make downsizing an afterthought.
I have very little problem with fringe right-wing voices decamping to fringe right-wing networks. In fact, I’d argue it’s a near-perfect situation.
The bare minimum I hope for in the wake of Truss’s spectacular failure is that future governments everywhere are warned off trying similar policies based on the same malformed ideology.
Seems obvious that freeways will be self-drivable potentially decades before other roads. Self-driving is an upgrade to cruise control, not an upgrade to driving.
The last six weeks have changed everything. My life has been redefined; I am animated by a new purpose.
I refer, of course, to somehow getting enough sleep, by any means necessary, and at all costs.
Because I’m getting some reachout from here: I’m blissfully happy in my current position, I’m not investing, and my baby means I don’t have time for any side work. But please let me know if there’s any other way I can help you.
Grateful to not have had any side effects from my covid booster or flu shot this week, and for the miraculous fact that these protections exist at all. Thank you, science; thank you, scientists.
My baby smiling in recognition when I go to say hello is the best part of each and every day.
This is a great time to build something from scratch. But if you're building, do it right: by distributing equity to your community, building with ethics and empathy, and doing it to build value for everyone for a long time.
It shouldn't be considered a partisan statement to say that we need to keep anyone who espouses white supremacist replacement theory rhetoric should be kept far, far away from power.
Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day to everyone in the US. Hooray for celebrating the people who really discovered and settled this continent.
You should blog. Yes, you. It's really easy to get started. Use whatever platform you want. And you can subscribe to all your friends' updates too.
Tired: sleep when the baby sleeps
Wired: bingewatch all of Abbott Elementary and eat ice cream like a boss
Elon's texts are interesting, but I have to assume the real cliques in tech aren't conducting conversations over text messages. I'm far, far away from being in the cool crowd so I have no idea, but I'd imagine there are private Slack groups or similar?
Did Bruce Willis give his informed consent to be deepfaked or is someone taking advantage of his aphasia?
You can take the boy out of Oxford, but you can’t take the commas out of the boy.
New thing: peoples' personal assistants wanting to connect on their behalf on LinkedIn. It's obviously some kind of networking or sales service, but what? And how can I block it?
Fun to see how quickly new AI demos are springing up. As new ways to input prompts and datasets make their way onto the market they'll get more interesting. But I really like watching hackers have fun building simple stuff that breaks new ground.
Got the new iPhone. 25% more purple. 50% more blobby upstairsy. 33% more “actually I don’t want to see my tasks all the time, please turn off your screen”. Otherwise practically identical as far as I can see.
A reminder that "woke" just means "awake to and aware of oppression and injustice". It's not something that makes anyone weaker. It's how we all get stronger.
What’s the best wryly realistic writing about parenting a baby? I’ve got all the perfect advice and the influencer accounts, but who’s making jokes about projectile poo and embracing their imperfection?
Really bad night. I feel like I’m failing him with every cry. I’m so sorry, little one.
