“REFLECTIVE URBANISMS: Mapping New York Chinatown is an interactive web project that maps Manhattan Chinatown through its architectural changes.” The project combines 3D maps, photos from the 1940s, and community stories.
Baggage is a short, stop-animation film by Lucy Davidson about the sometimes unpleasant experience of being seen — when going through airport security and also just generally.
Three girlfriends check in their baggage at the airport, but one is carrying a little more than the others. As they travel along the conveyor belt to security, can she hide what’s inside?

OpenAI’s page for io, minus the “Sam and Jony” short film that introduced the partnership, is back up, with a brief announcement that the deal has officially closed:
We’re thrilled to share that the io Products, Inc. team has officially merged with OpenAI. Jony Ive and LoveFrom remain independent and have assumed deep design and creative responsibilities across OpenAI.
Referring to the company as “io Products Inc.” rather than just “io” is seemingly their stopgap workaround for the trademark injunction they faced from rival startup iyO two weeks ago, which led them to temporarily take down this web page and the video. The video remains unavailable, presumably because of the ongoing trademark dispute.

If you're running low on disk space and are a uv user, don't forget about uv cache prune:
uv cache pruneremoves all unused cache entries. For example, the cache directory may contain entries created in previous uv versions that are no longer necessary and can be safely removed.uv cache pruneis safe to run periodically, to keep the cache directory clean.
My Mac just ran out of space. I ran OmniDiskSweeper and noticed that the ~/.cache/uv directory was 63.4GB - so I ran this:
uv cache prune
Pruning cache at: /Users/simon/.cache/uv
Removed 1156394 files (37.3GiB)
And now my computer can breathe again!
From Marcin Wichary, a history of Mac settings (1984-2004). The article includes several embedded emulators, so you can actually use the setting panels under discussion. Amazing.
ChatGPT kept directing people to use a non-existent feature on Soundslice…so the team built it. “To my knowledge, this is the first case of a company developing a feature because ChatGPT is incorrectly telling people it exists. (Yay?)”
