Coral has moon dust in her lungs, and one day it will kill her. She doesn't seem to mind. But it has made her fearful: she obsesses over healthy food and handwashing; she will not swim with us in the ocean or ride her motorcycle. Coral, who always

Doc and I might not be the same age - but we lived in the same world.

Personally of the view that the story that he writes about is symptomatic of why we have problems as a society.

Agree? Wondering what I am talking about?

The harness ate the app. Here’s what’s left worth making. Build Headless The input used to be small It used to be that the only input to a model was a largely static system prompt, a query, some content fetched on the basis of that query (e.g. RAG), and that was pretty ...

US police fear Meta smart glasses could be used to secretly record them

I feel like this is just a covert viral marketing campaign by Meta to try and make pervert glasses seem punk lmao

John Gruber on the iPhone Air:

The iPhone Air is the nicest phone Apple has ever made, and probably the nicest device Apple has ever made, period. It’s just so goddamn nice.

I’ve had mine for almost exactly a year now, and I agree. It’s the nicest goddamn phone I’ve ever owned, and I still feel that way every day that I wake up and commence the doomscrolling. And yes; I bought the dumb Apple-branded battery pack and I love it, even though it turns the thinnest iPhone ever into the thickest iPhone ever.

Fractional grid graph paper (generate your own PDFs)

Not that anybody is knocking on my door asking for life advice, but here it is dispensed anyhow. Do yourself a future favor, and record by any means possible the people who carry your family stories. I could not be more thankful for the voices I have digitally preserved, my grandmother, my mom. Last week […]

Cities Are Slowing Down Speeding Drivers With More Green Lights—and It’s Working

It’s called “rest in red,” and in cities where the approach has been pioneered, it’s both promoting better flow and moderating driver speeds, resulting in fewer accidents.

I could get behind this. The light to turn onto my street stays green long enough to let EXACTLY three cars through, if the first in line punches the gas the second it turns green. I’m definitely speeding if it looks like I can make it. Otherwise I’m sitting there for five minutes waiting to turn left, whether there’s traffic or not.

Meta and privacy? Hahahah this is like oil and water. Hahah. www.wired.com/story/met…

Scientists Say LLMs Appear to Be Acting as a Cognitive Virus Among Humans

AI’s wide proliferation shares some striking similarities with the ways viruses spread, as an international team of researchers argue in a new paper that has yet to be peer reviewed. They set out to lay out a new theoretical framework about how we’re increasingly becoming hooked on tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude, and how it’s changing our collective ways of understanding the world around us.

Thought this was interesting. You either love it or hate it; either way it’s spreading like a virus.

When you want to use Linux, you do so in two ways. You either use the command-line interface and type out every single command, or you use the graphical user interface, which is much more user-friendly (on average). However, there is a third way, and it's not talked about as much because it never had enough time to pick up steam.

👁️ 8 Emmys for Widows Bay and I couldn’t even finish the series. Somebody is wrong. No finger pointing now.

Parents are taking their children to see R-rated horror film Buddy thinking it’s a kids movie

Somewhere inside that success, theater workers and moviegoers started reporting kids as young as eight in the audience for a giant orange mascot’s murder spree. According to TheMirror, some parents blamed the cinema once they realized what they had walked into.

I remember watching Jack Frost when I was about that age. I’m still a little creeped out by snowmen.

I’m about to cut a new TestFlight release for @hypertexting.com after …checks calendar… 6+ weeks of work redesigning the SSG, profile manager, and composer. 🤯
