Michael Valdovinos, a clinical psychologist, veteran, trauma expert and the author of Moral Injuries: When Good Conscience Suffers in a World of Hurt (Harper, 2026), talks about recognizing and healing "moral injuries" that occur not from physical trauma, but from acts that violate the conscience.

Here in Vermont, it’s barely spring (which means it’ll probably snow at least one more time before I need to start mowing the lawn). No mountain biking yet. A local theater is playing Silence of the Lambs this weekend (35th anniversary!), so I might go do that. I’ve been working on a new post editor for KDO and it’s coming along — building software and designing interfaces is fun and maddening. Autumn is going to come with some big changes for me, and I’ve been making some progress in preparing for that.

Hows about yous?

Super short 8-second video of the new reply window in Inkwell 1.2 for Mac.

There’s an apocryphal story concerning the original pitch for Girls: Supposedly, Lena Dunham wrote it on the back of a cocktail napkin. It was all vibes but no plot or fleshed-out characters, and situated the show concept somewhere between Gossip Girl and Sex and the City. I...

Lily Yohannes plays soccer with an efficiency that would come off as mechanical if she didn't have the vision of an artist, resulting in some of the most beautiful dribbling sequences and long through balls that have ever graced a pitch. Indeed, the 18-year-old OL Lyonnes st...

It’s Los Angeles in the 1970s. Cars are as long as boats. Beachside tacos are practically free. The sun glares through chunky brown fog, but does nothing to prevent assorted bad acts from happening. A man with a casual, even careless manner may not seem to have what it takes...

If you’ve paid AI any mind in the last few years, you’ve heard of vectors. They are easy to understand:

The post Vectors gave us AI search, tensors are going to make it smarter appeared first on The New Stack.

Tim Cook was a great CEO, but he didn’t crack AI.  It’s job number 1 for John Ternus.

After last night's game I remember I now remember why I was so relieved last season when the Knicks were eliminated in the semifinals of the NBA playoffs. It’s a freaking exhausting sport. And the sad truth is the Knicks are getting beaten by Atlanta. Or maybe it's not so sa...

Fine thread nearly invisible in the early lightkept getting caught again and again in our mouths.We gave up after walking through the fourth web,turned around, and saved the outing for some other day.

Venture capitalists can't subsidize cheap AI forever, and the hunger for more compute is affecting the labor market, the gadget market, and electricity prices.

1D Chess. “You might initially find it more difficult than expected, but assuming optimal play, is there a forced win for white?”

I think about this scene more and more lately.

appConsts.flPostItemsLocally, up till now when you enter an item interactively we immediately post it to the timeline.

i added an option to turn this off because i want the items to show up in the timeline after a roundtrip through the feed, rssCloud, feedLand and the sockets and into the timeline.

in other words, you get it at the same instant all the other users get it.

This pseudo-truth just bugs me. I hear it all the the time. People saying they choose Safari as a browser because it’s better for their battery. But there isn’t any data (that I know of) that proves that Safari is more efficient at battery usage than any other browser. I applaud Matt Birchler who did […]

You want to know what I was like in the ’90s, kids? Take a deep breath and imagine Snapchat doesn’t exist, and the only way to find out who’s having a party tonight is to press *69 on a landline phone and ask someone’s mom. We were built differently back then. I once had a t...

Andy McMillan and Andy Baio: Today, over 10 years later, and almost two full years after we retired the festival for good, we’re finally launching that website. Named after what we thought would be a throwaway title for a short-lived GitHub repo, allow us to introduce XO...

Eva Corlett, reporting for The Guardian in 2023: New Zealand’s new government will scrap the country’s world-leading law to ban smoking for future generations to help pay for tax cuts — a move that public health officials believe will cost thousands of lives and be “cata...
