Happy to say the Knicks won last night in convincing 2026 mode after I doubted them in Tuesday's post (perhaps they read my blog?). And after I asked if Greenland was the Sudetenland of our time, Trump did his famous TACO thing and said hey I was just kidding, so we don't have to ask if Canada will be this generation's Austria, or Poland? Now I have to say the Knicks beat the Nets, often referred to as the Knicks' "cross-town rivals" by sports announcers who know nothing about New York sports. The same team Kevin Durant said was the new cool NBA team from NYC (it wasn't and isn't and it turns out no one cared what KD said, certainly not basketball fans from the city).

"A way to help others actually make that connection they said they would." I've used this for a decade, and it's probably useful for you, too.

I’m bad at coming up with examples

Yesterday I wrote something. It was, as it often is, the result of reading something I didn’t agree with. If you have read anything on this blog before, you probably know I like to make stupid and extreme examples to illustrate the point I’m trying to make in a specific post...

Good discussion about the future of AI in this interview from Davos with Demis Hassabis and Dario Amodei. Although they ended on a sort of cliffhanger right as Demis started talking about the likelihood of extraterrestrial life, which now I’m curious about.

Watched: The House. An anthology in three parts about the same house, directed and animated by different teams. The style and tone from first to second part was jarring. At times beautiful, at times bonkers and creepy. 🍿

Travis Knight in the press release for Laika’s next stop-motion feature, Wildwood:

Our movie is a celebration of artistry over algorithms, and of the belief that films made by hand, with enormous care, can still feel bold, surprising, dangerous, and alive.

I’m really looking forward to this.

Velocity and authenticity

When I read a blog post I love, I usually find my favorite part of it to quote in a short post on my own blog. Sometimes I can’t find a single excerpt that fits, so I turn it into a full blog post and add more commentary. Such is the case with this fantastic essay by Om Mali...

This is a great extended ad for the new Volvo EX60. You can acknowledge the old hassle when you think you’ve solved it. 500-mile range.

Kagi has a blog post about the Google antitrust ruling and the need for a more open search index, including perhaps a government-backed service:

This layer would replace the role public libraries played for centuries - a role that effectively disappeared when commercial web search took over in the late 1990s. Our ancestors understood well the benefits that non-discriminatory, direct access to information brings to citizens, and ultimately society itself.

Isn't Greenland the Sudetenland of our time?

Yesterday I attended a Code Jam event organised by the EdinburghJS community. During the event, I met many wonderful people. At one point, someone asked me to share my LinkedIn, to which I responded that I’ll share my website instead. I stopped for a moment to consider that t...

Manu Moreale, as usual being thoughtful on his blog:

Assuming something about someone else, based on your own worldview and without asking questions, is intellectually lazy. And it also prevents people who might have different views from engaging in conversation and exploring differences.

The upcoming Europe-based W social network seems well intentioned, but there has gotta be a better name than W. Why draw attention to Twitter / X? And W has the most syllables of any letter. Admittedly “Micro.blog” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue either. 🤪
