I’ve posted an update to the Micro.blog 4.0 beta for Mac. You can download the new version here. There’s no “Check for Updates” for the beta. It improves bookmarking and also adds collecting anonymous machine stats for the first time, so we can have a better sense of what Macs people are using.

The World Cup is continuing to suck, and here’s the latest reason why: CBP goons denied referee Omar Artan entry into the U.S., where he was set to become the first-ever Somali to officiate a World Cup game. Artan arrived in Miami on Saturday to attend a mandatory training ...

In 1934, eight-year-old Helen Priestly sets out from her home in Aberdeen, Scotland, and is never seen alive again.

CrankGPT. “Just a hand crank, a little computer, and a small stack of speech and language models running locally. Provided the electronics are kept dry and at a reasonable temperature, there’s no reason this thing won’t still work in a thousand years.”

I am OVER THE MOON excited to see that #Mastodon now has a filtering option for notifications from bots. It’s working spotlessly from a build of Mastodon 4.6 from today (Here’s a screencast of me demoing the feature). This means that people using servers with #tagspub as a relay can opt out of getting boost […]

Blocks of "frozen zones" established by NYPD barricades. Roaming cops and security forces corralling people onto the sidewalk or standing around like an unspoken threat. Leaders' allusions to potential danger so they can justify the militarized spectacle they have set up on ...

My Republican colleagues just held another hearing attacking the Southern Poverty Law Center for supposedly “manufacturing hate.” But when it comes to the very real hate groups fueling racism, violence, and extremism across this country, suddenly they have nothing to say. Spare me the theatrics.

On the Difference Between Rest and Idleness. “The wellness industry loves rest [because] rest can be sold, because rest promises a return.” But: “[Idleness] does not promise to make you better at anything. It offers no return on investment.”

Haiku, Sonnet, Opus, Mythos, Fable. I’m not a fan of Anthropic’s business but I’m a fan of their names. So nice.

Anthropic on Tuesday launched Fable 5, its first generally available Mythos-class model. Fable 5 is essentially the highly capable Mythos

It's almost time for the World Cup. Before the tournament, we'll be previewing each of the top 15 teams by FIFA rankings that made the tournament. Why the top 15? Because that's how many we needed to do in order for the USMNT to make the cut. You can read all of our pre...

If you can make it in person, you should come. The California Theater is a beautiful big theater and tickets are still available.

You can also watch tonight’s show in live stereoscopic immersive in the Theater app from Sandwich Vision on Vision Pro. A purchase of the ticket to the live show, the Theater app for $12.99, is also good for replay forever — with surprise bonus features included. It’s a fun, truly immersive way to experience the show.

Hope to see you there tonight, one way or the other.

I had to wait 4 years to buy my dream camera.

Instead of thinking about on-device models and cloud models, a better framing for Apple vs. everyone else is on-device context and cloud context. Apple is focused on apps, privacy, and security, at the expense of speed and universal access anywhere. There can’t really be a w...
