The great wealth transfer reality check

here’s an interesting writeup from that great bastion of progressive thought, visa. a couple of things to take away from this article.

• there’s not as much trickling down as folks might think there is. it’s going to be siphoned off at various stages in the process
• there’s wealth transfer and propping up taking place right now
• this will keep the economic disparities locked in for the next few generations
• consumer spending bumps are likely to be modest. of particular interest to visa who’s keen to get a couple points of fees on all of those transactions.

The Future Of Knowledge Workers In An AI-Driven World this is a great writeup. there’s a fair amount that i’ve discussed with friends and coworkers over the years. having worked in tech for my entire career, i don’t even bother trying to explain to people what i do, it’s w...

AI model achieves breakthrough in forecasting cyclones — Google DeepMind

this is some of the best AI related news i’ve seen in a while. too bad it’s lost in the noise of google staff departures and misc. political dreck.

My weekly blog post. Links this week include a poetry request, human AI and an exhaustive accounting of snakes in films.

For a long time, I resisted subscribing to news services. After all, pretty much all the news was available somewhere for free… For years, my go-to news hub was CNN. I still check it more often than any other news site. In the past year or two, though, CNN has gone from unlimited access to […]

On the KISS principle and Pascal's apology for long letters, the cultural shift away from minimalism, and the growing trend of writer decks. A technical guide to creating a distraction-free writing environment by removing the desktop environment entirely and using terminal-only Linux distributions like Debian, Ubuntu Server, Arch, or Alpine. There's so much you can do in the terminal! There's applications for file management (ranger), web browsing (Lynx, w3m), markdown reading (glow, mdcat), email (Alpine, NeoMutt), IRC (WeeChat, Irssi), music (cmus, MPD), RSS (Newsboat), and writing tools (Micro, WordGrinder), plus document management via git or rsync cron jobs... oh, this is kind of long-winded, isn't it?

For the sake of accountability, I added a blog activity chart (like on Github). The thought is that the chart will shame me into publishing more in pu...

In the Newsonaut colophon, I list VS Code with the caveat: “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” This is a line from The Godfather Part III where Michael Corleone expresses his frustrations over being unable to get out of the mafia. It was also parodied in T...

I've managed to make a small AppleScript that gets the selection from Safari & a link and post it to RSS.chat. I already had a script that copied the selection and put it and a link on the clipboard ready to paste into a blog post. I'd also tried out posting to RSS.chat with bash from TextMate.
